The bride-to-be says she is dreaming of something ‘classic and beautiful’. But with Kim Kardashian as a guest, ten wedding dresses to be worn by the bride over three days, and plans to televise the entire event, Paris Hilton’s forthcoming wedding will be a nuptials like no other.
Part fairy tale, part reality television series highlight, Paris, 40, is planning to marry entrepreneur Carter Reum today at her late grandfather’s mansion in Bel Air.
Paris is expected to be happy with this sixth engagement, which was rumoured. She has turned the unemployed heiress role into a profitable media empire. After 18 years of selling herself, she’s worth a reported £225 million.
So far she’s had three hen parties, including one in Vegas with stilt-walkers, another featuring a champagne vending machine and tins of sparkling water decorated with the faces of the bride and groom.
Paris In Love is her new TV show. Every last detail of Paris In Love has been captured. On her wedding day, the first episode of Paris In Love will be aired.
IVF has been completed on the bride, and she is hoping to get twins.
Who is coming to the wedding? How much will it cost? Is it worth the $2,000 crystal caviar servers she wants? ALISON BOSHOFF reported. . .

HOW LOVE BLOOMED DURING LOCKDOWN
Carter Reum (40), is her intended. Carter Reum has been a close family friend for fifteen years. Reum comes from money — his father, Robert, is the boss of Amsted Industries in Chicago.
Columbia University was his first choice and he is now a venture capitalist. He’s also written a book — about business rather than fame.
Paris began to date him in December 2019. He said: ‘From our very first date, I was able to get to know the real Paris.
‘As people who have seen her documentary and advocacy work know, Paris is kind, smart, driven, authentic and an amazing woman, and I can’t wait to have her as a partner in life.’
He added: ‘The good and the bad of a creative mind like Paris’s, her creativity flows out in music, and art, and all these things. Her creativity is also evident when it comes to cleaning the house. Every day is like a treasure hunt.’
Paris says the pandemic accelerated their romance: ‘The silver lining [of lockdown]My boyfriend and I are able to spend time with our pets. Our relationship has grown so much. The amount of time we’ve had together is what would normally take five years.’
HERE COMES THE FAR FROM BLUE BRIDE
A pretty hotels heiress with a taste for designer handbag dogs and a nice line in deadpan bons mots — ‘always walk round as though you have an invisible tiara’ — Paris Hilton became globally famous in 2003 when a sex tape featuring her and former boyfriend Rick Salomon was circulated. Paris deplored Salomon’s betrayal, but nonetheless she lapped up the attention and with it became America’s number-one It-girl.
The eldest of four children of businessman Rick Hilton and his socialite wife, Kathy, Paris’s late great-grandfather Conrad founded Hilton hotels.
The family lived in mansions in Beverly Hills, The Hamptons, as well as a Manhattan suite at Waldorf Astoria. In 2007, she was sentenced to a short time in jail for violating parole after being convicted last year of driving while impaired.
After cocaine was discovered in her handbag, she was charged with drug possession.
She said the bag couldn’t possibly have been hers because it was not a designer brand. A plea bargain was reached to settle the matter.
Paris, a successful DJ and social media influencer has seen global success over the past few years.
SEALED WITH A £1.5 MILLION RING
On her 40th birthday last February, Carter presented her with an enormous emerald-cut diamond ring, designed to his specifications by Jean Dousset — the great-grandson of Louis Cartier.
This diamond features a 20 carat emerald cut diamond. It is flanked by two diamonds in a shield shape. Small pave diamonds add sparkle. The inside of the item has Paris’ initial. Paris said: ‘I’m so obsessed with it. It has like 15 diamonds going around and then inside it has a “P” with a sapphire.’
FLASHY PROPOSAL ON TROPICAL BLEACH

