    What I think is the saddest part is that yes they get to be a princess for one day, but then the next day it's back to being Cinderella, a glorified servant. These girls are happy for a time, but the are excited for the wedding, not the marriage. Can you imagine the most exciting day of your life being over by the time you are 21?

      I could write a dissertation but I'll try to keep it simple. For starters I will acknowledge the level of control and DV in this traditional set up is across all cultures that observe it. There is absolutely a power balance issue when someone isn't _allowed_ to work.
      But now let me say you're being a bit myopic. Every birthday, every holiday, every wedding and every new baby bring us another best day of some sort.
      Everything is hard when you don't want it. But life is incredible if you consciously find reasons to be happy. 😊

      @MavonEast the problem is, none of the young girls (yes quite a lot if them are not even women yet legally), are not allowed to decide what they want. They are set along a certain path at a very young age and do not have the personal resources to deviate from that path, especially since a lot of them, including this sweetie Elizabeth here are quite illiterate.
      And I am not being short sighted, I said the most exciting day, not the happiest. That is THEIR view, not mine.

    In the last video, I commented that it seems like the females should be allowed to attend school because what if the women in these wedding videos get a divorce or their husbands die? How can the womem fend for themselves and provide for their children? It seems that in Bridgette Senior's case that the Gypsy community rallied around her and protected her, as well as her children, from her violent husband. Again, I still say I can appreciate the differences in cultures. But, every child deserves an education, regardless of their gender. I hope that more of the young women in the Gypsy communities will opt to stay in school and, at the very least, learn to read and write. Maybe they could do virtual learning, if their parents are afraid the females will be corrupted if they attend public school.
    Nice video, OMG Weddings. 🙂

    I understand keeping their traditions alive but honestly these girls should be able to get solid education and be able to have jobs. Keeping them married off and home bound is oppressive. What if they want something different than young marriage and children. Seems kind of sad.

    I think we all have to agree with Noreen. For that ONE special day of our lives; (which hopefully will only happen once),😉 we want to be the "Princess" of our Wedding, we want to be the MOST beautiful Woman in the Church/ Reception/ or Party on THAT day, because it only happens once.👰‍♀️😊 We also want our friends and family to remember how very memorable ( in a good way) that our Reception was (for us) and those we chose to share it with. Each culture has their own styles & traditions, no one is " better" or more fashionable, to each his or her own is whats best.😊
