After the nuptials, the pair and their loved ones partied at the reception, which included a four-course meal and 7-tiered wedding cake. Kim changed into a short, cream-colored, custom Balmain dress and was also regaled by an epic 20-minute speech from her new husband.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have flown into Ireland for a short (but very sweet) secret honeymoon after their Italian wedding.
Kimye married in Florence on Saturday and reportedly arrived by private jet at Cork Airport the following day. It's believed that the couple are staying in the Presidential Suite at the Castlemartyr Resort during their stay. Very nice indeed.

The suite - which costs over £42k a night - boasts a spacious bedroom and luxury bathroom with walk-in shower, huge bath and private sauna.
According to the Irish Independent, the couple are also expected to spend at least a day in Dublin - and will tour some of Ireland's most famous tourist attractions.
The paper reported that the couple were accompanied by their personal assistants and bodyguards and are expected to remain in Ireland until Friday when they are due to fly back to the US.
Hurrah! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have finally tied the knot. After 10 years of having a crush, Kanye finally got the girl.

A rep for Kanye announced the news to US Weekly, "Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were married in a private ceremony in the presence of family and friends in Florence, Italy, today."
The last 24 hours we have been on #KimyeWedding-watch on Instagram, and so far, it's all been pretty under wraps.
The couple said their I dos in front of their closest friends and family, reportedly on a rooftop overlooking Florence.
A wall of white peonies and roses at least 20ft high, shielded prying eyes on the hilltop at the 16th century Forte di Belvedere.
Speaking moments after the ceremony to E! News,Kim Kardashian's momager Kris Jenner said she was "beyond bursting with happiness for Kim, Kanye and baby North.
"Such a magical, romantic wedding!" she added. "I feel blessed to have my new son and his family as part of ours."
It has been reported that Andrea Bocelli performed during the wedding, and the famous Italian classical singer serenaded Kim and Kanye with several songs, including Con te Partiro.
A source revealed to People that Kanye was extremely nervous, guzzling water obsessively from the bottle: "It was funny how nervous he was," an onlooker toldPeople. "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."
It has also been reported that the wedding was catered by Galateo Ricevimenti, and guests dined on traditional Tuscan cuisine before they enjoyed an impressive 7-tier cake, which was crafted by Galeto.
Celebrity guests included Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, LaLa Anthony, Lorraine Schwartz, Q-Tip, and more.
The night before, the couple enjoyed a pre-wedding celebration at the Palace of Versailles. Lana del Rey performed.
If Kim Kardashian's pre-wedding dress is anything to go by then her actual bridal gown is set to be a sight to behold.
Kim and hubby-to-be, Kanye West, were spotted heading to their wedding brunch today, while pushing 10-month-old North West in a pram.
Kris Jenner also arrived with the trio for the celebration at Chateau de Wideville - a 17th Century residence in the west of Paris, where King Louis XIV used to keep a mistress. Sounds pretty swanky.
And the couple were looking ah-mazing for the meal. Kim donned a floor-sweeping custom Valentino gown with plunging neckline and butterflies appliqued all over.

Her man also looked suitably dapper in a navy tux, which he paired with a leather shirt (natch).

Sisters Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie and Kendall followed and looked equally chic for the intimate event.
This has us even more excited for the big day. Kim and Kanye are expected to tie the knot in Florence tomorrow.
Stay tuned...
EARLIER TODAY, WE WROTE...
What does any bride do ahead of her upcoming nuptials? Have a hen do with all her gal pals, of course. Kim Kardashian embraced her Paris location as she headed out last night with a group of her closest buddies.
Rex Features
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star had a night on the tiles with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner as well as her friends from LA ahead of her marriage to Kanye West.
Rex Features
At the start of the evening, Kim, 33, received a delivery of 15 bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne at her suite at the Four Seasons Hotel George V. She then headed out on an all-girls dinner at the Hotel Costes, a source told US Weekly.
The group enjoyed some "light dishes" while sipping "mineral water and a bit of wine to drink," a member of staff revealed, adding, "They clearly had a lot to talk about - all were in a very good mood."
After dinner, the girls got into a party van and "drove around taking a tour of the Trocadero and other sights in Paris," said the magazine's source.
In true Kardashian style, Kim posted lots of pictures of the gang having fun on her Instagram, gushing about her evening.
In one group shot, Kim posted, "I'm so lucky! I have the best friends in the whole wide world! #ParisNights #LastSupper."
They stopped at landmarks around the capital, including the Louvre, posing for photographs, before ending the night with a private party inside the Eiffel Tower.
Although one question was left unanswered, where was Kim's ultimate BFF Jonathan Cheban?!
ON 21 MAY 2014, WE WROTE...
The Kardashian-Jenner clan have descended on Paris this week ahead of Kimye's big day, but there's one member who won't be making their way to the city of love any time soon.
Yup, sadly we won't be seeing The Hills star Brody Jenner looking fit in a tux, as he's staying put in the US.
