George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin may now be officially husband and wife, but insiders say that the first exchange of vows was "fiction" and that the real wedding will take place in Ca' Farsetti. The said news was reported by the local publication, "Il Gazzettino".

News of the second ceremony were prompted by the fact that the streets surrounding the 14th-century Ca' Farsetti town hall would be closed on Monday for the couple.

The Monday ceremony will allegedly be officiated by Rome's former mayor, Walter Veltroni, a close friend of Clooney.

The 53-year old actor-director, who was once dubbed as the most eligible bachelor in the world, got hitched to the 36-year old human rights lawyer at the 7-star Aman hotel on the Grand Canal last Saturday. The intimate ceremony was attended by the couple's close family and friends.

Although Clooney and Alamuddin have managed to maintain a level of secrecy when it came to the event, their wedding has still been noted as the event of the year in Venice, with lavish receptions and dinners at high-class hotels and, the presence of A-list guests such as Cindy Crawford, Bono, Matt Damon and Bill Murray.

"Everybody's been talking about it, everywhere we went today it was just 'Clooney, Clooney, Clooney'," a witness to the buzz about town, Canadian art intern Megan Ho. 

The newlyweds left their hotel on a wooden speedboat aptly named "Amore" the day after the supposed first ceremony to head out to the Cipriani hotel for a late lunch.

Clooney was dashing in a light grey suit and Alamuddin was gorgeous in a floral, lace dress. The two looked comfortable and happy as they waved at the swarm of photographers and well-wishers on the bridges of Venice fighting to get a glimpse of the high-profile newylweds.
