Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor married his fiancĂ©e Mariqueen Maandig in a ceremony on Saturday, October 17th, E! News reports. Producer Danny Lohner first broke the news of the wedding, writing on his Twitter, “Goths the world over will mourn this day — off to a wedding.” Later in the day, Lohner posted a blurry photo of Reznor and Maandig slow-dancing as husband and wife. Trent over at Pink Is the New Blog was also at the reception, and posted photos of Mr. and Mrs. Reznor at the ceremony, including a couple shots of Reznor in his spiffy suit and silver tie and a bunch of candid shots from the reception itself.

According to E!, the wedding was photographed by Robert Evans, who handled Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s wedding, but no official confirmation has been made. Reznor has yet to post about his wedding on his official Website, and as Rolling Stone previously reported he deleted his Twitter this summer. The pair announced their engagement in May 2009. Congrats to the Reznors.

Have you learned nothing from the Balloon Boy fiasco. Geez.

Black Hole Sun | 10/19/2009, 5:36 pm EST

Good for them.

Lawyer | 10/19/2009, 5:58 pm EST

He’s not the brightest when it comes to partnerships. Remember the lawsuit were he got 3 million from his thieving lawyer. Hope there’s a pre-nup for his sake. Then again, the music was better when he was sad…

D&D | 10/19/2009, 8:57 pm EST

Who are you to judge?! Wow. It was a lovely wedding.

god! that’s awful for Courtney Love and all his ex-girlfriends!
and congrats

Captain Molotov | 10/19/2009, 11:40 pm EST

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Reznor! He deserves it.

Judge | 10/19/2009, 11:44 pm EST

So he’s dumb, gullible and his wife is in it for the money. Oh and his music now sucks. Leave it to a lawyer to run a whole string of asshole comments together. You need to go back and take a look at 2008’s Ghosts or 2007’s Year Zero. A 110 minutes of instrumentals preceded by a dense political dance album. But maybe you’re a neocon.

Jaden | 10/20/2009, 12:19 am EST

Congrats Trent and Mariqueen! Have all the luck in the world.

Lurch | 10/20/2009, 12:45 am EST

NICE

John Brown | 10/20/2009, 1:00 am EST

Damn! Reznor looks like a bowl of waxy fruit…..she looks like she’s in a Macy’s catalog. What the hell is going on? These two don’t know each other very well, and it shows. Hookers and Johns have better connections.

Cap't Crunch | 10/20/2009, 1:05 am EST

Mika Tan’s twin! Hot!

Drake | 10/20/2009, 2:49 am EST

He used a Hollywood photographer to document his wedding? What happened to the man that spoke out against anything Hollywood or plastic? Just glanced at the photo again. His new wife looks to be both.

Drake | 10/20/2009, 2:57 am EST

I just looked at the candid shots linked above. It now is apparent why he hired a professional Hollywood photographer for the official photographs. In the candid shots, his new wife looks like the Mother of the woman in the professional ones. How Hollywood, deceiving, and pathetic.

FERABAD | 10/20/2009, 7:03 am EST

Congratulations to both. :)

Oh, and his last albums were GREAT.

nopi | 10/20/2009, 10:05 am EST

How about maybe JUST maybe they love each other!!! What the “f” are you supposed to look like when you get married,maybe they wanted to make it a special occasion and dress up. About her looking Hollywood. yeah her makeup is done up but even without she’s exotic looking, she’s not the all American girl. I’m figuring all the haters are lonely asses without significant others

AnnaDraconida | 10/20/2009, 10:27 am EST

I hope things will work out for them. I’d hate to see this marriage go the Manson-Von Teese way (divorce after 1 year). I really want him to be happy. He’s an incredibly talented person, but the Hollywood way of life has obviously influenced him.

Blue | 10/20/2009, 10:47 am EST

nopi-There could be an article about Trent Reznor wearing a sweater and there would be 20 posts about how SHE is making him wear sweaters and old Trent would have never worn a sweater, what has he turned in to? The fanbase has turned into a bunch of whinny emo-kids who get all of there information from crazy twitter girls.

optomistic for trent | 10/20/2009, 10:48 am EST

I wish them well, but am worried about her lifestyle of chain smoking and down tequila like water.

he is recovering, and this could lead to a lapse in his sobriety.

he is a middle aged man looking for a pretty wife for his arm, tired of being along, and surrounded by married friends.

