Kim revealed over the summer that the couple had been grappling
with Kanye West’s bipolar disorder.
Kanye notably rented out AT&T Park, home of the
San Francisco Giants, to propose. West popped the question just ahead of his “Yeezus”
concert in San Jose.

Kardashian and West tied the knot during an elegant
2014 ceremony in Florence Italy, about a year after Kardashian’s divorce from
the former NBA star Kris Humphries was finalized.
