gypsy wedding

did anyone see the big fat gypsy wedding last night on channel 4 it was compelling tv it was about wedding dresses the bigger they were the more the brides loved them, it also showed you the lengths that they go to in order to perfect their appearance from spray tans and glitter ot false eyelashes for the kids and im talking about 7 and 8 year olds, i could not look away it was fascinating and gripping, did you watch it or thought what rubbish

I saw that programme, it was a bit bizarre. I was in a bookstore the other day, and saw that the woman who makes the dresses has a book out. Moneyspinner for her.

I have watched it occassionally. My question is where does all the money come from to pay for the weddings and the top of the range caravans that have suddenly appeared on the local Leisure Centre car park?

I love watching Big Fat Gypsy Weddings. It has not really changed my opinion of gypsies or travellers, if any thing I think the program has perpetuated stereotypes. Neither the less it is compulsive viewing. I hate the way the girls dress. Even though they say that they have strong morals and wait for marriage, their dress sense is something I can not get my head around. The little girls are dressed in a way that most people would not even consider appropriate for a night out at a club. The sort of dancing you see them doing seems so provocative. I also can not understand their tradition of "grabbing". I find it amazing how they spend so much money on their dresses, I wouldn't mind getting into the traveller dress making business!

I've never watched any episode of this show as it really doesn't appeal to me at all, sorry.

The outfits are very skimpy (for all ages) and the orange tan is just.... well ..... (leave it at that). They seem to be proud and not all of them are bad. Good on the Liverpudlian lady who's getting paid for all the dresses she makes for them, even though they are a bit ott. I wish the girls would put more clothes on, nut that's how they are. I neither like them or dislike them. However, I do find their culture and values interesting and some of them keep their kids off the street and out of trouble with the wrong things. (wish people did that no a days) =)

I thought about watching this but decided against it. I had seen the trailers and everything just looked so over the top.
