@@dionneop1amnotithebestg08m3the chance of any person passing a genetic defect onto their offspring is 3%, for 1st cousins intermarrying it is 6%, so double but still low... Most will have healthy kids...
Thelma was right. The bride had a lot of trust in her and her abilities to not try the dress on the night before. I think that says a lot about Thelma, and I'm glad the traveler community can trust her that way. She's great at her job
I've seen so many episodes where the bride had her consultation discussing the full design theme, what fabrics & patterns, taking measurements of the bride, then they don't see her again until the night before/day of the wedding, average 4 months, ,& they could have done anything in terms of weight loss or weight gain during stressful times, I don't know if it's insane to not try the dress on the night before or wicked confident!
My mom is from Ireland (non-traveller). My uncle asked if i would ever date someone from the village where they’re from. I said “no there’s too much of a chance they would be my cousin”. They laughed it off but I was completely serious
@@aliciabishop7396 the Bible permits first cousin marriage but not relations closer than that, including relations with a mother in law and half siblings, for example
It's completely legal though! My mum had two first cousins who married. (London, UK) way back in the 1950's now. She said everyone knew they'd be together because they were inseparable from childhood. They were only ever "involved" with each other, were happily married for almost 70 years having never experienced another partner. They had one daughter who was perfectly healthy and normal. I think if you love someone, you love them, and no amount of outside opinion or disgust is going to change that. People always have an opinion on this or that, but really, if it's legal, between willingly consenting healthy-minded adults, why should we worry about what people do? If it's not hurting anyone or breaking the law, our opinion is the issue, not their actions! I say that to include myself as well btw! Not to call out anyone personally. We are all guilty of judging others, but I try to keep my opinions in check by balancing out if their action is at fault, or whether my own view on it is what's wrong. I am fully willing to admit that most of the time, it's my thinking that is too narrow or too quick to make a snap assessment. The kinds of relationships that always jar with me, are when, for example, two ladies are friends, and years later one runs off with the other's son! A son who she babysat and bathed as a child. Now again, it's not illegal, no one is being forced against their will, they're not doing anything wrong...but I find that weird AF! Like, did she fancy him all along? 🙄🙄🙄 But although it must be awful to be the mother in that scenario, and have your friend "betray" you as far as it feels to that mother at least, there's not really anything else wrong with it. I find it odd when two adopted siblings marry too! Legally there's no reason they shouldn't, but IMO, there is a LEGAL element to it. Adoption in itself is legally declaring those non-bio parents are now the real parents in the eyes of the law, therefore they should be seen as legal siblings. How do you get raised with a sibling whether blood related or not, and not have that "I feel sick at the thought of it" boundary? 🤔 I can understand it if it was two older foster kids, who cross paths within the same temporary foster family at some point, because they know they're only there for a short term residence, and it is not their "family home" as such, more like a short vacation stay where you meet other teenagers in similar circumstances to yourself. In that scenario, bonding is going to be much different to two children being legally adopted from infancy. Of course this is IMO. We can only each look at these things through our own eyes, affected by our own experiences and morals, some totally legal things seem very wrong, just in your gut it feels wrong. There are other things that aren't illegal and you think, "well it bloody well should be!!!!" You get fathers and daughters falling in love because they meet for the first time when she's a grown woman, and my gut tells me "it's wrong" my head tells me "these two have deep rooted issues that they're trying to heal the wrong way" and my heart says "I can't imagine how confused they must feel, expecting to feel one way and then felt another from out of nowhere!" I think we, humans collectively, are a fascinating bunch! The way we feel and think, the things we agree on or passionately disagree on. The way we think things should be done and try to insist others conform to our ideals. The way we can empathise with and burst into tears over a short video of someone we've never met, yet turn our backs on people we've loved all our lives because they reveal something about themselves we feel is immoral or whatever. The gut instincts we get, subliminally warning us that something or someone is lying, faking, secretive, untrustworthy, dangerous, cruel, or otherwise just not a great catch.... Yet we'll tell ourselves we're just being silly and paranoid and ignore our gut! Then find out later our gut "told us so" right from the off! AND even knowing that we all do that, we can watch someone on a chat show, who ignored similar red flags just like we did, and yet have no sympathy for them! Instead thinking "they deserved to get treated that way for being an idiot blind fool" 😳😕😲 We really are a contrary breed aren't we!? 😂🤣😅
This is probably the most tamed gypsy dress I've seen so far on the show and it's really pretty. Also I noticed the gypsy style seems to be similar to dance competition costumes.
