Right?!?! … like so many more you’d never even thought of

It shows that the groom has zero respect to the bride and everyone who came

In the US it is illegal for a pastor to marry a couple if either of them are impaired. You can’t legally consent if your mind is muddled with drugs or alcohol.

In Aust it is illegal to legally marry couples if anyone in the bridal party is intoxicated

There is precious little to look forward to or celebrate on this planet ,the travelers and gypsy communities worldwide give some beauty and interest that the mundane earthlings should appreciate

He's also an adult and she's a child. If they're okay with that then I can't see drunkenness as an impediment.

She's 17, and he's 24. To me that's just screwed up! But, different strokes for different folks.

And her, wearing her pre 'popped cherry' motif.

@@bdizzle5359 tbh it’s quite natural in the traveller community but I agree she was still to young I know people who was engaged around 14 but not married until 18 to 20 which tbh I think is the right age yk

@@bdizzle5359 Average age difference for many. However yes 17 is far too young.

Just a different culture - no better , no worse than an y other

@@Georgiaredfern its worse, its sexist and brainwashed girls to think all they can achieve in life is to be a bride. Lets stop acting like all cultures are equal theres nothing good about boozy culture.

AMEN!

oh

His family must have $$$$$

I think it was probably that loud extra AF best man that was pressuring him to stay at the bar...

This town looks hopping in December?! 🎉

@@sharity3289I agree

Not my choice, I see a lousy future ahead for her.

If we valued sexual equality , it would be illegal.

@@TheBeezusjones We have no room to judge what other cultures/lifestyles see as fit. As strong as our own views are- we must understand that the world is vast; vast with differing stand points, stand points that sometimes don't match our own.

If she was 18 you wouldnt be commenting this.....I hate how people behave like age is a magic number and on being 18 everything is perfectly fine. It depends much more on emotional maturity rather than number.

@@prettyinpink9698 yea because especially if they are travelers they do not go to school. So the most educated / developed they are is a mentality of a elementary/ middle schooler. They already being groomed to cook, clean, the do not need even just simple education. I seen some of them said they couldn’t even read. She getting married to a drunk he at the pub and not his wedding. And she just turned 17 so then been dating since she was younger.

I met my husband when I was 17 (day after I graduated from high school), and he was 25. We didn't get married until I was 24. We've been happily married for over 26 years. Would we want our daughter (18)to date someone with such an age gap. That would be a NO! I absolutely love and adore my husband, but I told our children to get an education, get a nice job, travel the world, and then think about settling only if you want to.

Yep in the morning too! Should have left him there

It's traditional for them to keep the groom in the pub as long as they can

They actually do the opposite. They are a Motivation to work through school in order to achieve something... I dreamed of my Prom-Dress at the age of 7.

Well i graduated in 2020 so bo prom. Guess ill get a guy out of the pub and marry him instead

Man, the dresses chosen here are horrid!

Yes I think so many of these girls look forward to their wedding because it is literally the only day they feel the tiniest bit important.

Preach don’t forget sweet 16

😂❤

If my bride/groom were that late, I'd assume the wedding is off!

Well they never go out unless with a group that are guarded by men.

They understand that it doesn’t matter what a woman wears, that’s not an invitation to do what you wish to someone else. Which is how it should be no matter where you live or what you wear

@@lovinglifewitheli I agree 👍💯

2:06 what is that white circle thing in the woman's hand?

And what makes these dresses so big

Im not a gypsy but i LOVE the style of these dresses. When i get married i want Thelma Dean to make me beautiful✨

Oh trust me Thelma takes no shit of anyone makes lot money of travellers

@@kerrypeters4724 should she do all that work to free? Making ‘off travellers’ you wouldn’t say that if it was just a bridal gown. Oh look she makes all that money ‘off brides’?!

@Stream Chats with Friends The poem was cute, it's just I've never seen anything like it...ever! So it completely caught me off guard. lol

I think I read she did prison time no?

If you watch the series, that happens nearly every wedding. The only one I didn't see drink was the guy who married the non traveler girl. No one complains and just roll with it because the men have all the authority

@@mlledj22 I dunno I guess I feel bad when this groom didn’t even want to leave and she was just standing there in the cold. Some show up sooner. Maybe the editing made it seem worse.

Love the stripper makeup🙄

I've seen plenty of non traders weddings with a too drunk bride/groom, definitely not unique to thier culture for people to pregame too heavy!

I have never in my life seen someone wear a dress that big to prom but okay

This is their prom. So sad.

