With that, the turbocharged romance of the couple nicknamed TomKat hurtled forward faster than a speeding bullet train, as Cruise, who turns 43 on July 3, and Batman Begins' Holmes, 26, boarded a high-speed rail to travel from Paris to Marseille for Cruise's June 17 War of the Worlds premiere. "I want to marry her as soon as possible," Cruise said mid-ride. "Without a doubt, in Paris, the most romantic city in the world." Of those who think the relationship might be too much too soon, Cruise told PEOPLE, "You have to do what you feel is right. So many people are worried about what other people think. It's [about] your own integrity and how you want to live your life."
