Kim and Kayne are on honeymoon... in the most unexpected place.

Of all the places, where would you expect Kimye to honeymoon? Not here.

Kim and Kayne landed in their surprise honeymoon destination today – Ireland. Yes, you have that right, the couple that can choose any destination chose the “Emerald Isle”.

They are rumoured to be staying at the luxurious five-star Castlemartyr Resort (pictures below) – despite the staff “not commenting” on whether it was Kimye who booked the Presidential Suite of the 17th century resort. Castlemartyr boasts 10-room treatment spas, fitness studio, a Ron Kirby-designed golf course, four restaurants, and 800-year-old castle ruins.

They won’t be away from North for long though – the couple return to the States on Friday.

In case you didn’t hear – Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married on Saturday in a modest little ceremony at the Forte di Belveder in Florence, Italy, after almost a week’s celebrations in Paris, France.

Obviously unable to decide between two of the most iconic and exclusive locations in Europe, the understated parents decided on a palace-crawl – a pre-wedding party at Paris’s Palace of Versailles (see below for details), before flying their 600 guests to Italy in a private jet on Saturday morning for the official shindig at Florence’s Forte.

Now details of the ceremony are surfacing thanks to the guests’ love of social media. Kim’s mum and sisters have been Instagramming up a storm with pics from the reception’s photo booth (see, they are just like us), which is where we got to see Kris Jenner’s, um, eye-popping outfit.

The pair married in front of a wall of flowers (more than $100,000 worth, from Florence’s oldest florist, decorated the Forte), world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli performed, and both the bride and groom wore Givenchy. Nothing fancy, then.

In true Kardashian style, Kim had two dresses: a custom-made mermaid-silhouette gown in delicate white lace for the ceremony, and a short, cream-coloured Givenchy dress for the reception. Eleven-month-old North West didn’t miss out on the label, wearing a Givenchy white lace dress to match Mum.

Kim sisters were her bridesmaids, Bruce Jenner walked his stepdaughter down the aisle and Kim and Kanye were married by North Miami pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. and their first dance was to At Last, performed for the pair by John Legend.

Notably no-shows were Kanye's besties Jay Z and Beyonce. Beyonce instead sent the newlyweds a message that read: "Wishing you a lifetime of unconditional love. God bless your beautiful family."

However Jaden Smith (Kim's sister Kylie's date) made his appearance known in a white Batman suit.

The wedding party then got stuck into dinner at a marble table hoisted onto a specially-constructed platform that offered views of Florence's famous skyline. On the menu, pretty much everything - chicken, steak, salmon, tortelloni and as for drinks they sipped rose and gold Armand de Brignac Champagne. As for the wedding cake, nothing but the best (or tallest) with a towering 2m white cake and white icing with fruit layers.

And then Kanye spoke, and his speech was reportedly "at least" 15 minutes long. In his pre-wedding dinner speech the rapper described his beloved as "As beautiful as I am talented," so we can only imagine...

The pair chose Florence in part because their daughter North was conceived there, as Kanye describes it, "among the masterpieces of the Renaissance", when they were touring Italy for Kim's 32nd birthday.

This is Kanye's first marriage, and Kim's third.
