"Lamar's devotion makes me want to cry because the only other person who gave that to me was my dad" - Khloé to Life & Style

Khloé Kardashian understands the haters. In fact, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is the first to admit that her whirlwind romance with basketball star Lamar Odom -- who has a $33 million contract with the LA Lakers and whom Khloé wed after just four weeks of courtship -- might arouse suspicions that she's simply after his money. In a new interview with Life & Style, she sets the record straight and opens up for the first time about falling in love, fighting the rumors and being ready to start a family. "The media definitely stir things up," she tells Life & Style. "So many people judge us. They don't know me or Lamar -- we're so happy."

L&S: Looking back, do you wish you'd waited longer before getting married?
Khloé: No. I really wouldn't have done it any other way. Many people have judged me, but I don't care how it looks to someone else. We're completely content, and that's the best feeling in the world.

L&S: How is Lamar different from other men you've dated?
Khloé: I've just never felt deserving of this kind of attention before. Every single night before I go to sleep, he tells me how beautiful I am and how lucky he is to have me. I know it sounds cheesy, but I've never in my life met someone who I love this much. Lamar's devotion makes me want to cry because the only other person who gave that to me was my dad.

L&S: Asked when he wants to start a family, Lamar replied "soon." What's your take on kids?
Khloé: He's said that kind of stuff to me in private -- but I was shocked when he said it publicly! I didn't know he was that comfortable talking about it. Lamar wants to start having children tomorrow. He already has two beautiful children, Destiny and Lamar Jr., but he can't wait for me to have more kids and form this new family. I know how happy he would be, and I'd love to have kids. But ideally I want to wait at least until we've settled into our new house.

Kim Kardashian is back together with her long-term boyfriend, NFL running back Reggie Bush, and her stepbrother Brody Jenner couldn't be happier about the news.

"I love it. I was just with [Reggie] the other night," Brody tells Life & Style.

"I personally think Reggie is one of the nicest human beings I've ever met in my life. I think he would be an incredible partner for Kim," he said, adding that she'd be great for him too.

The couple reportedly reunited immediately after the wedding of Kim's sister Khloé to Lamar Odom last month.

Even though reality star Khloé Kardashian recently shed 25 pounds, bloggers were calling her a "monster beast," "Kong," "Bigfoot" and a "fat skunk" after she walked down the aisle in her fairy-tale Vera Wang wedding gown and tied the knot with Lamar Odom on Sept. 27. And fellow reality stars added to the unfair ridicule. Supermodel Janice Dickinson attacked the star saying, "There's no way she would become a fashion icon. Khloé looks like a heifer." And Spencer Pratt recently said, "Khloé still needs to work out more. I recommend she go to theheidimontagworkout.com so she can get fantastic curves like my wife's."

But the feisty newlywed, who dropped from a size 10 to a 6, isn't taking the comments laying down. "Everyone criticizes me about my weight all the time," Khloé tells Life & Style. "It's easy for me to be like some other girls in Hollywood -- not eat and become anorexic -- but thank goodness I am strong-willed and secure with myself." Self-confidence didn't always come easy for the Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami star. "When I was a chunky little 8-year-old and I had these two beautiful sisters, I'd wonder, why don't I look like that?" Khloé remembers. "Now I hate it when people compare me to my sisters. Kourtney's 5 feet, I'm 5-foot-10 and Kim is 5-foot-2. I will never look like them. No matter how skinny I am, that body will never be mine."

Still, the attacks continue. "Khloé should be put out to pasture," Janice Dickinson says. "She should be kept in the stables along with the rest of that family. I think she's a little pig. The whole family is piglike." Comments like that once would have left Khloé in tears. But these days, she's brimming with confidence thanks to her new healthy diet and fitness plan. "Khloé's in the best shape of her life, and millions of people would kill to look like her," Kim told Life & Style as she was leaving STK restaurant in LA on Oct. 2. So even though Khloé was unfairly ridiculed on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, in the end she's getting the last laugh: She has the perfect body and the perfect man. "Way before, I was a size 10. Then I went to an 8, and now I'm a 6," Khloé tells Life & Style. "I don't think with my bone structure I could get much smaller than a 6. This is my body -- and I love it."

Here comes the bride -- and the drama! Having dated only since Aug. 27 and
having planned a wedding in just two weeks, Khloé Kardashian and NBA star Lamar Odom experienced plenty of bumps in the road on their way to tying the knot in LA on Sept. 27. For starters, the mother of Lamar's two young children wouldn't allow the kids to attend the ceremony, and Khloé's stepbrother Brody Jenner was a no-show stemming from his girlfriend's involvement in a lawsuit against wedding guest Joe Francis. Plus, the marriage between the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and the LA Lakers forward might not be legally binding because there wasn't enough time to draw up a prenuptial agreement beforehand!
Despite all the hubbub and the ceremony's starting 42 minutes late, Khloé, 25, got her dream wedding, set at music mogul Irving Azoff's mansion. "The wedding represented everything that Khloé is: beautiful, romantic and playful," Lara Spencer, a wedding guest and host of The Insider, tells Life & Style.

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom turned their monthlong relationship into marriage Sunday, when they tied the knot at Irving Azoff's home in Beverly Hills.

Khloé, wearing Vera Wang, was walked down the aisle by her stepfather, Bruce Jenner. "Vera Wang happens to be a very good friend of ours," Bruce tells Life & Style. "Khloé actually picked out her wedding dress before she told me [about her engagement]!"

Despite all the drama leading up to the big event, the wedding went off without a hitch.

"Khloé was a vision, completely flawless," a guest and close family friend tells Life & Style. "She had a glow to her. You could tell the way she acted around Lamar that they're madly in love. It was so moving."

Khloé's older sisters Kim and Kourtney, as well as her half-sisters Kendall and Kylie, were in the wedding party. The bridesmaid dresses were purple. "Purple is Khloé's favorite color," notes the guest. "The theme was purple...purple invites, purple programs, etc."

"Kris Jenner [Khloé's mom] got emotional during her speech and spoke of how proud she is of Khloé and how Khloé's [late] father, Robert Kardashian, would've been so proud."

An eyewitness tells Life & Style, "It was a casual wedding because guests were not dressed for black-tie. Women wore cocktail attire and guys were in suits."

As guests, including Lamar's LA Laker's teammate Kobe Bryant, Ryan Seacrest, Chelsea Handler and Brittny Gastineau partied the night away, E! cameras captured the whole ceremony and reception for an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

The reception was Hollywood-nightclub-themed and included a performance by Babyface.

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom's wedding reception was a candy lover's dream. The place was filled with more than 17,000 packages of sweets!

"Lamar has a huge sweet tooth and has been a fan of Wonka Candy for a long time," a publicist for the company tells Life & Style. "They contacted us on Friday, almost last- minute. That was partly to protect the secrecy of the wedding, I think. They requested tons of Wonka Candy."

To create this candy land, Wonka pretty much depleted its storeroom in Seattle to send the rushed shipment to the happy couple.

"We heard from Lamar's rep this morning that everyone was going crazy for it and absolutely loved it. We sent a huge assortment, but people especially loved the Nerds and the gummies. We heard there were around 250 guests," the publicist adds.
