A Kardashian Affair: Kim’s Fairytale Wedding

If you didn’t get an invite to Kim Kardashian’s wedding, don’t worry! The E! Channel aired the long awaited “Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event.” The show focused on the drama of getting every detail perfect leading up to the day Kim Kardashain and Kris Humphries wed.

Khloe Kardashian, Kim’s sister, was very hesitant about the two getting married. Khloe had a conversation with Kris saying she doesn’t think his intentions are pure. She goes on to say marrying Kim is very opportunistic for him. This causes tension between the two sisters throughout the show.

As the wedding day approached, Kim and Kris started to get annoyed with each other, especially on the night before they said their I-do’s at their rehearsal dinner. Kim was talking to her friend, asking if it’s normal to hate her groom-to-be.  “Every last thing annoys me,” Kim said. The duo soon patched things up when Bruce and Kris Jenner made their speeches. “This wedding is about love…and let’s just enjoy every moment,” Kim realized.

When Kim’s brother, Rob, was trying on his tuxedo, Kim got emotional because he looked so much like their late father, Robert Kardashian. Later on, Kim sobbed to her stepdad Bruce Jenner about how much she missed her father. She needed a grasp of reality to remember that her wedding day is not about the minor details of the wedding, but the union of her and Kris and the love of their families. Bruce has been a father figure throughout her life and he comforts her and is more than happy about walking her down the aisle.

On the big day, the black and white themed ceremony looked fabulous. Walking down the aisle, Kim dripped in diamonds and a custom-made Vera Wang dress. One piece of jewelry included a massive diamond bracelet featuring two K’s knotted together which Kris gave to her before she walked down the aisle. What really stole the show was Mason, Kourtney’s son, who scampered down the aisle as the little ring bearer.

Kim and Kris stood at the alter as the pastor read their vows that they wrote for each other. “It was the cutest thing ever! Seeing this really makes me feel so much better,” the initially skeptical Khloe reflected later on. “If this is what Kris does for her, oh my God, I’m all for it!”

After the wedding, Kim and Kris danced to their first song, “Angels,” by Robin Thicke, who actually sang the song live.  The reception was filled with good food, laughter and dancing.

You can’t expect to watch the Kardashians without drama, but in the end, Kim’s wedding was filled with the love of her family and friends. Hopefully these two will have a long, healthy marriage. I’m sure Kim and Kris will live happily ever after, and with their own reality show on E! to document everything along the way.
