Goth nuptials of the decade: Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman get hitched (illustration, like that of Sea Monkees, is fanciful)

The nerdery on the interwebz is all aflutter with news that Boston's eyebrowless princess of musical theater Weimarlesque Amanda Palmer (formerly of the Dresden Dolls) and dapper Brit Gothic funnybook scribe Neil Gaiman have tied the knot, quite possibly in a Wiccan ceremony officiated by Tori Amos at an abandoned Scottish abbey modded by a team of the world's top steampunk scientists and decorated by a gaggle of undead Berlin degenerates from the 1920s.*

Here is a wedding snapshot, courtesy of the bride's Twitpics:

* Details are fanciful. UPDATE: Wedding occurred in Ayelet Waldman and Michael Chabon's "parlour" (according to Wikipedia, "Waldman and Chabon currently live in a 1907 Craftsman house in the Elmwood section of Berkeley, California").

Wow, just read an article where Amanda Palmer admits she worked as a S&M Hooker. She really is as low as you can get.

Gaiman and Palmer's betrayal and lies have created a web of sickness. As Scientologists, they just don't get what it means to be human. They use people and continue to lie about their real affiliations. Everything they do is a performance, including this idiotic wedding. Marriage means nothing to them. They are fulfilling a Scientology contract and live apart. Gaiman and Palmer are liars and deceivers. They deserve no respect.

Gaiman and Palmer are revolting, talentless fame whores. You will never get anywhere because you both suck.

Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer aredamaged Scientologist workaholics who have been paired together to make money.Gaiman has a long history of paying Scientology six figures and Amanda Palmer'smother is a Mockett, and the Mockett family trust is listed in Scientologyorganizations. The cult arranges contractual partnerships.

Gaiman and Palmer are desperatenarcissists, trying to get power from their association, but their deludedScientology philosophy lacks any empathy or self awareness, so this articlereads like a goofy overshare about an obscure band most people have never heardof.

After failing dismally with her ownattempts to make a record, Amanda Palmer is trying to resurrect her associationwith the dolls, who were at best, a novelty act. Whatever.

Palmer is not just untalented andincapable of writing a descent song or hitting a note, she seems to be bipolaror mentally impaired. After a series of bizarre marketing moves that range fromsexting naked pictures of herself and making racist remarks involving the KKK,she mocked the disabled with her idiotic co-joined twins project, dressing upwith Webley as disabled people.

What Gaiman is really good at isglad-handing his way into the spotlight. He seems to have no standards, jumpingfrom comics to sprawling, badly plotted novels and short stories that read likehe threw them into the back of the drawer in high school, followed by children'sbooks along with mutilation death **** with Palmer as the subject. Gaiman evendefended Palmer's idiotic KKK remark on Twitter.

Gaiman and Palmer aren't interesting,just a desperate joke.

Another Scientology abomination; marriage as a contract to desperately pursue power. Gaiman and Palmer are lying, cheating, deceptive scumbags who threw their partners under the bus to cash in on the Scientology promise of money and fame. 

Each of you will curse the other until all that is left is pain and ash.

Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer certainly make a repulsive pair. He  feeds millions of dollars to the cult of Scientology and is a misogynist hack. She sexts ugly naked twitter photos covered in swear words and disgusting pictures of herself and has herself dead and stuffed into toilets and shopping carts.  Gaiman is a purveyor of shoddy, mediocre rubbish and Palmer is a crap musician who can’t sing or write, so she tries to be shocking.

How fitting she has married Gaiman, since her message seems to be that woman are disposable objects. Palmer has nothing worthwhile to say, she’s gross and embarrassing.

Every moment of this idiotic relationship is performed on the Internet as if we were all blind. They will both subject the world to every detail of their existence from the timing of Palmer's menstruation to the length of Gaiman's bowl movements.

Gaiman and Palmer are damaged cult members and don't exist without an audience and now draw the same reaction a circus geek draws when he/she bites the head off a chicken.... meh. gross. Turn the channel.

In the best tradition of "Goth" weddings. May you both rot in peace.

