Kim Kardashian News Update: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will tie the knot in Florence, Italy, next weekend. A spokeswoman at the Florence mayor's office said Friday that the power couple will get married at the city's imposing 16th century Belvedere Fort on May 24 according to CBS News.
According to the report, West and Kardashian rented the fort, located next to Florence's famed Boboli Gardens, for 300,000 euros ($410,000). Di Lupo said a Protestant minister will preside, spokeswoman Elisa Di Lupo said.
The couple, especially Kardashian, wants to keep their wedding private from the media, which explains why the venue and other details have been kept secret even from her sisters.
Breathecast reported that the invitation, designed in matte gray with gold letterings, provided no information other than wearing "a black tie" with additional details to be given upon arrival.
The event will be composed of 200 guests of close friends and relatives. Kardashian has been hands on with the wedding preparations and has been going back and forth to Paris since the second quarter of 2013.
"People are probably assuming we're going to have this massive wedding, and I think it will be - but intimate. Two hundred people - just all of our closest friends - a special night for us and all the people that really love us and that have supported us," Kardashian said in an interview with Vogue.
"You will see everything leading up till and after! As much as we would love to share these memories on camera, we've decided to keep this close to our heart & share thru photos," Kardashian tweeted.
West proposed to Kardashian in October 2013 renting out San Francisco's AT&T Park for the occasion. The couple have a daughter together, North West, who turns 1 in June and is rumoured to be the wedding's flower girl.
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 was wed to 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, CBS News reported.
