Keeping Up with THIS Kardashian Would Send an Average Bride into a Tizzy
September 23, 2009
Ryan Seacrest wasn’t lying when he dubbed E!’s hit show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” back in October 2007. Because fast forward two years later and not only is Khloe Kardashian making it difficult to “keep up,” but she’s blowing the average bride and her average timeline out of the water! Set to wed Lamar Odom, current LA Lakers forwarding funk master, Kardashian decided to throw bridal norms to the breeze and blow right into her big day!
While it’s not unusual for Hollywood Hunnies to do what they want when it comes to wedded bliss (and then, undo… maybe even redo again), their standards almost never seem to match up with the rest of the world’s. For instance, most future “I do’ers” take their time courting and getting to know each another before giving the infamous “Will you marry me?” speech. Kardashian and Odom, however, said a big fat “ppppppffffffftttt” to that and set their wedding date a mere FIVE WEEKS after they met!
You heard me. After only twelve days of dating, they announced their engagement, and before the media had proper time to feast and recover from that winner winner chicken dinner, Kardashian and Lamar one upped ‘em again by announcing they’d already set the date… for this Sunday, September 27. Yowsas!
Without even batting an eyelash, Kardashian will take a couple of weeks to plan what the average bride takes 12-18 months to resurrect, proving once again, you’d need to run really fast (dare I even say, DASH?) to keep up. And with all this celebrity rushing, it’s left the rest of us all thinking – but not talking – about the giant, pink elephant in the room… how long until these “I do’s” turn into ”I do not’s?”
There, I said it. I hate that I said it, especially because I would die to be on the list of 200 receiving an invitation this week and will keep my fingers crossed until Friday, but I said it. I guess over the years, my little, celebrity luvin’ heart has learned to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. So, good luck Khloe and Lamar! Here’s to proving everyone wrong :)

Wow, you are very optimistic. I’m guessing she’s pregnant or this is just a publicity stunt since her sisters are getting all the attention.

Lamar is the man because he plays for the best team in the NBA….ask your dude he will agree with me. But if he says the cavs are better then he needs to take a long walk off a short pier!

OK… At first the Kardashian’s were intriguing which turned into being entertaining, but now they are just plain ANNOYING! I’m with you Mary, how long will it be before the I do’s become I don’ts? Should we start taking bets? — Mrs. Swift, if she is preggers why all of a sudden would Lamar “man up” and marry his baby mama? He clearly didn’t think that was important for the sake of his other children. And just when you thought Khloe was the only Kardashian with brains she goes and pulls something like this.

I would like to enlighten and share an interesting fact in regards to one of your suppliers. Kate Aspen…. You maybe losing some of your returning customers to myweddingfavors or their other retail sites brad has. As they are drop shipping out orders for their vendors, they are slipping in promotional flyers for theirs truly My Wedding Favors, Corner Stork Baby Gifts and their other retail sites with free shipping and other promotionals.
We have spoke with several customers that have mentioned these ads they have received in their orders from us, we have also received by fax for
verification of these promotional flyers. We have also sent orders locally so we know this is not an act of mistaken customers. We believe this is poor business practice trying to STEAL other venders customers and directing them
to their retail sites. We are appauled at the dirty dealings this company is doing when you are trusting them to Blind Ship but yet acting upon thievery for their own greed. Is this Hook and Bait?? So we maybe having to work that much harder to gain new customers since they are trying to steal our first time buyers.

Just like the old saying goes, within the pro’s head you’ll find couple of options, nonetheless , for a person with the beginner’s brain, the world is open up.
