As the supposed date for the biggest wedding of the year in showbiz, that of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, is drawing near, word has it that it might not take place in Paris after all, but in Florence, Italy. This is where Kanye is right now, working on a new fashion project.

For months, it’s been said that Kanye and Kim will tie the knot on May 24 in Paris, France but, for the past couple of days, a new theory has started making the rounds online, saying that Paris could be just a “distraction” because the real ceremony would actually take place in Florence.

The fact that the rapper is now there, while Kim is supposedly going crazy with the wedding planning, would seem to indicate that there is at least some truth to the story. The same goes for his interview with the Italian press, cited by the Daily Mail, in which Kanye says, “I adore Florence. I love Italy and the Italian lifestyle.”

In other words, it seems that Paris isn’t Kanye’s number one favorite city in the world. The fact that North, his daughter with Kim, was probably conceived there would add more weight to this theory.

“To tell you the truth, I already came to the banks of the Arno [river] with Kim last year, just the two of us, incognito,” Kanye says of a visit he and Kim made in October 2012. Since the media knows about it, it wasn’t really “incognito,” but we’ll let that slide for once.

“I think that our daughter North was conceived here among the Renaissance masterpieces,” Kanye shares. “It was our first honeymoon. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world – for me the most beautiful in Europe.”

Now that’s the kind of detail that Kanye doesn’t really dish out to the media. Then again, Kanye hardly ever talks about Kim and North unless it’s in a rant in one of his concerts or in an interview with a media outlet he really likes, which is meant to serve one very specific purpose.

The purpose here could be that of indirectly letting the world know that he and Kim will be married here, many celebrity pundits seem to be believe. That sounds like clutching at straws to us, but Kanye’s statements are still good enough to add some weight to the rumor that the wedding could take place here.

To end this on a less uncertain note, cut to Kanye once more, “[I'm] very happy,” he said. “I am a romantic: for Mother’s Day I gave Kim a wall of flowers. Family is everything for me, the antidote to the pressure of fame. Family and creativity relax me. I am happy to create for my family.”
