Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker celebrated an unofficial wedding in Las Vegas

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker participated in an unofficial wedding ceremony on 04/04/2022 at the One Love Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada, shortly after attending the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. The late-night ceremony, which reportedly took place around 2:00 AM, was officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator and quickly became one of the most discussed celebrity moments following the awards event. Although images and reports from the chapel initially led to speculation that the couple had legally married, Kardashian later clarified that the ceremony was not legally binding because the pair had not obtained a marriage license beforehand. According to statements shared publicly after the event, the couple attempted to secure a marriage license in Clark County but were unable to do so at that hour. As a result, the Las Vegas ceremony functioned as a symbolic celebration rather than a legal marriage. The ceremony reflected the spontaneous and highly public nature of Kardashian and Barker’s relationship, which had become widely followed after they confirmed their romance in early 2021. Barker, drummer for Blink-182, and Kardashian, known for reality television and business ventures, became engaged in October 2021 after Barker proposed in Montecito, California. Their Las Vegas chapel appearance added another highly publicized chapter to the relationship, combining celebrity culture with the long-standing Las Vegas tradition of late-night wedding ceremonies. Weeks after the Las Vegas event, the couple legally married during a courthouse ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, on 15/05/2022. They later hosted a larger religious wedding celebration in Portofino, Italy, on 22/05/2022, attended by family members and celebrity guests. Kardashian later described the Las Vegas ceremony as “practice” for their official weddings.