@@whatever7588 that’s not the point

Well said 😂

It’s considered normal in this culture. Her daddy would have done it.

Ya. Lol. That was crazy.

Made me physically ill to see that baby dressed like a hooker…🤢

Because for them a Girl beeing married is everything. Even if the husband id nothing 😳 sad

I mean did you see the dad. It was honestly disgusting 🤢

@@tmfromdenmark9158 no.. its probably because the dowry has already been paid

@@pinkypie9410 you need to research more before commenting

He’s probably the same type of man

What gets me is the hypocrisy of it 😅😅 the girls literally aren't allowed to do anything, not allowed to drink, not allowed to have jobs or go anywhere without men. But no problem with them wearing next to nothing pretty much all the time and at any age 😅😅😅

Yes, of course people outside the community regard them in a negative light, the only other place that those outfits are usually seen are ice skaters, ballroom dancers, and strippers!

@@jd-no7rw Hey! I was an ice skater. I never wore anything in such poor taste. Judges would take off points even if we wanted to.

@@MrsEJV Usually ice skaters are wearing nude leotards and illusion panels and not showing bare skin, either. My point was those professions, meaning people with jobs and competing, and you could add cheerleaders and gymnasts as well, wear more revealing outfits than most (I said most) people walking down the street.

The grown wearing it? Cool. But the young girls and little girls? Creepy and gross.

That’s actually really nice to hear! Glad they are happy together!

what’s her facebook? x

Yeah I did as well.

oh well if it on facebook must be true lol

Not saying she isn't happy, but people generally only post things on Facebook that make them look good. I have a few friends on there who have relationships and lives that are in shambles, but you wouldn't know it from their happy, aesthetic Facebook and Instagram posts.

Elaine. its disgusting behaviour, showed his character from the get go. Next level disrespect and selfishness. And The way those 2 and 3 year babies were dressed was just outrageously vulgar. Who;'d think to do that? Considering the girls are meant to stay virgins, they dress them like ....well you know, for their whole lives.

youre not old fashioned, you have manners.

They aren’t… you are! To them it’s fun - nothing sexual about it.

@@mrsl8596 Sounds like your part of the problem 🙄

Yeah, she should work for free! What a horrible person that she gets paid for her time, work and materials and that she needs to pay her employees! What a loser! 🙄

She's a dressmaker as you said.she makes dresses what's the issue you see ?

She's actually a huge advocate for the travelling community and brings attention to the discrimination they face. But the reality is that a lot of these girls leave school at 13 and end up victims of domestic violence. Some of her staff are former traveler women who opted for a career instead of marriage but didn't have the schooling to do much but tailoring and dress making.

@@mascara1777 it's not that she shouldn't be allowed to make a living, just seems odd to see her critize the lifestyle in every episode while making a living of the dresses for the weddings.

@@tintinftww and thats good. just in the show it comes across odd that she is against the early marriages while making a living sewing the dresses.

I'm marrying this year at 29 and I feel like a child bride

I got engaged at 19, married at 21. I'm 29 now, no regrets. 🤷

about two of the couples in the entire run of this show are still together lmao the rest are divorced

I got married at 17. I was engaged right away & married @ 6 months. I'm almost 50. I have no regrets. Except if I had the chance I would've married him @ 15 so I'd have 2 more years with him. He's wonderful & my best friend. He's also the best father.

​@@JP2GiannaTthat's awesome, I love the thought of getting married young, like 21 is a great age

Actually their divorce rate is lower than let’s say the one in American because it’s so frowned upon, but also because they find themselves genuinely happy in the relationship.

A lot of the women find themselves stuck in these relationships due to abuse. Divorce for these women is equivalent to complete social ostracisation. They are often cut off from their family and the gypsy community if they decide to divorce, so the rates may be low but it doesn't mean everyone is happy.

@@liviakirby That’s very true. According to Google, only a small percentage of Gypsy women get divorces, and there was also mention of suicide rates. It’s very sad.

@@shanettebatista1729 more likely it’s because they’re trapped. Some of these women can barely read competently because they were removed from school as young as 12 and before that age, they might have changed schools every few months due to the parents traveling for work. They don’t have many options for how to support themselves if they leave their husbands. All they’ve been trained to do is cook, clean, and care for children. I suspect they might not even know that they could use those skills to get a job doing something like being a housekeeper.

Divorce is very low I hear. It's frowned upon. So most "last" but probably not too happily.

some dresses by Sandra in the US do

They do. At the very end you can see she took off the big skirt and put on a mermaid skirt for the dance.

