"'Kim's way more beautiful than I am talented." Kanye West at their wedding

If he's the King of egos, then she's the Queen of vanity.
But for once Kanye West played the doting courtier as he came out in full praise of his bride on Friday evening - and the setting could not have been more fitting.
The rapper gushed while celebrating a pre-wedding party in Versailles' iconic Hall Of Mirrors, which no doubt provided the happy pair ample opportunity to admire themselves.

According to US Weekly, Kanye spent the night gushing about his love for Kim. A source said: 'Kanye kept making the cutest remarks to her. He said, It's amazing to look around this room, there are so many talented people.'"
'Then Kim said, "And beautiful people."' Kanye replied, "Yeah, but Kim's way more beautiful than I am talented." It was so sweet - he said a couple adorable things like that. They seemed so happy.' 
Lana del Rey supplied the entertainment at the opulent engagement party, taking the stage to serenade Kimye - upon Kanye's special request - with her song Young And Beautiful and went the extra mile by performing three songs in total.
Kim is said to be a 'huge fan' of the 27-year-old singer and Kanye hired an orchestra to play her hit Young And Beautiful when he proposed to the reality show star at the San Francisco AT&T park last October.

The rapper then requested the singer to perform his bride-to-be's favourite song - which was made famous in the Leonardo DiCaprio film The Great Gatsby - at their lavish party in the Hall Of Mirrors.
Although, according to Entertainment Tonight, the Summertime Sadness artist was late to the event, forcing Kimye to take the stage and entertain their guests, even poking a bit of fun at Del Rey's tardiness.
Earlier that same day Lana was spotted rehearsing in the hallways of the Palace, preparing for her performance later that night.
'Best man' Jay Z and Beyonce were not thought to have been at the event but are still thought to be attending the wedding.

According to tmz the rapper hired controversial magician David Blaine who worked his way around the crowds performing tricks.
From inside the party Giancarlo Giammetti, the honorary president of the Valentino Fashion House, shared snaps of the happy couple as they took the stage to greet guests.
Giammetti also posted a family portrait of the bride-to-be with her mother Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie with the caption: Keeping up with a great family'.
The fashion maven even captured a rare moment with Kanye smiling as he gazed lovingly at his fiancee as they greeted guests within the Hall Of Mirrors.
Fireworks were said to have been fired off over the Palace grounds during Del Rey's performance as female musicians wearing Marie Antoinette-inspired frocks and wigs were seen preparing to perform.

Attendants at the fete wore baroque costumes, in keeping with the 18th century Palace, as ornate cakes were brought in, according to E! News, for the decadent wedding feast - that is reported to have featured wild salmon and a large salad buffet.
A source told tmz that there was no expense spared when it came to the food: 'It was all French stuff. Pretty much everything was truffled.' The site adds that the jars of caviar with blini were 'other-worldly.'
A Palace worker at Versailles told Entertainment Tonight that 1,000 bottles of rosé champagne was on hand for the 100 guests in attendance.
Party-goers were also given full access to roam the Chateau grounds, and even explore any of the many rooms in the Palace. Horse drawn carriages were also provided for attendees.
US Weekly reports that guests were greeted by men on horseback and handed a glass of Ace of Spades champagne, before being shown into the famous Hall of Mirrors, where an orchestra dressed in 17th-century ensembles sat underneath the chandeliers.
According to the insider, the baroque costumed workers at the Palace were given instructions not to speak to Kimye's guests, who were given free reign to enjoy the Palace's many delights.
