A fierce bidding war has broken out among the world's biggest celebrity publications, who are all desperate to capture the moment that Oscar-winner Clooney finally says 'I do'.

It is understood that the US edition of fashion bible Vogue has all but secured the rights after bidding well in excess of £1million. However, there are said to have been further negotiations for a British celebrity magazine to share the rights with a seven-figure offer being made.

Any fee given to the couple will be donated to a charity of the couple's choice.

The couple have already requested that guests do not bring mobile phones in a bid to prevent unauthorised pictures being leaked from the event.

Having secured rights to the pictures, US Vogue editor was proud to have an invite to the high profile event.

She jetted straight out from Paris Fashion Week to Venice in Italy wearing a suitably stylish green knit and a yellow satin skirt.
