Gene Simmons Marries Shannon Tweed
After 28 years together, rocker Gene Simmons, 62, and Shannon Tweed, 54, finally said "I do" on Saturday at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Their wedding extravaganza included nearly 400 guests, including Hugh Hefner, Bill Maher and Simmon's fellow bandmates from KISS.
Simmons and Tweed exchanged self-written vows in a beautiful evening ceremony outside the crystal lawn at the ritzy hotel. The blushing bride sparkled in $2.5 million in diamonds for the first dance, and wore a stunning, ivory Priscilla of Boston gown -- one of the three dresses Shannon wore on her big day.
The couple's children Nick, 22, and Sophie, 19, were also in attendance for their parents' special day -- with Sophie acting as maid of honor.
