Romance is at full bloom in one of the most beautiful and romantic cities of the world.

George Clooney broke a vow to remain single on Saturday and married human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin during a weekend of lavish celebrations in Venice.

The ceremony took place in The Palazzo Papadopoli, Hotel Aman.

Although the ceremony was kept a secret, the newly weds were seen hopping onto a boat and heading towards post-wedding brunch at Hotel Cipriani.

The high profile wedding had celebrities like Bono Vox, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Anna Wintour gracing the couple's wedding.
