Wolfgang Van Halen Weds Longtime Girlfriend Andraia Allsop in Los Angeles

In a heartwarming and intimate celebration, Wolfgang Van Halen, the son of the legendary Eddie Van Halen and actress Valerie Bertinelli, and his fiancée, Andraia Allsop, officially became a married couple. The couple, who have been together for eight years, exchanged their vows in the presence of 90 close friends and family members at their Los Angeles residence, according to People.

The significance of the day was heightened by the fact that their wedding date coincided with their first-date anniversary on October 15, 2015. This special day served as a tribute to their enduring love and the challenges they had overcome together.

Andraia shared, "Our goal was just to bring all of our closest family and friends together. The past few years, not only with the world, but also with personal tragedies, haven't been the easiest, but we wanted to create this wedding as a celebration not only just for us to get married but a celebration for the people we love."

The couple chose the cozy setting of their own living room for the ceremony, allowing them to have privacy while sharing their moment with everyone. Following the indoor ceremony, the celebration continued outdoors in their backyard, beautifully adorned with string lights and floral arrangements.

A close family friend of Wolfgang, who has known the musician for nearly three decades, officiated the wedding.

The ceremony featured stunning stained-glass windows, creating a romantic atmosphere with dusty rose and mauve-colored flowers, evoking a sense of elegance.

Wolfgang paid a heartfelt tribute to his late father, Eddie, by walking down the aisle with his mother to the instrumental piece "316," a song written by his father for him. Bertinelli expressed her joy at seeing her son get married, describing it as a beautiful gift.

Andraia's entrance was equally special, as she walked down the aisle with her father to Dean Martin's "Everybody Loves Somebody," a nod to her love for the legendary performer. Her unique choice to have her grandmothers as flower girls added a heartwarming touch to the ceremony, honoring her family's history.

For her wedding dress, Andraia wore a beautiful Eva Lendel creation, featuring sheer long sleeves with lace detail and a V-neck. The couple wrote their own vows and ensured that their loved ones who couldn't be present were remembered throughout the day.

The couple also set up an empty chair at the ceremony in memory of those who had passed away. Additionally, they adorned their living room with photos of their family and loved ones, creating a touching tribute.

The dessert featured tiramisu and a wedding cake from SusieCakes, a non-negotiable choice for the couple. Wolfgang humorously stated, "We knew we wanted a cake from SusieCakes because that's the best bakery in California, and I think that was the first thing we were like, 'We're going to need to do that because it's the best.'"

The reception featured a DJ, with Wolfgang playfully suggesting that some of the songs on the playlist might be unexpected. The couple wanted to ensure their guests had a great time, with Wolfgang noting, "It's my wedding, and I'll do whatever I want."

Although they already felt like they were married, the couple was excited to make it official in front of their loved ones. Their journey, from their first Instagram connection to this special day, has been filled with love and support, making it a story worth celebrating.

As Wolfgang continues his busy touring schedule, he and Andraia cherish the quiet moments they share. "Home is where we are together," he said. Andraia echoed the sentiment, adding, "And home could be anywhere. It could be a hotel room, it could be a bus, or it could be our actual house. Home is just where the two of us are."

Reflecting on their wedding day, Wolfgang described it as "comfy" and "like drinking water for the soul."

In July 2022, the couple took to Instagram to announce that he had proposed to his longtime love. Wolfgang shared a joyful picture of himself and Andraia to share the news. In the glowing photo, Andraia happily rests her newly adorned hand on her beaming fiancé's face. Wolfgang captioned the shot with "She said yes!! ❤️❤️❤️," and Andraia reposted the sweet post on her Instagram Story.
