A couple since the 1980s, Kiss bassist Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed have finally set a wedding date.

The 62-year-old rocker and the model are parents to 22-year-old Nicholas and 19-year-old Sophie.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the couple will tie the knot at an iconic Beverly Hills hotel on October 1.

Their wedding invitation reads: "Sophie Alexandra Tweed-Simmons and Nicholas Adam Tweed-Simmons cordially invite you to the wedding of Shannon Tweed and Gene Simmons."

Also included in the invitation is a note from the couple's children, which says: "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.

"But we will be united as a family in spirit and in title forever."

The entire family stars in the A&E reality show Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

The season finale ended with a proposal, and the new series will begin with the lead-up and preparations for the October 1 nuptials.
