Its very sad, but definitely seems like a lot of celebrities are taking advantage of their status and getting paid to get married... these people have so much money as it is already, I don't understand why they try to get everything for free and get paid for their weddings on top of getting it for free, when there are so many other people whose dream weddings remain a dream...

I thought the same thing about the Kim Kardashian story that I do with this, they are money hungry publicity hounds, and I agree with Gerald's comment, that it's not fair to many other couples who struggle to pay for their wedding, like that other story you wrote on the newlyweds arrested for stealing copper from telephone poles to pay for their wedding.

sorry to be such a downer but I believe that Shannon has so much anger for making her wait so long that the only reason she wants that wedding ring is so that she can easily and legally take him to the cleaners when she leaves him.  she was a lot more secure when their children were not of legal age because she  felt she had power. she will leave him and take half of all his empire. be prepared gene.

She can't take half of everything, as it says in this article and as discussed on the show, they have signed a pre-nup. I believe that she is money hungry too and if there wasn't a pre-nup he would have been foolish for getting married to her.

Seriously people?! Be happy for others instead of jealous. Like any one of you would not take a free wedding, if someone offered??? I wouldn't call her a gold digger. I think she put on a brave face and stayed for the well being of her children and for love. Something women tend to do, whether their mate is rich or poor.

I hardly think that something I don't agree with is something I would be jealous of "Aimee"... and your statement about "anybody" would take a free wedding if they could... I highly doubt that because I, for one, would NEVER take a free wedding, or anything free... especially when it comes to my wedding which is a day that I would share with my closest family and friends to witness my love... it's not a day that I would make a spectacle on a reality show sharing it with the world hoping to increase the ratings for my dirty laundry being shared with the world to get the day for free. As the writer of this article says, it is making a mockery of marriage, which should be thought of as sacred... so how is airing your wedding to the world on a reality show sacred?

You would never take a free wedding Bianca because nobody would ever offer you one.  You said "it's not fair to many other couples who struggle to pay for their wedding" Didn't your parents teach you that life isn't fair.

Don't spend too much money on your wedding and save it for your divorce, you'll need it! BTW, your future "husband" is cheating on you. Just check his phone or email :)

Actually they would offer me one... I may not be a "celebrity" however I do come from a family with financial means well above many other people. My mother is a judge and my father is a C.F.O. for a nationwide insurance company, and my parents wanted to pay for my wedding, but my fiance and I would rather pay for it on our own, so that it can be planned our own way and everyone attending our wedding has no financial ties to our special day that we are inviting everyone to be a part of.

 

Honestly, "Aimee", to me it seems you have more ties to this story than you are admitting to, and it shows with your first comment, and then also how personal you have taken me sharing my own opinion in response to your comment.

 

You cannot assume that "everyone" would take a free wedding and put their life on television for the world to see, because I'm not the type of person who would even allow my own family to pay for my wedding, never mind having my life put under a microscope of the public like a zoo attraction... that is something that many people, not just me, would never do, free wedding or not.

Oh, how it seems that Aimee sounds more like Shannon herself every time she opens her mouth. I believe that she is closer to this story than she is admitting to as well, whether it's Shannon or her son, who has already been making comments on many stories out there, and seeing that this website was the one to "start this rumor" about Shannon and Gene getting married just for the television ratings, I believe it's very possible that Aimee is close to this story too just as Bianca suggested.

 

I have been married for 16 years, and I probably would have accepted a free wedding personally, but I know my wife would never have accepted one, and wouldn't especially allow our lives to be on a reality television show, nor would I, because I just feel that our lives are our business.

Comment by Jessica Fitzpatrick on October 20, 2011 at 12:53pm

Maybe it's a matter of morals? I wouldn't take a free wedding either.

 

I don't know if the Simmons - Tweed family has read this story, or is commenting on it anonymously or not, but if that is true, then just know that it's great you are married, and congratulations, but when you put your lives out there for the world to see, you are giving them the right to judge your life too, and people cannot be ripped apart for doing so.

 

I just see the marriage as a contradiction myself. Gene Simmons has said MANY times that he will never get married and that he and Shannon are happy with their lives just the way it is with being together unmarried, so why the sudden change of heart on your beliefs?

 

The only obvious motive in my opinion is their reality show. Free wedding or not wouldn't be enough because a wedding is not that costly when you have the money to pay for it, however television ratings on the other hand would be motivation since this seems to be a big part of their lives right now, and for this reason is probably why TyingTheKnott.com and many people commenting about this story seem to think that Shannon and Gene are making a mockery of marriage.''

 

But I could be wrong, however it's my opinion like everyone else commenting.
