Gene Simmons, Shannon Tweed wedding details revealed

Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed are getting married.

The 61-year-old Kiss rocker, who has been in a relationship with Tweed for 28 years, has announced that they will exchange vows in a ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel on October 1, days before their Family Jewels reality series returns to TV screens.

Simmons proposed to 54-year-old Tweed during Season 6 of the show and the couple have been busy planning their wedding since filming wrapped in July, according to E! News.

The couple have requested on their wedding invitation that guests wear "classy cocktail attire", adding that they "know some rock star attire will be worn".

The invite was sent out with a letter from the couple's two children. 22-year-old Nick and 19-year-old Sophie wrote: "After 28 years of two 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 much."
