Wolfgang Van Halen and fiancée Andraia Allsop are married!
On Sunday, the 32-year-old frontman for the band Mammoth WVH – who’s the son of the late legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen and actress Valerie Bertinelli – exchanged “I do’s” with Allsop, a software engineer and photographer, USA TODAY can confirm. They got engaged last year in July after dating for seven years, and Sunday marked their eight-year anniversary.
According to People magazine’s exclusive on the nuptials, the couple married at their Los Angeles home in front of 90 guests, and the ceremony included several touches that honored loved ones who couldn’t be there, including Eddie Van Halen.
Wolfgang walked down the aisle with his mom to an instrumental song that his father wrote for him, titled “316.” “It’ll be a nice way to include my dad,” he told People.
After exchanging their vows in the living room, they hosted a reception in their backyard, per the outlet.
