Kim Kardashian Wedding

With three days until Kim Kardashian's fairytale wedding to Kris Humphries, we can't help but try to piece together the details to Hollywood's hottest ticket. The Kardashians have pretty much kept Kim's wedding details sealed tight, but they have let a few important details slip.



We already know that Kim's 20 carat engagement ring cost a cool $2 million, and Kim has chosen a dress by designer Vera Wang, as she confirmed via her blog in early August. The friendly pair were spotted leaving the Vera Wang Bridal Studio in New York City together back in June.

Hayek's father is of Lebanese descent, while her mother is of Spanish descent. Her first given name, Salma, is Arabic for "safe". Raised in a wealthy, devoutly Roman Catholic family, she was sent to the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau, Louisiana at the age of twelve. While there, she was diagnosed with dyslexia.
