There has been worldwide speculation about the Goth rockstar's wedding, including where it's on, who's going to it and who's doing the food and the cake.

And now it appears, that with Masterchefs Munster winning what is considered one of the most lucrative international contracts of the year, most if not all associated personnel required for the top secret event, will also be from Limerick including electricians, plumbers and even security.

The exact location in Ireland of the four day wedding, taking place from this Friday to Monday, was still being speculated upon this week and as soon as it emerges, the international press corps will descend. In the meantime, all the usual suspects, Ashford Castle and Dromoland, are being closely watched.

The 35-year-old singer, infamous for his macabre lyrics and gruesome stage shows, is marrying his Playboy model and stripper girlfriend of the last five years, 33-year-old Dita von Teese, whose most celebrated asset is her 16” waist in a PVC corset.

A-list celebrities will be attending, including, it is expected, close friend Lisa Marie Presley and British designer, Vivienne Westwood, who has created Dita's gown.

Founder and owner of Masterchefs, whose head office is in Epicurean House on Robert Street, well known Limerick businessman and masterchef, Pat O'Sullivan, declined to comment when contacted by the Post this Tuesday.

Industry sources say however that if he has won the contract, it is "quite likely that he is signed into a confidentiality clause” as Vogue magazine has purchased the rights to covering the wedding.

The Limerick Post understands however that about 50 people will be sent by Masterchefs to provide all of the catering services, from the chefs who will prepare a traditional Irish banquet, to the housekeeping staff who will look after the guests' rooms in the secret location which is expected will be a romantic country house or hotel.

One reliable source, who did not want to be named, said that he had heard that the guests, guessed at under 100 in number, will be dining on traditional Irish cuisine including spit-roasted pig, duckling, Dublin Bay prawns and lobster.

And while speculation continues about the venue in which the four day celebrations will take place, Mr King, who is the tourism director for Shannon Development added; "If Masterchefs have won the contract, I'd imagine it's on not too far away, the company has a good network all over Munster. But I can certainly confirm, that it's not happening in Bunratty Castle,” he smiled.

Meanwhile, sources within the hospitality industry have told the Limerick Post that this contract must have been won by Masterchefs several months ago as an "enormous amount of planning would have to be involved”.

This source also revealed that a "tasting session” would also have been demanded. So one can only speculate whether or not Marilyn and Deta secretly dropped by Moll Darby's restaurant at some stage last Spring, which is Masterchefs' flagship restaurant.

Manson is a a regular target for religious and conservative groups who claim that he exerts a dangerous influence on young fans. His new greatest hits DVD, for instance, contains the controversial video for s(AINT), which features charming scenes of the singer snorting cocaine, masturbating, vomiting, having sex with transvestites and slicing his chest with a razor blade.

And it won't be known until after the ceremony if there is any truth in the rumour that the bride and groom will lick each others blood from cut fingers rather than the more traditional custom of exchanging rings. One thing can be relied upon however, no doubt, and that's that the groom will be wearing more make-up than the bride.

Pat O'Sullivan formed Masterchefs Limerick, a subsidiary of Masterchefs Hospitality, 12 years ago. The company has gone from strength to strength since then, winning all of Shannon Development's contracts in 2001. They also hold the Thomond Park catering contract and have also won a number of high profile corporate events like the Irish Open as well celebrity events like Bryan McFadden's wedding.
