Kimberly Noel "Kim" Kardashian is an American television and social media personality, fashion designer, model, and actress.

“I Can’t imagine life without Kanye West” Kardashian

Socialite Kim Kardashian says she is delighted  she has got a friend in her lover Kanye West, and admits it is quite hard for her to imagine dating anyone other than him.

Reportedly it took the rapper nine years to finally win the woman of his dreams, but it was in March 2012 when they appeared together at Paris Fashion Week together that they were officially an item. Kardashian told Oprah Winfrey during a 2012 interview that she didn't know what took them so long.

"I think we've always had an attraction for each other, but we've always been in either other relationships or it just wasn't the right timing," she said. "One day, I don't know, it just happened. It kind of like took me by surprise even."

In December 2012, Kardashian announced via her blog that she was pregnant with West's child.

"It's true," Kardashian wrote. "Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us."

She gave birth to her daughter in June 2013 and Kardashian praised West's parenting skills during an interview with talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres after the rapper proposed to her.

"He is honestly the most amazing dad," Kardashian said. "He just loves me so much."

"Family time -- it's what Kim gave me," he told the BBC in September 2013. "She gives me everything. She gives me a family. She gives me  support"

West clearly appreciates the family that they have now made legally official.

  

 “We will be getting married this summer hopefully in Paris, we love it there,” Kim said. “When I said hopefully I didn’t mean hopefully getting married, I just meant hopefully this summer.”

"It's so nice to have a best friend in this game who understands everything you're going through. Being with someone I've known for so many years is comforting," showbizspy.com quoted Kardashian as saying. "He's been there through so many different stages of my life and before I was famous, so this relationship is a different thing entirely. It's good to be aware that he definitely doesn't want anything from me too, because he understands the business. "I can't even think about being with anyone else than the man I'm with," added the 34-year-old actress.

In Italy, the Florence mayor's office says the pair will wed and host a reception at a fort there Saturday. They rented the 16th-century Belvedere Fort, located next to Florence's famed Boboli Gardens, for 300,000 euros ($410,000) and a Protestant minister will preside over the ceremony, a spokeswoman said.

According to Usmagazine Beginning Friday, May 23, guests start arriving and are expected to check-in to the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris. "At exactly 3 P.M. attendees will get a text saying what's happening the rest of the weekend," a source. Later this evening, guests will get a "surprise tour" of the Palace of Versailles, Catherine Pegard, president of the chateau. As for how the lucky 120 or so guests will return home, sources say they don't need to fret. "Everything's been taken care of, the wedding planners are very hands-on."

 They can confirm that Beyonce's husband will be among the guests at West and Kardashian's international wedding extravaganza this weekend, which includes a rehearsal dinner in Paris, France, and a formal ceremony in Florence, Italy, among other events. (Beyonce herself is still just a "maybe.")

Billionaire rapper Jay Z WILL be by his best pal Kanye West's side when he says 'I Do' to Kim Kardashian on Saturday, MailOnline can reveal.

A close family source has confirmed the star will stand up for his friend at the lavish ceremony to be held at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.

Rumours that Jay Z would be the best man were originally dismissed, but the family member said he would be attending alongside his wife, superstar Beyoncé, adding: 'Beyoncé had to think about it at the last minute, she didn't really want to go, but I think Jay Z's the best man, so he's kind of making her go...There, he'll rub elbows with the likes of model Teigen and hubby John Legend, tennis pro Williams, basketball stars Scottie Pippen and Carmelo Anthony (attending with their wives, Kardashian BFFs Larsa Pippen and La La Anthony), and famed jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. Add to that the famed Kardashian-Jenner clan—mom Kris, stepdad Bruce, brother Rob, stepbrother Brandon and his wife Leah, sisters Kendall, Kylie, Khloe, and Kourtney, and Kourtney's entire family (boyfriend Scott Disick and kids Mason and Penelope)—and you've got one very star-studded event.

Others who have RSVP'd "yes" include fashion designer Rachel Roy, Vogue contributing editor Andre Leon Talley, celeb trainer Gunnar Peterson, stylists to the stars Chris McMillan and Jen Atkin, rapper Q-Tip (who might DJ!), Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis and girlfriend Abbey Wilson, Tyga (whose album West is producing), and video-girl Blac Chyna. Longtime Kardashian pals Malika Haqq, Brittny Gastineau, Jonathan Cheban, Simon Huck, and Shelli Azoff will also be in attendance.

Noticeably absent from the list? Bruce's son Brody Jenner, who, as US exclusively reported earlier this week, opted not to go when his girlfriend was not invited. Also missing is Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, who was among the invitees but is not expected to attend.)

"We are up to our necks with this wedding," a worker from a local company in Florence previously told US of the ceremony, which will take place at the stately Forte di Belvedere. Added another source: "This is literally going to be Hollywood movie-set level [staging]."

 

Kim and Kanye, who got engaged last October, were recently spotted in Paris, which she calls “her second home,” where they not only hit up a few fashion shows, but made a stop at the Palace of Versailles.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West confirm private tour of Palace of Versailles for wedding guests

Versailles is where Louis XIV famously used to dwell in the 1600s.  It's also where Marie Antoinette lived with her hubby Louis the XVI and was trashed for her lavish lifestyle.  She famously said "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" – which means , "Let them eat cake," referring to the common folk who bitched at her.

