KISS’ Gene Simmons has welcomed a new member into his family. People reports that the rocker’s daughter Sophie, with wife Shannon Tweed-Simmons, wed fiancé James Henderson Wednesday at Shannon’s home in Los Angeles.
The mag reports that the couple first tied the knot Friday at a courthouse in Los Angeles, before celebrating with 30 guests at a bash in the backyard of Shannon’s “she-shed.”
“We couldn't be prouder of our daughter," Gene and Shannon tell the mag. "James is a solid young man, and Sophie can do anything she puts her mind to,” adding, “We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness. If they are even half as happy as we are, they will last long."
Sophie chose a blush Lahav dress for her big day, while her groom wore a Tom Ford suit.
As for the location of the wedding, Sophie shares, "The view truly can't be beat and I love that it is intimate and family oriented," adding, "James and I never wanted a big wedding so this is the perfect space for us."
And the couple plan to continue the party: Another speakeasy-style bash with 250 guests is happening Thursday in Los Angeles, and on Friday, they are hosting a brunch for out-of-town guests who flew in for the affair.
