When the groom is two inches shorter than the bride, it's difficult to see how a couple could carry off the cheek-to-cheek photograph. But if the newlyweds are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, anything is possible.

Maybe she was bending her knees or wearing flat pumps. Perhaps he was wearing lifts in his shoes. Because somehow, in their official wedding shots, the 5ft 7in actor became a touch taller than his 27-year-old wife.

However, it was not just the photographs that were other than they seemed
