Happy Anniversary Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries may have hilariously begun the process of severing ties after only seventy-two days of marital bliss, but thanks to their divorce proceedings being stretched out to truly stupid lengths, their marriage has now officially lasted a year in the eyes of the law. So, raise your glasses and join me in a toast to the two reality stars who have bizarrely used hatred to extend their union.

On August 20th of last year, Kim and Kris were wed in a lavish ceremony filmed for a special episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Numerous celebrities were on hand for the nuptials, and while many in the media joked about the impending union, I’m not sure any suspected it would end prior to the three-month mark. Spoiler alert: it did.

Given her passion for self-publicity, many blamed Kim for the disaster initially, but after Humphries gave more interviews and spent more time in front of the camera, the world started turning against him. The NBA player was booed at opposing arenas and even filmed a Funny Or Die video about embracing the negativity.

Regardless of who really sunk this battleship, there’s an outside chance both could wind up making it to the two-year mark. Kim has been desperately trying to get Kris to sign divorce papers for months, but he won’t do so, depending on what day he’s asked, either because she committed fraud by marrying him or because he’s too religious. Either way, his lawyers keep pushing everything back, and there’s no end in sight.

Here’s to hoping I don’t have to write an article just like this one year from now.
