Does anyone know the whereabouts of Kanye West these days? I think he might still be in Paris, finalizing the wedding plans and establishing the necessary 40-day residency in France he and Kim will need before they marry. But it doesn’t matter, really, because I just can’t figure out how Kim and Kanye’s French wedding will be in any way legal. They must have come to that conclusion too, because Radar says that Kim and Kanye will be getting married in LA first, then on to France where it will just be a showbiz-y wedding that “doesn’t count.”
For Kim Kardashian, more is always more. The reality star, who wed ex husband Kris Humphries in a lavish $10 million ceremony, will marry third husband Kanye West three times— once in Southern California and twice in France— RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
To avoid long lines and red tape, a source tells RadarOnline.com, the couple’s lawyers recommended they hold a civil ceremony in the United States prior to their French nuptials on May 24. “Typically, the U.S. recognizes citizens getting married in France, but dealing with a foreign government and paperwork could be a nightmare,” the insider explains. “So just to make sure it’s legal, Kim and Kanye will first be having a civil ceremony in Southern California.”
Next, the couple will cross the Atlantic for their dream ceremony in Paris— and French law dictates that there be two wedding ceremonies.
“A religious ceremony has to be performed after a civil ceremony, never before,” the French Embassy in Washington D.C. explains to RadarOnline.com. “The minister, priest or rabbi will require a certificate of civil marriage before any religious ceremony takes place.”
According to a new report, the high-profile couple recently scouted a new location for their main event— the 17th-century, Louis XIV-commissioned Chateau de Louveciennes.
“Kim will have at least three dress changes on the big ceremony day in France,” a source tells RadarOnline.com “It will be over the top. Kim and Kanye want it to be the wedding of the century.”
But there may be a snag in their grand plans— According to various statutes in France, at least one of the parties has to have resided in the country for at least 40 days prior to the wedding.
“Kim and Kanye were unaware until recently that France required a residency requirement prior to marriage,” a Kardashian source tells RadarOnline. “Kanye has an apartment in Paris, but he doesn’t live there full-time.”
We’ll see. The thing is, I doubt they need France to recognize their wedding anyway. I mean, sure, they can try to follow the rules and everything and we’ll see if that works. But America is already going to recognize their marriage no matter what. They’re both American citizens, they’ll have all of the paperwork and if there’s one thing we know about Kim, it’s that she’s got access to tons of great lawyers (many of whom were friends with her dad). They’ll be fine. I am interested in seeing what Yeezington has planned though. It will be a spectacle, I’m sure.

I read a story the other day where Kanye asked Franco and Rogen to perform Bound 2 in person at a party the night before the wedding but Franco declined (he spoke about this in an interview so I’m assuming this story is true…but then again…).
Also, yeah they would be planning 3 separate wedding ceremonies so Kanye can catch up with all of Kim’s previous wedding ceremonies.

I don’t know if this is her idea as much as Kanye’s. I think Kanye is planning everything, but Kim’s face can’t form any emotion to show her disapproval. So I assume he takes that as yes vote.

HH, my theory is that she IS very invested in this and wants this dog and pony show as much as he does. She’s letting him do everything because when people complain (as they should) that this is her third wedding and it should have been low keyed, she can use him as the excuse – it was his idea and she didn’t want to stifle his creativity. That’s my theory and only a theory.

i just want to say that french law doesn’t require two ceremonies! only the civil one is necessary
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I wondered about that, because what if you weren’t religious?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
yeah, i was also thinking that that’s a misleading/unclear statement. the civil one is required, and you can’t do a religious one without the civil one, BUT you can do a civil one without a religious one. sadly, i think most people’s minds can’t digest the fact that a lot of people don’t want/don’t have a religious ceremony.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
But if they have a civil ceremony in the US, wouldn’t that be accepted in France for their “religious” ceremony? Then there wouldn’t be any need for the 40 day residency requirement or the French civil ceremony. But I don’t know French law and just have no interest in looking it up for these two. Now if it was Brad and Angelina getting married in France…
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I don’t get it either…if they get legally married in the us, how can it be that they can get married again in France? Can you just get married as much as you want? Two legal ceremonies? I was going through the comments to find out if someone explained it, but no luck so far.

…and the civil ceremony doesn’t have to be an actual “ceremony”. It just involves signing papers in front of a witness.

It doesn’t matter if it his idea or hers. She has been married twice and the last wedding was a sham for ratings and to add to her bank account. You may think I am mean but having yet one more over the top wedding is so low class to me. She married Humphries and made a fool of him by saying no to an annulment yet getting pregnant with North while holding up the divorce. I mean come on North was born a little less than a month after she signed her divorce papers. It is up to her to settle Kanye down and to have a more low-key wedding. They are in their thirties and already have a kid. And they wonder why people don’t like them, it is always the same old arrogant and smug crap with these two. Nothing is ever just civilized and classy. Yuk.

I just can’t understand why Kanye is willing to have the wedding aired on E. Is it because E will pay for it all?

Because she wants it and would not let up on it or so the story goes. Who can say for sure as niether one seems to be very truthful.

This! It’s shameful to have this kind of over-the-top wedding less than a year after the divorce of your last (very short lived) TEN MILLION DOLLAR televised wedding. She was pregnant with another man’s baby before she was even divorced from her 2nd husband. These people have no class and no shame.

I suggest they give up the idea of having an official French wedding (pretty pointless for foreigners anyway) and just have a wedding privately (if Kim can bear that idea) in the US. Then they can renew their vows in France if their marriage lasts more than 72 days.
I know, I should hire myself out as wedding planner for the stars.

Kim does not settle down. Kanye will soon find this out after their marriage has aged a few weeks. She got bored with Kris. She got bored with North “IgNori”. She’ll get bored of Kanye. Credit me with this post when I go on Yahoo! a year from now and their divorce is the main article.

She wouldn’t even let Kris H move his things into her home in LA once they got married. Let’s see if they ever move into the home they are remodeling. And I was also wondering where Kanye has been. He’s been pretty much MIA from the tabloids lately.

Didn’t Avril Lavigne and her now-husband get married in France? I don’t think they had two ceremonies or lived in France for 40 days. Hmm, maybe they had a civil ceremony in Canada first? Weird.
Personally I think Kim having another over-the-top wedding with another 3 dress changes is not going to be viewed favourably since she went over the top with her last wedding. Of course, with Kanye, everything is over the top, so…

French law is specific, one of the couple, at least, has to have one months residency and you have to post the banns ten days before the marriage.

I know this makes me sound horrid, but my husband and I had three wedding ceremonies – one with just the two of us, one in the country where my family lives, and one in the country where his family lives. None of these ceremonies cost $10,000,000, however. I did wear the same dress for two of the three ceremonies.
Honestly, we just figured that weddings are really, really fun. Two years from now, on our 10-year anniversary, we’re going to have another one. I’m pulling for New Orleans, preferably during French Quarter Festival.
I pray that “amount of wedding ceremonies” is the only comparison anyone will ever be able to make between myself and the Kardashian shrew.

Of course they need three ceremonies. It’s not just their big ego’s – one for her front, one for her @$$ and one for him.