I wish him well, but a much younger smoker/drinker and up and coming starlet just may not be the best partner. I am sure he will produce her solo cd, and they will if not already be having a baby, i noticed she is turned sideways, and they seem to be rushing to the altar.

he seems smart, but maybe be thinking with his other head right now, most men do.

I hope is it realy and 10 or 20 years from now thwy are together.

I see them divorced, him paying her child support and and huge court fight over alimony

prove me wrong guys!

;)

Stiv | 10/20/2009, 1:12 pm EST

Ha! Since I first NIN, I have said this: as soon as Trent R. finds a stable girlfriend, NIN will be OVER. And LOOK – I was right!! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

transoniqjohnny | 10/20/2009, 2:16 pm EST

The sheer, stark almost brutal conventionality exhibited by this “BOLLYWOOD” couple is utterly boring. Out to pasture mate. We hope you have a nice, healthy baby. Yawn.

ruined2 | 10/20/2009, 2:53 pm EST

He gave us 20 years of incredible music and influence. Let the man be happy for once in his life. Even if it is fleeting, who really cares? He’ll enjoy himself regardless. Thanks for everything, Trent. Have fun with your new life.

natenin | 10/20/2009, 9:14 pm EST

Ok the picture is disturbing but if she dumps him, the muse will flow like a bloody river.

STG | 10/20/2009, 10:21 pm EST

I really hope it works out for both of them. I think the whole engagement was rushed along with this wedding, then again no one knows how long they were together before he popped the question, and frankly it’s none of our business. He’s clearly been wanting to settle down and actually start a life and family before he gets too old, as he’s stated. It’s not up to the public to decide if they’ll be happy together forever, it’s up to them, and being supportive than going along with the tabloids and what not in saying that they won’t last. Congratulations.

Pam | 10/21/2009, 7:45 am EST

Geez people, just be happy for the man instead of spewing venom!!

Laura | 10/21/2009, 10:12 pm EST

I’m jealous of her but I hope Trent is happy. He is a cool, nice, talented guy with a great heart. He deserves happiness.

Zachamazing | 10/21/2009, 10:28 pm EST

It seems that Rolling Stone readers are jealous that they aren’t marrying Trent. Settle down. Just because he’s decided to change some things in his life, doesn’t mean he’s going to stop making music for you obviously dependent, overly and unnesessarily judgmental fans. Question all you want, that is fine, but don’t think you know anything about him/them. Also, I enjoy Year Zero. It certainly isn’t his best work, but it is very creative, and seems very fresh.

MichaelZ | 10/22/2009, 2:46 am EST

Congratulations Mr. Reznor. As a former fan I am disappointed that you have chosen the Hollywood lifestyle. I surmise that when some people age they throw all of their admirable qualities into the wind. You hired the photographer that photographed Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston’s wedding. Sad.

Jae | 10/22/2009, 5:21 am EST

That picture is embarrassing with all the hearts on it!

I’m used to seeing married couples smiling in their wedding day photos. People keep saying let the happy couple be happy but where is the picture of the happy couple? Seriously.

Reality Bites | 10/22/2009, 9:14 am EST

Seems like a typical Hollywood marriage, low on the commitment and selflessness- triviality in leaps and bounds.

It’s almost like marriage is a novelty, all true meaning is lost.

She looks as if she belongs with someone from a cock-rock band- not Trent. But then again, Trent is an adult- he is the one who made the decision.. if he wanted a decent woman- he would have married one. Not sure about everyone else, but I know what type of picture it paints for me.

Even though I probably shouldn’t I feel sorry for him, it is almost as if he was lacking structure and guidance in his formative years.

Whatever | 10/22/2009, 4:58 pm EST

They look like the “before photos” in a wedding makeover article.

Jimmy | 10/22/2009, 5:54 pm EST

Man to bad WTF!

Bummed | 10/23/2009, 1:51 am EST

It’s so “normal” of him to marry … with he in the suit and she in the white dress … so boring. *Yawn* Did the flood gates of angst suddenly close and he turned into an average person? Lame!!!!!

