Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been surrounded by wedding rumours since they got engaged last October and amid claims that they are getting ready to tie the knot on May 24, reports have now suggested that this may be just one of the ceremonies, with them also having another two weddings.
Sources have said that Kim and Kanye's lawyers have recommended that they hold a ceremony in the US ahead of their Paris wedding in May, so the showbiz couple are now allegedly planning on having one wedding in Southern California and another two in France.
"Typically, the U.S. recognizes citizens getting married in France, but dealing with a foreign government and paperwork could be a nightmare," an insider tells Radar Online. "So just to make sure it's legal, Kim and Kanye will first be having a civil ceremony in Southern California."
"A religious ceremony has to be performed after a civil ceremony, never before," the French Embassy in Washington D.C. also explained to the website. "The minister, priest or rabbi will require a certificate of civil marriage before any religious ceremony takes place."

Being two of the hottest stars in the celeb world right now, we didn't expect the big day to be a quiet one and according to the sources, Kim is planning on having the best of the best.
"Kim will have at least three dress changes on the big ceremony day in France," the insider said, adding: "It will be over the top. Kim and Kanye want it to be the wedding of the century."
This comes after recent reports, that have since been denied, claimed that the couple may have been having some difficulties in terms of marrying in France because there were laws stating that they had to have resided in the country for at least 40 days prior to the wedding.
"Kim and Kanye were unaware until recently that France required a residency requirement prior to marriage," a previous source said. "Kanye has an apartment in Paris, but he doesn't live there full-time."
However, reps have since said that these are not true - looks like the Paris wedding may actually be going ahead then!
