American businesswoman, socialite, television personality, model, and actress Kim Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries of the New Jersey Nets tied knot on August 20, 2011 in Montecito, California.
Kim donned on three dresses, including her wedding dress, made by close family friend and wedding dress design-rockstar, Vera Wang, and looked stunning in all of them. Her groom, Kris Humphries, wore a white Ermeregildo Zegna tuxedo blazer paired with a white tie and black trousers.
From estimations made by celebrity critics, the wedding reportedly cost about 20 million dollars and neither did the Kardashians or Humphries pay for any of it.
