God, I'm so beyond excited about this I can't tell you. A whole series of them! I'm practically orgasmic at the thought of all that neon polyester with black lace trim. And thigh boots. On toddlers. One of the brides has got sisters called Brenda, Berry and Babydoll. Babydoll!!!! What more could you ask for? Grin

Might have to go and position the armchair, and set out the popcorn right now.

Can't wait!!!!

My friend is from a Traveller family and she loves it too!

If you designed your wedding dress when you were 8 and wore it when you were 16 - this is what it would look like.

PlumBumMum · 18/01/2011 11:03

I loved the last series

Wonder will they update on previous couples would love to know how the girl who married the Irish guy is getting, she had only met him twice or something like that

FellatioNelson · 18/01/2011 11:03

Was that supposed to be a link Trill? Or did you just mean 'this' as in 'this programme'?

GwendolineMaryLacey · 18/01/2011 11:05

I've never heard of or seen this before but I've seen the trailers and I'm beside myself with excitement as well!

LittleDonkin · 18/01/2011 11:06

Joan who married the irish guy has left him and is pregnant! I read an interview with her in a mag!

This programme in general. No link. You can imagine :o

Lucyintheskywithdiazepam · 18/01/2011 11:11

I'be been to a few Irish Traveller weddings...the TV series will be good but nothing can compare to the reality!

Milngavie · 18/01/2011 11:16

I loved the last programme. Those dresses are just....indescribable! Grin

Poledra · 18/01/2011 11:18

I watched the last one recently, and felt really sad for Joan - she didn't seem happy and was absorbed with the wedding rather than the marriage.

PlumBumMum · 18/01/2011 11:27

Oh Littledonkin, poor Joan, wonder if they will do an update, I really felt for her too Poledra she just seemed lost

maighdlin · 18/01/2011 12:36

those two at the end of that photo made me cringe.

i loved joan from the last series she seemed like such a lovely girl.

can't wait for an entire series of it.

About five years ago I was in a restaurant (think crap family chain) when these people came in dressed like I have never seen people dressed like before. They were going to a wedding but were waiting to find out where it was???!

It was like an old episode of Come Dancing.

I'm afraid I just stared open mouthed. They were very loud and very argumentative, I think you would suffer a lot of headaches having to be around that all the time - just from the colour of the clothes.

FellatioNelson · 18/01/2011 13:16

'They were very loud and argumentative.'

Er, yes, I have had several similar 'chain restaurant' experiences. Shock I sat there with my mouth hanging open and trying not to stare, mostly. If that's what passes for normal behaviour in the middle of the day when they have small children with them, then God help me if I ever have to share a nightclub or a plane with them. Hmm

TwoIfBySea · 18/01/2011 14:14

There were no small children. Just adults.

CaveMum · 18/01/2011 17:09

Marking my place ready for this evening's entertainment.

mumto2andnomore · 18/01/2011 17:11

Cant wait either !

FanjolinaJolie · 18/01/2011 17:13

Can't wait can't wait can't wait!

nickelbabysnatcher · 18/01/2011 17:19

That's right, TwoIfBySea - i remember from the last programme that they had to keep the venues secret till last minute because of trouble.
:(

AtYourCervix · 18/01/2011 17:26

Brilliant. I sometimes wish I had the audacity to actually have a dress like that. Spectacularly frilly and huge.

Milngavie · 18/01/2011 20:47

Only a few minutes to go!....

juneybean · 18/01/2011 20:51

Wheee was just coming to make a thread Grin

Thingumy · 18/01/2011 20:57

I can't wait!
