You didn't think you had seen it all when it came to Kim Kardashian's wedding, did you?

We've seen the fabulous Givenchy Haute Couture gown, we've seen Kim and Kanye West indulging in their first kiss as husband and wife, we've seen the his-and-hers leather jackets. We even got to see what it looks like when a groom surprises his bride by arranging for international superstar Andrea Bocelli to serenade her during their ceremony.

But that was just the top of the six-tier cake.

E! News has exclusively obtained more never-before-seen photos from Kim and Kanye's lavish nuptials in Florence, Italy, including the first shot of the married couple posing with daughter North West, taken on the roof of the historic Forte di Belvedere after the ceremony. 

The image provides the sharpest view yet of the detailing on Kim's veil and gown and Kanye's brand-new wedding band, as well as a full-length look at the pint-size Givenchy dress created for North!

Another photo shows Kanye chatting with the bridal party after the ceremony in a bright, airy room that somehow illustrates all on its own the idyllic Mediterranean setting. Khloé Kardashian is holding North in the pic and Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner are gathered all around, each one in a white dress tailored to her individual style.

As Kendall later said, "We just wore some simple pretty gowns that Kim and Kanye picked out."

"The image was taken right after Kim and Kanye wed," Khloé tells E! News. "We were all discussing how calm and dream-like the wedding was. The peace in Kim and Kanye was undeniable. We all felt as if they had been married in another lifetime. I have always believed these two are soul mates."

Adds Kourtney: "It was right after they said their vows and we all came back to the fort. This picture is beautiful. Every moment was like a fairy-tale dream come true."

And in a third image there's Kanye before go-time having a quiet, sunlit moment with pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr., who performed the ceremony.

As per tradition, the groom had not seen his bride-to-be since the night before and had taken separate private jets from Paris to Florence, a culturally resonant destination very near and dear to their hearts, that morning.

Kim and Kanye swapped vows on May 24 in front of family, dear friends and an enormous wall of white roses at the 16th-century-era Forte di Belvedere.

The newlyweds will be celebrating daughter North's first birthday on Sunday, which also happens to be Father's Day—another reason to go above and beyond with the celebrating, as this family is so very fond of doing.
