Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are Engaged!

Kanye West gave his girlfriend of 18 months Kim Kardashian a birthday to remember with an elaborate marriage proposal.

The 36 year old rapper popped the question to the mother of his child on her 33^rd birthday on Monday with a whopping 15 carat diamond ring, estimated to be worth at least $1.6 million. Believed to be one of the most expensive celebrity engagemnet rings.

The elaborate setting for Kanye West's proposal

West had the entire event planned out, hiring out the AT&T baseball park in San Francisco and had the giant scoreboard flash up with ‘PLEASEEE MARRY MEEE!!!’. The Rapper proposed with a full 50 piece orchestra playing Lana Del Rey’s ‘Young and Beautiful’ and then his own hit ‘Knock me down’.

After she said yes fireworks exploded across San Francisco bay and her family and friends poured out of the dug outs to congratulate the newly engaged couple.

The next day Kim Kardashian took to Twitter and Instagram to share her joy of her new engagement, with the simple caption ‘YES!!!’.

The entire proposal was recorded for the US reality tv series ‘The Kardashians’ , to be aired later in the year.

Kardashian’s mum Kris Jenner described the couple as ‘a match made in heaven. I am so happy for both of my kids, Kim and Kanye’.

This will be the third marriage for the reality tv star, after her second infamous marriage collapsed after just 72 days of marriage to Kris Humphries.

A bit about me

Hi, I'm Becky, and I'm a third year English Language and journalism student at the University of Central Lancashire. I've always wanted to work in the magazine industry, particularly fashion magazines, even since I saw the first episode of Ugly Betty way back when I was 12. For some reason it instantly hit me that that was what I wanted to do with my life when I was older, not necessarily be Ugly Betty, but work at the fictional ‘Mode’ magazine.

I've always had an interest in fashion, with some of my earliest memories being walking round my nearest shopping centre with my mum and my auntie, all laden with bags.

As well as loving fashion I also love beauty and skincare. For some reason makeup fascinates me, it’s like art. I could spend hours watching makeup tutorials and swatching cosmetic items at beauty counters. I someday dream of being the beauty editor for a top woman’s glossy magazine and want to try and do anything that will help me succeed with my dream!
