Kourtney Kardashian confirms 'practice' wedding with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker in Las Vegas

Kourtney Kardashian has shared images from her "practice" wedding to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker in Las Vegas.

The couple were married by an Elvis impersonator at the One Love Chapel in Nevada with "no licence" following the Grammy awards ceremony on Sunday night.

Kardashian, 42, confirmed the news by posting a series of pictures from the impromptu event on Instagram, with the couple wearing matching black outfits and sunglasses.

Captioning the post, she wrote to her 168 million followers: "Found these in my camera roll.

"Once upon a time in a land far, far away (Las Vegas) at 2am, after an epic night and a little tequila, a queen and her handsome king ventured out to the only open chapel with an Elvis and got married (with no license).

"Practice makes perfect."

It is required that couples in the US state of Nevada obtain a marriage licence before the union can be made official.

Barker, 46, shared an emoji showing a man wearing a tuxedo, while the bride's sister Kim shared a wedding emoji.

The nuptials took place after the couple walked the Grammys red carpet together in Las Vegas. The event had been moved from Los Angeles due to complications relating to the pandemic.

Barker had joined Lenny Kravitz and HER on stage at the music event earlier in the night as part of the ceremony's billing of live performances.

Marty Frierson, owner of the chapel, revealed he had received a phone call "asking for Elvis" in the early hours of Monday morning.

He told PA news agency that he was not told which celebrities were coming to be wed at the chapel prior to their arrival, but that the couple had arrived at 1.45am (9.45am UK time) with four guests who had filmed the occasion.

The pair, dubbed "Kravis", got engaged in October after Barker proposed on a beach with a display of red roses in California.

The couple announced the news on Instagram, sharing photos of the eldest Kardashian sibling wearing a diamond ring and kissing her new fiance, captioned "forever".

Kardashian and Barker have been public about their relationship on social media, and frequently post pictures together on Instagram.

The couple sparked rumours they were in a relationship at the beginning of 2021, confirming their romance around Valentine's Day.

The reality star and Poosh founder has three children with her ex-partner of 10 years, Scott Disick.

Barker, an acclaimed drummer and music producer, is a father of two who has been married twice before, including to former Miss USA Shanna Moakler.
