The first official photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West as newlyweds have been released. The famous power couple, who married in Florence, Italy on Saturday 24 May, looked the picture of happiness in images that Kim posted on Twitter and Instagram. "Mr. & Mrs. Kanye West," she captioned the first snap which shows the blushing bride and groom walking hand-in-hand down the aisle . Kim,33, had kept uncharacteristically quiet about the nuptials and hadn't posted any photos of her wedding until days after the celebrations.
