So, Where Are Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Getting Married? What We Know So Far

  • 21 May 2014

Not very much actually. We’re vaguely aware Kanye West will be marrying Kim Kardashian sometime this month but that’s about as far as it goes. The rumour mill has been working overtime meaning the event is clouded in an air of secrecy, quite an impressive feat for a family who broadcast their lives on national television!

Kimye are not releasing any details of the wedding.

Here’s what we know so far:

Where?

First it was Paris, then it wasn’t allowed, then Paris again, then Florence and now – finally – it seems it may be both! Paparazzo’s may become the new international jetsetters as they scurry from Paris to Florence. Reports in the Mirror suggest the pair will begin their wedding festivities in Paris, at the Palace of Versaille where they will treat they guests to a private tour of the historic site on the eve of their wedding. The next day the couple and their guests may jet (private of course) to Florence, Italy where they will finally tie the knot! Kimye have allegedly booked out the Belvedere, a fortress once owned by the infamous Medici family.

When?

Definitely this weekend, unless the invitation we were all given a sneak preview of via a leaking guest was a hoax. The guests are invited to Paris on Friday 23rd for a cocktail party before the pair tie the knot on Saturday 24th.

Who?

We’re slightly clearer on who will be attending the event. Obviously the usual suspects are bound to appear with the entire Kardashian-Jenner family already in France (or Italy – who knows) including matriarch Kris Jenner and Kim’s siblings: Khloe, Kourtney, Rob, Kylie and Kendall. Bruce Jenner, Kim’s step-father, flew out to Paris to join the extended family yesterday (20th May). He is rumoured to be walking his step-daughter down the aisle.

However, all may not be harmonious as wedding guests are already rumoured to be dropping out including Bruce’s son from a previous relationship, Brody. As Us Weekly reports, The Hills star Brody Jenner may not be attending the Kimye wedding as his girlfriend has allegedly not been invited. Brody has been dating Caitlynn Carter for the past seven months. Sources claim not all guests have been presented with a plus one which may account for Carter’s seeming lack of invitation. As such Brody, according to reports, has refused to attend without his girlfriend.

As for the other guests, Larsa and Scottie Pippen, Carmelo and La La Anthony, Brittny Gastineau, Serena Williams, Blac Chyna, and Jonathan Cheban are all reportedly invited. Kim’s close friend Ciara is likely to miss the occasion as she has recently given birth to her son with rapper Future. Jay-Z and Beyoncé may also be missing the occasion as one source claims the occasion is going to be too public.

In What?

Kim is likely to appear in a number of dresses, in a similar fashion to the trio she appeared in at her wedding to Kris Humphries in 2011. She wore Vera Wang for the occasion but may be using an Italian designer, according to the Telegraph. Italian designer, Ermanno Daelli, is rumoured to be helping Kanye with the wedding design in Florence and may well be helping style Kim too. However, the dresses really are top secret so it seems unlikely we will know until after the event. Kanye is also rumoured to have met up with Jean Touitou, the founder of A.P.C, and so may well be wearing a suit (we hope!) designed by him for the occasion.

The Entertainment?

Lana Del Ray will apparently be performing at the event. Apparently Kanye tried to get Lana to play at his proposal as the 'Young and Beautiful' is one of Kim’s favourite songs. Unfortunately, Lana refused but Kanye has reportedly since increased the offer to one Lana simply couldn’t refuse. A source, speaking to the Mirror, said “Kanye knew how much Kim loved Lana’s music, which is why he tried to get her to perform at the proposal. So he upped the offer to perform at the wedding and told Lana that it’s his and Kim’s special song and it would mean so much to have her perform it. She couldn’t say no.”

The Honeymoon?

Kim has already mentioned that she will be taking some time off to spend with her new husband and their daughter, North. The pair may be jetting off somewhere exotic on a private yacht but reports are, as with the rest, yet to be confirmed.

Unfortunately, much of the wedding and the details may remain hearsay as Kim has already announced the nuptials will not be filmed for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. She tweeted the sad news on 7th May, writing “We are not filming our wedding for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. You will see everything leading up til and after!” adding “As much as we would love share these memories on camera, we’ve decided to keep this close to out heart.” Kim added the pair would likely be sharing their day with fans through pictures.
