Sophie Simmons, who is the daughter of KISS rocker Gene Simmons and actress Shannon Tweed-Simmons, is now married.

The 30-year-old singer and actress, who got engaged last summer, married her fiance James Henderson at a Los Angeles courthouse on Friday, February 17.

After a judge officiated their wedding, the couple placed an intimate religious ceremony five days later in front of about 50 guests on Wednesday, February 22, in her mother’s Malibu yard.

Gene and Shannon exclusively told PEOPLE about their daughter’s wedding,

“We couldn’t be prouder of our daughter. James is a solid young man, and Sophie can do anything she puts her mind to. We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness. If they are even half as happy as we are, they will last long.”

The bride said of her big day,

“We wanted to be respectful to both of our families. We thought we would just sidestep religion altogether and make it a non-issue. We wanted to do the ceremony somewhere so beautiful that it wouldn’t matter if it’s not at a church or temple or whatever.”

The wedding ceremony started at 4: 30 p.m. after the sun began to set which made a romantic scenery. Sophie said her mother’s backyard was a dream setting for her nuptials, explaining,

“The view truly can’t beat, and I love that it is intimate and family-oriented. James and I never wanted a big wedding, so this is the perfect space for us.”

“We’re going to party until the sun comes up,”

The bride of the day looked stunning in a blush-colored gown by Galia Lahav and a Maria Elena Bridal headpiece. The groom, on the other hand, opted for a black Tom Ford suit.

The Israeli-American musician, 73, walked his daughter, Sophie down the aisle to Band of Horses, “No One’s Gonna Love You”.

Sophie said the song has a special meaning for the newlyweds, revealing,

“When my fiancé and I first started dating nine years ago, he took me to a Band of Horses concert. I was so tired from filming our reality show Shannon and Sophie back then, I fell asleep on his shoulder.”

She added,

“We were way too early in the dating phase for me to do that. Luckily, he thought it was cute, and he woke me up for that one song.”

The attendance at the ceremony included Sophie’s older brother Nick Simmons and her few cousins and friends. James, on the other hand, had his two brothers and two best friends standing up for him.
