Fifty-four-year-old rock star Eddie Van Halen tied the knot this weekend with his girlfriend of three years. Proving that you can mix business and pleasure, the bride Janie Liszewski has also been Van Halen's publicist since 2007.

Some charming details from People: The event was held at the couple's home in Studio City, and Eddie wore flip-flops and an untucked shirt. A quartet played Van Halen's "When It's Love" as Liszewski walked down the aisle, accompanied by her 15-year-old Pomeranian. Eddie's brother Alex officiated the ceremony, which only took about 20 minutes to complete. All in all, it was a low-key, intimate affair in which the couple was joined by 100 of their closest friends and family.

Among the guests was Valerie Bertinelli, Van Halen's ex-wife whom he divorced in 2006 after 25 years of marriage. They all mingled around a non-alcoholic bar (Eddie's been sober for a year and a half), before the newlyweds danced their first dance as husband and wife to Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful."
