No bride-to-be wants to deal with last minute issues when planning their wedding, but reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her fiancé have reportedly hit a huge roadblock. According to Radar Online, Kardashian and Kanye West have just learned that French law requires a 40-day residency prior to a wedding taking place.
The couple was planning on tying-the-knot in an elaborate ceremony in Paris on May 24. According to this law, which Radar says is very strict; Kardashian and West may have to get married somewhere else.
According to the site, before Kardashian and West say "I Do" at least one of them has to have lived in Paris prior to the date of the ceremony.
"All marriages must be performed by a French civil authority before any religious ceremony takes place," the French Embassy in Washington D.C. told Radar. "The mayor can authorize the deputy mayor or a city councilor to perform the ceremony in the town in which one of the parties to be married has resided for at least 40 days preceding the marriage. These requirements cannot be waived."
A source close to the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star told the gossip site that the couple was not aware of the law until recently.
"Kanye has an apartment in Paris, but he doesn't live there full-time," the source said.
Recently, the rapper announced that he was postponing the Australian leg of his "Yeezus" tour. West said it was so he could work on his album but Radar alleges that it could have something to do with the wedding.
According to reports, this isn't the only difficulty the two are having. Star magazine claims that the 33-year-old reality star is overwhelmed by the wedding process and wants things to slow down.
"Kim feels like everything just happened so fast - the pregnancy, the wedding planning, everything," the source said, according to Classicalite. "She was hoping to have a long engagement, but Kanye pushed to have the wedding ASAP. And ever since North was born, he's been smothering Kim. He's become extremely controlling of her and their wedding."
The source also claims that the 36-year-old rapper has pretty much taken over the wedding.
"He hired multiple event planners, and he calls them 10 times a day for updates," the source said. "If they can't make his vision happen exactly as he wants it, he's outright rude. It's gotten so bad, one of them recently quit."
