Kourtney later confirmed that they hadn’t obtained a marriage license prior to their ceremony.
“Found these in my camera roll,” she captioned a postfilled with photosfrom the romantic affair. “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 andgot married (with no license).”
“Practice makes perfect,” she added.
Later addressing the surprise ceremony onJimmy Kimmel Live!, Kourtney said there “wasno possibility to get a marriage licenseat that hour.” But she initially “thought” she’d be able to obtain such documentation considering how accessible Las Vegas is at all hours.
