June 27, 2009—Studio City, California 91604 – Rocker and guitar wizard Eddie Van Halen married girlfriend Janie Liszewski last night in the garden of his seven-acre estate in the hills above Studio City. Liszewski, 39, walked down the aisle to the Van Halen song "When It`s Love". The couple wrote their own vows and designed the wedding rings—for the bride, a platinum band to match her nearly 3-carat diamond engagement ring; for the groom, a gold band with yellow diamonds.
Wolfgang, son of the 54-year old groom and ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli, served as Best Man. Alex Van Halen, the groom`s brother and former bandmate, officiated the 20-minute, non-denominational ceremony. The bride was walked down the aisle by both her mother and her 15-year old Pomeranian.
Liszewski wore a custom-made champagne and pink Hanna Hartnell gown with matching Bulgari earrings and bracelet. Eddie and Wolfgang wore Sy Devore cotton pants and un-tucked button-down shirts. The entire wedding party wore flip-flops.
The purposely-casual affair continued with appetizers like mini-hamburgers, corn dogs, and French fries. The bar was entirely alcohol-free, as Eddie has been after struggling with alcoholism for years.
Entertainment was fairly rock `n roll, with an aerial performance and a contortionist in a clear plastic ball floating on the pool. As they were leaving, each guest was given Calvin Klein and Kate Spade vases and flowers and old-school candy including ring-pops, pop rocks, wax lips, candy necklaces and custom-printed M&Ms.
