14 DAY TRIAL // With so much anticipation and truckloads of speculation, it's hard to discern just what is real and what is fake in the reports about the Kim and Kanye wedding that is scheduled to take place later this week. However, we have now for the first time some insider information that sheds some light into the matter.
Page Six claims to have it on good authority that all guests arriving at the Kim and Kanye wedding will get their own personal security, as well as mobile phone on arrival in Paris, all to help keep the secrecy of the event.
The schedule of the wedding is as follows: all the guests are going to arrive in Paris on Friday, after which they will be taken for a brunch at the iconic designer Valentino Garavani's splendid château. From there, it's straight to the Palace of Versailles, where the guests are going to receive a private tour of the facility once the regular visiting hours are over.
It seems that Kim and Kanye were refused a wedding at the Palace of Versailles because local authorities didn't think that the couple was distinguished enough for an official ceremony at the famous landmark outside Paris.
The brunch on Friday is being hosted at the Chateau de Wideville at the behest of fashion journalist Andre Leon Talley, who has asked Valentino to put up his 17th century residence sitting in the middle of 120 acres of manicured gardens outside the French capital.
In return, Talley is going to cover the event for Vogue which will later be run on the fashion magazine's website. This could be a move to pay back some debts after Kim's coveted Vogue version undersold initial estimates and proved to be an unsuccessful gamble.
On Saturday, the wedding party will be flown out to Florence, Italy, where the actual ceremony is going to take place at Fort Belvedere. One of the mayor's officials in Florence confirmed that the power couple had rented the fort for almost a half a million dollars.
As recently confirmed, the wedding is not going to be filmed and broadcast, which is why the couple is now bothering with the extra security and the mobile phones, as it's trying to prevent any leaks in the press.
All in all, it's said to be a small procession, despite the fact that it was advertised as one of the most outrageous ceremonies the world has ever seen, with infinite numbers of guests and with an even large bill that was going to be handled by E! Now, we're not so sure that that's going to happen.
