“I had no intention of getting married again but Barry was extremely persuasive,” she said. “He proposed to me on every single date we have had since August. He is extremely persuasive - and other unprintable things.”

Herridge, who counsels adolescents with addiction problems, first took an interest in Sinead’s love-life when he read accounts of the break-up of her relationship with musician Steve Cooney last year.

“I hadn’t met Sinead at the time but I felt something very, very strong,” he said.

“I love Sinead more than anyone I have ever met, or anybody I will ever meet. I am going to look after her.”

O’Connor has appealed for understanding from the media ahead of the wedding ceremony.

“Technically speaking, this is my third marriage as myself and Steve only had a blessing, not a legal ceremony, but I would really appreciate this time if people could be kind and not nasty. Good wishes would be greatly appreciated for two people who really deserve the happiness they bring each other,” she said.

“Early marriage is a vulnerable time and the behaviour of the Irish media when I was previously married provided insurmountable pressure.”

According to the paper, O’Connor and Herridge will be the only people at their ‘drive-thru’ wedding in Las Vegas, aside from the witnesses provided.

“People always complain, ‘you never invited me to your wedding’, but I prefer casual weddings. I’m so happy,” she said.
