Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries officially married


Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian are officially husband and wife. E!, the TV home of the Kardashian family, and People, which is paying big bucks for exclusive photo rights from the wedding, confirmed the news Saturday night (Aug. 20). The couple exchanged vows in a ceremony in Montecito, Calif., near Santa Barbara, she in a Vera Wang dress and he in an Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo. It's the second marriage for Kardashian, 30, and the first for Humphries, 26. Famous faces among the very large roster of wedding guests included Eva Longoria, Demi Lovato, Lindsay Lohan and Ryan Seacrest, who executive produces "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and its various spinoffs. Several of Humphries' New Jersey Nets teammates and other NBA players, including Carmelo Anthony and Lamar Odom (who's married to Kim's sister Khloe), were there too. In case you haven't yet had your fill of Kardashian wedding coverage, E! says it will air a special edition of "E! News" at 6 p.m. ET Sunday with some footage of the wedding, and the People issue with wedding photos hits newsstands Friday. That all precedes E!'s four-hour, two-night special on the wedding, which apparently will take a little time to edit, as it's not airing until October.

Because Wright is Christian and Blitzer is Jewish, the duo opted for an inter-faith ceremony, with both a reverend and a rabbi presiding.
