There is a lot of wedding stuff going on in my life at the moment. We’re under the 90 day mark and it just occurred to me today that I actually have to investigate getting our marriage license. Also, I have a ton of work to do on the sheet music for the choir. Yay?

But these two articles caught my eye yesterday on Boston.com. They were not, interestingly enough, in the wedding section which I have been known to check out from time to time. They were in “related links” in the footer of an article that I was reading and then one led to the other.  The articles in question are linked and pasted with my super witty commentary.  You know you want to read my commentary.  Prepare for snark.

Article the first:

Kardashian, Humphries wed in TV-friendly ceremony

Kardashian, 30, and Humphries, 26, tied the knot Saturday night in the exclusive Montecito area near Santa Barbara,Calif., Kardashian publicist Jill Fritzo told People magazine and E!  The ceremony will be televised as a two-part special on E! in October.

It is the first marriage for Humphries, who last played for the NBA’s New Jersey Nets, and the second for Kardashian, star of E!’s “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” She was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.

People and E! reported Kardashian wore an ivory gown designed by Vera Wang. Her stepfather, Bruce Jenner, walked her down the aisle in front of 440 guests, including Demi Lovato, Mario Lopez, Eva Longoria, Sugar Ray Leonard, Alan Thicke and Lindsay Lohan.

Kardashian’s gown had a tulle skirt, basque waist and Chantilly lace, and was matched with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, the media outlets reported. The bride planned to wear two other Wang dresses before the night and the party were over.

Her sisters and TV co-stars Kourtney Kardashian, 32, and Khloe Kardashian, 27, served as co-maids of honor.

The groom wore a white peak lapel tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants and, a white shirt and a white bow tie, all designed by Ermenegildo Zegna.

Kardashian and Humphries began dating late last year and announced their engagement in May. He proposed on bended knee with a 20.5-carat ring by spelling out “Will you marry me?” in rose petals.

Since the couple’s engagement, the pending nuptials have provided constant fodder for the media and the Kardashians, who posted updates about the wedding on their blogs and websites.

The waves of hype that preceded the ceremony didn’t seem to faze the bride.  Earlier this week, Kardashian said she was “totally calm” about the much-hyped ceremony.

“I think that freak-out moment kind of already passed,” she said at a party Wednesday to launch her new clothing line at Sears.

Ok, things about this:
1) I know very, very little about Kim Kardashian and I didn’t know anything about her sisters or that her stepfather was Bruce Jenner until I read this article.
2) Kim Kardashian has psoriasis and has gone public about it.  I have it, too, but she has it MUCH worse than I do.  For someone who makes her money by being pretty I kind of, kind of, think that’s cool.
3) My wedding shoes are also by Giuseppe Zanotti.  I paid WAY less than half of retail for them and I LOVE them.  I’m not sure how I feel about the fact that she also wore Zanotti shoes.  I’m not actually sure I care.
4) A 20.5 carat ring?  Seriously?  Sell that crap and do some good with it, OMG.  Ahem.
5) Peak lapel tux?  That’s SO out, sash lapels are where it’s at.  Duh.
6) Anybody else surprised to see Alan Thicke on the list of celebrity guests?
7) She reportedly spent $15,000 on her wedding cake. WHAT????