Rex Features
According to sources, Brody refuses to leave girlfriend of seven-months, Kaitlynn Carter, behind, as he's not been granted a plus one for the wedding.
Brody's dad Bruce Jenner and brother Brandon and his wife Leah will be in attendance, however.
Sad to miss a dose of Brody? Don't fear - he'll be appearing on the latest series ofKeeping Up With The Kardashians on E!, which sees the family take a trip to Thailand.
Back in October, when Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian, it was reported that Kanye asked Lana Del Rey to sing during his proposal, but the 27-year-old songstress said no. Well, Mr West is obviously ok with rejection, because he askedLana to sing again - this time at their wedding.
Rex Features
The Video Games star has relented and will be singing at the Kimye wedding this Saturday.
The Mirror reports that Lana Del Rey will be flown out to Paris for event and will pocket a six-figure sum, which let's face it, is spare change when your wedding is said to be costing a mere £3million.
The paper also reports that Lana's song Young and Beautiful is one of Kim Kardashian's favourite songs.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West must be sticking out like sore thumbs in Paris. The engaged pair are currently in the city of lurve ahead of their wedding at the weekend, and amongst the sea of tourists and backpacks, Kim Kardashian is wearing the bodysuit - sans bra. Sure.
Rex Features
The 33-year-old flashed a rather daring hint of sideboob (sorry, we didn't mean to sounds so Daily Mail on you all, but look it's total sideboob) as she and her fiancé stepped out in Paris for a spot of lunch at L'Avenue.
Rex Features
We don't know what she had to eat, but we imagine it wasn't a messy affair - not with that outfit!
Showing off her curves, Kim teamed her bodysuit with a taupe-coloured suede pencil skirt. Suede on a hot day? Only Kim.
Kim completed her look by wearing her long locks tied into a loose plait, and wore natural make-up.
The retro bodysuit it totally Kim's thing right now - the bride-to-be stepped out in a white backless body yesterday. Kim Instagrammed this picture of all sides...
What' s your thoughts on the bodysuit? Practical or pretty silly? Tweet us@GlamourMagUK.
ON 16 MAY 2014, WE WROTE...
It turns out Kimye fooled us all - they WON'T be marrying in Paris like everyone thought. Instead, Entertainment Tonight are reporting that the couple will be tying the knot in Florence, Italy.
Rex Features
But the couple haven't sacked off the city of lights completely. They'll host a pre-wedding dinner in Paris and then will then fly the guests to Italy in private planes for the ceremony - which sounds like a bellissimo (and pretty expensive) plan.
And according to Us Weekly, this jaunt to Italy won't be the only unexpected detail at the couple's wedding:
"Kim and Kanye have told all guests different info," a source tells Us. "No one knows all of the details."
Yesterday Kim was spotted at LAX ready to board a flight to the French capital, with sister Khloe Kardashian in tow.
The pair were fresh from filming the final scenes of the current series of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Though sadly, it's already been confirmed that the Kimye wedding will NOT appear on the programme. Sigh.
Kim was looking très chic for her arrival in France, dressed in a simple collarless white shirt, skinny jeans, taupe heels and was clutching a black Birkin and a coordinating leather biker jacket.
After Kim and Kanye's invite was leaked by Us Weekly, we learned that the wedding is due to take place on the 24th of May, so there's nine days and counting until thewedding of the year.
That leaves plenty of time for Kim to prep and preen.
We have our eyes peeled for the arrival of Kanye, North West and the rest of the Kardashian klan.
EARLIER, WE WROTE...
Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian celebrated her upcoming wedding to Kanye West with a Paris-themed bridal shower in LA.
Rex Features
The 33-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star looked stunning in her strapless white dress at the Peninsula hotel in Beverly Hills.
Rex Features
In attendance was her mum Kris, her sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie. Important friends were there also, Brigitte Gastineau, Leah Jenner, Malika and Khadijah Haqq, Ciara and Larsa Pippen.
On Sunday, in time for Mother's Day in the US, Kim Instagrammed this cute shot of North, taken the day of her bridal shower.
Let the wedding countdown commence...
ON 8 MAY 2014, WE WROTE...
If you were expecting a truly EPIC episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians: The Kimye Wedding, you're about to be sorely disappointed. Because Kim Kardashianhas taken to Twitter to clear up all of the rumours (of which there have been many) surrounding her and Kanye's big day.
Getty Images
"Seeing so many different reports not gonna start disputing them all but a few I want to straighten out..." she began.
"1. We are not married yet!
2. We are not filming our wedding for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. You will see everything leading up til & maybe even photos. As much as we would love to share these memories, privacy is our main priority.
3. No guest list has been released. Seeing fake ones. Especially not 1600 people invited like I just read. Its VERY small & intimate
4. Seeing fake wedding dress pics of me. No one has seen my dress! Those photos are old or photo shopped.
That's its! Unless you hear it from us please don't believe nonsense!"
Well, that told us. Well at least the Kimye fans can rest easy that the pair won't be TOTALLY private - it sounds like there will still be wedding photos to pore over after the event.
