The Kardashians are pros at throwing wedding specials (even if sustaining said marriages hasn’t worked out quite as well), so Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker had some huge shoes to fill. Proving they were aware of the stakes, Travis proudly spoke about marrying in a lush Italian village. “When we talk about our wedding or we talk about our wedding to our kids, we’re not going to be like, ‘Oh, we just got married in Los Angeles or, ‘We just got married in the desert, or San Francisco or Utah.
