That's amore! Though they've been almost everywhere together, Italy is the place that holds both Clooney and Alamuddin's hearts. "I met my lovely bride-to-be here in Italy, whom I will be marrying, in a couple of weeks, in Venice, of all places," Clooney divulged in September. The duo dined in Venice in May and near Clooney's villa on Lake Como in August, where their mothers bonded over shopping. Alamuddin also got her chance to shine as the officiant of a cousin's wedding in Florence in July.