ON WEDNESDAY 30 APRIL 2014 WE WROTE...
It has been reported that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning to marry THIS week in a secret ceremony.
Yep, this week. We haven't even brought our dress yet, they can't spring this news on us so suddenly.
Getty Images
According to TMZ.com, Kimye already have a marriage license and plan to tie the knot before the week is out. The pair are reportedly still going ahead with their Paris plans - but that sounds more of a celeb bash than a wedding.
Rex Features/PA Photos
It's reported that the couple got their hands on a "confidential" license to keep it all on the down low so they can get married in the privacy of their own home, instead of going to a Southern California courthouse to get hitched.
Sorry, but, small? Private? Down low? Are you sure we're talking about the same couple?
Remember when James Franco and Seth Rogen re-enacted the Kimye Bound 2video? Watching a topless Seth straddling James on a motorbike will forever be one of our fave parodies.
We know that Kim Kardashian loved it - she said so on Twitter, but we weren't sure if Kanye West liked it - he's not exactly known for his sense of humour, now, is he?
But hold up! Perhaps Kanye West is funnier than we thought - according to James Franco, Kanye loved it so much that he has asked the actor to perform it at his wedding to Kim Kardashian.
Speaking on The View, James said: "Kim loved the video and we didn't hear back from Kanye so we kind of felt like he's not bashing us, but he probably hates it but he's not going to say anything."
He then added that Kanye finally got in contact two weeks ago.
"But then two weeks ago, we got a call from Kanye. Seth and I were on the phone. We thought he was just going to let us have it. But he loved it. And I'm pretty sure I can say it now because I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. He wanted us to perform it live the night before his wedding at Versailles."
But James thought it would be a bit flat with the rest of the Kardashian ladies - "I think it would have been awesome for about 10 seconds, but then there would be Seth with his shirt off in front of all the Kardashians," James joked.
Ah man, DO IT, GUYS!
ON 17 APRIL 2014, WE WROTE...
There's been no confirmation on this, but Kim Kardashian and her recent Instagram pictures have fuelled speculation that her wedding dress is going to be Balmain.
Getty Images
The reality TV star has never been one for subtlety, so her heavy featuring of Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing on social media has raised a few eyebrows about the reason behind them.
In the shots the pair are seen posing together with Kim wearing one of his designs.
Kim has also been spotted wearing Balmain as she wanders round Paris with Kanye West.
The house of Balmain, which Olivier joined in 2009, is known for its super high-end ornate styling and luxe decadence. Sounds like the perfect choice for a Kardashian wedding.
ON 15 APRIL 2014, WE WROTE...
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arrived in Paris over the weekend to continue their wedding day preparation.
While most brides-to-be are getting stressed out at this point, Kim Kardashianlooked happy with her fella Kanye West, and they enjoyed lunch at Chez Ferdi followed by a trip to the shops.
Getty Images
That's right - while the couple may be in France to continue planning their wedding, they also found time for a shopping spree. Kanye was seen leaving the Balmain store clutching loads of bags. Kim reportedly splurged at Givenchy, Balmain, and Lanvin while in the French capital.
Expected to be a multiday event, Kimye's upcoming wedding has been in the works for months. The ceremony will likely include a line-up of famous faces, with the latest rumours suggesting Beyoncé and Jay Z WILL be attending.
The loved-up pair toured the Château de Louveciennes during the trip, potentially scouting the venue as a possible wedding location.
ON 10 APRIL 2014, WE WROTE...
Sad news for Kanye West as it's been alleged that Jay-Z has turned down his offer to be best man at the rapper's wedding to Kim Kardashian.
Getty Images
Apparently Kanye asked his buddy Jay-Z to be his best man but he reportedly turned the offer down as he didn't want to be associated with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
It's believed that Kim and Kanye's wedding will appear on the show, which makes it less surprising that Jay-Z might not want to be involved, as he is notoriously private.
According to Life & Style, a source told them, "Of course, Kanye asked Jay to be his best man at the wedding. But Jay politely declined the request," the insider revealed. "Jay just didn't want to be associated with the Kardashian reality show. Kanye told Jay he understands why he would decline, but he's still very hurt."
The eagerly anticipated wedding is believed to be happening in May but the couple have remained quite tight-lipped about the details.
Earlier in the year Kim revealed it is going to take place in Paris (but not in the Palais of Versaille, much to our disappointment) and it is going to be a fairly small affair.
We can't wait for all the pictures!
ON THURSDAY 6 FEBRUARY, WE WROTE...
Mark Saturday, May 24 in your diaries, Kimye fans - that's when the dynamic duo are set to tie the knot!
Rex Features
Us Weekly has confirmed the couple's wedding date will be at the end of May in Paris, just seven months after they got engaged. What's more, the pair will fly guests out to their French wedding a few days before so they can make the most of their time in the City of Lights.
A source also told the tabloid that West is planning the whole event, from Kim's wardrobe down to the guest list. And what'll Kim wear? Only one dress, apparently, and it will be one that will show off her curves. North will have a role in the wedding, too.
