In what was probably the strangest thing Tipperary had ever seen, controversial rock star Marilyn Manson married his long-time girlfriend Dita Von Teese last week in Castle Gurteen.

According to People magazine’s website Manson, married Von Teese at Tipperary’s Castle Gurteen — the home of a friend in Kilsheelan.

About 60 guests are thought to have attended the wedding.
