Keeping up with Kardashian Weddings

Love them or hate them, the Kardashians have been fascinating the world with their glamorous lives for 20 seasons of their famed reality show. As their last season ends we thought it a fun idea to look back at some of the many weddings that took place in this family over the years. While some were extravagant and expensive, others were more intimate and family-orientated – yet never lacking in sensational elements to keep their fans entertained.

Where it all began: Kris Houghton and Robert Kardashian

When a young Kris Houghton married Robert Kardashian in July 1978, little did they know the levels of fame their family would reach in the coming years. While this wedding was not as publicized as the future Kardashian weddings would be, some information about the event is known. Apparently the guest list was extensive, hats were all the rage and the infamous OJ Simpson was part of the wedding party. (In later years Robert Kardashian represented OJ Simpson at his murder trial).

Kris and Robert had four children: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob. The couple divorced in 1991 and Robert died of cancer in 2003.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

Kim’s second marriage was to basketball player Kris Humphries. The wedding was an elaborate celebration in Montecito: the couple changed outfits three times, Vera Wang couture featured heavily and the whole wedding was televised.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom

Khloe, the youngest of the Kardashian sisters was married to Lamar Odom in Los Angeles in 2009. The wedding was also televised and hosted at the home of a family friend, Irving Azoff.

Khloe wore a strapless Vera Wang dress with a lavender sash, while her bridesmaids also wore purple. The reception was held in a glamorous tent with chandeliers, mirrors and luxurious carpets. Babyface performed at the reception, and dancing continued ‘til the early hours of the morning.

The couple divorced in 2015.

Kim Kardashian married Kanye West in Florence, Italy in 2014. Her stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, walked her down the aisle and her sisters also played a role in the proceedings. Apparently the wedding only included 100 guests from their closest friends and family. In spite of the intimate guest list, the budget of the wedding was by no means small, costing a whopping $2.8 million in total.