The bride-to-be recently opened up about the wedding to Keeping Up With the Kardashians producer Ryan Seacrest on his radio show, and suggested that it will be a "smaller and more intimate" affair than originally anticipated. But Kanye was being a bit of a control freak about the whole thing, with the seating chart "like death". Sounds intense.
ON WEDNESDAY 26 FEBRUARY WE WROTE...
Kim Kardashian has revealed that actually, she's NOT going to have a lavish wedding to Kanye West- instead it's going to be a super small intimate affair.
Getty Images
While we reckon that "small and intimate" by Kimye standards just means "not at Versailles", it's still a surprising revelation from the most high maintenance couple in showbiz. Kim had laser surgery on her boobs because of stretch marks, for Pete's sake!
Speaking to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM show, Kim revealed that the couple had both decided to pare everything back, because "As we are going along, we realize we want it to be smaller and more intimate than people are imagining and thinking."
We know how you feel Kim - the vodka luge, 12-tier cake and magician might SEEM like a good idea for your big day, but when you look at budgets, not so much.
She also revealed that planning the wedding was pretty intense - mainly because of their A-list guest list: "The seating chart is like death", she revealed. We bet - can you imagine knowing who to sit Bey and Jay Z next to? Or Harry Styles? And then there's the mother-in-law drama-rama that is Kris Jenner. Phew!
She also confirmed that the wedding IS in Paris and it IS this year, but she won't reveal when.
And after the wedding? She wants MORE babies!
"I want to have more, but I'm not going the route my mom did. She is crazy," she said of her Mum Kris Jenner (who has six).
"I don't think I can do more than three - tops...That would be my absolute top, top, tops. I even contemplate, should North be an only child? but then I contemplate all the ... fun experiences I had, so I might have to tough it out."
We're sure Baby North would love a sister or brother Kim, but focus on enjoying the wedding first!
ON SATURDAY 15 FEBRUARY, WE WROTE...
We knew Kanye West would go big with his Valentine's Day gift - that's just the sort of guy he is.
And we were right, Kim Kardashian has posted a picture of what her fiancée brought her, and it required a fair few vases.
The picture, which she captioned "a thousand roses", shows Kim Kardashian lying on a white sofa, legs up in the air and surrounded by red roses. It's basically a picture of someone loving life right now.
But it wasn't a night of sexy time - Kanye was performing his Yeezus tour in Baltimore. But don't worry, Kim was there to watch her true love up on stage.
And don't worry, they got to spend some quality time together en route to the stage...
NOW SEE WHAT KIM'S SISTER KHLOE GOT FOR VALENTINE'S DAY
ON 6 FEBRUARY 2014, WE WROTE...
It was reported that Kim Kardashian would be fulfilling her dream of being a June bride, but now it appears the star has moved her upcoming nuptials with Kanye West to May 2014.
Rex Features
Reports say that the couple have moved their wedding forward a month and plan to stretch out their big day.
A source told Us Weekly Kim and Kanye will have "lots of events leading up to the big day" for their wedding guests.
This fits with the previous belief that the wedding is going to be similar to a festival with lots of little celebrations leading up to the wedding.
As for eight-month-old daughter North West, another source tells Us Weekly that she "will have a large role in the wedding."
The rumour mill has been in overdrive since the couple announced their engagement. However Kim has given little away.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star told Jimmy Kimmel on his show that she will definitely be getting married in Paris,
"I'm not telling where or the date, but I think it's kind of obvious it's in Paris."
"It's our second home," she added. "We spend so much time there, we have an apartment there. We really love it."
We're still sad that the wedding will not be held at the Palace of Versailles.
ON 28 JANUARY, WE WROTE...
Kanye West may have snubbed Keeping Up With The Kardashian's in the past, but it seems the rapper has changed his mind by agreeing to wed on television.
Getty Images
According to reports on RadarOnline the rapper will marry Kim Kardashian on the show in June, having been persuaded by Kim as E! will pay for most of the expenses.
It has already been confirmed that the couple will marry in Paris, not Versailles, this summer, but now they are allegedly saying their vows on the big screen.
"Kim has always wanted to be a June bride and she is finally going to get her wish," a source told Radar.
"Kim and Kanye have narrowed down the wedding location, which is being kept a secret at this point. It will be on the outskirts of Paris," the pesky source added.
It won't be the first time Kim has wed on TV, back in 2011, the star wed Kris Humphries for a four-hour special on KUWTK, for which the former couple were reportedly paid $15 million.
"Even though Kim's marriage to Kris was a disaster, she was very happy with how the wedding and reception turned out," the source said.
"Both Kim and Kanye have very high expectations for their wedding. It will be an over-the-top affair and there will be pre-wedding festivities leading up to the big day for their guests. It'll be like a festival."
The pair got engaged last year with an extravagant gesture from Kanye at the AT&T Park in San Francisco with a 15 carat diamond ring.
