Here are some newish photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in Prague, Czech Republic. They were in Ireland for most of last week, enjoying a relatively low-key honeymoon. They apparently cut it short because Kanye’s stylist is getting married in Prague, so they arrived early and they’ve been taking in the sights. They went shopping (the photos of Kim in black leather) on Parizska (which is apparently the posh, high-end shopping district), then went for a walk in the “old town” area. The photos of Kim and Yeezus in white are where they were taking a trip to the Ploskovice Castle. That might have something to do with the wedding, I guess. They’ve also been going on “romantic dinners” and such.
We got a request to cover this NY Post rundown on everything that went down during The Kimye Wedding – the piece is really long and really funny, so you can read the full thing here. It includes details about the reception, like “Kanye danced five songs alone with Kim to John Legend (playing the marble piano), with no one else on the dance floor, and light only on them… Kanye then gave a 45-minute toast to himself.” But the best parts were about how Kanye was going crazy just before the wedding. Some highlights:
The biggest decorative element of the wedding was a giant gold box, 49 feet (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 stonemasons 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.
Four days before the wedding, they ordered 30 life-size nudes to be made from black marble from Carrara. The marble workers worked through the night to cut enough blocks, but 10 of them fell apart, another 10 were too damaged in transit to put out, and of the remaining 10, four were missing their heads. They were put out around the dinner tables. Kanye came to the venue two hours before the wedding during set-up and ordered the marble nudes moved out farther away from the dinner tables. Each weighed half a ton, so the whole crew spent the final two hours rushing to get them moved. The forklifts were the first thing the guests saw upon arrival. And the gleaming Gold Toilet Tower.
… And the most prominent wedding gift was a giant bottle of Chianti, which had been dipped in gold (probably great for the flavor of the wine), the cork replaced with a diamond, a gift from Jay Z (a no-show).
There are other gems in the piece, like Kanye taking a saw to the all-white bar just an hour before the wedding, and Kanye bitching about the visible speakers on the state-of-the-art sound system, reportedly saying: “You Italians don’t understand my Minimalist style.” Jaden Smith acted like a hyperactive child throughout the wedding and many people were completely blitzed before the vows were even exchanged. Apparently they treated Andrea Bocelli like crap too.
So… yeah. What did you expect? Of course it was going to be a mess. But the only thing Kim and Kanye cared about was that the photos looked good.