Irish travelers arent Gypsy’s so thats probably why their customs and language are different Irish travelers are actually Irish but have over time through inbreeding created a new traveler ethnic group of Irish origin. they have zero connection to Romani people who are of Indian origin.
Maybe it’s just me thinking how different and sad to see young girls dressed so repulsive. Let them grow up and let them decide who they want to be. And marrying a cousin I do not understand. Thelma makes beautiful dresses and deserves a lot of credit for what she puts up with.
This was the most beautiful traveller bride I have EVER seen!!! Not just the dress, the girl herself was stunning. SO heartbreaking that she married her cousin…
It seems repulsive to the outside world. However, these girls aren't allowed to gyrate with boys. The large majority are virgins in their wedding day. Simply because they're not allowed to be alone with a boy. Even a girl who has kissed a boy can get a reputation as a loose woman in these communities. They like bright colors & spandex. What's wrong with that? They love rhinestone as it signals wealth to them. We on the outside aren't any better really. Girls now dress very scantly & in spandex from Pretty Little Things store, & other fashion sites. I do have issue with her marrying her cousin. If their parents are closely related too. Then birth defects can be an issue from inbreeding. A lot of gypsy communities now have shy away from marrying close family, due to this issue. Heck, the royal families used to do the same thing. In efforts to keep royal bloodline pure & to keep the wealth within. I say live, let be, & offer education.
3:20 that had the final straw for me. Why the hell is a TODDLER (who doesn’t even look 2!) dressed up like a full blown ADULT?! That’s just so saddening, not to mention she’s in HEELS! 😭
@Long May She Reign. careers, autonomy, their own choices in life. These people do whatever their husbands tell them to and they seem to get married in their teens
@Long May She Reign. they’re literally child brides and they have been brainwashed since before they could speak, that being a housewife subservient to their husbands is their lot in life. Not to mention they quit their schooling at like age 12-13. This society doesn’t even equip them with a fighting chance to do anything other than be a little homemaker and live in a trailer. Don’t be obtuse.
@Long May She Reign. whether or not they truly *want* to be stay at home moms is very debatable, but we can’t know for sure. 50% of moms are single and uneducated? Where are you getting these figures exactly? (I shouldn’t even dignify this with a response if you’re just going to make stuff up.) I’m not “outraged” by single moms. Why would I be? Did you ever stop to think that maybe they’re happier being single than stuck in a shitty or abusive marriage?
Also just wanted to add that I think it's kind of funny how they don't want their daughters to be look that as disrespectful in their Gypsy Community yet they dress them in all these crazy skin tight clothes that show everything
I found it interesting that they smashed up the wedding cake and people were grabbing chunks with their hands and eating it with no plates, forks, or napkins 🤣🤣 I'm all for stuffing my face with cake but not at a wedding lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely love the young woman who's helping the cake maker. I love that she's kind of made her own way and has such a unique perspective on the whole thing. I hope she's done well for herself I've been able to lead an independent and delightful life.
This is the prettiest Gypsy bride I've seen and she also had class. I always wondered if being a Gypsy meant you had to be over-tanned and have questionable makeup taste based off of other Gypsy bride videos I've seen, but her? Astounding. Really beautiful. I can't say I agree with her husband of choice but.. I suppose. Not my marriage😅. Never the less, she is a beauty.