Shoprgyrl | 10/23/2009, 5:03 pm EST

Wow. As a 42 yr. old mother of 3, I am totally bummed about this. He was smokin’ hot in concert. She is one lucky woman. He always was an average person, meaning one of flesh and blood. Now he has just matured. Good for him. To all you morose mf’ers out there who think that everyone should be as miserable as you, get overselves.

amber amber b-bamber | 10/23/2009, 6:59 pm EST

of course i assume he left music because of a woman now, but really i think it’s because the democrats are in power – don’t worry, as soon as the republicans gain back power within the next 2-10 years, he’ll be back w/more angry political music & i can’t wait, in fact, i may even help out in the next election just to get more NIN albums, i LOVED LOVED LOVED The Slip, Ghosts, Year Zero and With Teeth, they are proof of the maturity of both the man & his music & it’s because he composes through anger & the compositions are unrivaled. either the anger’s gone due to happiness in love or in government, sorry trent, you deserve a respite but i hope you can be angry say one year out of every three, does that sound fair??

Jay D | 10/23/2009, 7:06 pm EST

Trent is not a good judge of character, so I doubt this will last. Look at the girls he dated in the past, the first girl he was to marry. She slept with everyone but him. Then look at his manager. Told Trent he was great and was a fan, only to take money from him behind his back. Then there are the choice of friends, self-righteous cokeheads like Manson. Makes him a star and then he turns on him and sells him out in his book. I don’t know if it is because he is from a smalltown or wants to think the best about people, but he always gets burned. I am sure he will feel the fire yet again. Flame on!

doodoohead11 | 10/23/2009, 10:51 pm EST

I think its retarded when 44 year olds marry 27 year olds, but I like Trent Reznor so here it goes, Good Luck bitches!

nina_69 | 10/24/2009, 10:57 pm EST

Now it’s just a matter of sit down and watch…(how long is this goin’ to last!)

nan2112 | 10/25/2009, 5:43 pm EST

I think of Trent as a genius, but I’m not so sure of this! I wish him well, but I hope he made her sign a pre-nup. She’ll have his baby , leave him and take his money.
You know the only way shes going anywhere in the music biz is with his help. I hope if it doesn’t last, he doesn’t go over the deep end.
Again, sorry, I really do hope he is happy and it works out.

STG | 10/26/2009, 3:20 pm EST

She’ll skyrocket to fame and rob him. What else is new? Hopefully an awesome album will come out of it, and another tour.

Pottymouth | 10/27/2009, 2:56 pm EST

You’re all a bunch of selfish F-k’s. Let the man be happy. He’s a big boy and I’m sure the decision he made is what he wants. He bared his innards to us in 20 years of music. The least we can do is leave him alone to enjoy his life!

Shazam | 10/27/2009, 9:26 pm EST

I think they can teach each other alot about strength, perserverence and self worth. not everything is meant to last forever. That’s not even why people marry.

Tyrone_Slothrop | 10/28/2009, 8:35 am EST

“Congratulations”. That is all that needs to be said by anyone.

Voodoo Child | 10/29/2009, 1:27 pm EST

umm, why all the vitriol?? The poster above is correct-a “congrats” is in order for the newlyweds. Imagine if people thought they knew you, and felt the need to comment on your life.

Anonymous | 10/31/2009, 5:13 am EST

I think anyone whose read some of his and her Twitter posts, and his posts to his forums at nin.com knows him as well as they need to in order to comment on his life (at least this part of it). She’s a vulgar bargain basement ‘ho and he’s an arrogant middleaged douche and hipster douchebag. They deserve each other but “congrats” are not in order. Nice try, tho, Trent’s army.

jenny | 11/1/2009, 9:39 am EST

better get a solid pre-nup Trent. she’d trash

K | 11/2/2009, 10:02 am EST

These two brought all the negativity on themselves. Anyone who can come in here and say people who aren’t commenting “congrats” are jealous, mean spirited or whatever else TR’s sheep love to repeat like robots, obviously didn’t watch these two Garbage Pail Kids in action this Spring and Summer. They are vile. Not quite as vile as TR’s Botox though. You’re looking like Wayne Newton TR. Stop. She can talk about cupcakes, fisting, and some imaginary sex life with Trent, but everyone is supposed to pretend she’s some classy lady?? Get real.
BTW, those “congrats” would’ve been plentiful had TR been a gentleman and really fell in love. I can’t respect any man who thought it was cool to do anything he did with this *relationship* this spring and summer. Stop while you’re ahead.

jackie | 11/2/2009, 12:43 pm EST

Why does he always look as if he wants to vomit when he’s kissing her

candyperfumegirl | 11/5/2009, 12:54 pm EST

It makes sense that these two got together because nothing goes better than a washed up has been and a untalented never was.

