Thank you TJ. Yes, it's actually the very first I've come across where nothing bad happened at all. The men were all peaceful too!

They were all a very close family, so much love shown all round! xx

Glad you "approve', Harry! Personally I love to look at the way out, flamboyant traveller weddings just as much, but obviously we each choose our own preferred style when we ourselves get married. Thanks Harry!

@@ReelLifePhotos I like both. In my opinion it’s an absolute spectrum of individuals just as in any culture. While I love the elegance of this wedding, I might love the absolute wildness of another wishing I had the guts to pull it off

I always wondered what they did with those lg gowns after the weddings--- especially if they live in a small trailer.

I wish I knew! I'm guessing that most are sold on, to release much needed funds, and , as you say, storage space!

Oh that's so funny! The sisters sure were peaceful and patient while getting ready, but it wouldn't be as much fun if everyone was calm throughout! That's the joy of traveller weddings!

Who is “We”? Yikes.. Imagine stereotyping a group of individuals that already received tremendous prejudice and backlash for their culture, and some how using it to compliment a family that is apart of that same culture while tearing the others in again, that same culture, down… then go on to show your racist prejudiced mindset when speaking about the men of this family…. This is in no way a compliment. In fact, it’s a backhanded compliment where you make a small minded attempt at saying something minutely nice then beat the person down with your disgusting prejudices… you do realize that you don’t have to put others down in order to lift up another, yeah? You do understand that all families, not exclusive to gypsy families, have high anxiety, intense stress, as well as are in a rush to get to the wedding? Your ignorance is great. It’s a shame too. This family had a lovely experience that was able to be documented for generations to come. And you had to bring in your negativity. Such a waste of what could have been best wishes to the lovely couple. Travelers are an amazing people with a lively and exciting culture. They bring much to the table in regards to style, fashion, experiences, and most of all, integrity and family values. This was such a pleasure to watch and I truly appreciate it being shared with the world. I hope your children childrens children appreciate being able to see their great grands lovely day. Such a beautiful wedding and family.

@@mynineandi Get over yourself, my grandparents were Spanish Gypsies..and I still have close relatives over there.

@@praeliora that’s equivalent to “I’m not racist, I have black friends” or similarly, “I have black friends/family, so I can use racial slurs” Again, your comment was racist and I’m not sure how having relatives somehow exempts you from being a racist/having prejudices? That is again intense ignorance. So I suppose the question is, how does having relatives that are travelers make you unable to be a racist/have prejudices?

@mynineandi I don't think that MadeWithLove meant anything bad. It's probably my fault that she couldn't see the well-dressed men who were part of the "wedding party", as I focused more on the women. I was also taking photos so certain parts of the wedding were better documented in stills, with less omissions. You can see the photos on facebook.com/destination.wedding.photographer.uk if interested. It's great you appreciated the public availability of this videoI made that documents as much as I could of their day, and I hope to publish part two that shows their reception, once I've had time to edit it. Thanks for taking the time to express your support for travellers in general too. xx

Yes, it shows what a close family they all are. Did you realise that they are 6 sisters and 4 brothers?

Невеста добрая и жених тоже классс

Вероятнее всего! Очень здорово, что они вам так понравились! Спасибо! хх

Yes, Kari, the little one also touched my heart when she said that, so her words were really special. She really made my day, as did all the sisters too. Thanks! ❤️

Aw! That's a lovely thing to say! Yes, they even shared a smile with me (camera lady!)

Hi TJ, I guess it's also true that there are not just two but many different kinds of weddings in every culture or tradition? I'm really pleased you loved this one of course, and hope if you watch a few more that you will also love them. Enjoy! xx

That's very sweet of you to care Rosa. I think in her case the bridesmaids all walked in first, but her dad WAS at the wedding so I wonder if I missed seeing him walk her down the aisle? It's a few months since I've uploaded this wedding so to be honest, I can't remember, but if you didn't spot him then mayne he just came to the reception, if he was working?

