My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding

[Mid-Island- Marc]

I watched it for the humour value, though I knew I'd get irritated at some point.

I've had no experience with Romany gypsies or anything other than Irish 'travellers'. But every bit of experience I've had with those travellers has been negative.
They may have the highest morals within their own barricaded lives but when it comes to the rest of society they tend to not give a toss.

I've had experience of their antics whilst working in a pub a few years back.
They'd give you a huge order then when faced with the bill, they'd claim that they'd only recieved half of their order.
They cheat and lie and together with their unwillingness to pay insurance or tax on the cars they drive (or the income they recieve), it's no surprise that they've got the money to fund such extravagant tackiness.

Its crazy, they don't even stay in school and get their exams! I doubt if any of them think of going to university.

Weird Maybe she was trying to show off her Irish roots?! I felt really bad for Joan when straight after the wedding she started talking about how they were going to have to work hard at their marriage and that it would be difficult. She was being realistic, but it's a shame she felt that way immediately after her vows, there didn't seem to be any romance between them - and he even yawned during the ceremony!

yes lol

A lot of hopes? Like any other marriage? dream on.

[I heard from a bird....]

The irish travellers who went to my school certainly didnt care about disgracing themselves. There were quite a few non-traveller girls who got pregnant by the traveller boys and then the boys buggered off, and the girls definitely got around. They also didnt care about stealing from the co-op i worked at.

So i dont buy the whole 'traveller girls are very moral' thing.

The women are good looking until they get married, and then they let themselves go and become pig ugly, both in manner and looks.

lol i was just thinking that dress was relatively restrained for a traveller bride, then they added the big white rug to the back of it.

There was one in Sheffield last year, whilst they were at the pub somebody set the caravans on fire but they were too busy scrapping to notice!
