TONIGHT ON ET: GENE SIMMONS AND SHANNON TWEED REVEAL THEIR WEDDING DETAILS INCLUDING EXCLUSIVE VIDEO FROM THEIR BIG DAY
October 7, 2011 (Los Angeles, CA) - On tonight's ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, KISS frontman, Gene Simmons, and his new bride, Shannon Tweed, co-host the show with Nancy O'Dell and discuss details from their recent trip down the aisle, as well as share exclusive never-before-seen cake-cutting video from their big day.
Simmons on his wedding-day attire: "I was frightened to death cause the first pair of pants I put on, I looked like [I was a contestant on] 'The Biggest Loser'. Someone else could have fit in." Tweed adds, "The alterations got switched...there were two tuxes...one pair of pants fit him...the pants got switched."
Tweed on her choosing her wedding gown: "I wasn't sure what gown to wear. Am I too old for fluffy? Should I wear a straight gown? Should I wear a veil? Is it too late for a veil? Should I wear white? Black? I didn't know what to wear, so I had all these gowns!"
On Tweed's slight pause at the altar: "I was thinking about it...the officiant said a lot of things and I had to think about it," Tweed confesses. Simmons remembers "... I'm looking around like 'Ok this is a set-up. I think I'm going to kill myself now.'"
On the 24 carat massive ring that Simmons gave to Tweed: "It's a platinum gold band with two gold rings in it that represent our kids and it's gold from my father's ring...and my wedding band is an eternity band...and it better be for eternity!" proclaims Tweed.
On Simmons' own wedding ring: "See this, that's my power ring! Eat your heart out Green Lantern!" exclaims Simmons.
Tweed's special song for her groom: "It took every ounce of courage in my body to get up there and sing," admits Tweed, recounting her performance of "Que Sera Sera" for her new husband.
Simmons' promise of fidelty to his new bride: "How can you possibly not be faithful with this woman sitting here? Let me tell you guys something...the answer is Shannon Tweed. If you're lucky enough and you say your prayers at night and you meet the girl of your dreams."
