THE Kardashians have been known to throw over-the-top weddings.
From Kim and Kris Humphries’ $10M made-for-TV nuptials to Khloe and Lamar Odom’s whirlwind ceremony, take a look back at the famous family’s biggest celebrations of love.
KIM’S ELOPEMENT
Kim, 41, was the first Kardashian sister to tie the knot when she married Damon Thomas, 52, in 2000.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum was just 19 when she married the music producer, who was ten years her senior.
The pair tied the knot in Las Vegas, which was years before she became a household name.
The wedding seemed to be a last minute decision, as the couple decided to elope while Kim was working as a sales assistant at the Los Angeles store Body.
Not much is known about their wedding or marriage, but it’s fair to assume that the Las Vegas ceremony had nothing on Kim’s future weddings.
Kim hasn’t spoken highly of her first marriage, which ended in divorce in 2004.
According to Yahoo!, the SKIMS mogul previously said: “I got married because I clearly was young and it wasn’t the best choice.
“I definitely learned a lot from it and I don’t have regrets ever.”
She also claimed Damon was controlling and physically violent towards her during her relationship.
Kim even admitted to her sister Kourtney, 42, that she was high on ecstasy for their wedding day during an episode of KUWTK.
KHLOE’S WHIRLWIND WEDDING
The next major Kardashian wedding to take place was in 2009, when Khloe, 37, married Lamar, 42, one month after meeting.
The wedding was featured during season 4 of KUWTK.
During the nuptials, Khloe stunned in a custom Vera Wang silk gown with a lavender sash and Jimmy Choo shoes.
The wedding was held at family friend Irving Azoff’s Beverly Hills mansion, while guests included Ryan Seacrest, Chelsea Handler, Kobe Bryant and Kelly Osbourne.
Khloe’s sisters, as well as her brother Rob, were part of the wedding party, while the Good American mogul also had her best friend Malika Haqq serve as a bridesmaid.
The couple eventually split in 2013, though their divorce was put on hold as Lamar dealt with his addiction issues.
Their divorce was officially finalized in 2016.
KIM AND KRIS’ TV WEDDING
Kim once again walked down the aisle when she married NBA player Kris, 37, in a ceremony that cost $10million.
Back in 2011, Kim and Kris tied the knot during an elaborate televised ceremony.
The Kardashian clan went all out for the nuptials, which took place in Montecito, California.
The invite list consisted of 450 guests, including Ryan, Julianne Hough, Demi Lovato, Serena Williams and Larsa and Scottie Pippen.
Wedding planner Sharon Sacks previously spoke to PEOPLE about the bash’s theme, explaining: “Kim loves black and white and so does Kris.
“They have this Hollywood royalty feeling and the black and white represented formality. But tradition was very important to them.”
Kim stunned as she walked down the aisle in a custom-designed strapless Vera Wang ball gown, which reportedly made the star feel “like a princess.”
The TV personality’s former stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, walked her down the aisle, though Kim made sure to involve her late father, Robert Sr., in the special moment.
She previously said during an interview with KUWTK producer Ryan that she would carry something special with her during the ceremony to honor her father.
Accompanied by the former Olympian, Kim made her way down a 196-foot long custom white runner that featured a black border and details inspired by the pattern on the couple’s wedding invitations.
Meanwhile, her sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie served as bridesmaids.
CALLING IT OFF
Kim and Kris famously broke up just 72 days after their wedding, while the reality star recently admitted she felt pressured to marry the athlete because the wedding was televised.
During the KUWTK reunion in June 2021, Kim admitted to having “cold feet” before the ceremony.
“We’re filming this for a TV show. If I leave, I’m gonna be known as the runaway bride forever and it’s gonna be a huge joke and I think I just have I had cold feet,” she remembered.
“I was like, ‘Okay guys, it’s just cold feet. I got this. It’s cold feet. We’re filming a show.’ You know, the show paid us, obviously, a fee to film the show.
“I took my entire fee and probably Kris’ because I wanted a bigger wedding than what they were gonna pay for. I spent all of our production money on the wedding,” the TV star admitted.
“So if that was fake, I would have saved my money.”
Later, host Andy Cohen asked if she “partially went through with the wedding because of the show” and she replied: “Yes. I will say because I felt pressured. I felt like I was gonna let everyone down.”
KIM AND KAYNE’S NUPITALS
Kim later married Kanye West, 44, during a romantic ceremony in Florence, Italy in May 2014.
The SKIMS mogul- who shares four kids with the rapper- looked gorgeous in a custom Givenchy bridal gown as she was walked down the aisle by Caitlyn.
The wedding was much more intimate than her second ceremony, as source previously told E! News: “There are only 100 guests invited. It is only their closest friends and family. The couple had to be very selective and cut it off at no work friends no matter how close or cherished.”
However, the event still racked up a hefty bill and cost a grand total of $2.8million.
Ahead of the wedding, the couple held their rehearsal dinner at the Versailles Palace.
Kanye surprised his bride by having opera singer Andrea Boccelli performer Ave Maria as Kim walked down the aisle, which was a nod to her late father.
The ceremony was officiated by Miami-based pastor by Rich Wilkerson Jr., while the couple exchanged vows in front of a stunning wall made entirely of white flowers.
Following the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a reception in a venue decked out with marble tables and gold toilets.
The newlyweds then enjoyed their first dance to a live performance of John Legend’s All of Me.
Kim eventually filed for divorce from the rapper in February 2021, while the legal matter is still ongoing.
