"Drumroll, please! Introducing the No. 1 couple in our Top 10 Over-the-Top Weddings of 2009: Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom, who were married on September 27, one month to the day after they met.The newlyweds in October. They&amp;amp;#8217;ve been married for less than a month&amp;amp;#8212;and known each other for less than two months&amp;amp;#8212;here. (Crazy!) The pair, who were introduced at a party Khloe hosted for Ron Artest, Lamar&amp;amp;#8217;s L.A. Lakers teammate, in August, were hearing wedding bells just three weeks later. A few days after proposing (and after the wedding planning had begun), the groom-to-be presented his future bride with a 9-karat radiant diamond on a pave band. Holy bling! Silver and white invitations were sent to guests&amp;amp;#8212;including Kobe Bryant, Brittny Gastineau, Chelsea Handler, Kelly Osbourne, Ryan Seacrest, and Lala Vazquez&amp;amp;#8212;just days before the event. According to People.com, guests began arriving more than an hour before the black-tie affair (at which BlackBerrys were banned&amp;amp;#8212;say what?) for a pre-wedding reception. During the ceremony, a 10-piece orchestra played. Khloe, wearing a Vera Wang gown, was walked down an outdoor aisle at the home of music mogul Irving Azoff, a family friend, by her stepfather, Bruce Jenner. The couple said their vows under a trio of arches covered with hundreds upon hundreds of white roses created by celebrity florist Mark&amp;amp;#8217;s Garden. (Click here for wedding pics!) In addition to sisters Kim and Kourtney, the bridal party included Khloe&amp;amp;#8217;s half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie, and actresses Khadijah Haqq, Malika Haqq, and Lauren London. The bridesmaids wore gowns in varying shades of lavender and carried white roses. After the ceremony, the party moved to a tent outfitted with dark wooden walls, white carpeting, chandeliers, and silver mirrors. Centerpieces&amp;amp;#8212;with calla lilies, exotic leaves, roses, and lavender&amp;amp;#8212;were arranged in high-reaching glass vases. (Have I mentioned my fear of extra-tall centerpieces yet?) A four-course dinner included chilled tomato soup, melon and fig salad, wild salmon or filet mignon, and a dessert trio, all followed by slices of a towering, four-tier wedding cake. During the reception, Babyface sang and a DJ flown in from New York kept guests dancing &amp;amp;#8217;til 11 p.m. Are any of you marrying a guy after knowing him for just a month? Was anyone engaged in a matter of weeks? Do you think Khloe and Lamar will last? Or was their marriage made for TV? The rest of the best weddings from this year: * No. 2: Heidi and Spencer.
