KANYE PLANS TO WED KIM IN EXTRAVAGANT STYLE!! "ITS GOING TO BE BIG AND OVER THE TOP"

She's was married in 2011 during a glitzy $10 million televised affair when she exchanged vows with NBA player Kris Humphries - a union which lasted all but 72 days. 

And while Kim Kardashian has maintained that she wants to marry her baby daddy Kanye West in a more low-key ceremony, it seems the rapper has other ideas.

New reports suggest that the couple, who just welcomed their daughter North West into the world in June, currently have a 'wedding in the works' and the 36-year-old singer is planning something 'big'.

Last year Kim told U.K.'s Tatler magazine her ideal nuptials for a second walk down the aisle was

'on an island with just my friends and family and that's it.'

However, notoriously private Kanye is said to have his heart set on a lavish destination wedding in Paris, France, and it won't be by any means a small scale affair.

'He wants something really cool and big and over-the-top,' a source told Us Weekly. 'They'll most likely have a destination wedding.'

'Kanye has never been married before and wants a big wedding,' the insider added. 'So Kim is getting used to the idea again.'

However, a large wedding is difficult to keep underwraps, and for one of the most photographed couples in the world, impossible to keep out of the press.

But friends say Kanye, who has been adamant that the press-hungry Kardashian clan keep their new baby daughter North West out of the spotlight, wants the same for his wedding.

'It will not be televised,' a friend of the rapper told the magazine.

As well as privacy, Kanye is keen on making the event as chic and fashion forward as possible.

The rapper, who has strong ties to the fashion industry, is said to be turning to many of his designer pals to ensure it is a stylish affair.

'It won't be cheesy,' a source says. 'There will be a real sense of design.'

The Heartless star is also reportedly designing Kim's engagement ring all by himself.

'Kanye is very interested in design and decor,' the insider added. 'He will want to be involved in all of that.'

Friends of the notoriously grumpy rapper say that baby North West's arrival has made him a changed man.

Whilst he was mostly absent during Kim's pregnancy, spending a considerable amount of time in France ahead of North's arrival, pals say things have now changed significantly in Kim and Kanye's relationship.

'The baby has solidified their relationship,' a friend of Kim's told Us Weekly.

'They're doing really well. He (Kanye) has matured and grown a lot very quickly. He seems as lot more at peace. It's cool to see him so happy and calmed down. He's a natural father.'

Meanwhile Kim, who has yet to step out in public since the birth of her daughter, is continuing to work hard at her post-pregnancy figure.

The reality star is said to be intent on losing the 50 pounds she gained during her pregnancy, plus a little bit more.

Friends of the brunette beauty say the Kim won't walk down the aisle until she 'is a size 2'.

'Kim doesn't want to get married until her body is sick,' a source told Us.

Kim has reportedly lost 25 pounds so far by sticking to healthy eating plan and a twice-daily workout regime.

Meanwhile, Kanye is reportedly planning a promotional tour to promote his new album, but the couple's wedding is not far from his mind.

Friends of the star say he has been dreaming of marrying Kim ever since he met her.

'He has told his friends and family that he was going to wife her since the day they met,' a friend of the rapper told Us Weekly. 'And he is determined to do it.'

Meanwhile, Kim made her presence known on Tuesday, posting a silly video of herself on the Keek app.

In full hair and make-up (of course), the new mother filmed herself playfully sticking her tongue out before lovingly smiling at the camera.

Kim made her first post-pregnancy appearance in a brief video for her mother Kris Jenner's daytime chat show earlier this month.

In the pre-taped segment, she surprised the matriarch with a short message, saying: 'Hey mom, I just wanted to say congratulations on your new show. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there in person, but I’m just loving life a little bit too much at home right now.'

'But I watch you every single day and you are so amazing. You really are born to do this. I just want to say I love you and have an amazing show.'

Just as she did in the Keek clip, Kim looked happy and healthy for her public announcement.

Yet the last time she was seen in public was on June 12, donning an olive green dress.

And on June 29, her sister Khloe posted a head shot of her sleeping on the couch at home.

Kim's absence from the spotlight has been rather unusual for the reality star, who has relentlessly pursued media attention from the moment her sex tape was 'leaked' in 2007.
