Benante told People the following about the ceremony.

“The wedding is like an elegant Russ Meyer movie with a rock and roll twist. The initial idea was a small, intimate wedding with just a few friends and family, but we knew that we would not be able to get away with a small wedding once other friends heard about it. We just want our closest in a room together celebrating.”
