Shock rocker Marilyn Manson married his longtime girlfriend Saturday in Ireland, People magazine reported on its Web site.

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

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 reported.

It was the first marriage for both.

Sounds like it was a serious and nice affair – much different than what I would have expected from such a showman.

Manson enlisted designer John Galliano to fashion his wedding day garb, a black silk taffeta tuxedo. The rocker topped off the ensemble with a Stephen Jones hat. Von Teese sported a royal purple silk taffeta gown designed by Vivienne Westwood.

“It will be a drama within a drama,” he said. “Rather than just have a best man, I have a worst man too — I had two friends, and I had a hard time deciding.” He said that his friends were planning to hire “the great grandchildren of [Adolf Hitler's architect] Albert Speers to light the castle” and that there would be “children in makeup, dressed in these wonderful 19th century outfits, serving absinthe frappe.”

The couple started dating nearly five years ago, and Manson proposed more than a year ago. The wedding is the first for both. But Manson did gripe about one aspect when it came to his imminent nuptials exchange.

And this is my favorite part. Too funny…

“I got f—ed out of a bachelor party, because — quite honestly, I have to agree with her — Dita said, ‘Why should you have a bachelor party? That’s your whole life,’ ” he explained. “‘What are you going to do, get drunk and look at naked women?’ And I guess that’s what I do every day.”