@@jalaaaah what if they trip on the dress? Some toddlers can barely walk without fabric in front of their feet, if they step on it and fall they can get really hurt, especially up or down stairs
@@pinkkkkkkkkk well for one, toddlers shouldn’t be going up & down stairs unsupervised anyways & secondly, i’m not going to tell my child they can’t run around the house in a costume because i’m too scared they’re going to fall.. it’s bound to happen in life. plenty of people fall without anything being in their way, that’s like saying you’re not going to teach your child how to drive because you’re scared they’ll get in an accident, there’s always a possibility something can happen that we don’t want to, we shouldn’t ruin their fun because of it.
Definitely a different culture then what I'm used to. Not saying it's wrong but personally. If I hadn't been told this was a wedding I'd of thought it was a cross between a 6 year olds birthday and Mardi gras.
I always want to know what the brides do with their huge gowns after the wedding. How do they store them? Do they resell them? And what about the other (bridesmaids) dresses? If I'm a bridesmaid several times a year from a young age on, where and how do I keep the dresses?
They try to keep with their own people, just like in England.....it’s an island with all the same people and families that are probably somewhat related back many generations
Aren't their future kids have birth defects did they consult the doctor about that. I'm fond of watching gypsy wed vlog. My question is that it's already a 2022 why do they still travel and not stay at one place and settle?
The brides dress was big and fancy, but also classy compared to other weddings I've seen posted. All the other girls at the wedding were dressed like they were waiting for their beauty pageant to start..lol
@@oliviamartini9700 I've just looked that up. There is a study on independent.ie from 2003 that suggests "up to 40%" marry cousins in the Mayo area, and there is a piece from the Irish Times from 2018 suggesting that 70% of Travellers live in overcrowded conditions. Are you getting the two confused? Despite very specific searches, based on the information provided, nothing is coming up to validate your assertion that 70% of the entire Irish Traveller community marry cousins. As for there being "over 100 identified genetic diseases within their community", this is true but misleading. Whilst certain mutations are specific to Travellers, we see this same scenario with pretty much every ethnicity and, where the data is collected, it's not uncommon to see similar numbers of regional traits, too. There is no indication that the number of genetic disorders within the Traveller community is higher than any other community group, nor that it is caused by "inbreeding". That is laid out in peer analyses of the Lynch, Crushell et al article that I am assuming you are referring to (as it was published in Vol. 55 of the Journal of Medical Genetics). Please stop spreading misinformation about a culture, based on limited research and a sensationalist TV show.
@@georgina-a The 40% refers to FIRST cousins. The remaining 30% are second or third. Keep that going over many generations and you wind up with Hapsburgs. The Irish Times piece is from 2003 and is titled, "Study Urges Irish Travelers to Seek Genetic Counseling for Cousins Who Marry"; I have no idea what article you're speaking of and frankly resent putting the work in for a lazy and combative naysayer. If you do a bit more research, you'll see that their genetic diseases have increased from 70 to over 100 in just 20 years. And no, that is not common in the general population. Why don't you ask an Irish doctor to clarify this for you? It seems I've rattled your cage on a personal level, whereas I don't really give a toss outside of a mild interest in consanguinity. Just be sure to seek genetic counseling when you and your cousin-husband decide to spawn.
@@oliviamartini9700 Newsflash, bigot: not every Irish Traveller lives in Ireland. Shocking, I know... 🙄 I merely asked you to explain your reasoning. You have failed to do so, made sweeping generalisations about a culture that you clearly know nothing about, and are using almost 20 year old tabloid journalism and misquoted academic data as justification for your bigotry. Your projection is somewhat amusing, referring to me as "a lazy and combative naysayer" for daring to call you out for lazily misquoting data and making combative comments about a culture and people you are clearly ignorant about. Did somebody hurt you? I'm a Traveller and idiots like you, spouting utter nonsense and bigotry, fuel unnecessary hatred that has real-life consequences. I've asked you nicely to stop. Continue and I'll view it as a purposeful, hateful statement against a minority group and take the appropriate action.
