Kim Kardashian can now add wedding officiant to her lengthy resumé.

Newlyweds Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton shared a carousel of images and videos from their Las Vegas wedding, which included one of the Skims founder officiating the nuptials.

In the snap, Kardashian, 42, stood in the Little White Chapel reading from a piece of paper as actor Gage, 27, and celebrity hairstylist Appleton, 39, held hands and gazed into each other’s eyes, Page Six reports.

The mother-of-four showed off her curvaceous figure in a skin-tight black leather dress, which had a plunging corsetted neckline that extended down near her navel.

She completed the look with a black studded choker and a pair of black open-toe heels.

Gage and Appleton, on the other hand, wore matching black furry coats, leather pants and boots.

Canadian country singer Shania Twain was also present at the wedding, dressing down in jeans and a sparkly top and serenading the grooms with an acoustic version of her classic ballad You’re Still The One.

“Ring finger where the rock is,” Gage captioned the Instagram post on Wednesday, citing Nicki Minaj’s lyrics from her 2014 hit Only.

Page Six exclusively reported that the pair had tied the knot over the weekend in front of six guests, including Kardashian. The outlet also obtained official records confirming that the pair had applied for a marriage licence.

The couple are believed to have been only dating for a few months.

Though it’s unclear when Gage and Appleton began their whirlwind romance, the couple sparked dating rumours in February when they posted photos from their holiday in Mexico.

The following month, Appleton – who shares son Billy and daughter Kitty-Blu, with ex Katie Katon – confirmed that he and Gage were, in fact, an item.

“I’m very happy,” he said on The Drew Barrymore Show at the time when asked if he was dating anyone. “Very much in love, and I feel very grateful to be able to share my time with someone very special.

“Love is a really special thing, and I think meeting someone that you really connect with is really really special.”

In April, Us Weekly reported that the pair were engaged.

“They’re not telling the public yet, but they have told friends they are engaged,” a source told the outlet.

“They got engaged before they even had rings and then went to pick them out together.”
