"There would have been hard feelings and blame all over the place. And I can honestly say, we do not feel less married. As a matter of fact, we feel more married than those people, because we're still married."
The TV star said their decision to elope was based on the fact that they only had a couple of days off from work.

"Two consecutive days off from work, both on the same day. And it was like, 'Let's go to Vegas and get married and it'll be fun,'" she added before explaining that the very cold New York weather also played a part in their choice of wedding destination.

"We looked at the weather because we thought about going to City Hall but that was still cold and miserable, whereas in Las Vegas, it was 85 degrees and sunny. 'Let's do that!' And so that's what we did."
Kelly concluded: "$179 for a wedding, including airfare, cause we had miles and we had a canceled trip or something. But $179 in total — total with everything."
