Following the most pomp and circumstance of any celebrity
wedding in recent memory, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have finally said 'I
do.'
People broke the news we've all been waiting for,
confirming reports that the pair tied the knot in Florence , Italy
early Saturday evening.
And even though Kim's dress has yet to introduce itself
to the internet, the weddings details are finally coming to light.
Rich Wilkerson Jr., a pastor from North Miami , officiated the ceremony attended
by 200 guests. Originally thought to happen in Versailles , Kimye jetted out away from the
city of light on Saturday morning following their rehearsal dinner and week-long
Parisian pre-wedding celebration.
The couple and their wedding party, all of whom were
flown privately from France
to Italy , were spotted
arriving in Florence
before heading to their respective hotels, with Kardashian and her close family
staying at Villa San Michele and other guests checking in at the Westin
Excelsior.
And albeit a little on the grainy side, here's what many
are saying is the first photo of the wedding party courtesy of Twitter.
It's been said that the couple decided on the Italian
city because it's the place where North
West was conceived.
The Fort di Belvedere, the historic fort where the
nuptials took place, is an imposing fortress dating back to the 16th century
that originally protected the Italian city and its Renaissance palace from
attackers. Following years of renovations, the fort was reopened to the public
in 2013 and is known is known for its sweeping panoramas.
Kanye was allegedly a nervous moments before the
ceremony, swigging obsessively from a bottle of water and shifting his weight
from one foot to the other.
"It was
funny how nervous he was," an onlooker told People. "He clearly knew
the gravity of what he was about to do. This morning he was all smiles, but as
it got closer, you could see that the nerves were kicking in. It's common for
most grooms. I've seen it all before."
West, 36, and Kardashian began dating in 2012, welcomed
their daughter last June and were engaged on Kim's 33rd birthday this past
October in an elaborate proposal at San Francisco 's
AT&T Park .
This is West's first marriage and Kardashian's third. Our
congratulations go out to the happy couple!
