BLUSHING BRIDE: From cake tastings with mom to dress fittings with Vera Wang, E! has gotten it on tape for Kim Kardashian’s four-hour wedding special.

Kim Kardashian’s wedding vows will take maybe two minutes to say — tops.
But the TV special planned around her nuptials later this month will take up four hours of primetime TV.
The only thing brief about Kim’s nuptials to New Jersey Nets hoops star Kris Humphries later this month was how long they knew each other before getting engaged — six months.
Cameras have been rolling ever since the proposal in May.
E!, the channel that airs Kim’s reality show, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” is taking just six weeks — quick, as TV specials go — to put together the preparations with choice moments from the Aug. 20 wedding ceremony to create the two-part, four-hour-long special, “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event,” set to air Oct. 9 and 10.
“Cameras are shooting everything,” a source close to the show says. So far, they’ve captured:
* Kardashian’s celeb-filled bridal shower, which was held on July 23 in mom Kris Jenner’s backyard. Demi Lovato and Lindsay Lohan were among the guests, and TV chef/family friend Rachael Ray catered, according to OK Magazine. Two hundred bottles of her specially-created wedding fragrance were given away in the goody bag, Kardashian wrote on her blog.
* Her wedding dress fittings at Vera Wang’s Madison Avenue boutique. (The bridal gown designer is another family friend, Kardashian said in a tweet.)
* Cake tastings at Los Angeles’ Hansen’s Cakes, where prices start at $3.50 a slice. The happy couple is looking to get a $15,000 to $20,000 cake that will resemble the one at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s April wedding, reports Us Weekly.
* The bachelor and bachlorette parties in Las Vegas. Kardashian, her mother and sisters Khloe and Kourtney partied at Tao, while Humphries and friends were at nearby Lavo. At one point, Kardashian snuck into the boys’ bash to grab a kiss.
According to the official invite posted on E! Online, the wedding will be held in Montecito, Calif., and is a black-tie affair.
E! won’t start editing the hours and hours of footage until the wedding is over.
Kardashian’s wedding is expected to be a huge ratings draw.
Khloe’s 2009 wedding to Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom was turned into a two-hour special and pulled in 3.2 million viewers. It was the most-watched telecast in the network’s history among its core demographic, women 18 to 34.
