And a limo or 12.

​@bsmaldon1 she need a fleet of them

Definitely!!

Why??? She is plenty busy & does not need the headache.

a venue that big will have cost a lot , and there will be huge monthly costs. She would have to manage the venue so it would get booked all year around, not only on travellers wedding seasons. that would be a hard work.

Why don’t you make the dresses short enough that the brides can walk? I hate to see them stumbling around.

Some have a dress made To change into afterwards For a skirt Also I don't think they know about bustling I watch a lot of traveler weddings and the brides never dresses afterwards I loved that my dress was Bussild It really helped with dancing my dress was a normal size I couldn't imagine having to walk around and something so big but I love their style and their culture people need not judge but I wish they would let the girls be a little older

​@@alenekyocum1983 I don't think that OP makes the dresses. Why are you directing the question to them???

Hell yeah. That’s a good idea. I would love to be involved in this community. I saw one in Rathkeale where the bar owner loved when the travellers came back and celebrated Christmas. He said they would spend a lot of money. I

Prob is they always want to be different and better.

She’s a cultural interpreter

I agree, her dress was lovely. Do you know what episode was Sammi Jo's Wedding?

Yes, that was so beautiful I loved that.

I absolutely loved Sammie Jo dress ❤❤

If 14 stone is that much, how much is 27?! Jesus…

HA! I actually googled 14 stone b4 I saw your comment! Thank you for putting the conversion up for future viewers😊

27 is 378 pounds 😭

Holy crap that's a heavy dress

Some do !

They probably don't know any better.

I watched that one. They did flip the hell out of it and made it so nice.

Hi, do you know what episode Sammi Jo got married?

It was like Katie prices!!

Their vocabulary is rather limited.

Yep

My Grandma had those, but they were knitted poodles to cover booze bottles!😂😂🐩🐩

Uhm yet no one really batts an eye about country girls and dance costumes or certain pageant outfits , like these are party and special occasion fits so idk how it’s different from a country girl wearing a fit easier to dance in than us travellers

I know, right? Even the little girls, lol. They are so worried about a girl's reputation, and yet allow them to dress and dance provocatively?? I mean no offense, it's just very strange to me.

@@traceyhellsten649 so what it’s literally what you guys do to little girls at dance comps and pagents

@traceyhellsten649 Reputation has nothing to do with how they dress. These women are some of the most loyal, dedicated people around. They are raised this way..to look great, take great care of their family ect. That’s their reputation. Most wait until marriage or serious commitment as they have high morals and values. It’s sad people still judge and look down on other people for how they dress. It’s weird. 🫣

Exotic dancers of course = strippers. I am appalled at seeing girls as young as 6 acting/dancing like strippers. That shouldn't be a part of anyone's "culture". These people treat females like possessions who get no respect whatsoever. Disgusting....and to top it all off, the men rip off people as part of their everyday jobs. The more I research their history the more I understand why they have to travel and are ostracized.

Agreed. Absolutely stunning ❤

Maxi dresses with hoop skirts 😉

@@traceyhellsten649 i mean that works technically but realistically nobody is going to spend 8 syllables on an adjective lmao, which was my point Sticky out is so nice and it's obviously come from people saying "i want a dress that sticks out alot" and its evolved into sticky out, like how we have gonna instead of going to . I just appreciate how these girls have developed a word to describe something they needed to describe and described often, that the english language didnt already have a word for . Theyve filled a gap they needed filled and i just love stuff like that esp linguistically

It’s also not Spanish, 😂 gets me every time I see that one. I am from the states, so I see Hawaiian

Yeah that’s a hot mess dress

@@FenrirTheWolf01 stupid 100% stupid idea for a wedding dress , to me she looked like she was going to a fancy dress party . Seriously I think she will live to regret this . How her family allowed her to do it , beats me SO Bloody Stupid

Are you kidding me? Those dresses are breathtaking. The most shebang of all of them

​@Saly Black They were her hen dresses not her wedding dress.

Agree. Bigger is not better.

I personally don’t think there tacky just very Disney/fairy princess. The traveler girls all seem to have similar taste and they are still children/girls

Yeah I always wonder about the awkward angles they would capture.

They don't pay rent or have mortgages due to living in caravans, they avoid paying taxes, and they're often in jail for thieving

Amazing how much you save when you don't pay taxes, mortgage, rent, whatever...plus they get their money from various "avenues" and not all of those avenues are legal......before anybody jumps on me for saying that I wanna say I have traveller in my family, my grandad was an Irish traveller who gave the life up for my grandma, I know a lot that happens in this culture.

I’m guessing since they’re not bogged down with Mortgages All their cash goes towards their weddings - also notice how they have quality porcelain inside their Caravans ? Royal Doulton etc …. Makes sense actually. Stuff the banks Just live in a caravan n deck it out with all mod cons n just get up and go whenever it suits you. ❤

According to a 2011 Daily Mail article, the wedding dress can cost between 15,000 - 50,000 pounds, with the tiaras adding another 1,000 pounds.

