ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
The world's most famous bachelor, George Clooney, turned Venice's Grand Canal into an aquatic red carpet on Saturday (September 27)as star-studded festivities began in earnest for his wedding to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin.
All attempts to hide events from prying eyes appeared to be working late in the evening, as festivities took place in the 7-star Aman hotel overlooking the canal.
Drinks for the wedding party which included top Hollywood names such as Matt Damon and Bill Murray, were believed to have been laid on in a rear garden before dinner in the main dining room, where the pair were to say vows informally ahead of a civil service on Monday, according to local reports.
The official ceremony is expected to be held on Monday at Venice's town hall, the 14th-century Ca' Farsetti palace, and Italian media reported that the former mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni, a film buff and Clooney's friend, would officiate.