Thank you Sue. I'm happy that you are a kind person, and know that your sweet words will be appreciated by the family. xx

Why two zeroes, Kenny?

Thank you, Susan. Yes, they were a pleasure to meet and to share their day with my cameras! I also loved her very glamorous wedding dress!

Ha ha. Well spotted! Comfort rules!; Thanks Suzanne! xx

I will be wearing lavender converse shoes, and my bridesmaids will all also be wearing them!!!

Exciting! Its good to be different - and comfortable! So how did your wedding go? @Sami86K

That's wonderful, Anita! They had so much love for each other, so I think that makes all the difference. There wasn't any negative behaviour at all, just sweetness and happiness. I'm glad you enjoyed watching it. Thank you. xx

Thank you sweet Teresa! That's lovely to hear! Am sure the couple will be very pleased to receive your good wishes..xx

Until you get to the guest and all that tacky night club garb they wear UGH

@@jolimixx4212 Each to their own. Fashions come and go anyway!

@Joli Mixx Joli Minx seems a very apt name! Love it!

Aw that's lovely! Thanks Amanda! Yes, I also prefer them longer too, as the "highlights" style only tends to show the bare bones of a story, without all the emotional connections and nuances that really give you an insight into their real feelings. Hopefully it flows better this way too?

Am delighted you enjoyed watching their wedding Olivia! Yes, they were an absolutely fantastic family.

That's sweet! Thanks Brooke. Glad you enjoyed watching it! xx

Aw, thank you Tom! How thoughtful of you! They will appreciate that. xx

Thanks Merlin's Twin! I remember seeing your user name before, so it seems love traveller weddings too?. Yes the little flower girl stole my heart in particular too! I just wanted to take her home with me, but of course you can't do that!I Littte ones running around so happily really do make weddings special, don't they! ❤️

The little flower girl omg! 🥰 What a beautiful bride and wedding party. The little kids were too adorable!

Glad you enjoyed seeing them here. xx

Wow! That's SO beautiful! They are a family of 6 sisters and 4 brothers, so all very lovingly close. It's interesting to hear where you are from, too, Rebecca! I am also an emotional person, so I guess that is what I am looking for when shooting a wedding, be it photos or video. I've never been to your part of the world, but if ever I get an opportunity to capture a wedding there, I'd happily say hello! xx

@@ReelLifePhotos Heck Yessss!! I think you would LOVE it here!! I would gladly be your host if you decided you need to see Minnesota! I am the same, I look for the things that make my heart smile. its always the little things that I love! I have no idea how long I have been watching, but I know for sure it has been a long time, and every time you never cease to surprise me with how much thought you put into all of these! It hurts my heart when I see/hear about any kind of discrimination against this culture, but it makes me so happy to see just how much attention some of these weddings get. They are truly something spectacular!!! I understand others reservations about the ages, but those people clearly did not go to a catholic school or grow up being raised in a strict catholic environment...I am old (40 lol) and even when I was raised by my grandparents...the structure band beliefs are not that far off to be totally honest...even in "Modern" Irish Catholic families...a lot of the structures band beliefs are pretty close...I am not Catholic anymore (I joke and say I am in recovery LOL) but I certainly respect and appreciate the work ethic of the traveling community, and the amount of respect they have for their bodies, an upbringing. Thank you for being so awesome!

@Rebecca Roxx Wow, Rebecca!!! That's amazing! I'm a lot older than you, but as all my friends are around your age, and I'm pretty energetic, I'm up for that! I've no idea about what I would find to video, photograph or paint - am also an artist - www.askartist.co.uk but meeting a kindred spirit would be wonderful! xx Elaine

@@ReelLifePhotos That's what I love the most about Minnesota~ The diversity is endless!!! There are so many beautiful and fun things here to see!!! And such a HUGE variety (especially since we see and feel all 4 seasons, even if it is sometimes in one day LOL) I would love to show you around! I would say for someone like yourself, September Or October would be ideal, warm summer days, and beautiful fall colors, crisp fall evenings...It is hands down my favorite time of year!! I would love to check out your web pager!! I am excited to see the other wonderful things you do!

