Holmes' dad slams disapproval rumours

Kate Holmes' dad has hit out at rumours that he is unhappy with his daughter's marriage to Tom Cruise.

The actress' dad Martin made clear his views in his speech at the couple's rehearsal dinner. He branded Cruise "the right guy" for his daughter, and commended the actor for showing her so much love.

He said: "Tom expressed his love in many different ways - obviously he wanted the whole world to know how much he loved Katie. I like that. I respect men who are not afraid to show their true feelings. I respect Tom for the commitment he had made to provide happiness and love to Katie."