The dresses are stunning ..but to me it looks more like a carnival ..and I find it disturbing how those little children are dressed ..but to each his own 🙄 my italian family would have a heart attack if they saw anything like this 😂
Some of these dresses are ugly to me however this bride looks gorgeous! Her hair and that bow on her chest-shoulder are breathtaking! Love the white only gown and the princess poof is like a fairytale! Love ❤ it!
The saddest thing is that all the kids here, As soon as they turn 18 they are shipped off to be married. It’s is the only day that’s viewed as their day or as a crowning achievement. My heart breaks.
Why would your heart break? Nothing beats having a good family, stay at home mom and children. I know it goes against the modern liberal woman. But this is the goal for many cultures. It is a time to celebrate. I assure you they’re happy, and content, and wouldn’t change it for the world.
@@gypsymommabear3383 my heart breaks because of not having a choice: There’s nothing wrong with being a home maker but when you look at this video you see that tradition and age severely limits their options. I know certainly at that age that such a decision such as marriage isn’t a good one with such limited world view. There’s another video where the mother outright cried so much because she knew what life her daughter is signing up for, that family was the only one determined to want more for their daughters and were shunned for it. So my heart breaks because of this..
Observing the amount of incest in gypsy communities, and sheer volume of inappropriately sexualised toddlers, one can only but sadly see that child abuse must be rife in these families. So sad.
@@dakotabilliu The risk of birth defects only comes after many generations of close inbreeding. I guess if you want to redefine words it's your business, but you should get used to being challenged on it.
OK. I agree with you all saying the bride is beautiful. That she is. But in my opinion the bridesmaids dresses and the guests dresses look like they are ready to walk the streets. And marrying your 1st cousin. Ummmm. That is a big NOOOOOO.
Shame on them. They can barely drive and can’t vote or drink legally. They are way too young to get married. Go to college, have a life and a career and then settle down and get married. These girls are still children. Absurd. Unacceptable. Ridiculous.
The clothes kinda remind me of winx club.. so I’m fascinated but also concerned because they’re babies marrying babies having babies with their own babies??
It's *NOT* racist Thelma and you *KNOW* that. It's due to *THEIR* reputation of being thieves, brawlers, killers, etc. I noticed *YOU* don't live near them.
You have such nice manners and class. What a stunning bride you are. Best wishes to your family. The wedding dress seamstresses are experts in every way. My grandparents in the USA are from Ireland.
It seems that a lot of the traveller girls get married around 16. So, since this bride is 18 is she marrying her cousin because no other guys "grabbed" her and she's past a certain age?
Okay, I have a question, genuine curiosity NOT JUDGING. How do the Traveller kids with braces(like the girl in video) keep up with orthodontist appointments? In a few videos, the Traveller families say they move every few weeks, or months. Braces stay on for years. Do they have to find a new ortho every time they move?
I'm still so curious who pays for these weddings? Please somebody inform me. Because it doesn't seem like they live the most wealthy Lifestyles after these weddings so I'm just curious how they get all these big fancy things at the age of 16
Being a gypsy man is better than being a gypsy woman unfortunately. Its just sad they are basically told from a young age to just marry and pop out kids. No choice whatsoever like career or education. 'Once her feet touches the floor she can marry' ive heard another gypsy woman say this on one of this shows.
I really hated the way the camera was sexualising the kids at the wedding and pre-party - focusing on their butts and stuff. Like kids like to dress up and act silly for cameras, you don’t have to film them like that ffs
What a child can face when there parents are related is horrible. Most of them are born messed up blind deaf slow it's shameful behavior to do that to kid's STOP.
Not true, there is only a 6% chance of the offspring of first cousins having genetic defects (3% for a non-related couple)... The risks are higher but still low.
