Hate on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West all you want, but chances are they probably don't care. They're too busy living their lives — and being madly in love with each other. Despite divorce rumors or claims that their relationship was just a publicity stunt, Kimye proved us all wrong! It's officially been a year since Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding and their marriage is still going strong.
Am I allowed to compare their nuptials to America's version of a Royal Wedding? Before that analogy is called a stretch, consider this: the photo of Kim and Kanye kissing in front of a wall of popcorn — I mean, roses — broke Instagram's record for the most-liked photo of all time. They also appeared on the cover of Vogue together, embracing the hashtag title of #TheWorldsMostTalkedAboutCouple.
To celebrate their anniversary, I've rounded up Kimye's greatest quotes about one other. Their words prove they're a match made in heaven. Sure, they may not speak in iambic pentameter like Shakespeare (could you imagine?!), but Kim and Kanye are romantic in their own way. In fact, 'Ye even compared their relationship to Romeo and Juliet's at one point... so it must be true, right?
Vogue Cover
In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Kanye went on a rant about his wife and how deserving she is of attention. He said, "There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue. She's like the most intriguing woman right now."
True Romantics
"He's the most romantic guy I have ever met. He's better than any movie or romantic novel. He is... so amazing, I was truly surprised," Kim said, during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show . She was talking about his super romantic proposal.
"I love this person"
In August 2013, Kanye appeared on mother-in-law Kris Jenner's talk show (remember that?) and gushed about Kim. He said,
I can have people saying this is going to damage your credibility as an artist or a designer, and I say I don't care, I love this woman. When the paparazzi surround you, people know you don't like paparazzi, and they say, 'Why would you be with this person?' I’m being with this person because I love this person, and she's worth it to me.
Awwww!
Kanye's Best Quality
When talking to Evening Standard magazine in London, Kim revealed that it was Kanye's idea to surprise everyone and move their wedding location to Florence at the last minute. She loves his spontaneity and optimism, saying, "That's my favorite quality of his. He literally thinks everything is possible. But, the craziest thing is, that it all happens."
A Dream World
In their Vogue cover story in April 2014, Kanye praised Kim, saying, "I’m really into fantasy as you know... Kim is like a fantasy, period. She’s like a dream girl and I think a dream girl should live in a dream world."
Romeo & Juliet
Are rappers and reality stars really like the Capulets and Montagues? I'm not totally convinced, but I still love this Kanye quote from a 2013 radio interview:
Our love story's a love story for the ages. I felt like when we first got together, it was like a Romeo and Juliet kinda thing where it's like she's a reality star and I'm a rapper, and people talking about how our brands connect and what doesn't fit and I'm just so tired of the conversation of brands. Why don't we start the conversation with love?
Step Brothers Reference
No wonder he's a rapper — Kanye has a way with words. Not only does he make literary references, but this movie reference is excellent. Here's another quote from him gushing about Kim in GQ. He said,
Like they said in Step Brothers: Never lose your dinosaur. This is the ultimate example of a person never losing his dinosaur... You mean to tell me that this girl with this f—ng body and this face is also into style, and she's a nice person, and she has her own money and is family-oriented? That's just as cool as a f—ng fighter jet or dinosaur! And just as rarely seen.
Like I said before, they're romantic in their own way... And what a wonderful way that is. Happy anniversary, Kimye!
