@jeannedenbigh8919 Maybe yes, maybe no, as Travellers are often less "connected' initially due to the fact that they previously wouldn't have spent time alone together.
I don't think there is any cause of concern, though, particularly about the way the groom was standing, as that's the standard way most traveller grooms feel comfortable. They don't have the same feelings about that as many others have, you see.
@@ReelLifePhotos Yes, it shows. classless.. Later on in the evening with a guts full of alcohol there will be one almighty punch up, just for fun of course..
Hi PattiAnne, As a woman myself, who hasn't worn any makeup at alll since I was 19, I also feel that very few people actually need to wear makeup. However, this style is extremely popular at traveller weddings, and almost a forgone fact at Muslim weddings too, so we can hardly deny a bride her chosen look on her wedding day, can we?
Do couples ever spend time together on their wedding days? I have been photographing weddings professionally for 23 years, and can honestly say that, apart from Muslim weddings where they sit on a stage together to be endlessly photographed and videoed woth all their respective families and friends, its actually really hard ti naturally capture a bride and groom together without requesting their joint appearance away from the guests!
I hope that wasn't directed at me, but rather at those who constantly feel superior to Travellers? Sadly,, too many people are quick to criticise Travellers - for their differences - rather that to embrace them for the very best parts of their culture. Everyone is happy to be entertained, but very few stop to think that these are real people with feelings, that they are laughing at! So I agree with you Christine, that it's not nice to do this.
I understand what you mean. It's a very popular style of makeup for gypsies and Muslims alike, though, and has been for over a decade. The bride likes it, so that's all that really matters, isn't it?
Many girls and women love false eyelashes, but they do make it harder to get a clear view of their eyes from a photographer's point of view. The smallest blink and the eyes are totally obscured, but I can't change fashions myself.
Traveller rarely do look at each other during rhe vows as they are concentrating hard on copying what the officiant is asking them to say. Yes, the bride isn't much given to smiling anyway. That's just how she is.. xx
@johnflowers783 Oh, a fair bit, but then most wedding hairstyles need to last the full day, but then this one is also very well pinned, so doesn't usually have a problem staying in place. Things tend to be seen as weird, only if we are not familiar with them, which of course I am, as I see this style very frequently.
@@ReelLifePhotos Yes. Their culture is hundreds of years old and is perfectly normal to them. They all looked stunning and I wish them very best wishes and happiness for their future. ✨
That gown is so heavy and that little tiny woman is trying to hold up all that weight of the dress! Some even end up passing out from the weight of the dress.
@shellybeals2806 Very true! They also usually have to pad their waist and hips with disposable nappies, to protect them from bruising, which quite shocked me at first, but now I can see why they do it!
Not at all, Nick. Travellers rarely act the same as you would expect from your own experiences. They rarely have a chance to be alone together prior to their marriage, so they are always a little shy together on their wedding day. The bride is like that normally anyway, but was also a little stressed, as expected.
@@ReelLifePhotos "rarely have a chance to be alone together prior to their marriage" is something I was aware of so that's why I thought it could be an arranged marriage..thanks for the info!
Thanks Audrey. I'm glad you liked the finished results! I don't necessarily think she looks older styled this way though, but possibly just that you associate this hairstyle with a bygone era?
That's fairly standard, I find, in traveller weddings, possibly as couples don't develop the kind of relationships prior to their marriage, that we now take for granted, as they are not allowed to be alone together beforehand. People get stressed easily, too, and lengthy church services are never going to be easy for guests with young children in tow! (I have vastly shortened the sermons and bible reading elements)
Thats a very good question! I didn't notice that too much during the filming, as I was also taking photos, but they were most likely not too comfortable, being stared at by everyone. Travellers don't udually get any time alone together before getting married, so they generally don't initially have the same bonds as other couples at this stage, but they develop them soon afterwards. They also almost never have the usual public kiss, after being pronounced man and wife, as don't like public displays of intimacy.
