Clooney, Alamuddin captivate Venice on wedding weekend

US actor George Clooney and Lebanese-born human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin formalised their marriage in a civil ceremony in Venice yesterday, capping star-studded weekend nuptials.

The two, who married at a lavish party on Saturday night, spent about 10 minutes inside the lagoon city’s 14th century city hall, the the Palazzo Ca Farsetti, for a civil service registering their marriage.

It was presided over by former Rome mayor and close friend Walter Veltroni.
