Title: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding
Added: Feb 17, 2010
Author: firecrackerfilms
Duration: 2:0
Description:
Entering the world of 21st Century gypsy and traveller weddings, where ancient traditions meet modern fashions in an ostentatious culture clash, this film follows four gypsy and traveller families on their wedding day.Considered on the shelf at 20, in gypsy and traveller communities many girls get married soon after their 16th birthday with the support of their family.The weddings are visual spectacles: brides and their families compete to have the most flamboyant dresses; girls parade into church in enormous dresses that sometimes weigh more than the bride herself. Although the women look sexually provocative there is a tradition of premarital chastity that is increasingly unusual in Britain today.Gaining rare access to this fascinating and often misunderstood community, the film uses the prism of the weddings to reveal a culture where marriages between first cousins are acceptable but having children out of wedlock is still taboo and divorce is unheard of.Used to being taunted, this is a community that lives alongside but detached from mainstream society. It is a community of contrasts, living by centuries old religious and cultural traditions but at the same time embracing the gaudier extremes of the celebrity- and fashion-obsessed times in which we live. * Channel 4 (Cutting Edge) * 1 x 60mins * TX: 9pm 18/02/2010www.firecrackerfilms.com

May 22, 2012 - You're American. You're not like the travellers in the British isles.
QU3STION5 Says:
May 22, 2012 - They work as self employed tradesmen trimming trees, laying driveways, fixing roofs. whatever. Many build big companies.
Maricarmen417 Says:
May 22, 2012 - then if they own companies why do they live in trailer parks?
QU3STION5 Says:
May 22, 2012 - Because they hold on dearly to their culture, and living in caravans in trailer parks is what defines them from the rest of society, the intolerant society that surrounds them living in brick houses. They hold an unbreakable pride in their culture & trailer parks are at the centre of it.Trailer parks are also like private land to therm, outsiders generally aren't welcome beyond the gates. It's very secure.Many do buy land and build their own brick houses away from their communities though.

May 22, 2012 - You're just a childish fool. Just look at your comment's. You're claiming that All of them are Criminals.It's You who should stop Lying and Pretending you know about All travellers.And what's the big deal about being a criminal. What's the damning definition of that term according to you? I'm not a traveller, but I am a criminal while being reasonably educated and quite highly cognitive.You on the other hand are a worthless, unintelligible little prick. You've already proved it.

May 26, 2012 - R u freakin serious?!!? I am not even Gypsy and I think this is absurd. Gypsy's are wonderful people who have always been criminalized by society b/c of their unwillingness to lower their morals. Just b/c someone is different does not mean that it is bad. I am darn sure our lifestyle is not too great either. We are slaves to money and work and have forgotten family. I respect Gypsy's, but for sure as hell not you.U are the ignorance in society every history book states is the cause of genocide.
