Tom Cruise made his first semi-public appearance today since arriving in Rome, Italy earlier this week.  Cruise & fiance Katie Holmes are to be married this weekend at an undisclosed location, probably near a lake & more than likely at Odescalchi Castle on Lake Bracciano.

Cruise was captured on camera leaving in a van from his luxury hotel Hassler Tuesday.  Tom relaxed as his dark tinted window van sped away from the public eye.  I can get a glimpse of Cruise’s 11-year-old son Connor and is that Katie in the background?  Nope, it looks to be Tom’s 13-year-old daughter Isabella. 

I’m sure we’ll get some more pictures of TomKat as we vamp up to wedding day bliss Saturday.
