Another Celeb Wedding

On August 20th 2011 Kim Kardashian and her reality TV beau Kris Humphries tied the knot.
The ceremony was held on a private estate in the Southern Californian town of Montecito which started 37 minutes late (but who was counting really?). Kim walked down the aisle with her step father but, she did take a moment to reflect on her dad wishing he was there to assist. Kardashian wore a breathtaking gown by the one and only Vera Wang.
The bride and groom kicked off their recpetion with their first dance (Angel sung by Robin Thicke). Guests were also treated to a performance by Earth, Wind and Fire as well as snacks that included $750,000 worth of caviar, kobe beef burgers and truffles.
Celeb guests that attended the event included Vera Wang, NBA star Carmelo Anothony, Scotty Pippen, Eva Longoria and Lindsay Lohen who conveniently sported the same gown that Pippa Middleton wore to her sisters wedding reception.
Sources say the reception was shut down early due to noise complaints. But although the guests were sent home early, gift bags included a notepad with the couple's picture on it, a candle wrapped in a KK-embroidered box and heart-shaped Krispy Kreme donuts.

So how much did this $10 million US wedding cost the Kardashian klan? Probably not a penny, reports MSN Finance. The couple reportedly raked in more than $17 million US on their big day, receiving $2.4 million from People magazine for the exclusive photo rights and another $15 million for the E! special, Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event (set to air in October).

According to MSN Finance, Kardashian’s three Vera Wang wedding gowns (estimated to cost $20,000 each) were provided by the designer. Perrier Jouet Champagne supplied $400,000 worth of champagne and an L.A. celebrity bakery kicked in a $15,000, 10-tiered wedding cake.
Adding to the already astounding numbers are another $150,000 in comped hair and makeup and nearly $6 million in jewelry, which included discounted wedding day jewelry, wedding bands and engagement ring -- and let's not forget about the $50,000 bachelorette party that was sponsored by Tao in Las Vegas.

Oh, the life of a celebrity !!!
