Khloe Kardashian On Reliving Her Wedding on TV, Post-Wedding Weight Gain, and More (Plus, New Pics!)

When reality TV star Khloe Kardashian married L.A. Lakers player Lamar Odom just a few weeks after they met, her gorgeous fall wedding became the number one entertainment gossip news headline.

Her controversial decision to wed her dream guy so soon was feverishly debated all over TV and the web, so when it was revealed that their wedding footage would be aired in a 2-hour special on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, I just knew America would tune in, eye glued. The show, which aired on Sunday evening, broke records for E! when over 3 million viewers tuned in to see Kardashian and Odom reveal the shocking news to her family and then say “I do” just one week later.

Who needs a videographer when you’ve got a TV crew, right? Well, it certainly gave the happy newlyweds a chance to relive the memories, and the bride a chance to see all the behind the scenes reaction she wasn’t’ there for. What was that like? Kardashian took to her blog to share her reaction.

“It was both incredible and stressful reliving those crazy two weeks,” she blogged. “With the last minute wedding planning, and dealing with the different reactions of my family members -- it was difficult enough the first time around! LOL.”

Fans watched in shock as Khloe refused to tell her stepdad Bruce Jenner the news even after the planning had begun. Does she regret not clueing in dear ol’ dad? Yup!

“ My least favorite part was the whole Bruce issue -- how he found out and how I handled it. My emotions were so high and I was so defensive. At the time, I felt that Lamar and I were being attacked from every which way, and Bruce was just a bystander that spoke up during a time that I was so sick of hearing it. He didn't deserve to be treated that way. I'm grateful for having it taped because I got to see my actions and learn from them. I have apologized to Bruce hundreds of times and we are completely fine, but reliving that wasn't fun and it made me feel guilty all over again.”

We’re glad things are all good now for the two lovebirds. So good in fact, that the new Mrs. Odom has recently admitted to gaining a few post-wedding pounds.

"I stopped my QuickTrim diet for a little bit around the time I met Lamar," she tells E! News. "I was so in love, and I was at my perfect weight, and I didn't want to do it anymore. Since marriage, I've gained about five pounds."

We say who cares, as long as they’re happy. She looked amazing at her wedding, didn’t she? Did you tune in? Which part of the wedding was your favorite? (We loved the many shades or purple, and that gorgeous damask and rose cake!) For more wedding photos from their personal collection, check out her blog!

Details on Actress Marla Sokoloff’s Garden Wedding

On Sunday evening former The Practice star Marla Sokoloff wed love Alec Puro (a drummer for the band Deadsy) in Beverley Hills at hotspot Il Cielo, a popular Italian restaurant. Sokoloff arrived looking absolutely beautiful in the strapless Amsale Tyler dress with a black sash, holding a bouquet of all-white flowers, and accompanied by five bridesmaids and her two matrons of honor.

Il Cielo is known as one of “the most romantic restaurants in Los Angeles”, and the pair chose to wed under the stars in the restaurant’s Chapel Garden during an intimate ceremony in front of 100 guests. Mark’s Garden (a celebrity favorite!) designed warm colored floral arrangements featuring dark red roses, that were used to decorate the venue. To create the right ambiance, candles, twinkling lights, and chandeliers were also used for decoration. Guests were served fruit, puff pastries, and champagne during a pre-ceremony reception, where they sat at tables decorated with candles and roses and listened to classical music. The actual reception was a sit-down dinner, with dancing, and cake from Buttercake Bakery for dessert.

These gorgeous pics aren't actually from Sokoloff's actual wedding, but we wanted to give you an inside look at the venue itself. Do you love it as much as we do?

All-White Bouquets Are Everywhere –- We Love this Look!

No two weddings are the same, but we’re starting to notice that these days a few celebrity brides do have a little something in common -- a gorgeous all-white bouquet in hand! Ivanka Trump carried a lush bouquet of white stephanotis down the aisle to meet new husband Jared Kushner at a gold resort, and actress Milla Jovovich complemented her gorgeous 60s-inspired gown with a bouquet of white Phalaenopsis Orchids, Marroussia Roses, and Hydrangea, when she wed longtime love Paul Anderson in a gorgeous backyard ceremony. Reality star bride Khloe Kardashian chose the look for herself and her pretty-in-purple bridesmaids when she married NBA star Lamar Odom in late summer.

Though we’re usually all about great color combos, this is certainly a look we can get used to -- it’s beautiful, classy, and oh-so-sophisticated. What color is your bouquet?

A True Blood Song Inspired Stephen Moyer’s Proposal to Anna Paquin

A True Blood Song Inspired Stephen Moyer’s Proposal to Anna Paquin Actor Stephen Moyer didn’t have to look far for inspiration when he decided to propose to True Blood co-star Anna Paquin in August. He just borrowed from his character Vampire Bill’s onscreen mojo.

"There's a song Bill listens to in the car about a white sandy beach," Moyer told British Glamour magazine for the November issue. "So we decided to go away for a break – to a white sandy beach – and that's where it happened."

How sweet! He also reveals that the two kept their on-set romance hush-hush for almost 10 months until the day Paquin had to do an awkward love scene with their mutual friend and they thought it best he knew first.

Jay-Z Wants to Add Wedding DJ to His Resume (But You Better Book Him Early!)

Though rap mogul Jay-Z is famous for selling out crowds to see him perform his chart-topping hits, right now he’s considering taking a more backseat role and spinning the tunes instead – at a wedding near you! The rapper, who’s married to mega star Beyonce, plans to become a high-priced celebrity wedding DJ and shake things up a bit in that industry.

“I’ve got a whole plan,” explains Jay-Z. “I’m gonna get me a little Serato set, some DJ software. I’m gonna work on that for six months, then I’m gonna find out which DJ makes the most and charge double and tour, do bar mitzvahs, weddings.”

Why so pricey? He’s thinking (really!) big: “I’m gonna have video behind me and dancers. I’m gonna have people just go out and pour champagne when I get to a certain song. I’m going to make a whole show of this thing.”

Sounds like a party to us! Would you break your wedding budget to have Jay-Z rock your reception? We admit, we totally would, so according to him, we better give a move on!

“If you want to book me, book me early, because the prices will be a little better because when I get good, I’m really going to go for it."

Paris-Hilton-Approved Wedding Shoes (They’re Cute!)

Yup, you read right. Our favorite red carpet diva, Paris Hilton, is launching her own line of wedding shoes -- and they are "hot"! Each pair is at least 4-inches high, with a pink sole, so all you diva brides out there can still stand tall with these while adding a little something pink to your wedding day fashion. If you love what you see here as much as we do, they’ll be available at My Glass Slipper later this month, so stay on the lookout, because we’re thinking that since they're only $120 they're going to sell out fast.

So are you wearing super-high heels on your wedding day? It's the classic battle of comfort vs. style. In this case, we say style 1, comfort 0. Thoughts? Weigh in below!