She is absolutely beautiful, but marrying your 1st cousin 🤨 I remember the family who were married cousins and had kids and all there kids had something major wrong with them it was sad to even watch because one boy barks to communicate but hey good luck to them hope they adopt 😏
Its so disturbing to See those small children wearing such sexualizing dresses and those tiny heels for literally babies...
Exactly!
I can’t believe more people have not commented about it. That’s so disturbing. Their children should not be in sexualized clothes meant for grown women
I agree, it is such a shame. Yet they are told to be a virgin on there wedding night but turned into sexual beings as babies?
I thought that no one would mention this
What’s wrong with a little girl wanting to dress up? The only thing disturbing is the people that find it sexual.
The way they sexualize babies/ young children with these outfits is really disturbing to me.
like this is any diferent than those pegeant baby's in the US...

@@hiimdanaeandicantdomakeup2944 kids shouldn't be wearing any of that, the corsets, heels, dress skirts that cover their feet, it's so wrong
@@pinkkkkkkkkk i agree but idk about the “dress skirts that cover their feet part”.. kids should be able to wear princess & pageant-like dresses.
@@jalaaaah what if they trip on the dress? Some toddlers can barely walk without fabric in front of their feet, if they step on it and fall they can get really hurt, especially up or down stairs
@@pinkkkkkkkkk well for one, toddlers shouldn’t be going up & down stairs unsupervised anyways & secondly, i’m not going to tell my child they can’t run around the house in a costume because i’m too scared they’re going to fall.. it’s bound to happen in life. plenty of people fall without anything being in their way, that’s like saying you’re not going to teach your child how to drive because you’re scared they’ll get in an accident, there’s always a possibility something can happen that we don’t want to, we shouldn’t ruin their fun because of it.
“I’m Gona write a letter to the pope” 😂

Definitely a different culture then what I'm used to. Not saying it's wrong but personally. If I hadn't been told this was a wedding I'd of thought it was a cross between a 6 year olds birthday and Mardi gras.
She is marrying her first cousin - it is wrong lol
I always want to know what the brides do with their huge gowns after the wedding. How do they store them? Do they resell them? And what about the other (bridesmaids) dresses? If I'm a bridesmaid several times a year from a young age on, where and how do I keep the dresses?
I think they keep the main outer dress butbthe underskirts go back to Thelma , so its not as much to store
Yikes. As a former PICU nurse all I see in their future is birth defects.
Exactly 💯
She is the prettiest & most polite & appreciative bride I’ve seen on any of your shows. Perfect 💗🌷💗
I never understood why they have to marry their cousin? Like they hid the cousin they're gonna marry since a young age and push them to date/marry.
Hopefully, their kids don’t have any birth defects.
They try to keep with their own people, just like in England.....it’s an island with all the same people and families that are probably somewhat related back many generations
It keeps their wealth in their family.
They can’t marry outside there culture
Aren't their future kids have birth defects did they consult the doctor about that.
I'm fond of watching gypsy wed vlog. My question is that it's already a 2022 why do they still travel and not stay at one place and settle?
The brides dress was big and fancy, but also classy compared to other weddings I've seen posted. All the other girls at the wedding were dressed like they were waiting for their beauty pageant to start..lol
Travelers are better than non travlers
@@brigetconnors8250 AKA Gorgers
For a traveler gown, it's stunning.
It's hideous
Was stunning.
No wonder the cousin has his face blurred. Wrong in so many levels!
What the hell are the girls on the street wearing?
The last thing I want to hear my cake maker say is "I just burst me blister" 🤮
As of 2018, 70% of Irish traveler marriages were between cousins, and there are over 100 identified genetic diseases in their community.
Can you tell me your source for that information please?
@@georgina-a The Independent, the Irish Times, the Journal of Medical Genetics vol 55 - all of which are available to you to read online.
@@oliviamartini9700 I've just looked that up. There is a study on independent.ie from 2003 that suggests "up to 40%" marry cousins in the Mayo area, and there is a piece from the Irish Times from 2018 suggesting that 70% of Travellers live in overcrowded conditions. Are you getting the two confused? Despite very specific searches, based on the information provided, nothing is coming up to validate your assertion that 70% of the entire Irish Traveller community marry cousins.
