Kourtney Kardashian explains why she and Travis Barker couldn’t get a marriage license
On Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday, Kourtney Kardashian, surrounded by most of the Kardashian clan, got a chance to explain what went wrong when she and fiancé Travis Barker attempted to get married. Following a PDA-filled appearance at the Grammys in Las Vegas on Sunday, the two hit up a chapel in the early morning hours of Monday. What happened next is why Kimmel referred to it as her getting “fake married.”
“It’s not called fake married,” Kardashian said, responding to Kimmel’s remark. “There was no possibility to get a marriage license at that hour.” Met with surprise that not everything in Vegas is available round-the-clock, Kardashian said, “That’s what I thought. And I’m like, ‘Are you guys serious?’ We asked, like, five times. What do we have to do to make this happen? It was 2 a.m. and they were like, ‘It opens at 8 o’clock.’”
Kardashian shared images from the nuptials on her Instagram earlier on Wednesday, but without a wedding license, the marriage is not legally binding, and that may not be a bad thing as none of her family was there to share in the joy. Her mother Kris Jenner knew about it, and sister Khloé watched it on FaceTime. Kim, on the other hand, was asleep and found out about it the next morning.
