Kim Kardashian and Kanye West set to tie the nuptial knot at Forte Di Beldevere,Florence, Italy

Once and for all Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are married! Kanye introducing his guests to “my baby, Kim Kardashian West”.

And, Kardashian appeared gorgeously stunning in the lace Givenchy gown as she wed the man of her dreams at Florence’s 16th-century Forte di Belvedere, Italy

The couple said “I do” in a sunset ceremony before 200 friends and family members (and a six-meters wall of flowers) at the historic Forte Di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.

Kimye's wedding seems to be the most extravagant celebrity wedding in history.
Kim, Kanye, and their 600 guests all gathered at the 16th century Fort Belvedere in Florence, Italy after their lavish Palace of Versailles pre-wedding party on Friday night.

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.

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.

Kanye West surprised Kim Kardashian by having the musician Lana Del Rey, perform 3 songs during the rehearsal dinner. "It was all French stuff. Pretty much everything was truffled," TMZ reported, of the dinner. Fireworks — of course — followed.

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.

Her groom, who surprised Kardashian with a performance by one of her favorite singers, Lana Del Rey, made a touching speech about his wife-to-be.

"He was telling everyone stories until Kim said, 'OK, let everyone drink and do their thing now,'" a source told Us.

"Kanye kept making the cutest remarks to her. He said, 'It's amazing to look around this room, there are so many talented people,'" the source continued.

"Then Kim said, 'And beautiful people.'" 'Yeah, but Kim's way more beautiful than I am talented,' West continued, it was so sweet — he said a couple adorable things like that. They seemed so happy."

The Kim Kardashian, Kanye West wedding festivities have taken flight as the Hollywood couple and their hundreds of guests have touched down in Italy for the highly anticipated ceremony.

The pair are set to say "I do" at Florence's Forte di Belvedere around 6 pm Saturday while their star-studded attendees look on.

Bruce Jenner and Scott Disick arrive by private jet to Florence Airport for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West wedding.

The décor for the lavish affair includes a spectacular wall of flowers, just like the Mother's Day present gifted to Kardashian by her future husband earlier this month, Us Weekly reported

"The blooms include white gardenias, white peonies and white roses from Paris and Belgium," a source told the mag.

After the couple officially exchange vows, guests will  reportedly sit together at a 70-metre-long marble banquet table looking over the skyline of Florence.

The twosome plunked down $420,000 to rent the restored Italian garrison, which was built by Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici in 1590.

The 34-year-old bride put on a custom-made Givenchy gown, designed with the help of Riccardo Tisci.

Her daughter North also wore Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci and West looked dapper too, wearing a Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci tuxedo.

Tisci has been friendly with the Kardashian-Wests and also designed the floral gown Kardashian wore to the punk-themed Met Gala in 2013.

But don’t expect to see many pictures of the ceremony as the rights to the photos have been sewn up in a deal with a very hefty price tag. Grainy pictures on social media show Kim in a long-sleeved, white lace Givenchy gown. Radar Online also has an exclusive image .

Rick Wilkinson Jr. officiated the ceremony, which was nothing less than spectacular.

During the wedding, the couple, along with their guests, enjoyed a magical performance by Andrea Bocelli. The famed Italian tenor serenaded Kim and Kanye with several songs, including "Con te Partiro."

When Legend graced the stage at a piano, as he went into "All of Me," said, "I am so happy for Kim and Kanye, Kanye was was inspired by you, knew he was in love with you, knew you were the one...I know Kanye personally as person, as friend and as a mentor...I believe in you two and I also believe in this song, and it's number one now!"

Kimye are just like Us in one respect, at least: Like so many other brides and grooms this year, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West danced to 2014's wedding anthem, John Legend's "All of Me." The big difference? John Legend was there himself to serenade the couple inside their wedding reception at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, May 24, a source confirms to Us Weekly. The very first dance, however, was a wild, Kanye-style mashup of Etta James' "At Last" and Otis Redding's "These Arms of Mine" and "Tenderness" that segued into West rapping for the crowd.

As previously reported, both Mr. and Mrs. West, as well as daughter North, wore custom Givenchy (designed by close pal Riccardo Tisci) for their much-anticipated ceremony and reception. Legend, 35, originally wrote the romantic ballad for his own wife, supermodel Chrissy Teigen, and sang to her during their September 2013 wedding in Lake Como, Italy.