@Rebecca Roxx Itvsoynds like our weather here too! We also get .4 seasons in one day. I can't come this year as already have a trip planned for mid-September in between wedding bookings, but can hopefully plan it for next year. Thank you! All very exciting! You will find my WhatsApp number on both my painting site and on my wedding photography site. https:/www.reellifephotos.co.uk and on my business Facebook facebook.com/destination.wedding.photographer.uk

Thank you so much, Katrina. I add my wishes for them to yours, too! xx

Thank you Stephen. Yes, everything was really down to earth, and all the people really happy. It's nice to see a guy leaving a comment too!

Yes, it was truly gorgeous wasn't it! Thanks Lise.xx

That's brilliant, Kay! They truly were a lovely family, so special to see their closeness. xx

Thanks Sarah. They are sure to do well as are a great match! The whole family are very close so they will have support too. xx

Absolutely! They all had the sweetest of personalities, so loving and kind. This was a very happy wedding for everyone attending it too. Thank you so much for your your lovely comment! xx

Thank you for replying.. I watched the reception and the young groom Patrick what a lovely young man. They look so happy and well matched.

Ah, that's good. I'm.glad you enjoyed seeing the rest of their day too! xx

Thanks Michelle X. T ❤️ They were a very close family, so there was much love and happiness the whole day.

She did , didn't she! Thanks BlondieBow! xx

Yes, that also impressed me AP: so many people on one small space, yet everyone managed without any fuss at all! Absolutely amazing! xx

Aw bless! Yes, such a sweet family! (6 sisters a d 4 brothers in total - including the bride!) I really felt the love and the bride's little niece was SO cute! Thanks Laura! xx

Oh dear! Not my choice by any means Jojo!!! That's KZfaq for you!! Really sorry it spoiled your enjoyment!

@@ReelLifePhotos .. ohmygosh, sorry it wasn’t aimed at you… 🙏 I know it was KZfaq, too well. 😂

@JojoplusBo Phew! Glad you understood. xx

That's lovely! Thank you "For Truth"! Yes, am glad you noticed that about them, as I try hard to capture expressions as well as showing the story of their day. xx

@@ReelLifePhotos You nailed it my dear 😊

Thank you! xx

Wow, thats great to hear Beverley. Obviously there are all kinds of travellers and gypsies, all with different personalities and ways of speaking, just as there are good and bad in every culture. I have been lucky to experience many good ones! xx

That's really lovely, as you've understood what I was retrying to convey while capturing this scene, Deborah. I was also their wedding photographer so had two cameras round my neck! They were a very close and loving family of 9 siblings, though one was away giving birth that day: her husband came to the evening reception afterwards.

Thank you so much for the link! 😍 I’m looking forward to see more of that beautiful family. ❤️

@deborahtermini6060 Great! And I took their photos, ut they are in one of the "albums' on Reel Life Photos Facebook page.

@@JojoplusBo Yeah! Nice one! xx

Yes, I agree with you on that count! Thanks Kelly! xx

Wow, Jas C, that's such a lovely thing to say! Thank you. She will be very pleased to hear that. xx

Oh wow! What an amazing coincidence Kaleah! It seems that we now have a very global supply chain of goods in this decade, and trends often originate in your part of the world too! Am delighted you enjoyed watching it! xx

Somehow your comment Tracy, was held in a "review" folder, that I don't check that often, so have only just seen it. I'm glad you appreciated how sweet this traveller family is, but I had to Google you other mentioned person! I guess I don't watch enough reality shows, though I do enjoy MAFS Australia for the emotional, human elements! xx

This family were lovely though, very supportive of each other!

