KOURTNEY Kardashian and Travis Barker officially tied the knot on Sunday, and some people on social media are now slamming the former KUWTK star for her use of Catholic iconography in the ceremony.
The newlyweds were surrounded by family and friends as they exchanged vows in Italy and Kourtney wore a short lace Dolce & Gabanna dress with a flowing white cathedral veil.
The veil in question had the image of the Virgin Mary, her hands placed together in prayer, embroidered on in its fabric and some on Twitter slammed the Kardashians star for the move.
"Did you guys know that Kourtney isn’t even catholic and she’s using it as an aesthetic for her wedding?" one person wrote.
"But why is the Virgin Mary on EVERYTHING Kourtney Kdash is wearing?? Is there a symbolic thing i am missing since it’s on her wedding attire?? I also find it really weird," someone else added.
This was the third wedding ceremony for Kourtney, 43, and Travis, 46, after they previously exchanged vows in Las Vegas and at a courthouse in Santa Monica.
