Eddie Van Halen married his longtime girlfriend on the grounds of his seven-acre manse Saturday night. Wearing flip-flops, the iconic guitarist wed Janie Liszewski, in his estate’s garden after she came down the aisle to a performance of Van Halen’s ‘When It’s Love’ by the Sonus Quartet.

According to People, Eddies 18-year-old son, Wolfgang, served as best man for his second marriage. The 54-year-old guitarist’s drummer/brother Alex Van Halen, an ordained minister, officiated at the 20-minute, non-denominational service. Van Halen’s ex-wife, Valerie Bertinelli — who he divorced in 2006, after 25 years of marriage — was among the 100 or so guests who sipped non-alcoholic beverages from the lemonade bar in honor of Eddie’s year-and-a-half of sobriety.

For their first dance, Van Halen chose ‘You Are So Beautiful’ by Joe Cocker, followed by his wife’s selection, Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time.’ The couple intends on honeymooning in New York, Germany and Eddie’s birthplace, the Netherlands.
