Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's Roman collision!

At approximately 7:30 p.m. in Rome last night, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were in a fender bender, a witness tells Life & Style exclusively.

It all began when Tom and Katie exited their hotel, the Hassler, on their way to their rehearsal dinner at Nino. The couple waved to a gaggle of fans and jumped into a black Mercedes van, says the witness.

“Tom and Katie sped off down a little alley, and there was a tiny silver Mini parked on the right-hand side of the alley,�? says the witness. “The Mini was starting to pull out as the TomKat car was speeding down the alley. Tom’s car hit the front left-hand bumper.�?

The collision left a deep foot-long scratch on the vehicle. The Mini’s driver, an Italian man in his early 30s, was visibly upset but unharmed. Says the witness, “He just had this look on his face like ‘I'm just trying to drive here!’"

When Life & Style approached the man, he responded in English with a strong Italian accent, “I'm OK. I don't know what happened. This crazy world.�?

Tom didn’t let the incident slow the couple down! He and Katie made it to the rehearsal dinner on time. Tom even dined on one of his favorite foods!

In other Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, wedding news, Tom Cruise must promise to give Katie Holmes a comb and a cat during their
Scientology wedding ceremony this weekend.

If the couple opt for the traditional Scientology service, the minister will
explain that Katie needs "clothes, food, tender happiness and frills, a pan,
a comb and perhaps a cat".

Tom, 44, will then be told he is expected to provide all these things for
Katie.
The minister will later tell Katie, 27, that "young men are free and may
forget their promises".
Tom and Katie, who will recite traditional vows, will also be offered advice
on how to have a successful marriage and the bride and groom must promise
never go to bed angry.
Church of Scientology spokeswoman Karin Pouw is quoted as saying: "They make
a vow to each other that they won't go to sleep at night without having
repaired any upset they may have had during the day."
Tom and Katie's Scientology ceremony will have some similarities to their
Catholic service - both include flower girls, rings, music and a party
afterwards.
Pouw insisted: "Scientology ceremonies are quite normal. People do have a
lot of questions but in a few years from now when a few more thousand people
have attended Scientology wedding ceremonies, it won't be something people
have heard about but have never seen."
Tom and Katie are reportedly tying the knot at a 15th century castle,
Odescalchi, near Rome, on Saturday (18.11.06).
It is rumoured that opera singer Andrea Bocelli will perform.

Meanwhile, People is reporting that Nicole Kidman has sent Tom & Katie a wedding present with a note that "wished them both a lifetime of happiness together."

Tom and Nicole were married for nearly 10 years, and have two children, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, who were also spotted celebrating with Katie and Tom in Rome this week.
