Cradle Of Filth Keyboardist Zoë M. Federoff and guitarist Marek ‘Ashok’ Šmerda just got married.
The couple took to Instagram to announce the good news to their fans and friends.
Dani Filth and the rest of the band joined the ceremony. He shared some photos from the ceremony on Instagram and congratulated the couple. “We had an absolutely wonderful day yesterday celebrating the marriage of Ashok and Zoe in Tucson, Arizona amidst a plethora of family and friends. Congratulations to the married couple…. Mr and Mrs Smerda!”
The wedding comes after their engagement last year.
When Federoff announced her engagement to Šmerda a year ago, she wrote: “First of all, thank you all so much for your warm wishes and congratulations. Secondly, I truly wish I didn’t feel the need to completely clear this up but there’s a lot of strange rumors and stories floating around so, take note: I never knew Ashok before I joined COF. He had nothing to do with me coming on board. I have already written some material for the next COF album so clearly our engagement has nothing to do with my continued stay in this band.”
“We have no plans to leave COF as we truly enjoy working together, not to mention working with several of our closest friends. Dani has been the greatest and most supportive leader possible when it comes to our engagement. We remain happily committed to his team in COF,” she added.
Federoff joined Cradle of Filth in 2022, replacing Annabelle Iratni, while Ashok has been part of the band since 2014.