How can they afford those?

@@bohemian_witchno mortgage drain on their cash flow So yeah Why not 👍🏼💄

I feel like big poofy dresses are desired by most girls/women. It’s the Princess appeal I think lol

I thought the same. Mean little cow bags.

@@mrsl8596 lol

It is wring to dress up so ostentaciously for Holy Communion. It takes the focus away from Jesus. The dresses should be simple with no make up and no party afterwards. It is a SPIRITUAL occasion.

@@Anon.5216 blah, blah, blah...My son is being baptized in May and we are going to have a hug, blow out party! Yes, it is a Spiritual moment, but it is also something to celebrate. Next year he will make his first Communion, and we'll have another blow-out party. So put that in your peace pipe and smoke it,

I try not to judge but the fact that it actually said “baby phat” is one of the tackiest things I’ve ever seen on a wedding dress. I will Never understand why you would want words on your wedding or prom dress?!?

Can you not be disrespectful to the culture, it’s a dance it’s movements like it’s only because of you country people trying to make it out more !🤦🏻‍♀️☠️

@@mariahostapiak9367 forceably man handling a young woman is not a culture, it's sexual harassment. And I'm not being disrespectful, I'm saying exactly what I see... I'm seeing exactly what was being filmed so don't put words in my mouth.

@@carrielopez1728 dumb cunt did I say anything about grabbing no because that’s usually either boys doing it on their own or got daddy’s of girls permission to grab so fuck off about that bullshit ya cunty country girl I was only talking about the culture around our clothing

@@mariahostapiak9367 and,by the way, I don't know what you even mean by "country people" but you are using it as an insult, which I never insulted you. I live in the US and young girls are typically protected against treatment like that.

@@carrielopez1728 so yea you are being disrespectful to our culture around our choice of outfits used for special occasions and dancing ya blind bimbo

Are they your children? No? Then stop.

Shut up you racist, it’s called they’re for special occasions and to be able to actually dance 🤦🏻‍♀️☠️

@@mrsl8596 They are Gods children! So, NO! I will never stop when it comes to their best interests!

@@juanitawiley1263 they are the children of their parents. Their parents raise them in a loving family that includes cultural beliefs and traditions that differ from yours. It is my understanding that most young ladies are pure on their wedding day. Please look at your culture, what is the divorce rate, how many young people are pure when they are married, etc. before you judge another.

@@virginiastirnweis.6496 they’re dressing them like many words that I wish not to say. God will be greatly disappointed that their parents that were blessed with angels are raising children that will not respect their precious bodies! If that’s their culture??? I’m sooooooo disgusted. The images of children dressing like grown sexy women makes me sick! They deserve better than that. They’re kids.

i was literally thinking the same thing that didnt look ok at all

I think it's one those cultural things you have to have grown up with to get the finer nuances of, but from the outside looks every shade of wrong. What I mean is that it probably came about during a time when it was difficult for boys and girls who did like each other and wanted to have a private moment to steal a kiss to do so without the girl looking wanton by their cultural customs. At a time when a girl isn't suppose to go off willingly with a boy who isn't family alone. I think that actually is still the case. So by the boy "grabbing" in front of witnesses he actually is preserving HER reputation. I'm sure there are all sorts of ways and means both between the couple, and for the girl's family to tell if this is a wanted grabbing or not. Not my cup of tea either, but as long as it's really an act that all parties are in on and agreeable to, who am I as an outsider to make a fuss.

​@@a.westenholz4032in most of these cases, that's not it. The girls are expected to marry the first boy who shows them interest, hence why grabbing is "okay" to them, it's the boy marking his territory, how she feels about things doesn't matter, her job is to cook, clean, have babies, and shut up

@@RandomName-my2uo🥺🤯😫🤮👰‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️OMG😳

yeah. imagine all those only once used expensive gorgeous gowns.. i wonder too.

I looked Thelma up on Google, and I think the Nico shop is closed now

It's an old show, she mightve retired or sold up by now

LoL she goes by word of mouth

Idk but she did a wonderful job. A shame she said she wouldn’t do any more.

You mean Joan Elizabeth Furey, the Irish traveller from Manchester who got divorced?

Yesss. So curious about what happened to her 10 years later

It was literally the first episode of the Gypsy Brides

@@84BlueCrownvic she had a son with the husband, he was a bully towards her so she divorced him after 18months of marriage and sold the wedding dress to another gypsy girl. She's now a single mum and hopes to remarry a gypsy man. Joan is actually my favorite bride from all of these shows x

Museum must be built!

One of the pink ones was a prom dress, not sure if that’s the one you’re talking about. It was the one that said “Barbie” on it.

Do you mean Sam (10:14) they were one of the first couples on this show to divorce after she said he was abusive to her. Sam, Josie, Barbara and the lady from the pilot episode all got divorced since the show aired

A lot become born again Christians, like Paddy Doherty's son or I've even met an English Roma Gypsy who's a Jehovahs-witnesses