These young girls have one goal...find a husband. Then HE takes her life and she cleans and has kids. The husband makes the rules and that's the bottom line. Sounds like a real fun life...NOT!

Believe me, they aren't the only culture who does that!

Exactly. "Careless and free"? Really? Not being allowed to go anywhere without your husband? Not being allowed to work? Not being able to live independently and make an adult, informed CHOICE about who YOU want to marry , and having to marry the first asshole who "grabs" you? Sick. Regardless of what culture you're from , that would be sick.

Rousey I don't know if you are male of female but, if the latter, would you also like the "careless" way your husband gave you a kiss with a fist because he could!

no seriously though 🤣

You weren’t kidding

And back-off the spray tan.

I was like whattt the mess, so she was just 16 years old how does the man and family even feel comfortable with that 🤦🏽‍♀️

@@ashleymw3099 to be fair, in Rathkeal, they are all family in that town. These two probably grew up together and have known each other their whole lives. I think the age gap is a bit much at that stage of their lives though... 19 and 26 would have been better... I've heard they got divorced...

There was an episode where the mother threw her 10yr old daughter a party to find a husband.

What about the 'cat women feminism' creates? Women between 40-60 who live alone and are childless? They have a reasonable career but have sacraficed family life in the persuit of it and aren't necessarily any happier as a result. There's a balance. People shouldn't be getting married younger than 25 imo, so the groom in this video is too young as well but where people delay marriage etc too long, especially as they get older and end up alone, they may well regret it.

@@lah1667 you say that like it’s a bad thing. 🙂🐈‍⬛🐈 some of us prefer life that way. It’s having the choice for the life you want.

Yup and they have chaperones. They never go anywhere alone.

@@armygirl85fuckhitler74 and they don’t drink

Me too

Not sure why ... Me: surveying my own life lol

Thats just British people

@@caracara300 yep. Lots of young British girls going out clubbing in the middle of a cold night with the tiniest dresses on and no coats.

There’s no snow so it must be above freezing…. Which is not so bad, I’m from northern U.S. and we are similar

It's all about choices. What works for one doesn't work for another. Her following your daughter's footsteps would be just a foreign to her as it would be for your daughter to wake up tomorrow a gypsy getting married to this fellow.

Then the family pulls together and helps her and any children out. Just because this is not right for you, doesn’t mean it isn’t right for others. And some do actually continue education and go to university.

I'm doing the same thing and I'm also nineteen. I'm doing a law degree though

Your daughter will forever be grateful to you for raising her to value herself for her skills and talents, not merely her appearance. And, as a woman, I thank you for that too. 😓

Sadly, is the only life that they know. Being their husband's servants and popping out babies to preserve the culture

They did get divorced. I can't say I'm surprised.

@@lah1667 Dose she has any children with him?

@@naseanamoodie384 I'm not sure but I would be surprised if they did...

Happily married with two young boys

There’s a big difference between a 16 year old (who typically drops out of school) and a 19 year old. These are still children.

@@Destiny-jf5pb I absolutely agree with you. My mother and father lived in a very different time. My Dad left school in grade 8 and my Mother in grade 10. she got a job in a bank and he trained as mechanic. They bought a house at age 21 and had it paid off by the time they were 40. These are young teens especially the girls because they are so sheltered. They do have s lot of support from their families and their community. Even though it is hard for us to understand it is their culture. Another similar culture is the Mennonites with respect to young marriages and limited education. I met a Mennonite girl once who was 15 and had just given birth to her first baby. Her husband was at least 30. I just try not to judge anyone because I know how painful it is to be judged. I try to show everyone compassion and hope for the best for us all.

It used to be more common to get married young because people grew up quicker. Lots of people finished school at a young age and university wasn’t an option for many because it was too expensive. There wasn’t much else to do but get married at that point. But now there are many opportunities and kids aren’t forced to grow up so quickly and are allowed to have a childhood. It doesn’t make sense to force someone to marry young now when they have the opportunity to do so much more before settling down.

@@dianethompson2458 omg, I feel so bad for that girl. I try to respect other cultures but it’s just plain wrong for a 30 year old to be with a 15 year old. She’s a child and he’s double her age. She’s got the same age gap with her child as she does with her husband. It’s disgusting that in some states of America that marriage is considered legal. That girl is not old enough to have made that decision herself.

​@@rachelcookie321 Also because life expectancy was much lower in times gone by. And it seems that life expectancy is much lower in the travelling communities.

I think it's about 2011/2012...this whole series was axed about 2014...
