NEW YORK - Brides.com, the destination site from Conde Nast Publications, has found that 43 percent of its users think that this weekend's TomKat wedding is just another publicity stunt.

While it goes without saying that brides-to-be love getting new information on wedding tips and trends, more than half of respondents said they're ready for the "wedding of the year" to be over.

Here are the results:

Since Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were so public about their engagement, what would you like to see for their wedding?

- 15 percent said they'd like to see an equally outrageous ceremony/reception

- 25 percent said they'd like to see a quieter, less public affair - this is a marriage!

- 42 percent couldn't care less

- and 18 percent said they hope they elope so this drama is over with!

Do you want to know every detail?

- 15 percent said absolutely wanted to know every detail ... from her shoe heel height to his cufflinks

- 35 percent said "For the most part. It's fun to think about all the celebrity details."

- 23 percent claimed to not pay attention

- and 27 percent think the whole obsession is just weird

Why is this such a big deal?

- 17 percent think it's a big deal because they're huge stars ... bottom line

- 21 percent said it's win-win. They like the attention and we like giving it!

- the same amount, 21 percent, said they think it's because they're insecure

- 40 percent said that it's not a big deal (if you don't want it to be)

Do you think this wedding is just another publicity stunt?

- 43 percent said "absolutely, everything Tom Cruise does is a publicity stunt."

- only 7 percent think that they're really in love and that it's not about publicity

- 29 percent still aren't sure

- and 19 percent think the wedding is for publicity but the marriage is for real

Do you think that the November 18 date and the Italy location is for real?

- 27 percent said "Yes, I think that they will want everyone to see the big day so why would they lie?"

- The same amount, 27 percent, said "No, it is probably just a decoy ... they will get married somewhere else and then wait months to share any pics with the world (just like they did with Suri)"

- 45 percent were undecided, still!
