Is Kanye West trying to outdo the royal wedding? The rapper is reportedly planning an elaborate $5 million, two-week Italian wedding ceremony with Kim Kardashian. His surprise proposal is suddenly starting to look like a walk in the park compared to the actual ceremony.
Sources told OK! Magazine that West wants to have a destination wedding on the Italian island of Capri next summer, according to Hollywood Life.
"He's a making a public statement that his wedding tops all weddings throughout history," the source said.
Reportedly the "Black Skinhead" rapper leased Capri Villa's San Michele for 14 days for a reported $500,000 and has decided to go with a black, diamonds and gold color scheme. The source said West is prepared to spend any amount of money to make sure their special day is perfect.
"Kanye is friends with the three-star Michelin chef Massimo Bottura," another source said. "Sample menus have already been mocked up for Kanye to peruse."
To ensure that the couple's closest family and friends are able to celebrate the wedding with them West is paying for everything except the flight to Capri.
"We'll all have grand suites and all the events are on him," the source said.
In an interview with radio station Power 106 he said he and Kardashian wanted to tie-the-knot next summer and he wanted to have fighter jets at the wedding. He also said that he was considering having cameras there to capture the moment Kardashian says "I do."
This revelation shocked people since he has made it clear that he is not a fan of the paparazzi and the constant media attention.
"I would take as much as possible, if someone's gonna pay me to broadcast that," he said. "I was thinking about that the other day. People got all these perceptions of what they think makes something official and not official - what's official for everybody in this room and everybody on this glove right now is some bills. We can help those bills."
