Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Marry in Florence

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were married at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy on Saturday, according to a publicist for Kardashian who spoke with CNN.

Kardashian walked down the aisle with Bruce Jenner as Andrea Bocelli sang “Con te Partiró.” Kris Jenner sat in the front row and cried during the ceremony.

The family was in Europe for the entire weekend, which began with a brunch hosted by Valentino in Paris.

Hundreds of guests were then invited to the Palace of Versailles for a tour and a performance by Lana Del Ray. The couple flew to Florence for the ceremony, according to E!.

This is already the third marriage for Kardashian, but just the first for West. The two got engaged in October of 2013 after giving birth to their daughter, North.

“I think we’ve always had an attraction for each other, but we’ve always been in either other relationships or it just wasn’t the right timing,” she said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. “One day, I don’t know, it just happened. It kind of like took me by surprise even.”

Then, in December of 2012, Kardashian announced the pregnancy on her blog.

“It’s true,” Kardashian wrote. “Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us.” West told the BBC in September, “Family time — it’s what Kim gave me. She gave me everything. She gave me a family. She gave me a support system.”
