Tom and Katie set the date

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning an Independence Day weekend wedding if changes to their marriage registry list at US department store Neiman Marcus are to be believed.

The couple, listed as Katherine Holmes and Thomas Mapother - Cruise's birth name - are only asking for Neiman Marcus gift cards at this stage, but they have set the date for July 7 - four days after the War of the World star's 44th birthday.