Oh wow! I wish I had more traveller weddings to share with you, but so far have only got bookings for Muslim and standard English weddings for the rest of this year. Yes they all did have lovely long hair, that's true. I'm not sure if it makes the hairdresser's job any easier though...

@@ReelLifePhotos - thanks for replying! I enjoy watching weddings of all kinds & learning about different traditions, customs, etc.♡

@Ellicott City Aw that's great! It's also one of the reasons why I live shooting different kinds of weddings too. To date I've covered weddings in Australia, Jordan, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, The Seychelles, Cuba, The Gambia, Cyprus, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, France, Southern Ireland, Thailand, Sumatra, Malaysia, Tenerife, as well as up and down the UK for the past 21 years.

@Ellicott City Thank you so much! I love seeing how everyone reacts to my videos, so appreciate all the various comments viewers make! xx

Thank you. The make-up artist will appreciate how you noticed her skills! The giros (all sisters) were all naturally beautiful too. xx

Oh thank you Pigeon! Yes, it was truly fantastic wasn't it! A lovely family, all round! xx

Yes, it sure was! It was very calm and relaxed while getting ready, and after the ceremony full of joy and happiness. Thank you Rachel! xx

Classy

@@knowneys1977 Thank you..xx

❤️❤️

The make up artist?

Thank you. It was a lovely wedding day altogether.

Thanks Roseanne. I loved her dress myself too! xx

Yes, that struck me too, how peaceful the whole family was, particularly while getting ready with so many people crammed into a tiny space. I think it helped that they were a close family, with 6 sisters ( including the bride) and 4 brothers, but yes, they were definitely very special in my mind too. Thanks Ditzy! xx

Yes she is, Hannah, both inside and out! Her whole family were really sweet and caring. Did you spot that she's one of 10 siblings? I met most of them at the reception: see part two of this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9iaoquiuZ-ugJs.html

Thank you Julie! They truly were a very special family with 6 sisters and 4 brothers! xx

That's lovely! Thanks Leanne! Hope xx

Exactly, Valerie! I'm glad you felt this way after watching it, too. Thanks! xx

Thank you @jaebird7513 😊 That's really sweet of you. I'm glad you enjoyed watching their wedding day! xx

Thank you T! Simple, warm and genuine is often better than flash and super expensive, isn't it! xx

Thanks Rosie! Yes! x

Thanks Sandy. That's very thoughtful of you. I'm sure the couple will appreciate your good wishes. xx

100% agree with you, Clathy! She had such a beautiful personality, as did all her many siblings! SO pleased you enjoyed this one..xx

Wow! Thats a compliment indeed, as I was actually only hired to shoot photos, so I wS doing both at once here! Thanks! xx

@@ReelLifePhotos it’s a lovely video, would love to have one like it when I get married one day🥰🥰

@@hellishnellish2036 Aw! Well save our details - www.reellifephotos.co.uk - and get back in touch whenever and wherever your wedding is, and hopefully I'll be around to shoot it for you, or of not then one my family team!

The bride and her family loved it, but as the initial version had no music during the getting ready stage, they asked me to take out the sound where they were chatting about personal things and to replace it with music, which is what I have done here, only keeping little segments of actuality sound. Thank you, Jan, for your thoughtful feedback! xx

Wow! That's amazing! Well we are based in Dewsbury, so I do get a lot of weddings in West Yorkshire, around Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and Huddersfield etc. Nice you found my video of them too! Thanks Bev! xx

Thank you, Val. That's so thoughtful of you. The whole family has turned out really well, all ten of the siblings. It must have been really hard on the parents, to bring up such a brood too!

Wow! You have beem watching carefully, It was a but no, these two weddings were a few years apart, so although most travellers all network together, and often recommend the same photographer or cake or dress maker for other friend's weddings, the timescale between these particular weddings makes that unlikely. It was a very thoughtful question though Michelle!

