Marilyn Manson 'weds in Ireland'

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has married his girlfriend in Ireland, People magazine reported on its website.

Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, wed 33-year-old Heather Sweet in front of about 60 guests at Castle Gurteen, the home of a friend in Kilsheelan, County Tipperary yesterday, the magazine said.

Sweet is a burlesque dancer who uses the stage name Dita Von Teese. They have been dating for four years and Manson proposed at their Los Angeles home in March 2004, People said.

It was the first marriage for both.

Manson, 36, wore a black silk taffeta tuxedo and Von Teese was in royal purple silk taffeta with a corset. They traded vows and were married in a non-denominational ceremony conducted by underground filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, a friend of Manson, the Los Angeles-based magazine reported.