If the wedding's anything like the proposal, and with Kimye involved we're sure it will be, we'll be expecting big things.
ON 24 JANUARY, WE WROTE...
She may not be getting married in Versailles, but Kim Kardashian IS getting married abroad.
PacificCoastNews.com
The reality star appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, telling the talk show host that they are planning to get married in the world's most romantic city, and that she'll takeKanye West's name.
"I'll probably be Kim Kardashian West and change Kardashian to my middle name. We will be getting married, this summer hopefully, in Paris."
The reason for the Parisian nuptials? Kimye adore the city:
"It's our second home. We spend so much time there, we have an apartment there. I'm not telling where or the date, but it's definitely Paris."
She also quashed those Versailles rumours herself, saying they visited Paris because Kanye wanted "just to have three days to ourselves without your family" (LOLZ):
"We took a tour because we've never been there before. We were just having a private tour."
As for wedding planning, it turns out Kanye will be a bit of a groomzilla - he's "very specific" about wedding plans and "will take care of the music", whilst Kim will be in charge of "the seating chart".
Kim wore a pink crop top and skirt on the talk show - but it was actually a bit of a DIY effort - she cut a Dior frock into two!
ON WEDNESDAY 22 JANUARY, WE WROTE...
Those Kimye/Versailles wedding rumours have FINALLY been put to bed.
We imagine what a Kimye/Paris wedding will look likeRex Features/PA Photos
Despite every celeb news outlet under the sun claiming the couple were definitely scoping out the Palace for their wedding when they were spotted walking around the site between trips to Paris Couture Week, sadly a Marie Antoinette-themed wedding is not on the cards for the duo.
The official Twitter account for Versailles confirmed that Kimye are "not planning their wedding at the Palace" (presumably so people would STOP CALLING THEM about impending nuptuals).
So there you have it, straight from the palace's mouth. On to the next rumoured venue - Buckingham Palace, perhaps?
ON MONDAY 23 JANUARY, WE WROTE...
With their wedding expected this summer, the rumour mill has been in Kimye nuptials overdrive - and the latest batch of rumours around their impending W-day have made it sound EVEN MORE epic than Kim Kardashian's ill-fated marriage to Kris Humphries.
Firstly, there were the Versailles wedding venue rumours - which, although the couple dismissed themselves, have been kick-started again by pictures of them snapped visiting the site whilst Kanye was at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Kim also shared a photo on Instagram of her visit to the historic palace.
Kimye in VersaillesRex Features
But there's also been talk of her asking someone very special to walk her down the aisle. No, not Bruce Jenner and his impressive ponytail (although he will probably give Kim away), but little Baby North.
A source told Hollywood Life that North, who will be one and hopefully able to walk by the time Kimye tie the knot, will have a special pair of diamond shoes created for the occasion by celeb jewellery designer Lorraine Schwartz:
"They want her to create North a pair of one of a kind, diamond shoes, so she can walk her mother down the aisle when Kanye asks for her hand in marriage" the source said, before adding:
"Kanye wants Nori to be symbolic in the wedding because she's the product of the ultimate love he and Kim share for one another."
If Kim DOES decide to tie the knot in Paris, it will be an interesting move considering she told Ellen she wanted to wed "in the country" but close to home when she appeared on her talk show last week. But does a French wedding mean her dress will come courtesy of Gallic fashion house Givenchy, whose head designer Riccardo Tisci is a close personal friend of Kim's? We'll have to wait and see.
ON WEDNESDAY 1 JANUARY, WE WROTE...
Finally, a good look at Kim Kardashian's gorgeous engagement ring, and for added cuteness, baby North West is clutching it in her adorable little hand!
This new photo - posted by Kim Kardashian on her Instagram account - shows off the stunning 15-carat sparkler. "It was an amazing year!!!" she wrote alongside the snapshot.
Kimye are currently seeing in 2014 in Utah, skiing with Kim's sister Kourtney and her partner Scott Disick.
For those of you who aren't 100% convinced with the Kimye love story, just watch this video a fan made, and that Kim Kardashian tweeted about.
We guarantee, you'll be converted...
ON 6 DECEMBER 2013, WE WROTE...
Those hoping for a Kimye wedding at the Palace of Versailles (we'll admit it, we kind of wanted this MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD because of the potential amazingness of the ensuing Kardashian episode) are about to be seriously disappointed.
Getty Images
Turns out the rumour was in fact, no more than a rumour - so we won't see Kanye bellowing "Let them eat cake" whilst Kim adjusts her pompadour wig for a guillotine-themed selfie.
Kim's rep told E! News that the couple are in no way saying "I do" at the former home of Marie Antoinette, calling the rumours "absolutely false".
In fact, according to the rep, the couple haven't decided on anything for their impending nuptials - not the date, the location, or, in true Hollywood style, they wedding planner.
So we may speculate no more. But one thing's for certain - given that Kanye enlisted a 50-piece orchestra and a Jumbotron to propose, the wedding will be completely OTT, and the wedding speech (given Kanye's recent radio outbursts) will result in some hilarious quotes.