The highly anticipated nuptials of the Hollywood couple are just days away, and while the two continue to play coy about the details, one thing they can confirm is the night before the big day.

"Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have decided to let their guests discover the Château of Versailles during a private surprise tour on Friday, May 23, the eve of their wedding," the couple and officials at the Louis XIV estate said in a statement (via People magazine).

"In making this choice, they are contributing to a better understanding and maintaining the exceptional heritage of the castle of Versailles, which is classed a World Heritage site UNESCO."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding has everyone at the Palace of Versaille in hush-hush mode ... but after some digging, we got to the bottom of what's going down at Louis XIV's crib.

 Kim Kardashian's wedding is so secret ... even Kim has no idea what's going on ... which is exactly how Kanye wants it.

Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... Kanye has cut his bride-to-be out of the wedding planning entirely  ... with the goal of unleashing the surprise of the century.  He's planning almost everything.

BUT WE KNOW SOME STUFF:

  -- Kim and Kanye will exchange "I do's" at Versailles

--   Part of the post-wedding celebration will take place at a 16th century fort in Florence

--   The guests have NOT been told specifics about Florence, including where they're staying Saturday night.

--  The guests don't even know how they're getting from Paris to Florence ... assuming private jet.

--  There is a big second event in Florence, which Kanye is keeping top secret.

Finally, Kanye is trying to keep Kim off her phone and away from the Internet ... good luck with that.

Kim Kardashian 's kept in the dark about her own wedding

The Palace of Versailles has 5 spaces available for events ... but our sources say Kim's tying the knot in a place only a few others have occupied -- which we believe is the palace's Orangerie.

The Orangerie has been the backdrop for a few huge nuptials ... including one of the most expensive ever.  Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal rented the space for his daughter's ridiculously lavish wedding at a cost of $141,000.

It's around 350 years old, with two huge staircases -- famously named the "One Hundred Steps.  The world-famous garden is filled during the summer with more than 1,200 exotic trees.  Louis XIV said the garden was as important to him as the castle itself.

Coincidentally, the Orangerie opens for events on May 20th ... just days before the couple will tie the knot

The couple rented the fort, located next to Florence's famed Boboli Gardens, for 300,000 euros ($410,000). A Protestant minister will preside, spokeswoman Elisa Di Lupo told The Associated Press in a phone interview. 

The 36-year-old rapper proposed to the reality star on her 33rd birthday in October 2013 renting out San Francisco's AT&T Park for the occasion. This is the first marriage for West, who was previously engaged to designer Alexis Phifer. It's the third trip down the aisle for Kardashian. She got married to the  music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2003, and spent 72 days married to professional basketball player Kris Humphries in 2011 after tying the knot in a lavish ceremony that was broadcast as a two-part TV special. There has been no explicit confirmation from either Kardashian or West about the wedding. In an email Thursday to AP, Kardashian's representative Ina Treciokas said she wasn't able to comment on reports about the nuptials. But in an interview with Florence's La Nazione newspaper Friday, West extolled the beauty of Florence and spoke of the event. Asked if he was excited about May 24, he said, "Very excited. But very happy." He said he and Kardashian had come to Florence incognito and believed that their daughter, North, born in June 2013, was conceived "among the Renaissance masterpieces." "It was our first honeymoon," he said of that visit. "It's one of the most beautiful cities of the world, for me the most beautiful in Europe." The couple was featured on the cover of Vogue magazine's April issue, with Kardashian wearing a wedding-style dress. The couple had reportedly been planning a wedding ceremony May 24 in France. Di Lupo said the proceeds from the rental would go to fund restoration of many of Florence's artistic treasures

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West set to tie the nuptial knot in Florence, Italy

On Friday, guests shared brunch and strolled with designer Valentino in the gardens of his 17th-century Chateau de Wideville west of Paris.

Then came an evening fit for the Sun King: A private tour of the nearby Chateau of Versailles. Crowds of fans mobbed West's car as it entered the grounds in a convoy of black vehicles, riding up the cobblestone toward the gilded entrance of the French royal domain.

Musician Lana Del Rey, said to be a Kardashian favorite, performed three songs during the rehearsal dinner. "It was all French stuff. Pretty much everything was truffled," TMZ reported, of the dinner. Fireworks — of course — followed.

Kardashian familiar Jonathan Cheban posted a photo on Instagram Saturday morning from what looked to be an airport setting. He captioned it: "Early morning with the crew ... here we go." Larsa Pippen, wife of former NBA star Scottie Pippen, posted a picture of a plane full of what appeared to be wedding guests.

Kanye and Kim plan to have another baby right after their wedding.. Kim and Kanye “think French chateaus are awesome.” Kimsaid the wedding dress is “perfect after the final fitting.” and cost over $2 million.. The high-end security at the wedding itself costs $3 million.

The total cost of the wedding is thought to be in the region of $7 million, enough to pay for 250 average weddings in the U.S., according to GoBankingRates.com, a financial information service. Much of the cost of the wedding could be recouped through promotional deals.

Guardian tells ua that Kim and Kanye's wedding will be, like, epic and everything, but what the dress looks like – and who has designed it – is fashion's best kept secret. Jess Cartner-Morley investigates  : it might be Ermanno Scervino, Valentino, Lanvin , Qivency and Mcwueen
