The 'Sexy Back' singer says a love for food and wine made their decision easy.

Justin Timberlake and his new wife Jessica Biel have revealed the reason they chose their Italian wedding location.

The showbiz couple married in Puglia earlier this month and have admitted their passion for food and wine was a key influence on their decision to choose the venue.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Jessica confessed: "Well, we love to eat. We just felt like we wanted to have great food, great wine and a great time with friends and family."

The 'Cry Me A River' singer added: "We love wine and we love food. I think this place is really special for us and the time we've shared thus far.

"Probably more so what Jess said - we just really love to eat and the Italians do it better than anybody."

Speaking about performing a special ballad to the Total Recall actress at the wedding, Justin recently admitted that grown men were crying as he serenaded his bride in front of their guests.

The couple also caused controversy after a video tape emerged online, which was said to have been played at the ceremony, that featured clips mocking the homeless.

The singer turned actor apologised for any offense caused and called the move a "lapse in judgement" from his friends who created the video.
