Car problem stalled Corey Taylor + wife Alicia’s wedding night

Slipknot and Stour Sour frontman Corey Taylor’s 2019 wedding night with wife Alicia saw a memorable delay after the classic sports car they rented for photos struggled with the car.

Alicia Taylor, née Dove, the main dancer behind rock and roll cabaret company Cherry Bombs, recalled the story on a fun Twitter thread recently. She revealed the details for Valentine’s Day 2021 in a romantic toast to the time she and the Slipknot singer tied the knot.

The difficulty started that fall evening in Nevada’s Valley of Fire, 50 miles outside of Las Vegas, when Corey and Alicia were the last left after the photo shoot. Corey was supposed to drive the 1960s Shelby Cobra back to the rental location, Alicia followed her in her vehicle. But when the Cobra collapsed on the side of the road, the couple’s wedding night plans had to be rearranged.

“Before I could poke my head out the window to see if he’s okay,” Alicia said. “I saw him grabbing and trying to shake the steering wheel when he screamed, ‘FUCKKKKK !!! YOU STUPID SHIT! AHHHH !!!’ Into the deep, dark abyss of the desert. No cars in sight. No lights. We could Don’t leave that Cobra from 1965 or 68 or whatever in the middle of the street, so he popped that fool into neutral, and we – him in His beautiful suit and myself in the one thing I wore for this wedding , a designer dress – pushed the car aside from the road. “

From there, when the two were pushing back their dinner reservation for the evening, Corey made it to a gas station down the street for just a few gallons of gas so as not to improve the situation. In the process, Corey became soaked in fuel, and Alicia tore open her wedding dress and stained it.

“A few more loud explosives are being sent into the universe,” Alicia continued, “and I’ll jump out to help. He smells like someone on a pit crew. He puts the other cans in the tank and tries to kill the car . ” Nothing. Battery? Starter? What could it be? We’re sitting in my car to take a breather. It’s the first time we’ve stopped and REALLY looked at each other since that cluster fuck started. And we laugh. Hysterical. Tears are pouring down. My face laughed so hard and in that moment I knew that he was a perfect match for me. “

Eventually, Corey and Alicia completely canceled their reservation at the fancy Nobu restaurant and instead opted for a late dinner at a restaurant in their hotel. That, of course, made quite a sight for a waiter to see the couple in “gasoline and dirt-covered fancy wedding outfits with disheveled hair and a fire on the exhaust pipe on their leg,” Alicia said. “He probably smelled us before he saw us.”

She added that the moral of the story is “to find someone to laugh with, especially when shit hits the fan. It can be a partner, friend, co-worker, anyone. Find that person and appreciate them.” You them. “

Talk about a wedding night to remember.
