I have been queen of the leprechauns, twice The shame and humiliation may never wash off I helped officiate at two Celtic weddings, one couple were Irish living in London, the other couple were an English bride and Dutch groom, that ceremony took place in U2's hotel I agreed to participate once the words "Druid and Priestess" would not be used.
The first wedding was quite tasteful, I kept tight control of the proceedings and stopped it from becoming an Irish Vegas wedding, or something where the wedding pictures would turn up on funny internet sites for people to chortle and point at.
The second wedding was totally in the hands of my flaky ex-partner... pix n mix new age spirituality a specialty! It was also being organized by an event manager working her first gig, she was a real greenhorn. I gave up on trying to stop dickhead from turning the reception room into a garish, plastic grotto and went to have coffee with the event manager. We arrived back in the reception room shortly after a "cleansing" mishap. Smudging the area with burning rosemary left a bit of a hole in one of the drapes. The drippy druid was deeply involved in an important (made up) ritual. He was walking around the room smacking a pair of those Chinese musical, exercise ball thingies together, he looked like a total idiot! I was dying of embarrassment, flaky by association. The event manager looked totally confused, she didn't know how to react, I saw a cry for help in the look she gave me I took her gently by the elbow and said, "I think a man should have some privacy while he's playing with his balls".
We ran away laughing and went for more coffee The cheesiness of the rest of that day is best forgotten

Nice detail. But now we must consider who is bothering whom ...