As for there being "over 100 identified genetic diseases within their community", this is true but misleading. Whilst certain mutations are specific to Travellers, we see this same scenario with pretty much every ethnicity and, where the data is collected, it's not uncommon to see similar numbers of regional traits, too. There is no indication that the number of genetic disorders within the Traveller community is higher than any other community group, nor that it is caused by "inbreeding". That is laid out in peer analyses of the Lynch, Crushell et al article that I am assuming you are referring to (as it was published in Vol. 55 of the Journal of Medical Genetics).
Please stop spreading misinformation about a culture, based on limited research and a sensationalist TV show.
@@georgina-a The 40% refers to FIRST cousins. The remaining 30% are second or third. Keep that going over many generations and you wind up with Hapsburgs.
The Irish Times piece is from 2003 and is titled, "Study Urges Irish Travelers to Seek Genetic Counseling for Cousins Who Marry"; I have no idea what article you're speaking of and frankly resent putting the work in for a lazy and combative naysayer.
If you do a bit more research, you'll see that their genetic diseases have increased from 70 to over 100 in just 20 years. And no, that is not common in the general population. Why don't you ask an Irish doctor to clarify this for you?
It seems I've rattled your cage on a personal level, whereas I don't really give a toss outside of a mild interest in consanguinity. Just be sure to seek genetic counseling when you and your cousin-husband decide to spawn.
@@oliviamartini9700 Newsflash, bigot: not every Irish Traveller lives in Ireland. Shocking, I know... 🙄
I merely asked you to explain your reasoning. You have failed to do so, made sweeping generalisations about a culture that you clearly know nothing about, and are using almost 20 year old tabloid journalism and misquoted academic data as justification for your bigotry. Your projection is somewhat amusing, referring to me as "a lazy and combative naysayer" for daring to call you out for lazily misquoting data and making combative comments about a culture and people you are clearly ignorant about. Did somebody hurt you?
I'm a Traveller and idiots like you, spouting utter nonsense and bigotry, fuel unnecessary hatred that has real-life consequences. I've asked you nicely to stop. Continue and I'll view it as a purposeful, hateful statement against a minority group and take the appropriate action.
The dresses are stunning ..but to me it looks more like a carnival ..and I find it disturbing how those little children are dressed ..but to each his own 🙄 my italian family would have a heart attack if they saw anything like this 😂
Her wedding dress was absolutely beautiful!! I've seen some pretty scandalous ones on this show and this was pretty tame and very lovely!
Some of these dresses are ugly to me however this bride looks gorgeous! Her hair and that bow on her chest-shoulder are breathtaking! Love the white only gown and the princess poof is like a fairytale! Love ❤ it!
I'm sure non gypsy dresses look ugly to them too lol
I love how they throw slight shade “her first cousin”
…the way they attacked the cake!!! Omg with their hands, like a bunch of raccoons 😆
Not as cute as racoons
This is got to be one of the best wedding dresses I've seen a traveller girl wear ❤️
Absolutely disgusting, the camera work on the kids bottoms and the outfits for them. Who allowed this?
So sad that the only dream these girls have is their wedding day...Reality must be a terrible thing when it's all over!
The saddest thing is that all the kids here, As soon as they turn 18 they are shipped off to be married. It’s is the only day that’s viewed as their day or as a crowning achievement. My heart breaks.
16 actually.
Why would your heart break? Nothing beats having a good family, stay at home mom and children. I know it goes against the modern liberal woman. But this is the goal for many cultures. It is a time to celebrate. I assure you they’re happy, and content, and wouldn’t change it for the world.
@@nyquiehall9945 😟
@@gypsymommabear3383 my heart breaks because of not having a choice: There’s nothing wrong with being a home maker but when you look at this video you see that tradition and age severely limits their options. I know certainly at that age that such a decision such as marriage isn’t a good one with such limited world view.
