Cruise has begged the Aussie actress to come to the event

Tom Cruise is desperate to have his ex-wife and Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman attend his wedding with Batman Begins actress Katie Holmes.

Annanova quotes the Sun daily as saying that the star has begged the Aussie actress to come to the event. But Kidman has not given her blessings for the marriage.

Cruise apparently wants Kidman to be present for the sake of their two adopted children and show then that they are still friends.

Cruise and Kidman, who have two adopted kids, divorced in 2001..

The 42-year-old star proposed to 26-year-old Holmes earlier this month, seven weeks after they met, and is keen for his bride-to-be and his ex-wife to get along.

Cruise and Holmes got engaged after spending just seven weeks together amid swirling accusations that the relationship was an elaborate publicity stunt for both the actors’ upcoming movies.
