Marilyn
Manson & Dita Von Teese Wedding
Who: shock
rocker Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) and burlesque performer
Dita Von Teese (Heather Sweet)
When : December
3, 2005
Where: The
couple were bound together for eternity at Castle Gurteen in
County Tipperary, Ireland.
Pre-wedding Festivities:
The day prior to the nuptials guests raised their glasses in
a toast to their friends inside a plant-laden conservatory at
the Kilshane House, a Regency era masterpiece situated on 320
sylvan acres.
The Ceremony:
In a ceremony conducted by director Alejandro Jodorowsky, whose
theatrical vision is as cutting edge as that of the bride and
groom, 60 guests (including Lisa Marie Presley) watched as Marilyn
slipped a wedding band from William Harold Jewelers on to Dita's
finger, which was already adorned with a 7-carat round-cut diamond
engagement ring.
As the couple professed
their devotion in self-penned vows, the bride gifted her love
with a platinum band with an onyx inlay from artist Dana Schneider,
who created the jewelry seen in the feature films "Daredevil,"
'Matrix Reloaded," and the Johnny Depp thriller "From
Hell."
The Dress:
The petticoats of Dita's deep purple silk taffeta Vivienne Westwood
gown rustled as she walked down the aisle in shoes fashioned
by Paris-based designer Christian Louboutin. Cinching in her
famous 16-inch wasp waist, Dita wore a corset constructed by
Mr. Pearl, who also designed the intimate undergarment worn
by Victoria
"Posh Spice" Adams for her wedding to David Beckham
at Luttrellstown Castle in 1999. A tri-corner hat by milliner
Stephen Jones completed the ensemble's darkly romantic look.
In harmony with
the bride, the groom also donned a chapeau by Stephen Jones,
the perfect accent for his black silk taffeta tuxedo edged in
velvet from designer John Galliano.
The Reception:
Limerick-based caterers Masterchefs Munster provided the evening's
repast, which is rumored to have consisted of such delicacies
as roasted pig, lobster and Dublin Bay prawns.