There’s another video where the mother outright cried so much because she knew what life her daughter is signing up for, that family was the only one determined to want more for their daughters and were shunned for it. So my heart breaks because of this..
You said 18 naw most of them get married the day after they turn 16 years old..
Observing the amount of incest in gypsy communities, and sheer volume of inappropriately sexualised toddlers, one can only but sadly see that child abuse must be rife in these families. So sad.
Cousin marriage is not incest.
@@ttintagel its family and can cause birth defects.....def incest
@@dakotabilliu The risk of birth defects only comes after many generations of close inbreeding. I guess if you want to redefine words it's your business, but you should get used to being challenged on it.
@@ttintagelyou must be inbred if you actually think that's factual
OK. I agree with you all saying the bride is beautiful. That she is. But in my opinion the bridesmaids dresses and the guests dresses look like they are ready to walk the streets. And marrying your 1st cousin. Ummmm. That is a big NOOOOOO.
how disgusting of you that you are sexualizing girls because of the way they dress
@@angiequintero2919 Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think the classless way they are dressed makes them look cheap.
@@CathyDoll-qb7og who are you to say that? Is another culture and you just need to RESPECT
I was reading the comments before watching the video and I was like, oh it can‘t be that bad… wtf are those kids wearing??!
The person in that white and silver dress! That dress was gorgeous.
Those poor babies having to walk in those dresses. 😂😂😂
What happens to all of the dresses after the wedding is over?
Why they got that toddler dressed like a Vegas showgirl?
The babies look like street girls in training. OMG🤦♀️
I totally agree!!
How sick for you to say that 😠
@@angiequintero2919 it’s the clothes and heels
No. There is a main street in my city where street girls stand. These women dress more modest.
Nobody going to say anything about her marrying her first cousin?
Can’t believe they threw Thelma and her friend out of the church. 😮
I got kicked out of a Mormon church once when trying to attend a friends wedding. It’s a great way to turn people off from your beliefs.
@@dickhitswater4836 what was their excuse?!
@@dickhitswater4836 wow.
WTF DID THEY DO TO THE CAKE??
I know right 👀
At least they didn't throw it at each other like most other gypsy's do. Very proper.
The closed captioning at 10:00 😂
"I'm gonna write a letter to the Pokemon"
10:50 "she's so nice to spiders"
The outfits on the lil kids. 🤮 this is disgusting
Shame on them. They can barely drive and can’t vote or drink legally. They are way too young to get married. Go to college, have a life and a career and then settle down and get married. These girls are still children. Absurd. Unacceptable. Ridiculous.
you're right
First cousin….
We got God on our side
Me: honey I think God left a long time ago when people started marrying their cousin
Unfortunately, the old testament is full of first cousins marrying. :D
I mean with all those travelers all over the town and country yall couldn't find someone who isn't related to you?? Tf??
Chantelle is definitely cheating on jim
The clothes kinda remind me of winx club.. so I’m fascinated but also concerned because they’re babies marrying babies having babies with their own babies??
They kicked the dress maker and the cake artist out of the church? How foul!
I actually liked the bride's gown but the bare midriff stripper style outfits on kids? OMG!!!!!
these little girls are gonna grow up way too fast smh
Where do these people get all their money????
It's *NOT* racist Thelma and you *KNOW* that. It's due to *THEIR* reputation of being thieves, brawlers, killers, etc. I noticed *YOU* don't live near them.
You have such nice manners and class. What a stunning bride you are. Best wishes to your family. The wedding dress seamstresses are experts in every way. My grandparents in the USA are from Ireland.
It seems that a lot of the traveller girls get married around 16. So, since this bride is 18 is she marrying her cousin because no other guys "grabbed" her and she's past a certain age?
