Fortunately, the peeps over at TMZ got a copy of Kim and Kris' special day bill of fare, and by all accounts, it's pretty damn boring.
Planning a wedding? Forget the canapes and poached salmon. Wedding planners are starting to get a little more fun and a lot more creative when it comes to catering.
