It was a day he vowed would never happen but on Saturday 27 September, George Clooney left his bachelor days behind him.
And the 53-year-old heartthrob was still celebrating on Sunday as he and his British human rights lawyer bride Amal Alamuddin, 36, hosted a brunch for family and friends at Hotel Cipriani in Venice.
The newlyweds made their first appearance as man and wife in a stylish watertaxi where they showed off their elegant wedding bands.

ntroducing Mr and Mrs Clooney: George Clooney and his beautiful bride Amal Alamuddin left the Aman Canal Grande in Venice on Sunday after their Saturday nuptials, sporting huge smiles
And there was no hiding their joy as they stood with their arms around each other and flashed large smiles.
George was clad in a grey suit, looking just as dapper as ever and his beautiful bride was positively glowing.
Her lace long-sleeved Giambattista Valli dress was dotted with bright flowers but it was the huge smile which captured attention as the duo shared their joy. Ever the gentleman, George held onto Amal as she navigated her way into the boat.
We haven't been this excited about two people tying the knot since William and Kate (don't tell Kim and Kanye we said that), but Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney are officially married!
And if this is the dress the bride wore the day after can you imagine what she wore for the ceremony? We're dying to see it!
Amal arrived in Venice wearing Dolce & Gabbana, rocked up to the rehearsal dinner in a red Alexander McQueen gown, and now she's making an entrance as the new Mrs. George Clooney in Couture Giambattista Valli.
We're in love. This swoon-worthy dress features purple and red floral embellishments and a drop hem, showing off her perfect pins. The white lace is keeping the bridal vibes going and is a world away from the wig and gown uniform she wears as a human rights lawyer!
Giambattista Valli was a good choice. He's an Italian maestro (well, when in Rome... ish) and is known for intricate designs and incredible tailoring.

Proving his Hollywood royalty status, George and his bride finished off their perfect weekend with regal waves to the adoring crowds as they jetted across the pristine blue waters of Venice in a vintage-inspired wooden speed boat with the Italian word for love 'amore' adorned on the side.
But the romance didn't end there. Although hundreds of locals had flocked to the shore to catch a glimpse of the dazzling duo, George and Amal appeared absolutely besotted with one another; continually staring into each other's eyes.
The couple tied the knot at the seven-star Aman Canal Grande Hotel on Saturday night, in a ceremony conducted by their close friend and ex-mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni.
Adding a sentimental touch to the wedding, friends and family were gifted with a personal photo of the pair. In the image, a casually dressed George holds Amal around the waist and lovingly bites her sunhat as the lawyer beams with an ear-to-ear grin.
It's believed US Vogue has secured the rights to the wedding pictures and the couple will be donating the fee they receive to a charity of their choice. The pair reportedly banned guests from bringing mobile phones in a bid to prevent unauthorised pictures being leaked from the event.
TMZ also claims the Gravity actor devised a cunning plan which enabled punters to take photos, which he could monitor. According to the website, guests were given a specially made camera and code.

Following the ceremony, guests were met with champagne and canapes including polenta with wild mushrooms and prosciutto ham with figs, according to a source.
Ever the prankster, George kept the crowd entertained en route to his wedding, pulling a series of humorous expressions as he headed to meet his bride-to-be. But one thing he couldn't hide was his excitement, grinning from ear-to-ear as he made his way along the Grand Canal.
Last night, dozens of celebrities were taking to Twitter to congratulate the actor on his wedding.
The actor was accompanied by his father Nick as he made the 15-minute journey from the Cipriani hotel to the exclusive Amal resort, where he was meeting his bride-to-be.
