The numbers
Alice Cooper, the iconic rock musician, recently celebrated a significant milestone by renewing his wedding vows with his wife, Sheryl Cooper, on their 50th anniversary. The ceremony took place at the historic Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona, and was attended by 220 guests.
At 78 years old, Alice Cooper reflected on their enduring relationship, stating, “Our 50 years together has proved to a cynical world that true love lasts and is very much alive.” Sheryl, who is 69, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the ease of their marriage: “People always say that marriage is hard work, but Sheryl and I have the easiest marriage you can imagine. We never argue. Sheryl and I believe in each other.”
The couple’s daughters, Calico (44) and Sonora (34), along with their son Dashiell (40), were present to witness the heartfelt ceremony. The officiant was William Goddard, Sheryl’s father, who is 92 years old. The couple first tied the knot in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1976, after Alice proposed to Sheryl on stage during a Christmas show.
Alice and Sheryl’s love story began in 1975 when Sheryl auditioned for Alice’s “Welcome To My Nightmare” tour. Their first dance as a married couple was to “This I Swear Is True” by The Skyliners, a moment that has remained a cherished memory for both.
Throughout their marriage, Alice and Sheryl have been recognized for having one of the strongest unions in rock ‘n’ roll. Alice remarked, “She looked absolutely sensational, like a Disney heroine,” highlighting the joy he felt during the vow renewal ceremony.
Sheryl added a humorous touch to their relationship, saying, “We have a concise definition of marriage, and it’s two dysfunctional people who refuse to give up on each other!” This lighthearted approach has contributed to their lasting bond.
As they celebrated this remarkable milestone, the couple’s commitment to each other continues to inspire many. Observers note that their relationship stands as a testament to enduring love in the often tumultuous world of rock music.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any future plans for the couple, but their legacy as a devoted pair in the music industry is firmly established.
