The bridesmaids -- sisters Kendall and Kyle Jenner, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian along with mommy Kris Jenner -- were dressed in Vera Wang too, each trying to upstage the bride, it seemed.

The ceremony, which was held at a private estate in Montecito, California, also the site of the cancelled Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck wedding, started at around 6.30 pm and lasted approximately 30 minutes.

Mr and Mrs Humphries reportedly spent $10 million on the wedding but won't have to pay a cent as they've already earned close to $17 million from the hoopla.


The couple has reportedly sold four-hour-long footage to E! for a whopping $15 million and the wedding pictures to People magazine for a cool $2.5 million.

In their arrival, all the guests were handed programmes, which included tributes to Kardashian's late father, famed O J Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian, and Humphries' late grandmother and grandfather.

'I so wish my dad could be here today to walk me down the aisle,' the New York Daily News quoted Kardashian's passage as saying.

'But I know in a way he is here, and I feel his loving presence all around me. I love and miss you, dad,' she stated.


Pastor Joel Johnson, who officiated the traditional Christian ceremony and has known Humphries for years, told the guests that he had asked the bride and groom to write down what they loved most about each other, before the wedding, which he also made them share.

The invited guests included Ryan Seacrest, who's also the producer of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Rob Kardashian's girlfriend Avril Lavigne and former Spice girl Mel B. Everybody stuck to the bride's request of black and white outfits.


Johnson revealed that the socialite said the NBA star puts a smile on her face everyday, and that he's the "yin to her yang" bringing calm to her life and the fun out of her.

Kourtney Kardashian's 21-month-old son Mason clearly stole the show as he made his way down the aisle in a miniature cream tuxedo.

The 26-year-old basketball player, he said he loved his bride-to-be for her compassion, how she treats every day as if it's her last and how, the first time they met, all she talked about was her family. Humphries even whispered to his groomsmen while Kim made her way down the aisle and said that he was nervous.

Lavish: The wedding could only be described as grand

The $ 20,000 wedding cake baked by Hansen Cakes was a replica of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding cake.

While Kim glowed in her Vera Wang gown and diamond encrusted tiara, she faced tough competition from statuesque step sisters Kendall and Kyle as well as mom Kris Jenner.
While Kendal wore an ornate Vera Wang gown for the occassion, Kris Jenner went a step ahead and got some work done on her face for the ceremony. She wore a majestic Vera Wang gown.


Apart from the E! and People deal, Kim's also pocketed $300,000 for the engagement announcement back in May and another $100,000 from OK! magazine for the bridal shower photos.

Just hours before saying her 'I dos', Kim tweeted: 'Anxious,excited,emotional 3words 2describe what Im feeling right now @KimKardashian I LOVE U tomorrow will b MAGICAL.'

She also posted a message on her official website: 'Today is the day! I can't believe it's finally here! Thank you so much to everyone who made this day happen!!!!!'


Kim's wedding will be aired in full on the E! network two-part special on October 9 and 10.


The new bride stepped out the next day with her husband wearing a tracksuit with Mrs Humphries emblazoned on it. The reality TV star looked fresh-faced yet a bit tired.
