First Glimpse of Beaming bride Kim Kardashian

Beaming and beautiful, bride Kim Kardashian looked a picture of happiness as she prepared to exchange vows with fiance Kris Humphries.

In a sneak peek of the couple’s wedding, which took place on Saturday at a private home in Montecito, California, the 30-year-old reality star could be seen gazing up at her husband as they stood hand in hand.E! Entertainment let fans of the show have a brief glimpse of the wedding last night. The full ceremony will air on the network in early October.Kim looked stunning in her ivory custom-designed strapless Vera Wang gown. The dress had a full tulle skirt, a basque waist and Chantilly lace decorated the bodice and long train. She wore her veil off her face, held back with a jewelled headpiece containing diamonds ‘drops’ over her forehead.Her make-up while striking, was a pared-down look for the reality star, and she wore her hair in a simple up-do. Kim flashes her famous grin to her guests as she walks down the seemingly endless white and black carpeted aisle, all whilst on the arm of her step father, Bruce Jenner.As she finally makes it down to Kris, who is equally dapper dressed in a cream peak lapel tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants with white shirt and white bow tie by Ermenegildo Zegna, the couple can’t stop smiling at one another. Co-maids of honour Kourtney (32) and Khloe (27) are also seen in the clip in their cream strapless gowns with their brunette tresses down in loose waves.Kim’s mother Kris Jenner also takes a moment before the ceremony to pose with her two daughters and Kim’s half sisters and bridesmaids, Kylie (15) and Kendall (14).Kris (55) also wore a Vera Wang-designed dress; a strapless white gown with an over-the-top bow across the bodice, while the two teenagers wear matching strapless dresses with fishtail hems.And while Kim and the wedding party can only be described as flawless, it appears that it was little Mason who nearly steals the show, with the toddler walking down the aisle in a miniature cream tuxedo.At first he was held by his mother Kourtney who herself had a near-fall as she walked down the aisle holding her son, who played ring bearer in the ceremony.And while she steadied herself, though, little Mason, 21 months, zoomed down the aisle ahead of her.The Humphries family’s pastor, Joel Johnson, officiated the traditional Christian service while Kim’s stepfather Bruce Jenner walked her down the aisle. Among the guests at the wedding, Eva Longoria, who was there with her partner Eduardo Cruz, was spotted seated in the crowd, adhering to the black and white theme in monochrome black.Guest and E! News reporter Ken Baker, who was among guests at the lavish affair, said that Kim received a round of applause as soon as she stepped onto the grandiose aisle, but the reality star made sure to keep her cool. The ceremony was watched not only by the couple’s families, but also celebrity guests including Ryan Seacrest, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, Mel B, Venus and Serena Williams, Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato.Kim exchanged weddings rings with Kris designed by her good friend Lorraine Schwartz, who also designed her stunning engagement ring.Following the ceremony, the action moved to a separate tent with the bride changing into a second Vera Wang mermaid gown with more Chantilly lace on the bodice and hand-cut organza petals on the skirt, with the reality star expected to change into a third creation.Soul singer Robin Thicke introduced ‘Mr and Mrs Humphries’ and sang his song ‘Angels’ for the couple’s first dance as husband and wife, then ‘Let’s Stay Together’.The order of service also included an emotional tribute to Kris Humphries’ late grandparents and Kim’s late father Robert Kardashian.The wedding breakfast was made by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck with a starter of buffalo mozzarella and tomato salad, and a choice of hand-formed agnolotti with sweet corn mascarpone and summer truffles, or roast chicken with Yukon Gold potato puree, caramelized brussels sprouts and summer truffles for the main course.Guests at the wedding were treated to high security measures including metal detectors and having their phones and cameras taken away.The wedding comes as a big pay day for Kim. US magazine People has bought the rights for the exclusive photographs for a cool US$1, 5million.Add to that her fee for the television footage, which will be aired by the E! network in a two-part special.Plus, she has already pocketed US$300,000 for the engagement announcement back in May and another US $100,000 from OK! magazine for the bridal shower photos.- www.dailymail.co.uk
