  • There's only 5 days to go before the big day, and Lully still has no wedding dress!
    In England, 16 year-old Lully speaks with a thick Irish accent and lives within a fiercely Irish community… but she’s never been to Ireland.
    The build-up to her wedding is so stressful she loses her voice! In Ireland, the fearsome Joyce family are preparing for baby Alice’s christening. Her grandfather, Joe, is a former bareknuckle boxer once known as King of the Travellers.

    *_clears throat and prepares to share findings with the classroom_*
    Okay, I think I’ve found the bridal shop that Lully was shopping at. It appears to be ‘Bride Angel’ in Finsbury Park London. It’s closed now, but the one review I found for it was a bride who reported her wedding dress was ‘forgotten’ by them. Apparently they then tried to give her the wrong dress, and refused to return her deposit. It seems like they weren’t in business for very long - April 2013 to September 2014.
    On watching the episode I wondered if there was some sort of misunderstanding from Lully and her mum perhaps thinking the deposit was the full amount owed (although 500 GBP would be shockingly low for 12 dresses)…However, I’m inclined the think the shop was up to no good here!

      I think the talks are basically since they are children. Their parents know qms except them to be married at 16 or so so they focus on making sure they can make a livelihood by then and probably educate them on marriage also. I know doe those who work in fairs, they learn to do the job as children or teens and inherit the business when their parents retire.

      Travelers are known to pay cash most of the time, so either it was a mistake on the shopkeepers part or they pocketed the money and blamed the travelers since there are still loads of prejudice against them and the shopkeeper probably thought the police wouldn't believe the travelers.

    I'm no expert on Traveler weddings nor do I live within the culture or community of this society. In binge watching every series in the "My Big Fat Gypsy...." production and syndication, including spin-off shows and countless documentaries about gypsy weddings....the one thing I have noticed with these little girls marrying at such a young age is that they age quickly. They go from looking young and fresh-faced at 16 or 17yrs old to to look as if they're in their 30s, ever-pregnant bouncing a baby on their hip and pushing a toddler in a stroller. And that's just after a few years of being married. The race to get these girls married and off on their own is emotionally traumatic for them and physically damaging because their bodies are barely ready to have sex, let alone conceive and give birth. It forces them to grow up extremely fast and causes them to age quicker than nature intended. None of this is cute or wonderful. It's just really sad.

    Love it! They should have had subtitles on this one when she speaks the bride because it's hard to understand her accent but nonetheless love the series more more please! 💜💜💜💜

      There are subtitles, but the accents are so heavy, the subtitles aren't accurate.

      @@Lido9999 auto generated subtitles don’t help at all. If humans can’t understand the accent, the computer certainly can’t. The auto generated captions always suck unless the person is talking very clearly.
