Kim just had to get through a little drama first. First there was Khloe’s hangover, so intense that she slept as a glam squad handled her hair and makeup, then the revelation that Rob had split and, finally, Kim’s fears her cathedral-length Givenchy veil—matching her custom lace mermaid gown with illusion cutouts—was so heavy it might “make me trip and fall right on my face.”
But when she made her way down to a waiting Kanye she didn’t stumble once. Even as she caught sight of famed Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli belting out “Con te Partiro.” The singer-songwriter is a favorite of both Kim and her late father Robert Kardashian so he was an appropriate choice for the processional, Kim just assumed they’d use a recorded version. “I thought I was walking to the aisle to his CD playing,” she told E! News. “But when I got to the altar, I did a double take and screamed. I couldn’t believe he was there himself.”
The surprise, arranged by Kanye, left her feeling “like I was walking down the aisle with my dad.”
