Hollywood A-lister George Clooney got hitched to acclaimed London barrister Amal Alamuddin in an intimate ceremony in Italy over the weekend.

Like the contemporary A-list Hollywood weddings, Clooney's nuptials with the gorgeous Lebanese lawyer was a private affair, far from the prying eyes of world media and curious fans.

Family and close friends of the new couple made their way to the luxurious Aman Canal Grande hotel in Italy to attend the wedding.
