Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian Break Down Behind-the-Scenes Details From Their Italian Nuptials: Helicopter Drops, Wedding Day Boat Jumps and More

Memories to last a lifetime. Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian celebrated their love with three individual wedding ceremonies — and they offered glimpses at each one in their Hulu special. During ‘Til Death Do Us Part Kourtney & Travis, which began streaming on Thursday, April 13, the couple shared never-before-seen footage from their nuptials. They initially visited a chapel in April 2022 before exchanging vows at a Los Angeles courthouse one month later. The next month, Kardashian, 43, and Barker, 47, followed up the ceremony with an extravagant star-studded celebration in Italy. "Italy was just such a special place. I spent probably five summers in Portofino with my kids. So, I took you to Portofino. It was the second time you ever flew," the reality star — who shares kids Mason, 13, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 8, with ex Scott Disick — said while cuddled up with her husband in the special. The musician, for his part, referred to their third walk down the aisle as "beautiful and peaceful and so romantic." According to Barker, it was hard to choose which of the three ceremonies stood out the most. “It’s like choosing a child. I can’t pick the best one. Vegas was, like, our wild, rock star wedding. Santa Barbara was, like, as traditional as, like, everybody else’s wedding could’ve been," he continued. In response, Kardashian gushed over their final nuptials, adding, “And then, Italy was just really romantic and classic.” [jwplayer l1Wue19i-zhNYySv2] The pair initially sparked romance rumors in January 2021 after years of friendship. Following less than one year of dating, Kardashian and Barker got engaged in October 2021 at the Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel. Before their wedding special aired, the Poosh founder took to social media to honor their anniversary. "One year ago today, an Elvis impersonator married me and @travisbarker after the Grammys and way too much tequila in a chapel in Las Vegas! It was one of the best nights of our lives, dreaming of a lifetime filled with fun adventures together," she captioned an Instagram post on April 4, which included photos from their Las Vegas event. Kardashian continued: "And yes, that’s me about to throw up on the floor in the car. 🥂 Thankful to @clemente_310 @kevinhwolff for all the iPhone footage so that I could remember the night 🪩🤪 also, I ended up losing this jacket that night, which I had for ten years, with the little cute heart studs and there’s a reward if anyone finds it 🕵🏻‍♀️." ‘Til Death Do Us Part Kourtney & Travis is currently streaming on Hulu.

Opting Out of a Church

During the Hulu special, the pair opened up about an unexpected shakeup in their wedding plans. "The church didn't work out — especially an Italian Catholic church is so strict. We needed specific documents, or we needed to do a one-year Catholic course," Kardashian explained about their less traditional overseas nuptials.

Bringing Their Big Day to Life

"We let some details go that I think people would be surprised with. I remember planning our wedding in 30 minutes and then calling you and talking to you about it. We were like, '[That's] perfect,’" Kardashian and Barker shared with the cameras. "Everything else that I do is so planned out and so detailed. We provided the feeling and the vibe and really trusted [people] to make it feel authentic.”

The TV personality, who got married at Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's L'Olivetta villa, recalled the challenges with creating the wedding of her dreams. "Dolce offered to let us use their property and have our wedding there and to throw us our wedding. They had to do helicopter drops to get the piano there and to get everything to build,” she said. “They were dropping wood at the castle and at the property for days."

Honoring the Late Robert Kardashian

Kourtney got emotional after Kris Jenner surprised her with a sentimental gift. "She gave me her wedding ring from my dad," she said in a confessional, referring to her father, who died in 2003. "When my dad died, I remember thinking that I never want to get married because my dad isn't there to walk me down the aisle. That gift meant so much.”

Wedding Day Surprise

Before walking down the aisle, Barker made a spontaneous decision. "Because I was nervous and I knew [it was] my wedding day, I jumped off the roof of a boat. Like less than an hour before we got married because I just wanted to do something," he explained as he was joined by his 19-year-old son, Landon. "I wanted to not sit around and think about it." 

He added: "It is [dangerous]. If you slip and you hit the handrail, it's a wrap. It is this little ledge that you stand on. It is so fun."

More Wedding Plans

"[All of our weddings] were so different and so special. We are going to have at least one more," Kardashian teased at the end of the Hulu special before joking, "Maybe just you and I? A Quaker wedding."
