Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Wedding: Lady Gaga to Perform for Kimye Ceremony in Paris
The engaged couple of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning to get married in June in Paris, France. The exact location of their wedding still has to be decided because, while the couple wanted to tie the knot in the royale palace at Versailles, officials have turned down the couple's request to be married at the French national treasure.
"Kim and Kanye really wanted to get married at Versailles and were both hoping to persuade officials during their visit there," a source said, but "ultimately it backfired. It was still a firm no."
A source claims that the event will be filmed for an episode of the reality television show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and E! producers are paying several million dollars in order to film the wedding.
"Kim persuaded Kanye to let the cameras roll because E! will pick up most of the cost of the wedding and it's a lot easier for a network to deal with logistics of a foreign wedding than if it were just the two of them planning it," the source said. "Both Kim and Kanye have very high expectations for their wedding. It will be an over-the-top affair and there will be pre-wedding festivities leading up to the big day for their guests. It'll be a festival!"
The couple has asked Lady Gaga to sing at the wedding. The Sun reported, "Kim and Kanye met up with Gaga in Paris. They were desperate to get the star's involvement, which is why she's the first person to be asked. She's ideal for them because Kanye has always been a fan of her style and performance art. But also, Kim loves her music, so it's one they can instantly agree on."
Hopefully the ceremony won't make things awkward for Khloé, who just got divorced from Lamar Odom.
