The Elvis impersonator who married Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker has broken his silence after their impromptu Las Vegas wedding.

Kardashian and Barker headed down the aisle at around 2am after they attended The Grammys on Sunday.

Now Dean Diamond, who officiated the headline-grabbing nuptials at the One Love Chapel, told how he almost said “no” when he received a late-night phone call about an anonymous couple looking to get hitched at short-notice.

But the 69-year-old had a change of heart, however, when he was offered more money and he was told the people intending to say “I do” were famous.

In fact, he went as far to say his encounter with the bride and groom was an “honour”.

He told The Sun: “He wasn’t saying as much as her, but he was speaking with his eyes, the way he was looking at her like, ‘Wow, I get to marry you.’”

Confirming that they had been drinking prior to exchanging their “Elvis vows,” Diamond told the paper: "They had. But you know what I’m looking at is how they say their vows. How clear is their speech?

“Their speech was extremely clear and Travis is looking at her, you know like the way I look at my wife."

He said he has been impersonating Elvis since he was a child and first turned wedding officiator eight years ago.

Kardashian and Barker’s marriage isn’t actually legally binding as they didn’t have a marriage licence.

But Diamond – who serenaded them with the King’s classics Can’t Help Falling in Love and A Mess Of Blues - insisted they are married “in the eyes of God”.

He added: “When two hearts are joined together in holy matrimony and when they really love each other, to me, it’s a marriage. And in the old days they didn’t have paperwork.”