So many negative comment on here, she had the wedding she wanted. she was no doubt nervous and stressed about everything, maybe that’s why there wasn’t much smiling. I wish them all the luck in their married life.
That's probably because they are not used to public displays of emotion, Carol, bearing in mind too, that travellers don't get to spend time alone together, prior to marriage.
@Lisalisag2023 Very true! Muslims also have the same system, and I know many who have found this a huge wrench. At Muslim weddings, it's traditional for the bride to start crying her eyes out as she walks out of her wedding reception into the waiting car that will usually be taking her to live with her husband's family, away from her parents! Travellers and Muslims, share many traditions and cultural norms!
So what! We all make different choices in life, which is what makes it interesting. We can't all be the same, can we? I have never smoked in my life, but it isn't helpful to them comparing them to either myself or to yourself.
Well, maybe it's because I was shooting with only one camera, so unlike the other video you watched, Cheryl, you didn't get to see everything that was happening? You are mainly right though, as far as I can remember. I shoot many weddings where they only want photos, and not videos, which is a pity.
Yes it was a classier wedding. Of course there was the woman who had so much of her breast exposed for the wedding but the bride & groom had no control over that & the single girls were not dressed as street walker.
No, travellers don't do arranged marriages. Sometimes, though, they decide to run away together, then they know if they do that, the wedding will follow very quickly.
The bride looked so depressed until she smiled at the end, didn't look like they were in love. Plus the hair I wonder if it's natural cos it looks like it weighs a tonne plus God knows how many cans of hairspray were used
The bride is just that kind of person, so not depressed at all, but super aware of her image. I'm glad you at least found one part where she smiled, though! Travellers don't tend to show public displays of romantic gestures, and have usually had very little time alone together prior to their wedding. As for the hair, the styles are created by talented hairdressers who have plenty of experience of this style, and yes of course they build up the hair with extensions, and often insert a central core, around which the build the added layers. It's a real art! Most of my Muslim clients also style their hair in a similar manner, except that they then cover it loosely with a veil, rather than leaving it all on show.
I do so hope you are not right, though yes, maybe she is self-centered, You must have looked pretty closely and are good at picking up signs of character.
Yes, I also never recognise most brides oncd their make-up has been removed, and they are in their normal clothes with their everyday hairstyle. I think that must be the point about dressing up for a wedding, to become your ideal self? Not that that is something I would do, but most seem to aspire to their idea of glamour on their wedding day, don't they?.
Obviously, that's rather funny, as I very much doubt she would have had the time, or inclination to drink! Men get ready quickly, then go to the pub, but women take their time and rarely drink at all until it's all over, if then!
@cynthiat6505 Aw thanks, Cynthia! Yes, she was very insecure/ bodyy conscious. There's a lot of pressure on being a bride, isn't there! Have you seen this wedding in this link?ua-cam.com/video/T-_oQKkAjHs/v-deo.html
They probably don't! (know what they are supposed to be doing), which is not really surprising, as its quite daunting being up in front of a crowd of people, if it's all unfamiliar.
I'm guessing you asked that because you felt her styling was too old-fashioned, but actually, these hair and makeup styles are what almost all traveller brides love . Similarly, all my Muslum brides, too!
The bride and groom stood that far apart in church I'm surprised they could reach each other to put the rings on...Then she sat with the women at the reception playing on her phone, and he was nowhere to be seen. No eye contact, no kiss or hug. It all seemed as though it was a fashion parade rather than a wedding. But your dress was beautiful, and so were you, even though you never smiled. Good luck to you both
Men and women sitting apart is normal at traveller weddings, neither do they kiss or hug in front of their guests, but, like you, I also wish them well.
I know they didn't smile, but they probably felt too stressed, as its not easy standing up in front of a crowd for an almost two hour, very formal, church ceremony!
Of course, but as they will have never been allowed to be alone together prior to the wedding, it is to be expected. Travellers also don't like public delays of emotion at most weddings I've seen. They never 'do' the traditional kiss in the church, either.
