It was one of the most talked about weddings in pop culture history. See, nearly a week later, and we're still talking about it. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West tied the knot in Italy this past weekend. Neither have ever been spotted in Shreveport, or have relatives here. So where's this connection coming from?

Easily the third most talked about human involed with the wedding, was the guy officiating it. No not Leonardo DiCaprio, I'm talking about Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Pastor Rich and his wife lead The Rendezvous, a ministry of Trinity Church in Miami, Florida. Where the heck is this Shreveport connection??? Aren't you going to ask about his wife?

DawnChere' Duron is her name. If you're from our area, the last name should ring a bell. DawnChere's parents are Pastors Denny and DeAnza Duron, who founded and pastor Shreveport Community Church, and also founded Evangel Christian Academy.

I actually lived with the Durons after graduating from Evangel in 2009, and have been extremely close with the family for most of my life. You could imagine my surprise when I read the People Magazine article about the super hot pastor who married Kim & Kanye. I've met Rich a few times, and can say he is truly the real deal. He travels to Shreveport often, and speaks at Shreveport Community Church every chance he gets.

Next time he's in town, you should check him out! Who knows, maybe there will be a Kimye sighting?

See, you just never know where little ol' Shreveport will pop up!
