“I’m the Luckiest Girl in the World” – Kim Kardashian
Reality show star, Kim Kardashian has expressed her excitement over Kanye West’s proposal and says that his proposal swept her off her feet.
“I am the luckiest girl in the world!,” The 33-year-old reality star said, “I get to marry my best friend!”
West and Kardashian have known each other for years, and West says it was love at first sight for him, “I was in love with her before I even got to talk to her,” the 36-year-old rapper said.
“Being in the limelight, you have to have a match, or someone that’s equally yoked. It’s difficult, because there’s people that you would date who would try to date you to maybe be more famous, or people who would want you to be less famous than you were, and just not accept who you are in life. And when I would be on the phone with (Kim), even at my lowest moments, she’d give me energy and remind me of who I was.”
After dating publicly for a little over a year and welcoming their first child together, daughter North, in June, West popped the question on Kardashian’s 33rd birthday Monday.
The rapper set up an elaborate surprise at San Francisco’s AT&T Park, which he rented out for the proposal and filled with Kardashian’s close friends and family members, after he had asked Kris Jenner, Kardashian’s mother for her blessing.
He proposed with a 50-piece orchestra playing Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful” followed by West’s own song with Keri Hilson, “Knock You Down”, fireworks, his “PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!” question flashing on the arena’s jumbotron; and a 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz sparkler, while Kardashian responded to his proposal with an enthusiastic “YES!!!”.
