They're out there, and from what I got to see of them on the shows most of them are doing their very best to hold onto their traditions. If your anything like me you assumed it was some kind of rare hippie group that traveled around together from rainbow gatherings to concerts, and that all real gypsies had long ago been integrated into society. When one thinks of gypsies often images of belly dancers, women dressed in long flowing skirts, and horse drawn wagons come to mind. ![]() To say I loved the show is an understatement! I didn't think I would love a show more than Teen Mom, but I love My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding more than any other show I have ever watched! I'm not really into anything other than documentaries, or reality tv, so this show hit the spot nicely for me! Sadly I never did catch the shows on TV, but thanks to one youtube poster I was able to watch episode one through seven, and even got to watch all episodes of Thelma's Gypsy Girls. Then I saw a preview of the show My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding on the television, and learned that it's gypsies who have those kind of weddings. I just assumed the bride wanted a fairytale themed wedding like how some people do medieval, or goth themed weddings. I had seen pictures on the internet of gypsy weddings many times, but had no idea they were "gypsy" weddings. If you loved the show you will like this, also one for fans of over the top weddings! I did google Sam & Pat last night to see how they were getting on but could only find a clip of them both with the baby and she was worried about him being bullied for being a Gypsy & also being bullied by Gypsies for not being enough of a Gypsy. And leave the room if sex is mentioned on the TV! Not something I could put up with. I didn't know before that women are not allowed to discuss pregnancy with the men and have to keep a bump covered. I do think alot of the culture is sexist. Especially when she writes about the life that would be expected for a daughter if she was to have one. It does sound like Pat stabilised her alot and I'm really glad she turned away from the self destructive path she was going on.Īlthough she is always positive about Gypsy culture, she does sound a little lost towards the end. I hope karma got that bloke, 11 years old. ![]() I liked reading about her life growing up even though there were some heart-breaking moments. Well this one certainly pulled me out of my reading slump! I loved 'Big Fat Gypsy Weddings' when it was on telly and it was nice to get some more insight to Sam who wore a MASSIVE pink light dress on her wedding day.
