Valerie Bertinelli's Son Marries 'Young Version of His Mother' – 1st Wedding Pic Sparked Criticism

• The son of famous American actress Valerie Bertinelli recently tied the knot to a woman some say looks like a "younger version of his mother."
• A photo of Wolfgang Van Halen and his new bride sparked strong reactions from the public.
• While some expressed concern about Valerie's son's weight, others claimed his wife married him for financial gain.

The son of iconic actress Valerie Bertinelli and late legendary musician Eddie Van Halen tied the knot this past weekend. Wolfgang Van Halen exchanged vows with his longtime partner, Andraia Allsop, in Los Angeles on October 15.

The newlyweds married in an intimate ceremony at their home with only 90 guests. Gorgeous stained glass windows were put on display as part of the decorations.

Interestingly enough, according to a pop culture outlet, these windows were the same ones iconic singer Lady Gaga had used as a backdrop for one of her performances. In addition to these unique windows, other decor included pretty mauve and dusty rose-colored floral arrangements.

As far as the dress code was concerned, the groom looked dapper in a custom-made three-piece black suit, while his stunning bride adorned a classy long-sleeved white gown with lace and beading embellishments designed by Eva Lendel.

Perhaps one of the special day's most beautiful and endearing moments was when the rockstar walked down the aisle with his mom to a song his late father wrote for him.

Wolfgang thought it would be a great way to ensure Eddie was included. Honoring his late dad and other family members both he and Allsop have lost was paramount for the couple, who even honored the loved ones in their vows. They even left an empty chair for the late artist, and the bride handcrafted memory charms with pictures of Wolfgang and his father.

Wolfgang's wife explained that the event occurred in the couple's living room because they wanted privacy and to draw a direct focus on the two sharing their special moment. Following the vow exchange, a cocktail hour was had inside before the reception, decked out with lights and flowers, was held in the backyard.

Some cuisines included for the festivities were pesto chicken, braised short ribs, a tortellini soup Wolfgang grew up eating as a child, and a vegan option of cauliflower steak. Tiramisu and a celebration wedding cake were had for dessert.

Upon seeing Wolfgang and his bride, some people complimented them, calling them a beautiful couple. They also marveled at the resemblance between Valerie and Andraia:

"His bride looks like a young version of his mother."

Although Some People Criticized Wolfgang Van Halen and His Bride, Others Defended Him

While some focused on the resemblance between the bride and Valerie, others criticized the newlyweds. Some people nastily assumed that Andraia only married Wolfgang for his money, even though the couple had been together for eight years.

Others expressed concern about Wolfgang's weight. Although this cohort of people congratulated the couple for the most part, one social media user went so far as to say:

"I...by no means want to sound judgemental or cruel but...I think unless he has a medical condition that causes him to carry extra weight he really should try to get healthier before he gets sick."

Many people came to Wolfgang's defense after seeing some of the backlash he received. They chastised the people who criticized him and went on about how wrong it was for them to be judgemental and rude.

Despite the negative things that some had to say, Wolfgang's doting mama bear couldn't be prouder of her son and adores her daughter-in-law. Of her son and daughter-in-law's beautiful union, she divulged:

"It brings me such a nice sense of peace knowing Wolfie and Andraia have each other for the rest of their lives. They really 'get' one another..."

The ecstatic mother-in-law even lent Andraia a unique necklace for the special day. The piece of jewelry was one that her late ex-husband gave her. Valerie also mentioned how proud Eddie would be of his son and wife, who said they had already felt like they were married before they tied the knot.