In other Kardashian news, Kim shared an adorable pic of baby North at Art Basel Miami - here she is cosying up in her car seat next to artist Jeff Koons.
ON THURSDAY 5 DECEMBER 2013, WE WROTE...
He recently said his daughter North is just as royal as Prince George, and now it seems Kanye West might be planning a regal wedding of his own.
Kim and Kanye were looking particularly bridal at an event last nightGetty Images
The singer has locked his sights on the Palace of Versailles for his upcoming nuptials with Kim Kardashian, according to US Weekly.
"Kanye has never been married and wants a big [wedding]," a source told the magazine. "They are not working with a budget."
Getty Images
The news doesn't come as much of a surprise as the duo have previously expressed their love of France and are known for their extravagant displays of affection.
However it seems a far cry from Kris Jenner's previous claims that the pair will have a "small and private" ceremony.
Kim and Kanye have been dating since April 2012 and got engaged when Kanye proposed in October.
Lana Del Rey WAS supposed to perform when Kanye West popped the question toKim Kardashian in San Francisco a few weeks ago. But the star turned down the invitation.
Rex Features
"Lana politely declined, and didn't give any reason for not being able to perform," a source told Radar Online. "It was a very firm no from Lana and her camp. Kanye did try to push it, but didn't get anywhere.
"Kanye decided to hire an orchestra to perform the song for Kim, and he was much happier with how it turned out."
"Kim was bummed that Lana didn't perform for the big event, but she is still a huge fan. She just loved that Kanye tried to make it happen," another insider claimed. "Kim is jokingly saying Lana will want to perform at their wedding."
In other dramatic KimYe engagement news, the couple are suing the founder of YouTube for leaking their proposal video (yes, that super blurry, barely visible 2-and-a-half-minute clip that was posted on his new website MixBit shortly after the event).
Mr & Mrs West in monochrome. Standard.Rex Features
According to TMZ, the couple have filed a lawsuit against Chad Hurley, claiming that he "violated a confidentiality agreement" by publishing the media.
Apparently, Hurley wasn't even invited to the proposal but was allowed to stay and watch under the condition that he didn't post any pictures or videos of it anywhere.
The lawsuit states: "Exclusive rights, such as those sold by plaintiffs to publication of video of the event, are particularly valuable. If people violate these rights... They are of substantially diminished value."
"Hurley proceeded to try to turn the event into one starring himself, broadcasting the images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else," it goes on to detail.
However, West did allow cameras from E! Entertainment to film the event, which could mean we get to watch it in full on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians in the future.
The star opened up about her dramatic 50lb weightloss, spoke about her super-sweet baby daughter North West and regaled the audience on Jay Leno with the full story of how the rapper popped the question to her in the middle of a baseball stadium last week.
Showing off her toned post-baby body in a sheer, white lace dress with her black underwear clearly on display, Kim revealed exactly how she'd got back to her pre-baby weight.
"Actually, I got on the scale today and it said that I am 50lbs down. That made me so excited," she told the chat show host, before confirming her slim physique was down to hard exercise and the Atkins diet.
"It worked for me," she said.
However, she did admit to struggling with the sudden weight gain she experienced when she was pregnant with North West.
"I can honestly say it was the greatest challenge of my life," she said, describing the criticism on her appearance she faced during pregnancy as "ridiculous".
"It really hurt my soul. It changed how I am in public. I've tried to live more of a private life."
Especially as her somewhat swollen appearance was down to a life-threatening pre-natal condition, preeclampsia, which led to North being born five weeks prematurely.
"That was a cause for a lot of the swelling and at the time I didn't know what was going on."
But her troubles are well behind her, and Kim is enjoying a particularly happy moment in her life after Kanye surprised her by getting down on one knee on her 33rd birthday.
"I'm very happy right now," she said. "[The proposal] was the most magical night of my life.
"I thought we were just going to dinner for my birthday. He just told me to close my eyes... He covered my eyes.
"I thought I was going to fall and he was totally helping me [out of the car]. It's so his personality to do something wild for my birthday.
"My favourite Lana song started playing, Lana Del Rey Young And Beautiful. And I was like, 'Oh my God, he got Lana to play for me on my birthday.'
"I thought that was my birthday surprise. And she doesn't get out and he goes down on his knee. And I was shaking the entire time.
"The big scoreboard said, 'Please marry me'. I said, 'Yes'.'
"The whole family thought they were there for my surprise party, and I thought they were in Arizona. He told them a surprise party, I need you guys there. The look on their faces - I turn around and see them balling."
And on the wedding itself?
"I want [Kanye] to have whatever he wants," she said, before hinting that the venue could be "some place Parisian".
As for when we can expect the nuptials, the star revealed that the couple are "hoping for next summer" but "haven't had time to sit down and talk about it" yet.
She also spoke about baby North West, calling her "the sweetest little girl" and claiming that "she never cries".
"She's a perfect little angel. I hope she grows up to be smart and opinionated like her dad," she told Leno.
