On Monday morning after the Grammys, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker stood at the altar in a Las Vegas wedding chapel and said "I Do" in the company of someone dressed as Elvis Presley.
It turned out the couple — who announced their engagement last fall — didn't legally tie the knot during their spontaneous 2 a.m. ceremony. But as Kourtney sees it, the absence of a marriage license doesn't really mean their wedding wasn't legit.
"It's not called 'fake married,'" said The Kardashians star on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she appeared last night alongside her sisters Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Khloé Kardashian, plus their mom, Kris Jenner.
"There was no, like, possibility to get a marriage license at that hour," Kourtney explained, noting that she and Travis wanted to exchange vows with all the technicalities in place and would have if it had been feasible.
"That's what I thought. And I'm like, 'Are you guys lying?'" she recalled of the conversations that apparently took place when Kravis learned that obtaining a marriage license couldn't happen in the middle of the night, even in Vegas.

"We asked like five times: 'What do we have to do to make this happen?'" Kourtney continued. "It was 2 a.m., and they were like, 'It opens at 8 o'clock.'"