Pranked | 11/5/2009, 1:04 pm EST

Not to be mean. but Gwen and Gavin make a much better looking couple and have real love for one another. They are the hottest rock couple! These two look like fake mannequins. The whole thing looks like a staged setup for some reality show or something. I am sorry but I would have expected better for a man who has been a creative zenith so many years, but instead he gives us the same old Hollywood cliche. Plus it was photographed by the same people for Brad and Jen? Hello that marriage failed and Brad moved on to a woman with more thoughts in her head than just what color her highlights should be and more love in her heart. Maybe Trent will do the same, we can only hope.

Ryan | 11/6/2009, 12:22 pm EST

Wow, Trent should raise his standards. He may be Botoxed within an inch of his life but he still looks great to me.
MQ looks like Miss Swan on meth. Her attitude makes her truly ugly. BTW, who marries the town strawberry?? Dude, everybody has picked this berry. Look at her Myspace…..
Reznor, you’re supposed to hump the strippers in the back of your car, not marry them. I feel sorry for Miss Swan though because I really don’t think she understands that no one thinks she’s cool for *marrying* Trent. They think, “wow, glad she’s the victim, not me.” Vice versa…Trent, nobody thinks you look like “da man”..you look like simp 2009 who didn’t have self esteem to get a hot chick…that actually wears panties, respects herself, or has talent..or hell, can just be a productive member of society. This chick’s scope of knowledge is about as extensive as what nail polish color she likes. Uber Fail. No fool like an old Fool. Reznor, you should be embarrased, but I have the feeling you don’t have the humility to be.

AcidBurn | 11/6/2009, 8:17 pm EST

In the words of his brain dead street trash wife and all her stupid tweets….MASSIVE FAIL Trent!!!

#1 fanboy | 11/8/2009, 3:33 am EST

it was bound to happen sometime..cheers to one of the best songwriters and lyricist of our time..no one mentioned that saul williams album he did in 07, that sh*t was supertight too..

PoorChoice | 11/8/2009, 11:00 pm EST

Poor Trent, like all men thinking with the wrong head yet again. People would be happy more if these two weren’t so ghetto and sad all summer long posting mindnumbing tweets back and forth like teenagers and then getting mad when people were upset over certain things. Hello! You brought the attention on yourselves. If you can’t stand the heat, then get the hell out of the kitchen! Now he is back on again, yet another desperate attempt to keep his very dim falling star still in the sky. How sad Trent, how sad. As long as we don’t have to hear from yr lesser half, please keep her to her globs and globs of makeup, chain smoking, and shopping sprees with your cash(Hint maybe she could use some of the dough for voice lessons, seriously, it is like a cat dying when she sings, nails on a chalkboard when she talks, don’t know how he can stand it.) then maybe this time around people will be ok. If you just show us some kind of sign this is real, this is love, not lust, not midlife crisis desperation, then maybe the critics won’t burn you so badly again.

annoynamous | 11/9/2009, 10:33 am EST

That wedding pick look like the two plastic ppl on top of the wedding cake.Its horrible, but all the picks of them two together are.Especially the kissing it’s like kissing a stranger on the street.Oh wait she is the stranger on the street, corner.She is a trashy basement bargain ghetto hooker twitter order bride who will never make it cause she can’t sing to save her life.Whatever it is he’s trying to sell here isn’t working and his career’s over and done with.

Anonymous | 11/9/2009, 8:38 pm EST

You haters all need to shut the f**k up! I think Trent made the decision that he thinks is best for him. It sounds to me like you are all being a bunch of whiny teenagers who are jealous bcuz you’re not marrying Trent. Remember that it is normal to want to destroy something or someone you can never have or be. So STOP HATING! YOU PEOPLE ARE BEING RIDICULOUS AND IMMATURE! I think he’s awesome and a genius and how can a genius be stupid? Ponder that if you would. And before you start calling her the Yoko Ono of NIN, think for a second that maybe, just maybe they are in love. Let them be happy and stay out of it. I think she’s beautiful. Great choice Trent! :) Congratulations and Good Luck! I wish you two many happy years. :)

Daniel theGreat | 11/10/2009, 11:49 am EST

wow hope for the best…as long she don’t distract him from his music and all..and i wonder if he would still write depressing songs

SoNotYoko | 11/10/2009, 1:19 pm EST

To compare her as the Yoko of NIN is an insult to Yoko because unlike this street walker with no talent who just got lucky, Ono has talent. She was raised very well, in a sophisticated well off family, went to good schools, and was a well established and respected artist long before John ever entered the picture. Infact she didn’t pursue him in the beginning, but he insisted because he was so taken by her genius. It was Yoko who wrote many poems that turned into many hit songs for Lennon like Imagine. They both protested very vital and important issues of the 60’s. They were movers and shakers, life changers. This couple is nothing more than a dumb 20 something ho looking for someone to make her famous, you can find these types of girls all over L.A. He is nothing more than a sad old man who just gave in so he doesn’t have to be alone and have kids before he is literally all dried up. Looking at his face, he is already there. You can find these type of men all over L.A. So please don’t even bring John and Yoko up because that was real love and real talent and to this day he is so greatly missed and their kind of love and union is so greatly admired. As for these two, I doubt it will go past a year. Just being honest.

