The couple's quick departure from the small Italian town where they were married has the locals feeling resentful, Britain's Telegraph reported. The inhabitants of Bracciano, Italy, said they are upset neither of the couple or any of their celebrity guests acknowledged them at all.
The only sight of Hollywood stars the small group of residents who camped outside the Cruise's wedding was through the blacked-out windows of limousines as they arrived.
One disappointed local said, "I waited outside all day and virtually all night.
"They could have got out of their cars or waved from the castle but instead they didn't acknowledge us at all."
Also, Cruise and Holmes were already married before Saturday's star-studded ceremony, Cruise's spokesman said. He added they tied the knot in secret in Los Angeles last week "as is customary for couples marrying outside of the United States," Britain's Sun reported.
