The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived: The Kimye Wedding. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West began dating in April of 2012, shortly giving birth to their beautiful daughter, North West, and later got engaged. The couple married this past weekend, in grand European style. The couple spent the evening, dancing, laughing, and talking lovingly about each other according to UsMagazine.com.
How do you keep your wedding look flawless all night?
It never rains in Southern California, but it has been raining cats and dogs in Paris. According to UsMagazine.com, showers were definitely in the forecast during Kim Kardashian’s costly European wedding weekend, which started on Friday, May 23rd at the Versailles Palace in Paris, France. The festivities began with the rehearsal dinner at Versailles. Guests were asked to dress in vintage French royalty-themed garb. However, the reality star bride appeared to be a bit down during the celebration activities and made it known the weather was to blame: “I hope the rain doesn’t ruin my wedding,” Kim stated as the Kardashian-Jenner family dined at the Hotel Costes on Wednesday, March 21st. “She made it clear that this bad weather is really getting to her. She’s clearly spending millions getting married in Europe, and if it all turns into a wash-out she will be really unhappy,” an onlooker tells Us. Although her family and friends remained positive through the circumstances, the 33-year-old bride was still not pleased with the City of Love’s lack of sun. “This weather has to get better,” other restaurant guests heard Kanye West’s fiancée say after dinner. “Spring in Paris is meant to be about sunshine, but all we’re getting is rain.”
Sharing your engagement on Instagram, sending out rehearsal dinner invites via Facebook, and getting wedding ideas from Pinterest — social media is everywhere these days, and weddings are no exception. Well, for most people anyways. According to the eighth annual “What’s on Brides’ Minds” survey by David’s Bridal, 44 percent of brides think that digital rules are important at weddings, while 14 percent are completely banning cell phones from their special days. That means no photos, tweets, or status updates! It’s rumored that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have set this rule for their wedding this weekend.
Even if social media isn’t allowed at your ceremony and reception, that doesn’t mean it won’t be part of your wedding at all. Page after page of Pinterest boards are dedicated to wedding décor ideas, and brides are known to bring a friend to judge their dress over Skype if she can’t be there in person. These are both simple ways to use technology to make your wedding exactly how you want it.
Other couples use social media to make their wedding an Internet sensation. There’s the usual practice of putting wedding photos on Facebook, but some people go the extra mile and put videos of their wedding on YouTube or broadcast the entire occasion via video chat. In fact, 36 percent of people surveyed thought that Skype was a good way to open the chapel doors to guests who can’t attend in person.
The survey further shows that many brides have acknowledged the role social media plays and have their own dos and don’ts for their weddings. For example, 62 percent of brides believe that the bridesmaids should not post photos of the bride in her dress before the ceremony, while 58 perfect of brides think that they or their husbands should be the first people to post wedding pictures. A smaller number of brides — only 22 percent — think that they should be the only ones posting wedding photos at all.
Of course, pictures aren’t the only way to let people know about your wedding. 56 percent of brides will update their social media profiles with their new name within a day of the wedding, and 10 percent will even do it while the wedding is still happening!
So whether you plan on letting your wedding become the next YouTube sensation or you’re going to put cell phones on hold like Kimye, it’s clear that social media will probably play some part in your big day. Just don’t forget to #livehappilyeverafter!

Cupid’s Advice:
Planning to get married is an exciting time in any couple’s relationship, but it also can be stressful. Marriage is a big decision and commitment, so it can be nice to be able to share news of your engagement to people, however there’s nothing wrong with not saying anything about it until you’re ready. Cupid has some advice on some advantages of keeping your wedding under wraps:
1. It will make it more special: There’s something exciting about having something known just between you and your special someone. Holding onto information until you are ready, is not a bad thing, it can be a good thing in fact because it can help strengthen your relationship. Marriage is between you and your partner, no one else, sure you’re both becoming a part of each other’s families as well, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have things on your own.
2. You can make it your way: There’s a lot of time, energy and effort that goes into wedding planning, but also in other new life changing things like deciding living arrangements. So, it can be nice to get advice from others, such as friends and family sometimes, but not on everything, especially the big decisions. Just think the less people who know, the better chance you have at not getting influenced by other’s and actually making your dream wedding, not anyone else’s.
3. Less pressure: One big up sides of keeping your wedding under wraps is you won’t feel the pressure of others, which will in turn make things less difficult for you. Sometimes wedding planning can get stressful, especially when you’re worrying about other people’s expectations, when really you should just be focusing on yours and your better half. Don’t worry about what other people will think, about the wedding, your partner, your union, whatever, instead remember why you want to get married.

The source added, “Only a very small number of people were told it was happening, and all of them were sworn to secrecy. There are lots of photos of Kim in different kinds of white wedding-like dresses.”
