Kanye West and Kim Kardashian officially married, this afternoon, tying the knot in front of family and friends at the 16th century Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. Rick Ruben, John Legend, Tyga, Black Chyna and Big Sean were among those attending the union. The security at the gaudy event was real with the Italian army providing guard. Attendees weren't told about the exact time of the event until a text update two hours before it started. Those who entered the venue were reportedly relieved of their phones until the end and affixed with electronic bracelets in order to keep unwanted guests out. The newlyweds have already sold the exclusive photo rights to an undisclosed source.

The couple was engaged last October with Ye popping the question at San Francisco's AT&T Park. They welcomed a baby girl into the world the previous June.
