Rapper Kanye West wants to use France's Republican Guard at his wedding with socialite Kim Kardashian -- and vowed to pay $1 million for their services.
The rapper is set to exchange vows with the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star May 24 in the French capital.

"He's asked for some of the 3,200-strong team to be dispatched to him for the day and has offered to pay $1 million for their services," the source added.
