Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker ‘spent just $800’ on Las Vegas wedding including extra fee for Elvis impersonator
KOURTNEY Kardashian and Travis Barker spent just $800 on their shotgun Las Vegas wedding after the Grammys - including an extra fee for an Elvis impersonator.
Kourtney, 42, and Travis, 46, exchanged vows at 1:45am on Monday night at the One Love Wedding Chapel, which opened its doors to The Sun only hours after the couple said "I do."

Chapel owner Marty Frierson, who was present during the wedding in Downtown Sin City, revealed it's their first celebrity wedding at the venue which has been open around two years.
Sources told The Sun and other outlets the marriage was not legal, and no paperwork was filed within Clark County, but they still exchanged vows and rings in front of Elvis.
However, the pair could have obtained a wedding license from another county in Nevada, according to Marty, who said they turned up with a white envelope and handed it to the anonymous officiator.
The Sun spoke to a clerk at Clark County's Marriage License Bureau who confirmed the couple could have obtained a license in a different county before traveling to Las Vegas.
Marty revealed: "I got a call from a male assistant about 12:30am verifying we were open, he said, 'A celebrity is getting married, we can't tell you who it is, it's a big time person'.

"They said, 'We read your reviews, are you open? Can you get Elvis?' I said, 'I'm not sure it's kinda late to get Elvis, but I'll double check.' I made them pay online first because if I'm booking Elvis I have to pay him."
He revealed they selected the chapel's $199 package, which included the $75 minister fee, choice of love songs, silk rose bouquets, and a toast for two - declining a video and photographs.
"They paid extra for Elvis, I can't say how much we pay him but it was about $800 in total, and we had two rose bouquets left, they decided to buy both of them," Marty said.
"They didn't bring their own photographer, they came with four guys, I know one was security, the rest seemed to be management or friends, but they only took iPhone photographs.

"They didn't really speak to us, they were whisked in and we kept our distance, they were laughing the entire time they were here, and stopped to kiss before heading into the chapel."
Marty says he doesn't remember which three Elvis songs they danced to but Travis swept Kourtney off her feet and the impersonator had them laughing with his moves, including karate chops.
Ring camera footage viewed by The Sun, which the venue promised the couple they would not hand out, shows Kourtney stumbling outside of the little white chapel with Travis into the small parking lot in the back.
Marty says he was informed via text before hand "no cameras or video," but the CCTV picked up the final moments of the couple's mad dash to the alter.
The pair are seen in the same black on black outfits they chose for the Grammys, with Kourtney in a jumpsuit, leather jacket, and heels with her hair tied back.
Footage shows a black escalade in the parking lot and the couple smooching beside it, before Kourtney throws her bouquet back over her shoulder and clings onto Travis.
KOURT'S BOUQUET FAIL
Unfortunately, her team fail to catch it and the crowd fall about laughing before she tries again and a guy manages to grab it.
Marty said witnesses recorded and took photographs of the whole ceremony, and after TMZ broke the news, his phone began ringing non-stop as his chapel became known around the world.
"They did tip me, but I can't say how much. And this is our first celebrity wedding, but we do around 200/300 a month. You have to have a marriage license but we also do commitment ceremonies."
He added that they seemed very much "in love" and were kissing and laughing throughout their quick 30 minute visit to the chapel, which is situated away from the usual hustle and bustle of the famous Strip.
The Sun exclusively obtained photos and video of the inside of the venue, with the main room featuring mini chandeliers on the ceiling and a white circular flower arch at the alter.
White curtains hang down beside the arch tied back with flower arrangements.
'THEY DIDN'T STOP LAUGHING'
Chairs decorated with chiffon sashes are lined up at the sides of the room for guests to watch the ceremonies.
White 'Love' signs are also on display, along with canvases on the walls of a romantic theme.
Meanwhile, other rooms throughout the venue feature red balloons, a TV, and a photo backdrop of pale pink roses behind two white chairs for the perfect photo op.
Kravis reportedly do not yet have a pre-nuptial agreement drawn up, and a source told The Sun Kris Jenner is keen on them having one before any 'real' wedding.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum is reportedly worth around $65 million, while the Blink-182 musician is rumored to have banked around $50 million.
This is the first time Kourtney has walked down the aisle, though she shares three children with her ex Scott Disick; Mason, 12; Penelope, nine; and Reign, seven.
