After announcing his upcoming wedding to longtime girlfriend Rochelle Deanna Karidis, Backstreet Boys' resident wild child A.J. McLean has invited friends and family to his upcoming December ceremony by way of blood-splattered wedding invitations!

The NKOTBSB star, 33, his fiancee, 30, will tie the knot at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles on Dec. 17 with a gothic-styled celebration. Despite his boy band day job, A.J. has a dark side! In fact, the couple pushed back their original May 2010 wedding date after A.J. checked into rehab for the third time to address his long history of substance abuse.

As pictured on TMZ, the couple's black wedding invitations contain red, bloody lettering and creepy gothic imagery. The self-proclaimed "groomzilla" revealed the film that inspired his wedding day theme to OK! Magazine. "My fiancée is wearing a black dress. I am wearing a white suit, the theme is Moulin Rouge."

I spent last week in Florida for what was supposed to be a last hurrah of summer from Gucci Outlet Store ; the only problems with that plan were Tropical Storm Isaac and a wicked cold I brought from New York. What was supposed to be a week of fun in the sun ended up being a week of rest inside, but that meant more time with my family and more time to shop online. Before I left for Florida, I went to the Gucci NYC Flagship to check out their new stirrup collection and I was hooked. From the more structured options to the soft stirrup, there is something for everyone and every different lifestyle. While I ended up adding a new Gucci bag to my collection (post to come soon), there was another bag on my radar that I would have liked to add; the only problem was the price tag from Gucci Online Shopping.

Sounds like they hang with the same trash and classless croud as the Kartrashians.

Never mind "groomzilla" - "attention *****" sounds more appropriate. Stay classy, son.

If the wedding is not taken seriously, then the marriage wont be either. I give it 82 days or when he goes back to rehab...

My suggestion- let's retire this rear-end carbuncle to oblkivion with the Kardashians, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and all the other nonentities that continue to get way too much press and attention. Let's all just ignore them, and maybe they'll go away (or b ack to rehab)

Hi Kathy & Dean

Let us all realize that We would all have to go to Rehab to cleanse our minds & bodies of these meaningless non entities. Check out the story of Capt. Ed Freeman,Huey pilot, MEDAL OF HONOR winner on 11/1167, LZ X-ray. Maybe a friend of family member is alive today he was going in for Americans and wouldn't be stopped. Okay, the war not good but about on the level of the nonentities mentioned above.

Did anyone actually look at the pictures on TMZ? They're a very elegantly designed gothic style, and there's no real blood on them anywhere. Their names are just in red with only a few drop of red ink around them. This article is blowing it out of proportion.

Exactly. I don't see why this would take so much breath from the air. I observe 'gothic' as this beautiful, dark renaissance-style romanticism. It is a subculture and movement that inspires everything from musicians, literature, to designers. Nothing surprising a couple would want to embrace the moment they vow love forever in a custom they want to express it in. That's their choice. Congrats AJ. All the best.

Don't know why the post left out my 'Go Tigers!' in the brackets.
Hmm. SEC follower probably.

This is disturbing????? No, what's really disturbing are the "traditional" white invitations with the silver or gold embossed wedding rings or doves with the piece of useless tissue paper inside!!!! Why should they conform to others ideas of acceptable cliches and traditions?? I like being different than everybody else, too. I want to be remembered for uniqueness. I guess theirs gives a whole new meaning to "Till Death Do Us Part"!!!!!
