Big fat gypsy weddings

[LittleDonkin]

So looking forward to this!!!! I loved it last time!

They twist your arm to hurt you more and more until you give them a kiss... nice

So glad they mentioned that, people usually dont believe me when i say how ingrained it is in to life. And if you didnt know about that bit then believe me theres so much more you dont know about :(

We had some girls at the nursery I was at last year, they're so beautiful, but their older sister left after year 6 and wasn't going to high school even though she wanted to :(

Completely fascinating. I loved the last one and was impressed with how well it was done, not pointing and laughing at all, and it showed the positive elements of traveller life (family, community, identity) as well as the negative. It's so interesting because it's a culture that non travellers hardly know anything about, which is sad seeing as it's a british culture and we often live side by side with them. I must admit to having a prurient interest in the dresses but I genuinely think from a sociological pov it's a fascinating culture.

giraffes, what else?

Agree with everything in Eric's post except for prurient as don't know what that means..

I think it's really fascinating their lifestyle is completely alien to me.

Tbh I love the dresses - perhaps I'm secretly an 8 year old girl :)

ummmmm...nosy and inappropriate

omg that dress for a 7 years old

Johnboy

Oh she's tiny! How will she MOVE in that dress???!!!

Who wore that dress in Coming To America?

Nicer to look at then to be there, I think. Hope Joan wasn't beaten black and blue by her fella.

is that pink thing a bridesmaid dress?

Was it not the main girl at the end?

I'm enjoying this - she seems lovely (the one getting married). I find the Gypsy community fascinating - have always wanted to know more about it.

I googled once re why there is always so much rubbish outside Gypsy caravans/houses, and apparently it's because they don't keep any rubbish inside. Which has a certain logic to it - makes perfect sense really. I wonder why a whole culture has developed where that's the case, when it's not anywhere else I can think of?

I had an uncle Johnboy (deceased)

ohemgee !

First communion I think.

Now that pink communion dress is just ridiculous.

poor kid called baby doll

Hassled - they don't have bins in Morocco, all rubbish gets collected several times a day in carrier bags and left outside until someone goes past the bins.

do they not legally have to be in school at age 11?

They can be home educated...

I'm not sure, there's a traveller support worker but keeps tabs on them all.... hmm
