Nita Strauss recently married her manager and drummer Josh Villalta, and they threw the perfect metal wedding. Loudwire had the privilege of speaking with the newlyweds less than a week after the wedding. They gave us the details behind the proposal, the planning, the guest list, wrestling legend Mick Foley’s role as their officiant, Alice Cooper‘s reading with his wife Sheryl and more.

Congrats are in order as guitar great Nita Strauss and her manager/drummer Josh Villalta are now married! The couple wed at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 4 with a number of celebrity friends in attendance as well. The couple famously got engaged onstage last July, with Villalta choosing Strauss’ record release party for her The Call of the Void album on July 6 to pop the question. Strauss and her band, with Villalta included, were initially celebrating the album’s release at the legendary Whisky-a-Go-Go, before it turned into an engagement celebration as well. The Sunset Strip venue was a perfect place to pop the question as the couple were initially introduced in 2011 at the Rainbow Bar & Grill by mutual friends.