Carter was dressed in a white dress to propose to Paris at a private beach on an island. Also present were her mother, sister and brother-in-law, plus Carter’s brother and parents — and a photographer.
Paris was dressed to impress and wore a long, sequinned gown with a veil and curious rhinestone-studded fingerless gloves.
In a podcast interview, she stated that she believed he would propose to her in December 2020 as they were celebrating one year of marriage.
‘When it didn’t happen, I didn’t say anything but I was a little bummed,’ she said.
She dropped a hint and was told: ‘When I do ask you, it’s going to be something even more amazing than this.’
After telling her to wear something nice to pose for photos, he got down to one knee and sat on the shore. She said: ‘I just started shaking and crying because I was so excited, so happy.’
On Instagram she wrote: ‘When you find your soulmate, you don’t just know it. It’s a feeling. You can feel it. . Carter arranged for me to go on a tropical vacation in celebration of my birthday. Carter led us along the shore to dinner, and then he took our place at a cabana decorated with flowers. He then dropped to one knee. I said yes, yes to for ever.’
VEGAS: WHAT HAPPENED. . .
They had a Las Vegas bachelorette and bachelorette celebration last month. After arriving on private aircraft, they took a red Rolls-Royce back to their hotel. Reports suggest that after clubbing and late-night zip-lining, they moved on to a marquee lit up with both their names, and gave pals memorabilia including rosé wine in tins labelled: ‘Drunk in love’
Paris had also hosted two Alice In Wonderland themed bridal showers. The first featured a champagne vending station.
‘I DO’ UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
Paris In Love will be ending with a wedding, which is sure to bring in a lot of viewers on the Peacock network.

Trailers for the 13-part show see Paris tearfully saying: ‘I just don’t want to be alone for ever.’ Yet in another clip she appears to be having some second thoughts, saying: ‘I want to make sure I make the right choice.’
Paris told chat show host Jimmy Fallon: ‘I wanted fans to see that I found my Prince Charming.’
WEDDING VENUE WITH FAMILY LINK
Paris and Carter will make their vows at her late grandfather Barron’s estate, where their initials have been spelled out in the flowerbeds and a huge dance floor has been built.
A source told celebrity website Page Six: ‘They were going to get married in church, but they switched it a week or so ago.
‘They sent out a save-the-date. They didn’t include the location, but [the reception] is going to be at Barron’s house.’

FAMOUS GASTS AND LAVISH GIFTS
Kim Kardashian Kardashian and Kris Jenner will definitely be there. Nicole, Sofia, and Lionel Richie are also expected to be there. Mindy Weiss is a party planner who’s been involved in numerous mega-parties for the Kardashians.
The couple have a £45,000 wedding gift registry through luxury store Geary’s Beverly Hills. Among the items is a £380 Hermes plate.
10 DREAM DESSES FOR RIVAL SISTERS
Paris says she will be wearing ‘lots of dresses, probably ten’. One trailer shows her trying on many dream dresses. Sister Nicky wore a £65,000 Grace Kelly-inspired gown by Valentino for her 2015 wedding to banking billionaire James Rothschild.
COULD IT BE THE SIXTH TIME YOU ARE LUCKY
This is possibly Paris’s sixth engagement. Her first fiance was model Jason Shaw — they got engaged when she was 21 and he 29, and he presented her with a pear-shaped diamond.
Paris claimed that she was too young for such a long-term commitment and they split just a few months after.
Paris Latsis was a Greek shipping heir who she engaged to for the second-time in 2005. After an eight-month romance, he gave her an incredible £3 million canary diamond ring which was so heavy that she complained it hurt her hand.
After four months, they were apart and she sold the ring to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
She began dating Doug Reinhardt, a former baseball player. They were believed to have been engaged in 2009. She said: ‘I would not rule out a wedding in 2010.’ But they split that year, with Reinhardt complaining he had spent £1.5 million lavishing her with gifts and holidays, while she hadn’t bought him so much as a cup of coffee.
River Viiperi (a Ibizan model) was her next serious boyfriend. He is also ten years younger than she. Reports suggested that they were engaged, but the couple split up in 2014.
Actor Chris Zylka proposed in February 2018 with a £1.5 million pear-shaped diamond ring. She called him ‘perfect for me in every way’, but they split nine months later.
THE PATTER PATTER OF TINY FEET
Paris claims that she had her eggs ready to implant after the wedding.
‘It’s something we’ve talked about a lot ever since we’ve been together,’ she said. ‘First the wedding, then the babies. IVF is something we have done for years, so I am able to select twins. I want twins, because then you get a girl and a boy at once.’
She wants to call her future daughter London and has a name picked out for her son — based on a geographical place — but she’s keeping that a secret for now.
