My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding Channel 4

[sailorsgal]

Anyone watching.

I could imagine MIL's face if I'd showed up in a dress like that.

Perfectly made dresses, really fab craftsmanship. Would love to know how much they cost, 3-4k?

I think Roma are officially recognised as a race aren't they, so it is racist discrimination.

sadly, historically, gypsies are possibly the most persecuted races on earth.

god i am jealous of the wedding cake with flashing stars!

Wow this one is fairly restrained.

the midnight blue dresses are quite nice.

I don't think these guys are roma are they? They're Irish.

Disco outfits. My word. If what they say about their moral behaviour is true those guys must have a lot to think about at night

(meaning when they say their moral behaviour is good!) is what I mean of course

those outfits sheesh

it's very fascinating

I'm curious at the difference between how the girls are brought up and expected to behave within the community and how they dress as wedding guests.

Sounds like it is a strict upbringing and reputation very much needs to be kept intact - yet the outfits on some of those young guests were beyond revealing.

Does anyone know why this is?

Only started watching how old are the girls that are getting married?

What a beautiful girl Joan is

I think the culture is stifling for young girls. So controlling.

Sammy-Jo is a Roma I think.

Bridget and Joan are Irish travellers.

I think the average age is 17.

Joan is 22 and considered quite old.

yup am really confused by the disconnect between appearance and behaviour too. Those parents saying how their girl wasn't allowed to do this and that but the picture of her with her boobs and her tummy!

think they dress like that at weddings as it is their only opportunity to snag a husband?

It is very restirctive for girls.
THey are not allowed many freedoms.

this part was on danny dyer, they race horses up and down, it's frightening! lots of bare knuckle boxing

Did you see the baby in the pram.
