Khloe and Lamar Faux Wedding... WTHeck!

America has been taking peeks into the Kardashian home and lifestyle for quite a while, so it comes as no surprise that the wedding of my favorite Kardashian sister, Khloe, to famous Laker, Lamar Odom, was televised.  The couple shared their wedding with viewers on Sunday night on a two-hour special of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.  I joined the throngs of people who tuned in to see the deets!  Afterall, celeb weddings are always ridiculously fab, right?

Only 30 days after meeting, their lavish nuptials took place on September 27, 2009 and were filmed at the private estate of legendary music manager Irving Azoff.  Participating vendors include Mark's Garden, Vera Wang, Lehr & Black, Sharon Sacks Productions and Hansens Cakes to name a few.  About 250 guests arrived after receiving last minute invitations.  The wedding ceremony was beautiful and the reception was swanky and chic.  I was incredibly impressed with how quickly and seamlessly this affair came together in such a short period of time.

But what is this I hear?

It was FAKE!  Get the heck outta here!  It can't be true, right?  I mean after all, tears were flowing, joy was filling the air... even angels were singing.  But according to an article on the Huffington Post, this was all a BIG FAT fake wedding.  Apparently, following on the heels of the much publicized wedding of Kendra Wilkinson of E!'s Kendra, whose televised wedding to NFL player Hank Baskett earned her show's highest-ever ratings, the show's producers thought this might be just super to do the same for the Kardashian clan.  Afterall, Kendra's last minute wedding created a boatload of buzz so why not boost the Kardashian show's ratings?  I'll tell you why...because people expect the truth!  HELLO!! *sigh*

I post this tidbit because we are Backstage Bridal after all and I can't very well be Backstage without taking a sneak peek behind the scenes of weddings.  In keeping with the truth of being Backstage, I bring you the truth, raw and sometimes uncensored.

NOTE: This is not to negate any feelings Khloe and Lamar may feel for one another or the impressive work that my talented peers (wedding pros) did in pulling off this spectacular event.  Khloe and Lamar may very well be head-over-heels in love.  And I know, from experience, that the wedding pros who were involved in this affair worked their booties off.  (KUDOS to great wedding peeps!)

However, according to the Huffington Post, no pre-nups have been signed and no legal marriage has taken place to date.  In fact, the ceremony was scripted and TMZ has the proof... (don't they always?)  In the audio link provided, the producers are heard debating a line from the wedding script.

I love all things surrounding love... and I loved watching this show on Sunday.  But this just proves what I have always said about reality TV... Reality TV isn't reality.  You want reality...come to Backstage Bridal! 

Whether this wedding was real or faux, it was still amazing and the work done should certainly be applauded!

What is so exciting to me about this whole thing?  Well, because of the fantastic vendors who were a part of this shindig... Hansens Cakes will be participating at Backstage Bridal and you will have an opportunity to meet them in person and taste their wares.  Mmm, mmm, good!
