'It's going to be big and very over-the-top': Notoriously private Kanye West 'plans to marry Kim Kardashian in an extravagant Parisian affair'

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'.

Wedding bells: Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are reportedly planning their wedding

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.
