The Kimye Wedding Circus

BobMpryIQAAXTa8Have you been following the circus $2.8 million wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West? I HAVE. Wahoo. Fun, fun, fun.  Rob is now my favorite Kardashian. And then you must read this behind-the-scenes story of the wedding. LOVES IT!

They held their wedding on a grassy ridge at the top of the Forti di Belvedere. The couple didn’t want to do it at an accessible part of the fort, so they hired a crane to lift every single item used in the wedding up 70 meters to the very top.

The biggest decorative element of the wedding was a giant gold box, 15 meters tall, which contained the bathrooms. It was situated right next to the dinner tables at the reception with a bar in front of it. According to one Italian, “Their toilet was the star of the show.” The Italians named it the Torre di Bagni Oro – translation: The Gold Toilet Tower.

The dinner table was a long marble table. Instead of place cards, they had a team of Italian stone masons engrave the name of each guest into the marble of the tabletop in front of the individual place settings. The job was finished the night before. Unfortunately, the wedding planners had spelled some people’s names wrong. And then, so many people brought entourages, the seating was a disaster. The only people who sat at their own seats were Kim and Kanye.