And on the subject of her mother's recent split from Bruce Jenner:
"They are [separated]," she confirmed. "And it is for the better, and the best way."
"I think they are better living in two separate homes. They get along better. I'd rather them live together and be happy. They are better friends now."
Kim went on to add that she would still be asking Bruce to walk her down the aisle, answering "of course" when Leno raised the question live on air.
"Our family I would say is the biggest most happiest, dysfunctional family."
ON 30 OCTOBER 2013, WE WROTE...
Kanye West has opened up about his romance with fiancée Kim Kardashian, revealing that he actually fell for her nearly seven years ago.
Speaking to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Tuesday, West said: "I just knew I wanted her to be my girl for a long time... 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?'"
The couple soon established a firm friendship, despite maintaining high profile relationships with other people.
During the interview, the Yeesuz hitmaker also confirmed that his baby mumma will take his surname, which Kardashian later confirmed would officially move her famous surname to her middle name making her Kim Kardashian West.

The rapper also opened up about his elaborate proposal to the reality TV star, which saw him hire a baseball stadium in San Francisco.
He said: "The ring was four-hours-old from when I put it on her finger… I had to pick it up in LA. I was working on it for a while. I was working on it with four different jewelers. I just put it in my bag."
He added: "I was nervous. I was talking to her cousin… I was like, 'I don't know, what do you think she's going to say?' I'm not arrogant about love and feelings at all. I'm confident in the work I put so much work in to but this is someone else's feelings… You never know what someone else may feel at the time."
Aaw. Anyone else beginning to think Kanye might actually be a massive cutie?
It must be love, because Kim Kardashian is considering dropping the last name that made her millions to be with Mr West.
The reality TV star has revealed that she'll be taking on Kanye's almighty last moniker when the pair tie the knot.
However, fans fear not - she won't be shedding her famous heritage completely.
"Yeah, I will," she told E! News when asked. "It'll be Kim Kardashian West."
"You really have a sense of family especially with us having our daughter and our relationship has been best friends and we've known each other for so long that our relationship has always been amazing," she said.
"But I think it's gotten so much better after we had our daughter and just since we've been together for almost two years now."
Also. Newsflash. Kanye = Bridezilla.
"We honestly haven't had a moment to talk about it or even breathe, so we haven't really talked about it, but whatever he wants," Kim told People magazine recently.
"Because if she leaves your ass, she gonna leave with half."
Or so the Kanye West lyrics go. But it seems KimYe, who are pretty equally matched pound-for-pound, have already agreed to separate their assets before they tie the knot.
According to TMZ, the couple are drawing up a prenup ahead of their big day. The report then, rather confusingly, goes on to explain that they are reluctant to sign it, as they are "worried the relationship might fall apart".
However, Kim apparently understands the need for clear contracts when it comes to financial matters, because she had it drilled into her by her late father, Robert Kardashian, who was an attorney.
TMZ goes on to claim that the pair will still have a big joint account for living expenses. Which we're sure will include necessities like antique fish tanks and marble conference tables.
With Kim's wealth at an estimated $40million and Kanye's at an eye-watering $90million, we think they'll probably get by whether they sign one or not.
And thus, the KimYe mega-love-in continued. This time, with Kanye West referring to his bride-to-be live on stage in San Jose as "my fiancée".
While he was introducing his track Bound 2, the 36-year-old rapper publically confirmed his engagement for the first time, according to People.
"If you came with somebody that you love tonight, hold on so tight," he said. "What I'm trying to say is it's hard to find you."
He went on to suggest that Kim had given him a new lease of life after his mother Donda passed away in 2007.
"I felt like everything was spiraling and falling and I was questioning my faith," he told the crowd.
"Life, sometimes I'm feeling like I had a second chance in life. 'Cause I remember in my career early on when I could have lost my life."
Meanwhile, video footage has emerged of the grand engagement that took place at the AT & T baseball park in San Franscisco earlier this week. To be honest? It literally could be anyone. It's not clear what's going on here. And Kimye are but blue smears surrounded by green. But you get the general idea:
Tissues at the ready: Kim Kardashian has opened up about Kanye West's big stadium proposal for the first time.
It's a whopper: Kim flashes her HUGE rock, confirming her engagement to KanyeInstagram
The reality TV star confirmed that she is engaged to the rapper when she flashed a photographer a look at her huge 15-carat diamond ring yesterday.
Speaking to E!, Kim apparently said: "Last night was truly magical!!! I am the luckiest girl in the world! I get to marry my best friend!"
We're not sure where they got the triple exclamation marks from either, but I think we get the idea: she was very excited.
The star was seen for the first time since the announcement, as she left a hotel in San Francisco with her mother, Kris Jenner.
Showing off her post-baby figure, the star wore a high-waist pencil skirt, a lace camisole and a large (we hope faux) fur coat.
But it seems not everyone was happy with the big revelation. Kim's ex-father-in-law, William Humphries, predicted the union could be as short-lived as his son's was.
