Irish musician turned priest Sinéad O’Connor got herself married yesterday (for the 4th time, mind you) to her addiction counselor boyfriend turned fiancée (of only 3 months) Barry Herridge … in Las Vegas, NV. Sinéad and Barry didn’t get married in any ol’ LV wedding chapel, they got married at THE infamous Little Wedding Chapel … using their drive-thru ceremony option … complete with a pink Cadillac and an Elvis Presley impersonator. Yes, seriously. Click below to see some photos from the couple’s wacky wedding and read some even wackier deets about the couple’s courtship leading up to their nuptials.

Sinead O’Connor only announced two days ago she would wed her unknown boyfriend of three months in a ceremony on Thursday. And true to her word, the eccentric Irish singer tied the knot for the fourth time in a quickie Las Vegas wedding on her 45th birthday yesterday. She walked down the aisle with Irish therapist Barry Herridge, who she met online, at the famous Little White Wedding Chapel in Nevada’s Sin City. The ceremony lasted just 15 minutes and the couple invited no guests – even Sinead’s four children – apart from the cameramen. She described the ceremony on her blog as ‘Too glorious for words’, and promised to tell all when she was less distracted enjoying time with her new husband. She also posted a picture of an empty chapel, with the caption: .Photo of the celebrity guests at our wedding’. Sinead dressed unusually girly yesterday and looked to have lost weight, looking more like her Nothing Compares 2 U heyday in the 1990s. The tomboy wore a strapless pastel pink maxi dress and chunky pink metallic and silver heels. But she failed to conceal her numerous tattoos, including a massive design on her chest, and is still sporting her trademark shaved head. Barry wore a suit over a pink shirt that matched Sinead’s dress and had a red rose in his lapel that matched her bouquet. The couple looked smitten with one another, sharing a passionate kiss for the cameras and staring into each other’s eyes as they walked sown the isle after being pronounced husband and wife. They cuddled up on a pink Cadillac – reminiscent of Elvis Presley’s iconic car – before heading to a hotel in the gambling capital of America. Sinead even shed a few tears as she sat with her new husband before they headed to a hotel for their wedding night. She has only been dating Barry, who works as a counselor for people with addiction problems in Dublin, for three months. He replied after she wrote on her blog in September that she was ‘sex-starved’ and asked potential suitors to apply online. ‘Barry sent me this wonderful email, which just took my heart away,’ she told the Irish Independent before flying out from Heathrow to the U.S yesterday. ‘It had to be him… I had no intention of getting married again but Barry was extremely persuasive. He proposed to me on every single date we have had since August. He is extremely persuasive — and other unprintable things.’ The pair met up at a coffee shop and apparently ‘talked for hours’ … The singer shocked the nation by writing a series of candid blog posts on her website earlier this year, detailing specific requirements she was looking for in a man. She wrote in September that she was in ‘desperate need of a very sweet sex-starved man,’ but specified that they ‘must be no younger than 44, must not be named Brian or Nigel, must be blind enough to think I’m gorgeous, has to be employed and he has to like his mother.’ And it seems she’s found her perfect partner in Barry after a whirlwind romance. The singer has been married three times before – including to music producer John Reynolds, journalist Nicholas Sommerlad and most recently to Steve Cooney, who she wed in July last year, but divorced in April. She has four children from various relationships.

I honestly do not even know what to say. Congrats seems … not right. I remember hearing about Sinéad‘s seemingly crazy rant online over the Summer about being desperate for sex and her need for a man … but I honestly never thought she’d find Mr. Right so quickly. I like to be a positive person and I tend to believe in love but … yeah … this relationship just seems way too crazy for me to have too much faith in. I suppose we should wish the happy couple all the best for a long and successful marriage. In the grand scheme of life, crazier things have happened so … I guess there is a glimmer of hope that these two can enjoy a happy life together. Nothing Compares 2 a Vegas Wedding, I suppose. Best of luck Sinéad and Barry … I’m thinking you’re gonna need all the Vegas luck in the world!!
