KISS rocker Gene Simmons is finally ready to marry his long-longtime-girlfriend/mother of his children, former Playmate Shannon Tweed, in a private ceremony held at the luxurious Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on October 1, 2011.

After more than 28 years together, the two lovebirds have just sent out the cutest, most awesome wedding invitations ever to close friends and family, which feature a special witty announcement by their children, 22 year-old Nicholas and 19 year-old Sophie.

The wedding invitation reads:

“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 on a heartfelt note — saying, “But we will be united as a family in spirit and in title forever.”

The bride and groom have requested for their guests to wear “classy cocktail attire” to the wedding reception. Why would anyone decide to get married and possibly jinx a relationship of 28 years? For the party, of course! Anyhow, congrats to Gene, Shannon and their kids!
