While for you yesterday might have been just an ordinary day, with its ups and downs, for one celebrity couple it was probably one of the happiest days of their lives, apart from their upcoming wedding day. Ladies and gentlemen, it's official: Kim Kardashian finally made the cover of Vogue Magazine.

The reason why this is such big news is because there have been plenty of rumors in the last couple of months that the Kardashian sister was desperately trying to land on the cover of the prestigious fashion magazine, which she saw as a recognition of her trend-setting skills.

It was also rumored that Kanye, good friends with Anna Wintour, the magazine's editor, was seriously lobbying in order to get his fiancée's wish come to reality. But, as it happened, Anna was not going down that path, or so the gossip in town went.

Now it seems that she has given in, as both Kanye and Kim stare at us from the cover of the April issue of Vogue, sitting in a loving embrace as the magazine plays on a marital theme. Kim can be seen wearing a Lanvin gown, flaunting that major diamond ring on her finger.

So far, Vogue has only released the cover and a video of the making of session, but, more interestingly, it also offered a somewhat curious statement from Wintour, who wants to set the record straight that she did not give in when she put Kim on the cover, but she did it of her own accord.

“You may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancée on Vogue’s cover,” Wintour says according to the New York Daily News, “He did nothing of the sort. The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn’t true.”

That's not the same story insiders with the magazine have to share. They speak of a general consensus between everyone inside the company was that the choice was “lowbrow” and “yucky.” They also reveal an interesting tidbit, namely that Wintour gave into featuring Kim only if she was joined on the cover by Kanye.

The story was certainly big, so it couldn't have gone unnoticed, even by fellow celebrities in Hollywood. Among the first to react to the news of the Kardashian Vogue cover was actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, who tweeted that she was going to protest this move by canceling her Vogue subscription.

In a funny tweet on her personal page she quipped, “Well……I guess I’m canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???”