"Does a leopard really change its spots? I don't think so," he told The Daily News. "Not much changes. It's just different actors this time around."
Kim Kardashian has given us a flash of her MAMMOTH engagement ring, confirming that she is indeed set to wed Kanye West.
The star held up her huge, 15-carat diamond whopper for a photo shortly after Kanye popped the question at a baseball stadium in San Fransisco last night (get all the details of exactly how the extravagant rapper did that below. Trust us, it is suitably Kanye).
The ring was designed by celebrity jeweller Lorraine Schwart, who just so happens to be the same person who designed her recently auctioned engagement ring from her previous marriage to Kris Humphries.
Humphries sold the rock - which was marginally bigger than Kanye's at 16.21 carats, was auctioned at Christies in New York for an eye-watering $620,000, meaning the mystery buyer paid $749,000 after adding the buyer's premium.
The price surprised many, as the ring was reportedly worth $2million.
Speaking about the sale of the rock to Us Weekly, a source revealed: "Kim has been waiting for the day he would auction it… Everyone always asked what Kim did with the ring - she silently gave it back over a year ago! And Kris waited until the divorce was final to sell it… The ring is definitely not worth $2 million, not even half of that."
Kardashian and Humphries married in August 2011 before the reality TV star filed for divorce after just 72 days, with the former couple only finalising their split in May of this year.
AT 8.00AM, WE WROTE...
THE CLUE IS IN THE SOURCE, PEOPLE.
That's E! Online, in case you're wondering. And it's the E! network that producesKeeping Up With The Kardashians. So we're guessing rumours that Kanye Westproposed to Kim Kardashian on her 33rd birthday yesterday are true.
Could it be? Are Kimye finally getting hitched? Looks likely...PA Photos
West popped the question at the AT & T Park in San Francisco last night.
The rapper rented out the entire baseball stadium especially for the occasion.
The venue, if you're wondering, just so happens to be near to San Jose, where Kanye continues the next leg of his Yeezus Tour this week.
Kim and the Kardashian family were seen boarding a private jet that afternoon in Los Angeles. The klan were then seen clambering out of large vehicles and filing into the stadium for the big revelation.
Kanye popped the question shortly after serenading Kim Kardashian with a 50 piece orchestra. The band played Lana Del Rey's Young & Beautiful, followed by, as standard, a Kanye West song, Knock You Down.
Kris Jenner shared a photo with E! that showed Kanye spelling out the words "PLEEESE MARRY MEEE!!!" on a giant scoreboard (yes, he did spell 'please' wrong).
Kanye gave Kim a 15 carat diamond ring, before fireworks exploded in the sky. Her family then ran out of the dugouts and surprised the couple.
Khloe Kardashian tweeted:
The couple have been "official" since April 2012. They welcomed their first child, baby North West, in June 2013.
Earlier the same day, Kanye was at the Hollywood Film Awards, where he presented director Steve McQueen with a special prize.
Kris Jenner opened up about her daughter Kim's plans to marry Kanye West way back in June. The 57-year-old "momager" said that if Kim and Kanye get married, it would be a small and "private" occasion, unlike her televised wedding to Kris Humphries in 2011.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Jenner said: "This time it will be private and smaller, if she does get married again - not 500 people."
Meanwhile, the Kardashian matriarch also took to her personal website yesterday to send Kim a gushing birthday message, which called her daughter "one of the true lights in my life."
However, it wasn't just Kris who made a fuss of Kim Kardashian on her 33rd birthday, as the rest of her family members also came forward to wish the reality TV star a happy birthday over social media.
In, arguably, the most touching messages to be sent to the birthday girl was an open letter from Kim's sister, Khloe who wrote: "My real life Princess Jasmine!!! You truly are a princess to me! So perfect, so strong, so sweet…. Thank God I have you as my sister! With every year I am more and more grateful for our bond. The woman and mommy you have become is inspirational.
She added: "Thank you for being such an amazing sister and friend! I love you Keeks!!! More and more with everyday! May this year continue to be filled with blessings for you! KoKo loves KiKi!!!!!!!!"
However, Kim's youngest sisters Kendall and Kyle also posted birthday messages to the star with the eldest Jenner sister posting a montage of photos of the pair on Instagram alongside the caption: "Wishing my big sister a very happy birthday today! I hope you have a great day Kimmie! I love you with all my ❤❤"
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner posted: "Happy birthday to my big sis & my best friend @kimkardashian thank u for always being right by my side when I need you. I love you ❤❤"

There will be no shortage of family drama in season 10 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The first look trailer released Monday for the upcoming season of the highly-popular E! series features plenty of fights, sex, romance and even infringement claims for reality television's favourite family. In one of the more tense moments in the clip, Kim Kardashian appears to lash out at younger sister Kendall Jenner, who has a fast growing modelling career.
The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity. Of course, in the movie, their character's are close; it follows the story of a manipulative young woman named Nicola Six (Heard) who strings along three men including a writer named Samson Young (Thornton) in a bid to bring about her own murder.
