NY Post Mocks Kimye Wedding

While there has been a lot written about Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West in the days leading up to their Italian wedding on May 24th, the New York Post did not hold back their feelings about the couple's happy day. In a wedding announcement titled "ALERT (yawn): Kimye weds," the newspaper made it clear that they were among the dissenters who have had enough of the superstars.

The article read, "Two jackasses got married in Italy Saturday. Sex-tape star Kim Kardashian, 33, wed egotist Kanye West, 36, in a wedding opulent enough for Florence's Medici dynasty and tacky enough for reality TV. They were betrothed at Florence's 16th-century Fort di Belvedere castle. Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner walked Kim down the aisle. The republic still stands."

Kanye gave a 20-minute speech at the wedding discussing their celebrity status and included comments like, "They feel like it's OK to put you on the tabloid covers to sell your image, to use you in an SNL spoof....We don't negotiate. We're not like that. We're not stupid...The Kardashians are an industry!" He also referred to the reality TV family as "the most remarkable people of our time."

  1. Sometimes I truly feel sorry for these two and their spotlight wedding. Yes, they are both entertainers, and I'm sure this is engrained in their lifestyles-but you have to think they would want a little privacy.