Oh that's so sweet! Thank you Miss Chris! She is also a lovely person, so worthy if your praise all round! xx

Thanks, LaDonna! They were a really sweet family too!

Well, you might have thought so, Gillian, but I think you and I would also have struggled to stay awake in church after being up since 4am to have hair and makeup done... I don't know how they got through the whole day and evening ,of dancing on just 2 hours sleep, Gillian! I was shattered at the end of the night, and didn't stay dancing till late, as am guessing they did!

@@ReelLifePhotos I don't know why people always have something negative to say about something so beautiful. I thought it was as a gorgeous wedding . Most people that are in wedding parties are exhausted by the time the wedding day comes. Just from the planning alone and assisting the bride and groom. I've been in 4 weddings along with my own wedding and can attest that every one was so much fun but I could have slept for days after each one. This wedding was truly a pleasure to watch and I wish this couple a lifetime of happiness.

@Mishirose Thank you for being such a thoughtful, and positive person! I guess life's experiences do help to broaden one's view, but not everyone is at that stage yet, and naturally, we all pick up on different aspects from our subjective view points, so can see why that initial comment was made, but fortunately, as I was there first hand, I knew why she was so tired. You Tube possibly does broaden one's mind, even just seeing how different people choose to express themselves is interesting, whether or not we can all agree on the points raised. Thank you for being so supportive! xx

Yes, I thought that too. Thanks Rebecca! xx

Definitely! It is always a work of art watching them work from very early im order to finish on time. xx

Aw, that's really sweet! Thank you LM. They were all lovely people too.

Ha ha. Yes I thought something similar with the bride when she struggled to get her head through her wedding dress, almost suffocating, but they all managed it somehow, without a hair out of place! The hairdresser really did a great job!

Thanks Trish! They were such a lovely family too, all very close and loving.

Yes, thank you, Cecilia. I thought so, too. They were all so sweet together, weren't they!

Yes, they sure are, both inside and out! Thanks! xx

Aw, that's great to hear! The MUA will be delighted!

It's funny how the very next person says the opposite (!), which just goes to show how subjective make-up and sense of personal style is!

Thank you ❤!

Oh thank you Roopal! Have you seen the other traveller (gypsy) wedding videos I have online here too?

Hi Rebecca. I don't yet know but I messaged the bride this morning to try to find out for you. xx

@@ReelLifePhotos awh I love a close family 💘 so lovely. Your work is amazing x

@@mollysmith2004 Wow that's really sweet of you Molly! I just feel for people and their expressions mean so much. It's not fancy or super polished, though definitely shown from the heart. xx

Thank you Daniel! Love your name too! xx

Two very good questions Lizzy! Now I can't be certain of the answers, but in my experience, the travellers/gypsies who are living on fixed sites, with chalets/ fixed caravans, tend to have give their children better chances at education and therefore are also possibly their parents are earning a better income. They all have smart phones and know how to use them. That isn't a complete answer, of course, but I also tend to get booked by families who are all religious believers, (Im neutral myself) so weddings I photograph or video, may not be representative of the traveller/gypsy community as a whole. As for their televised weddings, it's logical that researchers will choose the most outrageous/ entertaining ones for their audiences. I would happily video or photograph any gypsy/ traveller wedding, so they choose me, rather than the other way round.

Aw bless! That's so sweet Kerry. Female travellers always dress beautifully in my experience, and take a great deal of pride in their appearance. I'm glad you appreciated these lovely people and enjoyed watching the start of their wedding day. Did you also see their reception, Kerry?

Thank you! They were such a sweet family! I enjoyed shooting their wedding. xx

Lovely to see how far their wedding has been seen in several continents too! Thank you from the UK!

Oh, I had to laugh at that Doris! I was there watching, of course, but don't think they used more than 6-10, though I couldn't be 100% certain, as my main focus was on taking photos, and shooting video! They used plenty of hairspray too, but I can try to ask someone if it helps?

