Kanye and Kim to marry in Florence

Rapper Kanye West and TV star fiancée Kim Kardashian will reportedly marry at a fort in the Italian city of Florence on May 24.

The celebrity couple are said to have spent hundreds of thousands renting out a 16th century fort in Florence for their upcoming nuptials.

There were recently rumours that the pair had picked an opulent chateau France for their big day but it has now been revealed that the duo have opted for Italy’s Florence.  

The couple have tried to keep details of their big day private – but a spokeswoman at the Florence mayor’s office has revealed that the couple are all set to get married at the 16th century Belvedere Fort next weekend.

The couple are said to have rented the newly renovated building, which is located next to Florence’s famed Boboli Gardens, for around $410,000.

Music star West, 36, proposed to the reality star on her 33rd birthday in October 2013. The pair have a daughter, North.

Following a torrent of speculation about where the couple will tie the knot they were featured on April’s cover Vogue with Kardashian wearing a wedding-style dress.
