We've said it before and we'll say it again, it must be nice to be Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

The couple that just spent the weekend getting married in Italy, didn't spare any expense in doing so.

While we don't have the exact receipts for what everything cost, we know that the ceremony cost a good amount of money. According to Jinane Kafrouny, a top-of-the-line wedding planner, the approximate numbers just for the Italian portion of the ceremony cost about $2.8 million. What's not included in that estimate are the Paris rehearsal dinner, and the honeymoon.

The wedding specialist tells E! News, "Cost of such an event would approximately be 2 million euros excluding flights, hotel stay, and the French leg of the event."

She even goes as far as to breakdown a few of the key elements of the wedding.

Entertainment: The couple got Italian singer Andrea Bocelli to perform at the ceremony. Kafrouny reveals, "Bocelli normally charges from 100,000 euros to a million euros as long as the event is close to his home. Bocelli is probably their friend so the cost might have been low."

Food: "Catering companies typically charge between 300-400 euros per person for such a menu inclusive of the wine. Since there were approximately 200 people at the reception, the grand total would be somewhere near $110,000."

The Venue: This is the one number that we already knew. Kim and Kanye reportedly spent around $400,000 to hold their wedding at the historic Florence location.

Jewelry: The Kardashian clan allegedly was wearing a couple million dollars worth of jewelry that was probably on loan to them from Lorraine Schwartz, so that doesn't count into the final equation.

Jets: This family is definitely a fan of the private jet. Richard Hurrell, Hunt & Palmer Flight Services Manager, told E! that the estimated cost of carting 200 guests from Paris to Florence would cost somewhere between 37,500- 60,000 euros, a piece, per aircraft.

Lodging: The pair had reserved and paid for 100 rooms at the Westin Excelsior hotel to accommodate for most of the wedding guests. According to Joelle Edwards, who owns her own event company, an estimated cost for 100 rooms, for one night at the hotel, would be around 50,000 to 68,000 euros.

Paris Events: Two events during this portion of the nuptials were very costly, one being the performance of Lana Del Rey. Kanye flew Rey to the city of lights to perform some of Kim's favorite songs, and it wasn't cheap. We reported that the performance was going to cost the rapper around six figures but allegedly the songstress made $2.8 million off the gig according to E! News. Also the rehearsal dinner in Paris at Costes restaurant totaled about $3,300, and the pre-wedding ladies dinner was $410 per person.

We'll say it again, must be nice to be nice to be Kanye and Kim.

All the wedding goodness can be seen on the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians when it premieres on June 8 only on E!
