STORY: The world's most famous bachelor, George Clooney, welcomed A-list stars to Venice on Saturday (September 27) for his wedding to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, with details of the long weekend bash kept as hazy as the morning fog over the Grand Canal.

The extravaganza, billed as the party of the year, was making the Italian city of gondolas and palazzos look like Hollywood on the Adriatic.

Clooney helped guests onto the water taxis at the Cipriani and off when they reached the Aman, where workers put up a brown canvas canopy with side walls on a floating wharf to protect the guests from prying eyes and photographers' long lenses.

They were due to have drinks in a rear garden before dinner in the main dining room, where the two were were to exchange vows informally ahead of a civil service on Monday, according to local reports.
