At Kimye's Wedding, "Their Toilet Was the Star"
On Thursday, Page Six published a tour de force Domesday book of outrageous Kimye wedding minutiae that, while not exactly in keeping with the party line regarding Kardashian-West nuptial coverage, makes up for it by being a black diamond custom-cut marble trove of previously unreported fantastical details. From its tragic revelation of the fate of an army of broken, headless nude statues, to its breezy dismissal of a pitifully dehydrated Andrea Bocelli, it reads like fan fiction written in tears at the Versace mansion while mainlining liquid gold.
Read it in its entirety before bed, so that you can have incredible dreams.

Kanye then gave a 45 minute toast to himself.
As a bonus, this anecdote about Kanye sawing and screaming, which must be presented in its entirety:
Kanye returned one hour before the wedding and didn't like the all-white bar that was in front of the Gold Toilet Tower. He took a saw, and started sawing it in half himself. Two men held the bar stable as he sawed, and sawed, into the bar, defacing the entire front, screaming at everyone around him. He said it looked like a bar from Texas. Then he ordered two pieces of raw wood to be nailed onto the front of the bar. Once the wood was in place, "Now," he said, "It's art."
