For Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, parting is such sweet sorrow. Or at least it seemed that way at their “Romeo and Juliet”-inspired bachelor and bachelorette party. Leaning into her and Barker’s edgy couple aesthetic, Kardashian posted photos of the night on her Instagram, featuring dripping candelabras, brass angels, a scarlet cake inscribed with “Kravis 4ever,” and dramatic, blood-red lighting. The last slide even showed a small vial of an unknown substance, although we can only hope that Kravis avoided the same fate as Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers.
“Romeo and Juliet vibes for the Bach,” Kardashian captioned the gallery, drawing in a flux of opinions from friends and fans alike. “Was the most romantic dinner with a touch of Dracula vibes,” one partygoer commented on her post. “Did my heart love til now?” another quipped from the famed playwright.
Others were not quite as romanced. Some commenters felt the party had missed the poetic mark entirely and landed more in line with the Addams family. But for a couple whose wedding has been nothing but nontraditional (read: three weddings, jumping off a yacht in Italy), they don’t seem too concerned with ruffling a few feathers. After all, as Barker commented on Instagram, it’s all about “love and lovers,” at the end of the day.
