But now that the ‘Hollywood Wedding of the Year’ is over, it’s time for the A listers to make their way home from Venice's Marco Polo airport.

Keen to end the memorable weekend with a bang, Bono and Ali spent their last few hours taking a water taxi around the city's picturesque canals.

"Wedding? What wedding? I was at a bar mitzvah," Bono joked to People Magazine as he was papped over the weekend.

"It was very emotional and lovely," he said of the ceremony.

"The party was great," he said. "It's still going on … in some people's minds."

The Ocean’s Eleven star is close friends with U2 frontman Bono, and even had him at his engagement party back in May.

After months of speculation, Clooney (53) and his Lebanese bride (36) legalized their marriage yesterday in a civil ceremony before being spotted at the Venice airport leaving the Italian city.
