Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes already married in the eyes of L. Ron.

Could the celebrity wedding of the year have happened already? Word is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may have gotten hitched eight months ago — at least in the eyes of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's church.
One of the church's chaplains married the couple early last July in a ceremony at sea, according to The National Enquirer.

Cruise and Holmes, who met a few months earlier, are said to have exchanged rings emblazoned with triangular Scientology symbols during a Caribbean cruise aboard the sect's ship the Freewinds. (They supposedly wear their rings only at church functions.) Holmes, who once claimed she would remain virginal until her wedding day, wore white, says the tab.

After the ceremony, the couple walked across a tiny bridge — a Scientology symbol for the journey to "total freedom," sources claim. Scientologists John Travolta and Kirstie Alley are said to have been on the ship, where guests also celebrated Cruise's 43rd birthday.

Holmes' Catholic family was not present, but is due to attend their "official" wedding later this year.

Yesterday, a rep for the couple insisted, "They have not yet wed, and are continuing to move forward with their plans for the big day." (Chances are that will be after Tom's ex Nicole Kidman has hers, which is now rumored to be in Nashville, where her beau, Keith Urban, has a home.)

The rings are the best part. How fucking more idiotic can this get? Much, much more, I hope...

This is bullshit for so many reasons.

First, Tom said himself they are not married yet, he told that to Barbara Walters. Second of all did i hear it right? the "virgin" vow, this girl dated an actor, who i cant remember his name, for 5 years not days or weeks but years! unless they are talking about Britney's version of being "virgin", and they look alike as well.

Maybe this is a way of her being able to say she was a virgin when married. Also, I love how virgins will do anything but vaginal penetration. I had friends years ago who would do things I hadn't even heard of but wouldn't let their boyfriend 'put it in' longer than a few seconds. Hilarious.

I am glad it is in the eyes of "the church" and not L. Ron. I was thinking WTF?...they are seen as married through the eyes of a dead person? That is sick!

^^ No one has ever proved him dead though. If they did, his family would stand to gain his fortune. Scientology can't let that happen so they'll never say if the old man has kicked the bucket.

Yeah, she was with Chris Klein. I had a friend who was a "virgin" too and was so much more adventurous than any of our other friends. As soon as you get hot and bothered, it doesn't matter if there's penetration or not, that's my view on it!!!

Ah yes, the lucky decoder rings. Wonder twins unite!

I don't have any kids, so I can't say for sure how I'd react, but if I were Katie's parents I don't think I'd want any part of that wedding.

I think it is bullshit...
But, I think it is weird how many definitionso of VIRGIN we (not we posters, we as a whole ) have:
You can suck a -ok, oral sex either way
Butt sex
put it in for 5 seconds? WTF ? When you are PENETRATED you are not a virgin--you don't have to have hour long sex and 5 orgasms to qualify as no longer a virgin

The TomKat saga is getting sadder by the day.... I would think her family must be on their knees praying for a miracle that Katie runs and runs very quickly, after donking Tom on the head with the pillow....
