It may have taken Gene Simmons 28 years, but the 62-year old musician is finally tying the knot with long-time girlfriend, Shannon Tweed, on October 1st.
“You’re the only friend I’ve got. You’re the only one I love and you’re the only one I ever will love,” the KISS rocker gushed to Tweed during his proposal.
The long overdue nuptials will be held at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel and the dress code will be “classy cocktail attire…although we know some Rockstar attire will be worn.”
What’s funny is that instead of the parents of the groom and bride sending out the announcement, the wedding invite is sent by the couple’s grown kids:
“After 28 years of loose strings, our parents have finally decided to tie the knot. Our mother will share our horrendous hyphenate of a last name and our father’s life … well, it doesn’t change that much.”
It continues: “But we will be united as a family in spirit and in title forever.”
“There will no longer be a Team Tweed or a Team Simmons but instead a Team Tweed-Simmons,” the message continues.
The wedding comes after a recent split between the two from which Tweed claimed they were unlikely to recover from.
At the time of their seemingly permanent breakup, Tweed told PEOPLE:
“I need some sort of commitment.” She threatened that if Simmons’ on the side and well-documented affairs continued, the duo would be over. “Something has to give,” she said. When Simmons finally proposed, Tweed took to Twitter to tell her fans that it was “the most shocking moment” of her life.
