Irish, Scot's Gaelic, Manx, Breton, maybe Cornish. Therefore the Irish are Celts. The Scot's Gaelic speakers are Celts. The Bretons, Welsh, Manx speakers are Celts. People who don't speak the language but share all the other aspects of the culture have some claim to being Celts. Germanic language speakers including English speakers are not Celts. Simples.
For the love of Pete! Give it a rest will ya? This thread is about a wedding. Would it be impossible for you over-educated types to miss a chance to argue about something of little importance?
