Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Wedding: Rapper Thrilled Jay Z Will Be Best Man at Paris Nuptials

Count Beyoncé and Jay Z in! The hip-hop couple is expected to attend Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's summer wedding in Paris. A source told Radar Online, that Jay Z and his wife sent Kardashian and West a confirmation that they will travel overseas for the ceremony.

The source also said that the "Magna Carta" rapper shocked his pal West when he also agreed to be the best man.

"The best news came when Jay sent a gift to Kanye with an inscription referring to Jay Z as the rapper's 'Best Man,'" a source told Radar. "The gift was a gold-plated, diamond-encrusted flask, delivered with a $10,000 bottle of scotch, for Kanye to have for his wedding day."

"Kanye was almost jumping up and down, he was so excited. He was running around Kris [Jenner's] house to find Kim saying, 'Baby, look! Look! Jay and B are coming!' Kanye has been begging Jay to reconsider his decision not to come to the wedding, an even more devastating decision that left Kanye groomsman-less when he declined being his best man during the televised nuptials," the source added.

According to Radar's source, Kardashian and West made some slight adjustments to the wedding and decided not to film the actual ceremony because too many of their friends were giving them flak about it. Reportedly, the couple used their daughter, North West, to get out of certain parts of their contracts.

"They used the loophole in Nori's contract that they can say no to any life moment she is a part of being filmed, so it would not be in breach of contract," the source told Radar. "E! understood in the end, because Kanye has been a trooper since joining the Kardashian clan. They are afraid of pissing him off. They will now film before and after the ceremony but not during."

Kardashian and West will say "I do" in Paris on May 24.