Eden | 11/10/2009, 2:41 pm EST

Marlyn Manson said that Trent Reznor had “sh*tty taste in women” in his autobiography, and I can see why Ditta Von Teese is a class act compared to Mariqueen Maandig, at least from what I know about them. I of course don’t know them personally so hopefully I am wrong.

BROWNbrother | 11/11/2009, 2:23 pm EST

When will the hating stop?!! Whether you like it or not, he’s married to a woman. Race or background? Who gives an flying f*ck. To all the haters and name callers. F*CK OFF! Try getting married..or better yet, try even getting lucky.lol

BROWNbrother | 11/11/2009, 2:24 pm EST

*Who gives a flying f*ck! ooppss

Anonymous | 11/15/2009, 5:08 pm EST

Congrats to Trent and his new wife! Hope they find love and peace and thanks for all the great music!

AA | 11/16/2009, 1:03 am EST

I feel sorry and fearful for Mariqueen. It is obvious she is a trophy wife and trophies don’t last very long on the shelf. They look pretty for awhile and are celebrated but usually get replaced with something bigger and better. New, fresh, young, exciting, and completely fake. I hope she can handle when she gets dumped and knocked off the shelf. Better build success and a personality beyond shopping so it won’t be such a hard trip to the trash can. Best wishes.

WakeUpandSmellTheCoffee | 11/16/2009, 1:06 am EST

I wonder what nail polish she picked to wear for the wedding. We all know that is what is most important to her. Probably red, fits the vampire she is. Keep sucking Q.

BOB | 11/16/2009, 7:17 pm EST

What is with all the people that don’t know how to spell? Anyways I just hope the marriage goes well and NIN isn’t done for good.

Anonymous | 11/17/2009, 10:44 pm EST

omg what a bunch of haters! so what if he’s marrying a fucking fame seeker and what not! It’s his life and he can choose whoever he wants. Now if he screws up that his problem, the better music we get lol.

Green | 11/18/2009, 1:50 am EST

W.O.W. Reading so many different people’s opinion of one man’s life is interesting. I say congrats Trent. I have been a fan of his for the last 12 years, his music has inspired me on many levels in life. In my opinion he is tired of being angry and wants someone to share his life with, and have some babies. As far as his wife, well time will tell. I do not know either of them PERSONALLY. and no one else on this blog does…so yea chill the fuck out

Congrats Trent and Q! | 11/18/2009, 11:31 am EST

Wow people on here really have NO LIFE to be judging someone they don’t even know!

People need to read and do something else please! Most likely a bunch of fat pasty goth girls and old ladies, the kind of hags poor Trent is sick of watching night after night in his audience. Glad to be rid of that and finally look at a pretty girl. If she really was such a fame seeker too, there are a lot better, richer, hotter men out there she could of attached herself to. In the big picture, Trent isn’t as well known or popular as some frontman. She also isn’t as hot as some leadsingers and girls in L.A. so maybe, just maybe, they do LOVE eachother.

NIN has some of the most loyal fans but that isn’t always a good thing. Just look at how they want to control his life and his wife. People stop the hating and get over it already! Go on a diet, get some sun! Let the poor man finally hang up the leather and fishnets. It looks foolish on someone his age anyway. If it doesn’t work out, look on the bright side. He will be angry again and give us some good old NIN music. I just wish them the best and can’t wait to see baby NIN. Congrats T and Q!

Anonyawesome | 11/18/2009, 1:18 pm EST

I think this comment-thread wins the award for saddest and most pathetic comments. Seriously, what does it matter if he’s married? Nothing. Unless of course, you’re one of those fat goths that actually dreamed about Trent Reznor flying through your window to de-virginize you…then I suppose it would be a big deal. Seriously, the amount of jealousy evidenced on this article is pathetic. I think a few of you need to either seek mental help, or at least take a step back and re-evaluate your lives.
