Nicole Kidman totally knew about daughter's wedding

Despite rumours that suggest Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman had "no idea" about their daughter's wedding, it seems the opposite is actually true.

New reports today confirm that although she didn't attend the nuptials of Isabella Cruise, who tied the knot with British IT consultant Max Parker in London earlier this week, Nicole was very much a part of the planning process.

"Nicole was actually involved with the wedding preparations and she did have a private dinner with Bella and Max," said a source. "But she didn't go to the ceremony."

The reason? The couple wanted to keep the ceremony as secretive as possible - and having Tom and Nicole in the same room might have given things away.

The source added: "Also, the animosity between Tom and Nicole was probably a factor."

Tom was also a no-show, with the couple asking both parents to stay away in order to keep the entire event from becoming a circus.

But Cruise didn't get off lightly - apparently he footed the bill for the "very expensive" wedding.

"The ceremony was low-key but very expensive," a source said. "Tom picked up the bill and paid for everything, but it was decided that neither he nor Nicole should attend as it would have turned the whole event into a circus."
