Gene Simmons (of KISS) and Shannon Tweed finally after 28 years GOT MARRIED

[Tx4obama]

Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed have made it official!

After 28 years together, the KISS bassist, 62, married his longtime girlfriend in an evening ceremony outside on the crystal lawn at the Beverly Hills hotel on Saturday, their rep confirms to PEOPLE. The couple's guests cheered when Simmons said "I do" to his partner.

Tweed, 54, walked down the aisle in an ivory Priscilla of Boston gown – one of three dresses she chose for the big occasion – and carried a bouquet of ivory garden roses.

The couple exchanged vows they wrote themselves in front of 400 guests including Hugh Hefner, Bill Maher and the KISS members (Paul Stanley was in the wedding party).

1. Priscilla of Boston is CLOSING after over half a century on Newbury Street.

She probably got one of the last of their products.

You have to wonder what made them decide to finally get it over with?

3. Well....

On the last season of their TV show Shannon was really fed up with Gene's infidelities and from not having a commitment from Gene so she moved out of their house. Both of their kids are adults now and out of the house off to college - she thought that now that the kids were grown it was time to get her life in order.
They both went to counseling for most of the year.
They took a trip to Israel and Gene met his father's side of the family for the first time.
While in Israel he went to visit his father's grave for the first time.
Gene spent some time soul searching and growing up.
Then Gene patched things up with Shannon and when they were off on vacation he proposed to her.

That's about all I know - LOL :)

6. I have never seen the program, but I have to tip my hat to you!

That was probably the most succinct accounting of any show that I've ever read. Now I can BS people and make 'em think I've seen it, because you've covered all the salient points!

You should write Presidential Briefing Documents!

8. Thanks :) Btw for anyone that is interested ...

The new season of 'Gene Simmons Family Jewels' starts on A&E October 4th.
The first four new episodes are going to cover the wedding preparations and The Wedding.

9. Thank you!

I haven't really been following the show, but when I've caught it, I've enjoyed it. They're surprisingly likable. I'll try to catch this. :)

18. I was thinking future hospital visitation rights, but your analysis is so

detailed I suppose I will defer to your better judgement

2. I'm sure this signals the end to Gene's philandering ways.

:sarcasm:

5. In an article I read it said ...

that Gene said he will only 'TRY' to be faithful.

Well, at least he is honest.. That is something that many others, are not...

But great for Gene that he finally got the nerve to marry his woman of 28 year..

7. The star of Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death

is 54?

Gawd I feel old.

26. wow...obscure film reference!

i think i actually watched that film....

[Arctic Dave]

10. Shouldn't this be in the entertainment or NOGAF section?

[JohnnyRingo]

11. If I know Simmons (and I don't)....

The prenup probably ensures that if they split she'll have to surrender her name, quit wearing makeup, and live under a bridge in the New York groove.

LOL... I kid The Demon. Good Luck.

[WinkyDink]

12. BFD. No, really. BFD.

[bluedave]

13. right u are

somebody hand the ape a shovel-he should back up out of shame when he collects his checks.

[RandiFan1290]

16. Who??

[Bombtrack]

17. I have Shannon tweed to thank for pubescent awakening bliss on Scinemax, but Gene is a douchebag

Just a mean, bummer pile of blowhard hackitude. Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley have some real talent, but not enough to redeem the bands legacy as a whole.

19. So does this mean America will see yet another *walker tour* from Gene because he had to sign a

pre-nup?

I watched the show, because I was curious as to how much help Gene was giving to his rocker-wannabe kid, and I have to say I was pretty repulsed by Gene. The man is in his 60's, Shannon has given him a home and two pretty good kids - and he cries and runs to his Mommy when she finally wants to get married after almost 3 decades of caring for his ass?

Shannon should have just taken his cheap ass to court and walked away with half his shit. She still has her looks. He looks like an old man with died hair trying to pick up teenagers at the local candy store.

I sincerely hope this means an end to that joke of a reality show. Enough with these has-beens already.

21. And we care, why?

and I wouldn't be congratulating anyone on marrying that douchebag Simmons.

[ChiciB1]

22. Generally I Would PAN This Thread... But Can't Resist Saying...

Who Gives A Shit??? This has NOTHING to do with me, my fasmily or what is going on in this country!!!

[wizstars]

23. How does anyone wear three dresses for one occasion??

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[TBF]

24. Awesome that their grown kids were their attendants. Congrats to the whole family! nt

[madrchsod]

25. i could`t watch it cause gene was such an asshole

i felt sorry for her and i noticed the kids did`t buy his shit.

[thelordofhell]

27. I can understand living together and raising a couple of kids

But marriage seem like such a commitment

:sarcasm:
