Backstreet Boys bad boy A.J. McLean has finally set a date for his upcoming wedding.

The boy band star will marry his punk rock model fiance Rochelle Deanna Karidis in a private ceremony this December, according to Contact Music.

McLean – currently on tour with the boy-band supergroup NKOTBSB – proposed to Karidis last year while celebrating his 32nd birthday at a Las Vegas nightclub. Their wedding was originally supposed to take place in May.

Those plans changed in January, however, when McLean entered rehab for undisclosed "personal reasons."

Now, with McLean healthy and his career back on track, the pair have finally sent friends and family 'Save the Date' notices for December 17. The wedding will reportedly be held in Beverly Hills and be officiated by photographer Tyler Shields.

The NKOTBSB Tour – pairing the Backstreet Boys with 1980s favourites New Kids on the Block – continues throughout the summer, before wrapping up in London, Ontario in August.
