It's official—Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are married! The rapper's rep confirmed the news to Us Weekly shortly after the ceremony, saying, "Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were married in a private ceremony in the presence of family and friends in Florence, Italy, today."
As expected, the couple of two years tied the knot on Saturday, May 24, in Florence, Italy, at the 16th-century Forte di Belvedere in front of their closest family members and friends, including Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, LaLa Anthony, Lorraine Schwartz, Q-Tip, and more.

The fashionable couple's ceremony was only part of the extravagant memorable weekend. After a couple of days of merriment in and around Paris, on Friday, May 23, the couple treated their guests to a brunch at designer Valentino's castle and then held a lavish party at the Palace of Versailles.

Kardashian and West, who are parents to 11-month-old North West, are set to attend a friend's wedding next and will later embark on their honeymoon sans North, a source tells Us.
The couple got engaged in an equally lavish way. West proposed to the reality star with an enormous Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring on the eve of her 33rd birthday, surprising her on October 21 in front of family and friends at AT&T Park in San Francisco. West projected onto the stadium screen: "Pleeease Marry Meee!!!"

The couple were good friends prior to first stepping out together in 2012. West revealed in an interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest in October 2013, he's always had a fascination with the reality star.
"I just knew I wanted her to be my girl for a long time," West admitted. "I remember I saw a picture of her and Paris Hilton … and I remember telling my boy … 'Have you seen that girl, Kim Kar-dijon?'"

Kardashian herself, however, didn't think of their relationship romantically at first.
She admitted: "I think you never know what it’ll really end up being like until you try and have a relationship and two years ago we tried and we realized it really does work. But [in the beginning], I was looking at it in such a friend way for so long and he was there to support me and be that friend to really talk about every experience I was going through, so it breaks my heart to look at it now and think I must have been killing him inside when he felt a certain way!"

This is the first marriage for West. Kardashian previously married music producer Damon Thomas in 2000 and Kris Humphries in 2011, whom she filed for divorce from only 72 days later.

  As detailed by Vogue's Andre Leon Talley, guests did not know where they were headed following the couple's pre-wedding brunch at Valentino's home. "You couldn’t call it a rehearsal dinner—it called for black tie and starts at 7:00 p.m. Destination unknown to every guest, who gets his own personal security and chauffeur," Talley wrote of the extravagant event.

The Sharon Sacks planned fete was so exquisite "Kanye West and Kim Kardashian will become legend," Talley, who is a guest of the couple this weekend, wrote.
The stunning event ended in "lavish fireworks near midnight." Kimye, as well as their family members, then retreated to the Four Seasons Hotel George V, an eyewitness tells Us Weekly, where Khloe "walked in with her shoes off."

Kylie and Jaden Smith were also spotted post Versailles heading back to George V. The 16-year-old was "dressed down" in "motorcycle boots and a leather jacket" and "was eating out of a medium tub of Haagen-Dazs ice cream."
Kourtney and beau Scott Disick opted to head for the hotel bar after the event, where Kourtney also ditched her heels.
Attendees are later set to jet off to Florence, Italy, for the couples nuptials. "Private planes are at the ready for some destination in Italy tomorrow," Talley concluded in his recap.

Beyonce Wishes Kim Kardashian & Kanye West “Lifetime of Unconditional Love”

Beyonce wished Kim Kardashian and Kanye West well on their wedding day, even though she and Jay Z were not in attendance.
As Gossip Cop reported, the singer posted a casual no-makeup selfie just as Kardashian and West walked down the aisle on Saturday, leading to speculation among some outlets that Beyonce was dissing the newlyweds.
Not the case.
“Wishing you a lifetime of unconditional love,” wrote Beyonce on Instagram, accompanied by a picture of the couple and their daughter North (see below). “God bless your beautiful family.”
But while there may not be drama between Beyonce and Kardashian, something went amiss with the bride’s brother Rob, who bailed on the nuptials at the last minute.

Did Beyoncé and Jay Z Skip Kimye’s Wedding? Beyoncé Selfié Tells It All

IFWT_2
Is Beyoncé’s Instagram post a way of letting everyone know that she did not attend Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s wedding? Around the time that Kim and Kanye stood infront the altar, Beyoncé uploaded a photo of her new hairstyle to her Instagram account.

Even if the photo was taken earlier in the day or at another time, if Beyonce were in attendance of Kimye wedding, wouldn’t she be watching the couple exchange their vows? Well, also keep in mind that Beyonce and Jay Z did not attend Kim and Kanye’s rehersal dinner at the Palace of Versailles on Friday, May 23. Coincidence? I think not. Sources told Us Weekly Magazine that the two decided to head to the Hamptons during the Memorial Day Weekend holiday. Although there is speculation behind their absence, the exact reason of why they were not in attendance to the wedding is still unknown.
