(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - Rocker Gene Simmons and his longtime girlfriend, actress Shannon Tweed, have tied the knot.

Publicist Dawn Miller offered her congratulations to "the new married couple" on Facebook.

People magazine said about 400 guests attended the Saturday evening ceremony outside a Beverly Hills hotel. The magazine reported the couple exchanged vows they wrote themselves.

Simmons and Tweed have been a couple for years. The 62-year-old Kiss bassist and the 54-year-old former Playboy Playmate have two children.

Their engagement announcement last month surprised many fans.

The new season of the reality show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" premieres Tuesday on the A&E network.

Now that he is old and worn out, he decides it's time to get married. She should have dumped him for a much more attractive man a long time ago. Maybe she didn't because of their children but even they were disappointed in his behavior and how he disrespected their mom with his other "women". This was for ratings.

"Mr. and Mrs. Gene Simmons" has a nice cha-ching to it and why not? Their entire family has shared their lives with the rest of us for our entertainment for years so why shouldn't they benefit from it, that to me is a fair exchange.

Actually I'm very happy for their entire family and wish them the best of luck and happiness!

(B.T.W. I was kidding in my previous post.)
