14 DAY TRIAL // Kim Kardashian and Kanye West tied the knot last weekend in Florence, Italy, at a gorgeous castle, and are now off to their honeymoon – presumably in Ireland but definitely without daughter North West. In between spending time with her third husband, Kim is also squeezing in some Twitter sessions, albeit they’re very brief, to post photos.
Some days before the wedding, the reality star took to social media to deny reports that she would document the ceremony and part of the reception for inclusion on her E!-produced family reality show, saying she and Kanye valued their “privacy” too much to do that.
She did promise photos, though – and here they are!
Kim Kardashian posted the three pics in the gallery below to her Instagram, showing off her gorgeous Givenchy dress. Both she and Kanye wore Givenchy on their big day, which makes sense considering that they’re so close to designer Riccardo Tisci that Kim even joked once he was North’s new personal stylist.
Tisci also designed the monstrous floral gown (with matching gloves and shoes, drawing comparisons to Mrs. Doubtfire or grandma’s favorite couch) that Kim wore at the MET Gala 2013, but also some of the gowns Kim has been wearing ever since, most of which had a much better impact on fans and fashion pundits.
He and Kanye have worked together in the past and, whenever the rapper’s in Paris, they hang out together. They’re close as family so, because of this, it was to be expected to have him dress them both at the wedding.
E! News has another photo from the photo booth set up outside the reception, with Kim and Kanye showing off their custom-made Givenchy leather jackets, which spelled “Just” and “Married” on the back.
From what we can see from Kim’s Instagram photos, the gown had long lace sleeves and a completely see-through lace back. It also had lace cutouts on the side that further accentuated Kim’s hourglass figure, making her waistline appear even slimmer and her curvaceous posterior more… well, curvaceous.
Kim wore her hair down during the ceremony and walked down the aisle covered from head to toe (including the face) with a gorgeous veil. She and Kanye said their “I Do”s in front of a giant wall of white roses, not unlike the one the rapper had sent over to her house on Mother’s Day.
The photo of them walking hand in hand after they were married has been captioned “Mrs. and Mr. Kanye West.”
Some time ago, after she had just announced her engagement, Kim was asked if she’d planned to take Kanye’s name once they were married. She said she couldn’t give up on Kardashian completely because that was her “brand,” so she was thinking of having the name changed to “Kim Kardashian-West.”
This is Kanye’s first marriage and Kim’s third. She first tied the knot with music producer Damon Thomas, but things went sour really quickly among talk that she was a shopping addict and he was a physically and verbally abusive man.
Her second marriage, to NBA star Kris Humphries, lasted a mere 72 days: the divorce proceedings lasted longer than that because Kris tried to have the prenup annulled citing fraud, saying that she had duped him into marrying her just to boost ratings for her show.
Kanye, you know what they say, third time’s a charm.