@@ReelLifePhotos I went to school for Cosmetology bout umping years ago lol I was reminded of how many we used in a coif with the hairspray and as the Ladies seem to have very long hair . I was watching and trying to do the math lol . Thank you though for your kindness. I was just being bat ssssh*t crazy for a min.😂😂🤣😎

Well that's a sweet reply, Doris! They also use a lot of hair extensions in order to achieve the volume of hair in these styles.

The church service was mainly attended by close family and friends, but they did have several more guests turn up for their wedding reception. Many of her friends will have had young children, so it's not suitable for them to all sit through a long church service. Having said that, it wasn't a huge wedding, and not everyone can afford to invite hundreds, can they!

Aw, but the bridesmaids were so lovely the whole day, so don't be too hard on them! They are a family of 9 siblings, so all very close!

@@ReelLifePhotos 9 wow. My late grandma had 12😳 my great grandparents were Irish travellers and before that my g g grandad helped to build the Titanic as they were from Belfast. About 20yrs ago I nursed an old guy who was 104 and he remembered the Titanic sinking. He was a child and was at a railway station when they announced it. I had some amazing conversations with him they are now precious memories.

@Felicity2121 Double Wow! That's quite a life story, Felicity! Maybe I should be making a film about you! Thanks for sharing! xx

Yes, she says she was almost full term. Coincidentally another couple should have been at the wedding too. One of the bride's brothers and his pregnant wife set off from Liverpool to attend the wedding, but then their baby decided otherwise, and it was born that very same day!

Thanks Luna. It sure was a cute bump! She danced all evening too, so must be pretty fit!

@@ReelLifePhotos She did look amazing & not surprised she's so fit. She almost stole the show (for me)😊

@Luna 333 Wow! And here was me thinking that the little 3 year old girl with dark curly hair was stealing the show! xx

@@ReelLifePhotos Kids steal the show all the time. I'd like to give it up to this beautiful pregnant lady this time 😊

Yes, 22 January 2022!

Yes, you got it, Cotton! Am glad you understand. Those wanting a bigger wedding have to either save up for longer, or have all the family chip in, unless of course, they run a successful business!

Oh, am sure he will! Both families were lovely. Its always a possibility in any marriage that one partner will abuse, or take advantage of, the other, anyway, but all the signs are good here. Thanks for caring Bella! xx

Wow! Yes, they were all stylishly elegant, weren't they! I still also like the costumes that you referred to as like those for drag Queens, as they offer a sense of drama and pageantry, that as a visual artist, I find quite exciting to capture and love the creative variety of styles they come up with. Travellers are never boring!

Hi CU Dazzle. Travellers behave differently from mainstream communities, so I am used to their different ways. They often haven't had much time alone together before their weddings, so haven't necessarily acquired the easy communication in public situations, that other couples may have. They are happy together anyway so are more like than most couples, to stay together for life, which gives them plenty of time to get even closer. Thanks for thinking of them. xx

Thanks Bubbles. It was a very sweet wedding. xx

Thank you. The whole family were very close, so it was a beautiful wedding.

@@ReelLifePhotos they all look so beautiful and gives me marilyn Monroe era vibes love it! How are they doing now

@lilmissanon Aw, that's lovely! Yes, you are right about the styling being almost a throwback to the 1950s or there abouts, with the flared skirts and fitted bodices. I've been trying to contact them to ask where to send their photos to, so will have ask them all how they are when the bride replies.

@@elizabethn7024 Excellent. It wasn't fancy, as they had to stick to a budget, but everyone had great day, and 9 of the 10 siblings made it to the wedding. One had to call in during the evening only though, as his wife suddenly gave birth a little unexpectedly!

Good question. All the other girls, except for one, are her siblings, so it's only natural. They are a very close and loving family of bothers and sisters!