Okay, I have a question, genuine curiosity NOT JUDGING. How do the Traveller kids with braces(like the girl in video) keep up with orthodontist appointments? In a few videos, the Traveller families say they move every few weeks, or months. Braces stay on for years. Do they have to find a new ortho every time they move?
Waaaaait I missed something! I don't understand why the dress makers where kicked out the church?!
I’m sorry but this is giving trashy
Marrying your cousin ? Are you for real . Please don’t have kids . What’s wrong with people ?
I hope the cake makers didn’t see them hack at their cake like that and serve it like hand held stew! I’m appalled!
Why would they care? It sold to them and they can use it how they want
@@AnniCarlsson exactly
Amazing how no one calls them out for dressing little girls, 4 year olds like that. Shame.
Just love Nora she's so funny love the Brides Dress she looks beautiful💜🌹💜
I’m wondering how they afford all that.
“ I’m going to report him, I’m writing a letter to the Pope” I actually lost 3 brain cells listening to that woman.
I'm still so curious who pays for these weddings? Please somebody inform me. Because it doesn't seem like they live the most wealthy Lifestyles after these weddings so I'm just curious how they get all these big fancy things at the age of 16
They probably save up what they don’t spend on a wealthy lifestyle.
Out of a the gypsy weddings I've watched she was definitely the most stunning and natural beauty there is.
Makeup isn’t natural beauty.
Who knows what she looks like under all that 🤷
@@cfaz6763 getting jealous lol
@@cfaz6763 it’s fake tan and crap makeup from the 2000s not much of a difference made
Being a gypsy man is better than being a gypsy woman unfortunately. Its just sad they are basically told from a young age to just marry and pop out kids. No choice whatsoever like career or education. 'Once her feet touches the floor she can marry' ive heard another gypsy woman say this on one of this shows.
They sure did slide by that “1st cousin” line.
So nobody going to say why home girl got kicked out the church. I really want to know
I just said how sinful it is to do such a thing and maybe it is racially motivated.
The wedding cake helper is so funny
This is vile
What on EARTH do the father’s of the brides do for work that they can ALL afford a huuuge dowry, a prewedding party and a huge wedding?
I look forward to watching these episodes EVERY time 🙌🏼😍
Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really why ??!!
Why would they hive Thelma and then not allow her at the ceremony?
The priest threw her out, not the family. Otherwise she wouldn't have been at the reception.
That wedding cake was a waste of time after the way they served it... Should of rather brought along a big bowl of trifle instead
Those little girls outfits 😔 and marrying your 1st cousin smdh I've heard of 5th or 6th cousins but never 1st smh 😒 I would never
It is revolting, isn't it? The plain idea of marrying my cousin... that is... just wrong. So wrong.
The glitter, shine and colours always baffle me. Everything is just so out there. Crazy.
this video: SWEET HOME ALABAMA!!!
What do they do to be able to afford these elaborate shindigs?
Steal and don't pay tax .
I really hated the way the camera was sexualising the kids at the wedding and pre-party - focusing on their butts and stuff. Like kids like to dress up and act silly for cameras, you don’t have to film them like that ffs
Would it be tasteless to start singing sweet home alabama?
Do they not know or not care about the genetic damage they will do to their future children ?
Why do young girls dress like this.
What a child can face when there parents are related is horrible. Most of them are born messed up blind deaf slow it's shameful behavior to do that to kid's STOP.
Not true, there is only a 6% chance of the offspring of first cousins having genetic defects (3% for a non-related couple)... The risks are higher but still low.
Jesus loves you and repent before it's too late not forcing upon anyone jlu
Have they not heard of inbreeding? Ew. Beautiful dress and bride though.
She is absolutely beautiful, but marrying your 1st cousin 🤨 I remember the family who were married cousins and had kids and all there kids had something major wrong with them it was sad to even watch because one boy barks to communicate but hey good luck to them hope they adopt 😏
There’s an amazing doc on TH-cam about the Pakistani community in England and the illness that have occurred due to inbreeding - well worth a watch!
