NEWSWorld Exclusive: Inside Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom's Dream Wedding
Oct. 1 2009, Published 7:45 a.m. ET
Keeping up with reality TV's most famous family just got more exciting: After a month of dating, Khloe Kardashian, 25, married her L.A. Laker love, Lamar Odom, 29, on Sept. 27 — and the details of the wedding are as head-spinning as their whirlwind romance! OK! brings you inside their spectacular star-studded bash in this week's issue.
More than 250 guests — including bridesmaids and sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner and celebs Ryan Seacrest, Kelly Osbourne and Kobe Byrant — arrived at family friend and music mogul Irving Azoff's sprawling Beverly Hills manse for the black-tie affair.
At 5:12 p.m., Khloe, in her custom-made Vera Wang gown, walked down the aisle on the arm of her stepfather, Bruce Jenner -- her beaming mother, Kris Jenner, looking on with pride.
After the rings were exchanged (Khloe's 2.5-carat Vartan Fine Jewelry micro-pavé platinum band matched that of her 12.5-carat Vartan engagement ring; weighing in at 9.35 carats, Lamar's Vartan platinum band had its share of bling, too) everyone retired to a massive marquee for a nightclub-themed reception organized by celebrity wedding planner Sharon Sacks, the woman behind the nuptials of Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera.
The evening featured a surprise serenade of "You Are So Beautiful" performed by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, an endless supply of Perrier-Jouët champagne and emotional speeches, including one from Kris, in which the proud mom choked up, saying, "Everyone knows I boohoo in public!"
