14 DAY TRIAL // It was such a big secret that Lana Del Rey, Kim Kardashian's favorite artist, was going to play at their rehearsal party that we called it days ago. Still, the planned event seems to have taken everyone by surprise and, according to reports, it was also very moving.
All you're going to see on the news this weekend is the event that has been named “The Wedding of the Century” between reality star Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West, although we're pretty sure that in five years' time, few will remember the big day.
Regardless, the here and now demands that we analyze what went on yesterday at the Palace of Versailles, where the pre-wedding party took place. E! Online reports that the festivities leading up to the nuptials were straight out of fairy tales.
We've seen reports that indicate the Palace of Versailles denied granting Kim and Kanye the possibility of having their wedding there, because they weren't quite famous enough, but they did relent to staging a party for them and several of their guests. So, yesterday, the Versailles Palace announced its visitors that they would be locking up early, and then they set about organizing the event.
One of the best surprises for Kim and her guests is said to be the fact that Lana Del Rey showed up and played a set especially for her, which included her favorite songs “Young and Beautiful” and “Summertime Sadness.”
An insider confirms “Kim and Kanye love her and were so happy she could sing for them.” The same insider however fails to address the rumors that Lana actually turned Kanye down the first time he asked her to sing, which was back at his engagement party. Also, there is no word being mentioned about the fact that Lana landed a handsome six-figure sum for her part in the wedding.
The same insider insists that guests and the bride were driven to tears by the beauty of the moment, as Lana's sensual voice echoed through the halls of the royal French palace.
E! also gives some information about the weather, claiming that “The weather was sunny for a bit and the star-studded group enjoyed the beautiful sunset prior to Lana's surprise performance. Unfortunately, the weather went downhill and it started to rain, but that didn't stop everyone from partying at all!”
The menu included hors d'ouevres that consisted of lobster sticks, caviar, and crepes. We learn that there was no formal sit-down dinner and no toasts. Among those who enjoyed celebrating with the Kardashians were Valentino, Alexander Wang, Steve McQueen, David Blaine, NeNe Leakes, Serena Williams, and Tyga.
