Tom Cruise is desperate to have his ex-wife and Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman attend his weeding with "Batman Begins" actress Katie Holmes.

Annanova quotes the Sun daily as saying that the star has begged the Aussie actress to come to the event. But Kidman has not given her blessings for the marriage.

Cruise apparently wants Kidman to be present for the sake of their two adopted children and show then that they are still friends.

Cruise and Holmes got engaged after spending just seven weeks together amid swirling accusations that the relationship was an elaborate publicity stunt for both the actors' upcoming movies.
