Donning a black, grey and pink dress with a fur shawl, Vogue editor Anna Wintour (top left) was pictured being helped on to a waiting boat by three employees. She was closely followed by George's mother Nina and sister Adelia, who were wearing a sparkly nude dress and a purple gown respectively.

The actor was accompanied by his father Nick as he made the 15-minute journey from the Cipriani hotel to the exclusive Amal resort, where he was meeting his bride-to-be.

Time to reflect: It's been a whirlwind romance for George and Amal, who have been together less than a year





Sadly, George's long-time pal Ben Affleck couldn't make the event due to commitments to attend the premiere of his new movie Gone Girl during the New York Film Festival on Friday evening.
The new movie, which also Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry, sees Affleck star as Nick Dunne, whose wife Amy vanishes on their fifth wedding anniversary.
Her disappearance becomes the focus of an intense media circus and Nick sees the spotlight turned on him when it’s suspected that he may not be innocent.

Mr Clooney's fiancée had remained inside the resort for the duration of the day following her hen party the previous night.
While Ms Alamuddin was busy preparing the event, George spent the day larking around the nearby Cipriani Hotel with his best man Randy Herber and his wife Cindy Crawford, following his stag night on Friday.




21 years: It's been over two decades since George Clooney was last married - to actress Talia Balsam








Fitting boat: The Clooney clan hit the water on a water taxi called 'Amore' the Italian word for 'love'

Let's go: George was full of smiles as he departed with a gift clutched in his left hand


Curiously, the actor appeared to clutch a gift wrapped object as he departed with his two friends some time later.
The Hollywood star looked fresh-faced despite his late night out the night before which saw him spend his final night as a single man downing tequila shots and vintage red wine with his groomsmen.
During the meal the group were presented with thousands of pounds worth of vintage 2010 Sassicaia red wine, which costs up to £250 a bottle - a wedding present from restaurant owner Giovanni Fracassi.

His rumoured best man, Rande, had also brought several bottles of tequila, which the group enjoyed after their dinner at the exclusive eatery.
Meanwhile, preparations were well underway for the big day, with scaffolding being erected around the main jetty of the Aman Canal Grande Venice, which is hosting the wedding party.
Workers could be seen hauling in vast bouquets of ivory flowers, hinting at the colour scheme the pair have opted for.













George's actor buddy Matt Damon was also spotted enjoying a ****tail reception along with the groom at the Belmond Hotel Cipriani on Saturday afternoon.
A fierce bidding war has broken out among the world's biggest celebrity publications, who are all desperate to capture the moment that Oscar-winner Clooney finally says 'I do'.
It is understood that the US edition of fashion bible Vogue has all but secured the rights after bidding well in excess of £1million.


Back in 1989, George married actress Talia Balsam in a wedding officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator in Las Vegas.
This time around, the nuptials have been a far more stylish affair, as it is understood US Vogue secured the rights after bidding well in excess of £1 million.
However, there are said to have been further negotiations for a British celebrity magazine to share the rights with a seven-figure offer being made.




What did the regulars say? Emily Blunt, Anna Wintour and Hollywood star Matt were all spotted enjoying a few drinks as they waited for the bride and groom to arrive at local eatery Da Ivo restaurant




The In crowd: Only a select few VIP guests have been invited to George's big day




Deep in conversation: The star studded party seemed to be getting along famously inside the modest Italian restaurant




Time for round two: The boats set to be used by the wedding party were seen being adorned with flowers ahead of Saturday night's celebrations




Just perfect: The members of staff took great care to ensure that they fix the flowers in the right positions


Any fee given to the couple will be donated to a charity of their choice. The couple have already requested that guests do not bring mobile phones in a bid to prevent unauthorised pictures being leaked from the event.
Hollywood royalty Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were also expected to attend the high profile ceremony.
George's actor cousin Miguel Ferrer, son of screen and singing legend Rosemary Clooney, was seen arriving with his wife Lori Weintraub on Friday, as was his Ocean's Thirteen co-star Ellen Barkin.




The big night: The couple will host a star-studded reception in the city's seven-star Aman Hotel on the Grande Canal, an occasion that Amal's parents reportedly insisting on paying for




I'll drink to that: George spent his final night as a single man downing tequila shots and vintage red wine with his groomsmen




Helping hand: George was seen making his way out of Da Ivo restaurant as he prepared to join his fiance and her family at their hotel




Celebration: George Clooney, his rumoured best man Rande Gerber (centre) and his groomsmen enjoy some fine liquor after dinner at the exclusive five-star Cipriani Hotel on the nearby island of Giudecci




Fire and Ice! She'll be wearing white on Saturday, but Amal Alamuddin opted for a red gown for a lavish dinner put on ahead of her and George Clooney's wedding


The path to happiness has not been an easy one for George.
He dated John Travolta's now-wife Kelly Preston for 14 months between 1987 and 1989, and is said to have been heartbroken that she dumped him for Charlie Sheen.
George then entered into his most serious romance (up until Amal) with fellow actress Talia Balsam.

Look into my eyes: Glowing couple George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin couldn't take their eyes off each other when they sped through Venice, Italy, on Friday on taxi boats to their future wedding location


Talia had actually dated George for three years before Kelly, and got back together two years later before driving to Vegas in a Winnebago to tie the knot. But after three years the couple divorced amid reports of arguments about money.
Clooney admitted in a Vanity Fair interview: 'I probably – definitely – wasn't someone who should have been married at that point. I just don't feel like I gave Talia a fair shot.'
Talia went on to marry Mad Men star John Slatterly, while George's next girlfriend was actress Kimberly Russell.





So in love: George and Amal soaked up the sun as they made one of their final journeys before becoming man and wife





The happy couple: Perpetual bachelor George Clooney changed his ways for British-born Amal


He dumped her in 1995 (by letter rather than face-to-face) allegedly because he wanted to see other women and take advantage of his blossoming fame after starring in TV drama ER.
After the split Kimberley said: ‘You have to enjoy the ride while it lasts — he’s simply not the marrying kind. The guy is an absolute charmer, but just don’t mention the words “marriage, commitment or babies”.’
His second longest relationship was with another Brit, the former model-turned-radio presenter Lisa Snowdon.
They dated on and off for five years though Lisa never moved into his Los Angeles home. Having met on the set of a Martini commercial in 2000, and the final three years were said to be angst-filled.
However, Lisa became one of the rare ladies in his life to send him packing rather than the other way round.
But the search was over for George, who found the one to call his wife in 36-year old Amal.
