Khloe Kardashian Wedding

And yes, it sounds like these girls are really trying to out do each other when it comes to headlines. Getting married, getting engaged, having babies, and getting back together. What? Who is doing what? Here is Khloe Kardashian flashing off her engagement ring on a night out in L.A. and you may remember that we only reported a week ago that she was engaged to her boyfriend LA Laker guy Lamar Odom for about five minutes. And their engagement only seemed to last about that long as well, as the two went off and eloped and now Khloe is a wifey. Of course her sister Kourtney is preggo and so this quickie shotgun wedding can only lead us to wonder….are two Kardashian eggo’s preggo’d right now? As mentioned, we can only guess at this point, but Khloe is working hard at making sure she stays on the top of the tabloids come hell or high water. In what proved to be an elegant finale to their five minute relationship, Khloe wed Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom this past Sunday evening at a private residence in Beverly Hills.

The two were married in front of triple arches of white roses created by celebrity florist Mark’s Garden. At 5:12 p.m., Kardashian, 25, walked down the outdoor aisle in a Vera Wang gown on the arm of her stepfather, Bruce Jenner, with sisters Kim and Kourtney at her side. Khloe’s bridal party included half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, actresses (and twin sisters) Khadijah and Malika Haqq and actress Lauren London. The bride’s bouquet was a romantic white nosegay of roses, stephanotis and lilies of the valley, and the bridesmaids wore lavender gowns and carried bouquets of white roses. And in true Hollywood style, cameras rolled for a future episode of E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians as 250 guests – including the show’s producer Ryan Seacrest, Kelley Osbourne, Odom’s Laker teammate Kobe Bryant, with his wife Vanessa, and TV personalities Chelsea Handler, Lara Spencer, Brittny Gastineau and Lala Vazquez – looked on. Guests began arriving at the black-tie affair (at which BlackBerrys were banned) more than an hour in advance for a pre-wedding reception. A 10-piece orchestra played during the ceremony, held on the grounds of the home of music mogul Irving Azoff, a family friend. And in true Kardashian style, the theme was a nightclub theme.

Wedding planner Sharon Sacks created the Hollywood nightclub-themed reception that followed in a tent on the property, fitted with dark wooden walls, white carpeting, silver mirrors and chandeliers. The tables were decorated with tall white centerpieces with lavender touches made of roses, calla lilies and exotic leaves in soaring glass vases. Babyface sang during the reception, and a DJ flown in from New York was booked to keep the party going until 11:00 p.m. Elegant white and silver invitations went out to guests just days before the ceremony, hosted by Khloe’s mom Kris Jenner and her stepdad. Also among those who attended were Luke Walton, Phil Jackson, Mitch Kupchak and Sasha Vujacic. But even though WE just heard about it, this was hardly a quickie ceremony, as you can probably imagine at this point with all of the aforementioned details. Earlier in the week, Khloe prepared for the whirlwind wedding, choosing items for her registry and celebrating with a bachelorette party and all, of course, all while being followed by the E! cameras. And because they like the camera soooo much, show producer Ryan Seacrest is also seriously considering a spinoff of the Kardashians that features Khloe and Lamar. If you haven’t started gagging yet, we can pause for a moment. And just because Kimmy dear hasn’t been in the news recently, guess she found it imperative to change that by getting back together with long time beau New Orleans Saints star Reggie Bush. Yeah, that doesn’t sound so exciting now, does it?
