Guitarist Nita Strauss married her longtime partner Josh Villalta on Saturday (May 4th) at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in Los Angeles, and rocked out at her own wedding reception alongside Alice Cooper and David Draiman.
Strauss wore a beautiful Maggie Sottero wedding gown, as seen in an exclusive pictorial for People, but that didn’t stop her from picking up her guitar and joining Cooper for a performance of the Beatles’ “Back in the U.S.S.R.,” as well as contributing vocals to Draiman’s performance of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” (the Disturbed singer also sang Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” at the reception).

The groom, who plays drums in Strauss’ solo band, manned the kit during the performances, getting his chance to rock out, too. As for the couple’s first dance, it was to Extreme’s hit ballad ‘More Than Words.

A big congratulations goes out to Nita Strauss. The Alice Cooper guitarist got engaged to her drummer and longtime boyfriend Josh Villalta, known as Josh V., during her record release show for her new solo album, The Call of the Void. The gig took place Thursday night (July 6th) in Los Angeles.
Josh dropped to one knee to ask Strauss for her hand in marriage onstage in front of the packed crowd at Whisky A Go Go, and received an enthusiastic “Yes” from the guitar virtuoso. The whole thing was captured in photos and videos, as Mike Jakubow of Sumerian Records shared some clips on social media (see below). He posted, “Nita Strauss Record Release Party …. more than that … it turned into an engagement party! Congrats @hurricanenita and @thejoshv on everything. Such an honor to share in your amazing moments. Truly.”
