I love this programme, but really don't see the point in putting these young girls through the pain of wearing dresses for their communions which weigh more than they do.

I admire the young gypsy lad who married a non gypsy, and wish the young couple a very happy married life. I think they should be allowed to live on the land they have purchased. More of them appear to be educating their children these days.

Perhaps they could donate their dresses to charity on pass them down the family. They cost a fortune!!

I find it difficult to understand why anyone would want to dress a child like a bride. Last week the dress was heavier than the child but I found myself looking at the screen in disbelief at the bride but rightly or wrongly I find the program compulsive viewing.
After taking the fire extinguisher to the wedding in last nights program because of health and safety at what point does the excess end. What I did like about last nights wedding where a non traveller married into their community was the positive attitude that both sides were mixing and not segregated as many wedding are. -jl

No idea, but they'd need a trailer with an extension!

I hadn't realised until last week? that the first communion dress is also an elaborate creation too.

Watching these girls marrying in enormous dresses and moving into tiny trailers makes me wonder what happens to those dresses after the wedding.Any ideas?
