Gene Simmons is getting married

Gene Simmons of Kiss to wed longtime girlfriend

          The 62 year old Gene Simmons, a member of the metal music group "KISS," is marring his girlfriend of 28 years former Playmate Shannon Tweed. The couple has two children together, Nick and Sophie, who are grown up now. The wedding is set to be on October 1, 2011 in Los Angeles and will be traditional  with a twist. Gene proposed to Shannon in Belize where the cameras filmed it for their reality TV show, "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels."

                    I am really shock to see this and it's about time. I love the the band "KISS,"  and always have. It's the first concert that I've ever since. I also got to see Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley (lead singer of KISS) in a limo the day of the concert. They rolled their window and gave us a peace sign with their hands. It was awesome! I use to have all their tapes and posters of them on my walls as a teenager.

           When I found out about the reality show that he and his girlfriend was hosting, I started to watch it. I felt like I got to know Gene better and of course his family. I didn't know that he had a girlfriend of that many years, nor did I know he had children. There's not a lot of rock stars that has the same girlfriend for any amount of years let alone 28 years. I'm proud of him and her for staying with him through all the concerts, traveling and all the screaming women fans that has thrown their underwear and their bodies at him.

                     I'm glad though that they have decided to get married. Some people say, "Why get married now, you've been together so long?" But I say, "Go for it!" I'm not too crazy about marriage but I think they have really earned it. I hope they have many more years together. They both seem to really love each other and get a lone really well for a couple of that many years. I think they make a great couple and I hope to see more of them on television. Rock on Gene and Shannon!
