Newlywed George Clooney has declared that married life "feels pretty damn great".

Clooney tied the knot with human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin at the weekend during a lavish four-day getaway, which saw a plethora of A-listers grace the canals of Venice.

Clooney opted for a black tuxedo from Giorgio Armani's Made To Measure collection and leather oxfords.

His cufflinks were an elegant and personal touch - a gift from his soon-to-be wife. Each was engraved with the word "George", written in Arabic.
