Curious for a look? Cruise wedding views are available for a price



ROME (AP) -- The glitzy weekend wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may still be days away, but residents in the quiet town of Bracciano are already taking their cues from one of the actor's most well-known movies: "Show me the money!"
Learning from the "Jerry Maguire" scene, residents around the imposing 15th-century Odescalchi Castle, which is rumored to be the venue for Saturday's event, are rushing to rent out windows and terraces overlooking the mansion to the media pouring into the location near Rome.
The Bracciano City Hall, which appears to be one of the better placed, is renting the windows of a nearby building with a view on the main entrance of the castle for 1,280. Prices for other homes nearby include a bargain 255.
In one case, though, the prices aren't so reasonable: A private terrace overlooking the likely route of the nuptial motorcade and castle's internal parking was offered to a TV news agency for 128,000.
