Just last week E! News learned exclusively that Kim Kardashian already has her wedding dress picked out. What exact designer she's chosen is anyone's guess (and believe us, we're guessing).

And yeah, wedding gowns are a tad more exciting than wedding tuxedos (sorry, guys), but in this case, we're pretty interested in what the groom will wear. It is Kanye West, after all.

Kanye is a front row fixture and a designer himself. Not to mention labels like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Gucci have found their way into his rap lyrics.

So what does someone like Kanye wear on his wedding day? We've got a few designers we think are major contenders. Keep reading and decide for yourself: What will Kanye wear?

1. Givenchy

What You Need to Know: Riccardo Tisci has been the creative director of Givenchy womenswear since 2005, but in 2008 he took over menswear, as well. Givenchy was also on our list of designers we think Kim will wear. And it wouldn't surprise us if they both choose designs by the same label.

Kanye's Connection to the Label: Well, Kanye is basically besties with Riccardo. The designer referred to Kanye as his good friend in a recent February 2014 interview with Elle, and he famously created Kanye and Kim's Givenchy outfits for the 2013 Met ball.

Likelihood Kanye Will Wear Givenchy: Pretty High. Kanye and Riccardo clearly have some major mutual respect for each other, and what way to show his appreciation of his best designer friend than wear the label on his wedding day?

2. Cifonelli

What You Need to Know: Is the name Cifonelli not ringing any bells? Don't feel out of the loop if you haven't heard of this Italian suit label. Cifonelli started all the way back in the late 1800s in Rome. The brand is known for its exquisite tailoring and its history-making clientele, like Josephine Baker, who famously wore a Cifonelli suit.

Kanye's Connection to the Label: Whispers that Kanye would choose this brand for his wedding tux started when he visited Cifonelli at their Paris-based location earlier this spring.

Likelihood Kanye Will Wear Cifonelli: Medium. Just because Kanye had a suit-fitting with a brand doesn't mean he'll necessarily wear it on his wedding day. But Cifonelli has such a legendary past that we could see this Italian label making the Kanye cut.

3. Kanye West

What You Need to Know: Kanye has been a creator in the fashion industry for years now, so it is possible that he may wear a Kanye-designed wedding outfit. He first released his own shoe for Nike, the Air Yeezys, in 2009 and he also designed shoes for Louis Vuitton, Bape and has collaborated with shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti. In 2011 Kanye showed his womenswear fashion line DW Kanye West at Paris Fashion Week, and then in 2012 he showed again at Paris Fashion Week. Most recently, he's got a collab with Adidas that will launch this June.

Kanye's Connection to the Label: Um, it's Kanye.

Likelihood Kanye Will Wear Kanye: Medium. Kanye has designed menswear before, collaborating with A.P.C., but those designs were more streetwear and not so formal. Plus, creating your own wedding tux takes a lot of time and Kanye is a busy guy, but maybe he'll accessorize with something he designed—like his new Adidas shoes? Who knows?!

So, what do you think: What will Kanye wear?