I discovered and fell in love with AFP and Neil Gaiman in two fully separate ways. For a long time, the Dresden Dolls were my favorite band that I'd not let my parents hear, and Neil Gaiman was my favorite author whose work I hadn't read. Though both no longer qualify for these distinctions, they've stayed in my plain old favorites list ever since. Both artists gained many points when a side note on a youtube video informed me that they were dating.

P.S. The interenet never ceases to amaze when it comes to people who have nothing better to do than complain to no one about non-mainstream things on websites that just added a comment section to avoid getting the complaints by email. Irony intended.

I am astounded at the bile expressed in some of these comments. You don't like their work? Fine. Don't engage with it. Plenty of people do want to. Comments like "pathetic try hard losers" and "awful, racist amateurs" reflect far more on the character and ignorance of those who post them than they ever could on the two artists - much of whom's work is charming, elegant and great fun to engage with.

Charming? Elegant? Are you kidding????

Palmer's in love with the power she thinks Gaiman can get her (he can't), and Gaiman's in love with the stage and hijacking the 50 members of the Dresden Dolls audience (may have over-estimated there).

Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman make sure there's a verbal description or a photographer snapping a picture of every "intimate" moment.

Break-up with innocent drummer boyfriend selfishly exploited on AFP's blog? Check!

Publicity campaign of Neil and Amanda posed together cooking in a fake kitchen, as farmer and wife, in a bathtub, on a roof, making a tossed together film, on stage together, in a poster, in doll form, etc, ad nauseum (all within 6 months) released while their ex's try to figure out WTF's happening? Check!!!!

Naked sharpie pics of Palmer sexted to Gaiman released on the internet? Check!

Engagement with a sharpie? Check! (Yeah! There's a photographer there, strangely!)

Engagement breakfast? Check! (I think the photographer sleeps with them).

Hairy, naked strip show on the ONLY red carpet these morons will ever see? Check!

Pictures of bathroom at the awards show? Check! (classy)

Boring description of upper level seating at Oscars (where the tag-along writer of optioned material Gaiman was seated so he wouldn't bother anyone) while twittering? Check!

Mock Marriage ceremony on the street? Check!

Scientology mock wedding ceremony at Chabon's house! Check!

Sex life of your fiancee detailed in Spin article? Check!

Fiancee having private break down moment about doomed career detailed in Spin article?

Check and publish!

The only aspect of their relationship they've edited was the disgusting Cabaret artwork of Gaiman giving Palmer head. Maybe at their annual Scientology board meeting, er, I mean intimate talk they decided to keep that one all to themselves.To Amanda Palmer's peer boyfriend who was dumped for Grandpa Gaiman. You weren't dumped my friend, you were disconnected, Scientology style.

Gaiman is a hack with a failing career having a midlife crisis and Palmer just blows. They will keep desperately trying to get attention for their substandard work. I wish they would both move to Australia.

Neil Gaiman is underwriting Scientology. The Scientologists list Neil Gaiman in the Cornerstone Newsletter along with Mary Gaiman, as contributing $35,000.00 in 2009. Being listed in the Cornerstone Newsletter means you are in good-standing with the cult.

In 2010, Mary Gaiman was awarded the "Gold Humanitarian Award" for her contribution of $500,000.00 to Scientology. This is significant because Mary Gaiman continues to be Neil Gaiman’s business partner in The Blank Corporation, which is now Neil Gaiman's Scientology front and how he pays the cult.

Gaiman is also the "Vitamin Heir" of Scientology. The Gaiman family owns G&G Vitamins which reaps 6 million a year from selling The Purification Rundown Vitamins.

Gaiman's two sisters, Claire Edwards and Lizzie Calciole are not just high-ranking Scientologists, they are the head of RECRUITING and the head of Wealden House, the Scientology stronghold in East Grinstead. These two cannot associate with Neil unless he is in good standing.

Amanda Palmer would not be allowed anywhere near this royal family of Scientology unless she was also a Scientologist.

Really?
Really?

Trolling troll is trolling.

Gaiman and Palmer should write an internet marketing book about how to plaster the web with your shit. Gaiman writes shitty TV episodes of Dr. Who, that make no sense and Palmer is just cheap slut who can't sing or play. Annoying fuckheads.
