Part 2 of The Real Life Gypsy Wedding! Claire and Paddy's wedding reception was held at Blenheim House in Batley. it was a simple family wedding with so much love and happy people.
Lovely to see the bride dance with her father. This was the nicest traveler wedding video I have ever seen, very low key, no drama. Or is that all made up for TV? Or at least dramatically videoed? I loved this beautiful brides dress, it was lovely and tasteful. The family was so nice, the sisters all so pretty.
That's beautiful Janice! Thank you! I think the TV shows have to choose the families that are like to go a bit wild, but I don't exactly know how they are able to predict that. Drink plays a heavy part and I have seen fights break out at previous traveller weddings. Sometimes things get out of hand late at night, and I hear about it the next day, but I generally don't stay on after about 9.30pm. Travellers have this sweet tradition of family dances, after the bride and groom have had their first dance, so am glad you spotted that too. This family were a delight to observe, so definitely one of the sweetest I've had the opportunity to meet in the traveller community! It's also good to be able to redress the balance in public perceptions of a community on rhe whole. Thanks again Janice for your beautiful feedback..xx
This is actually one of the best gypsy wedding's that I've seen. The venue and the reception were beautiful not alot of people but still looked like everyone was having an amazing time.
Yes, it was a sweet family wedding. They just invited close friends and family, as weddings are expensive. it didn't need to be a huge wedding for them all to enjoy themselves, did it? Blenheim House in Batley is also known to be very good value, compared to other wedding venues.
Beautiful bride. I understand the trepidation in their faces on their wedding day. Your leaving your mum and dad, your going to have to share your bed with a boy instead of your sisters, it’s a huge day full of emotions. My daddy (a coalminer) paid for three weddings in the space of 2 years for me and my sisters. This doesn’t seem to happen much anymore. The couples nowadays pay for their own weddings but I love the traditional way of these weddings and they always make me cry, I just love a good wedding. I have been married nearly 40 years and I love my husband even more and he’s still that young man I married every time I look at him. I wish this young couple a good happy marriage.
Oh how touching! That has literally brought tears to my eyes @headron66! I am delighted to hear about your love story and to find someone who understands a culture that is possibly very different from their own too...
Wow, thanks Jenelle! I can't claim.any credit for the composition but it's fantastic that you noticed and appreciated it. Was it near the beginning the particular piece you liked?
Aha! I think that might be because TV has to show the most outrageous aspects or at the very least ones that entertain. Travellers who are born again Christians tend to be more conservative.
They sure are! Amd more than that, Sue, they are all lovely people inside too! There was not a harsh word said all day, but rather a lot of love shown between them instead. xx
Well if I get another traveller wedding booking Trevor, if its possible for you geographicaly and date wise, I could bring you along as my assistant...
@@trevorsmith579 I have had 3 weddings in Ireland but none of those were gypsy weddings! Am based in West Yorkshire , but do travel anywhere in the world, so you never know!
Yes, but no younger than many brides and grooms. I seem to remember that the bride was in her early 20s, which is a good age in which to marry and to start a family, certainly from.a health point of view. The fashion to wait until your 30s to get married is not necessarily better, as many couples then encounter issues trying to conceive a healthy child. Emotional maturity is another matter, but having chosen her life partner, they will have time to grow and learn togdther. In fact it's not only travellers who marry younger than the current average, as both my nephew and his sister married their partners aged 22 and 19 respectively, and I also married and started my own family at 22.
Did you watch the whole video Jesse? The men and many of the other guests sat in the comfortable seats in the bar area. It wasn't a big wedding though..
I notice this a sandwich/finger food buffet style reception dinner. Very low key in nature. This is the type of reception meal you would find a Latter day Saint Wedding. Just doing a comparison
It's a small wedding, as not everyone can afford - or wants - huge wddding, but they still had the right to dress up nicely, didn't they? It's a wedding, after all.

The Bride is Beautiful and her dress is very classic and timeless. A beautiful wedding.
Than youv@skyangelthefan. They were also a very united and supportive family, so the whole day was infused with love all round.

Staggering, thank you for sharing beloved Elaine.
Nice you are the very first to leave a comment Samson! Thank you.
Being from the Caribbean, i love the music being played.

I love how you guys look after each other. Proper community..
Absolutely true! They are a very close family. Travellers have a wonderful community spirit too.
The dress code at this wedding is very conservative compared to the weddings I have seen on the tv and you tube.

Beautiful bride, beautiful family. What more can be said apart from Congratulations to the happy couple ❤
Absolutely! Yes, I couldn't agree with you more, Dianne! Such a lovely family altogether, all 10 siblings!
Thank you, Diane! xx
Beautiful bride love the gown
Yes, I also
thought both were stunning! Thank you Therese! xx
The bride looked beautiful and loved the bridesmaids dresses.
Yes, they really did look great, didn't they! And more importantly, they were such a sweet and loving family!
Love how you guys look after each other xx
True! xx
Isnt the bride such a pretty girl, and the bridesmaids.🎉❤
They sure are! Amd more than that, Sue, they are all lovely people inside too! There was not a harsh word said all day, but rather a lot of love shown between them instead. xx
Amazing beautiful brides dress, 👍🏻❤
Thanks Miss AJ! Apparently she designed it herself and had it made especially! She now wishes to sell it though, as doesn't have room to store it.
Lovely! ❤️
Thanks Sharon!
That one person under dressed like a ‘murdahfudqer’ in jeans and jumper..killing the whole dress code vibe
Male? If so, that's pretty standard attire for traveller men, other than the main wedding party.
I'm not actually sure what a "murdahfudger" is though! Can you explain further?
Love the Hummer limo 🎉❤😊
Yes, they are very popular for weddings, as can fit in all the children/ bridesmaids at once.
@@ReelLifePhotos you and your videos are facts
@CharmaineRanford Interesting! I'm glad you see it that way, as I always just capture exactly what I see happening!
The cake is very beautiful as well.
Thanks Gail! I'm delighted you enjoyed the experience. xx
Congrats! May your marriage be between, God, and the two of you, Mark 10:9...
Thank you Daniel. I'm sure it is.
Beautiful bride beautiful wedding ❤
Thanks Therese! I think you have been browsing your way through my gypsy weddings! xx
Love to go to a wedding like this love it

@@ReelLifePhotos that would be super I'm in Kildare

But.....Where are all the guests?? So much food...

I had to laugh at that. Not everyone has the budget to have a sit down meal, so its more to do with available finances, than personal preferences.
Not one of them has any rhythem dancing
Oh, I didn't observe that, Debra. The main thing though, is that they all love dancing and enjoyed it.
Being honest they weren't dancing to the backing music on this vid so its impossible to tell 😂
@@rebeccawalker8879 Exactly. I've had to use totally different music, so well spotted!
Barely anyone at wedding and they look so fancy. Sucks
