Following almost a week of celebrations in Paris ahead of the nuptials, Kardashian, West and their 200-strong wedding party arrived in the Italian city just hours before the service.

According to People magazine, Rich Wilkerson Jr., a pastor from North Miami, performed the ceremony, while Andrea Bocelli sang as Kardashian was walked down the aisle by her stepfather Bruce Jenner.

Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner also spoke to E! news, telling them: "Such a magical, romantic wedding! I feel blessed to have my new son and his family as part of ours."

An eyewitness added: "A convoy of cars arrived at around 3pm local time. Kim was in the first car, which was a Mercedes-Benz. They drove the car right up and her assistant opened the door and Kim dashed in. She looked to be wearing white."

It is thought the couple will also hold their reception at Forte di Belvedere. They reportedly chose to marry in the city after their daughter North West was conceived there.

They became engaged last October after the rapper proposed at San Francisco's AT&T Park.