@@dianepeters8775 I'm sure he's seen her before, fortunately! I think it's the same after every wedding, as I always struggle to recognise the bride when I see her afterwards when she comes to choose the wedding photos for her album!
Must admit these women are beautiful love the outfits and the brides dress for a traveller is stunning the kids are cute and well behaved hope they both have a long happy 💓marriage
Now that's the kindest thing anyone has said about this couple and their wedding, Angie! You are the best! Thank you SO much for redressing the balance!
@jujube8067 No, they don't have intimate relationships prior to marriage, and those are definitely not his - or her - children Yes, you are right in that their styling is very classical, harking back to a bygone era, probably even older than 1968!
@suesmith4289 That's great advice, Sue! I wish tbat on every couple whise wedding I shoot, though in the past 23 years as a wedding photographer and videographer, I have shot two or three bride's weddings twice, and one eve for the third Time, but to my knowledge, those ones are all very happy with their final choice!
I understand @Shungabali. It's not something I personally would wear myself, but know how much brides LOVE to be seen in these huge false eyelashes. It was just for one day, and it made her feel good, so that's all that really matters, isn't it?
@@ReelLifePhotos sorry but not all brides, I've been a bride myself and I've friends and family that have been brides too😄 Anyway whatever she likes is fine 😀🩷
Ok. I probably meant to say that nearly all brides whose weddings I photograph... I personally never even wear makeup at all, only when I was a teenager!
A few people have said that, but it wasn't. I've never heard of an arranged marriage in the Traveller community either. They are sometimes expected to marry if they've formed a relationship already, though.
Oh, really? I think it's only because you are not used to this style, Susan, as its immensely popular for almost all Muslim and Traveller weddings, and has been for at least 2 decades in my personal experience..
No. Travellers don't tend to have arranged marriages, though if a girl runs away with a boy overnight, then yes they know that they will be expected to get married. I don't know though, if that was the case at all here.
I had to laugh at that, Debs! Thelma Nadine obviously was never the only designer for the whole of the UK's traveller population. The ones I've seen this year have all been with large underskirts and wired all round the hem, so still pretty heavy to wear. Fashions change, anyway, don't they....?
Well, I must say that no-one present at the time thought like that. I don't think you can have watched many Traveller weddings to have perceived them in that way.
It's a heavy, Eastern style that has been popular for decades for Muslims and Travellers. The actual product appears to be the sane as used anywhere, but I could be wrong, as I'm not a make-up artist, just the wedding photographer and videographer. .
That’s the most beautiful dress I.ve seen, beautiful bride, all the bridesmaids looked gorgeous too. The church looked stunning with the floral display, wow. A fabulous wedding. ✨
Thank you Christina! That's really kind of you. Yes, they put a lot of thought into making it as special as possible, since they weren't having a reception afterwards, other than a quick visit to a carvery for a few of the close family and best friends,
Thank you! I hope they do well together, too. Love your nickname as well! I often video and photograph traveller weddings, so check out the rest I have online here and hope you will also enjoy new ones later this year. xx
No worry. Just a little bit to go and it will be as tasteful as the Lebanese style weddings. Check it ' wedding at the Opera in Paris". Might give you ideas again .
@annemariepelegrin3602 Arab women love to wear low-cut dresses, but they only ever do so in the company of other women. The men are strictly banned and kept corralled in a separate room.
@joycealdred1277 Hi Joyce,, that's actually pretty standard af Traveller weddings, as they have"t had time beforehand to develop that kind of relationship, as they are not allowed to be alone together prior to their marriage.
Yes, you are right. It's simply lack of education. Its hard to break a cycle if that is how their parents were like to them. I don't condone it, but they simply don't know any differently, unfortunately!
Oh dear! I didn't notice others not smiling, just the bride, who was more concerned about her appearance and isn't a natural smiler , particularly when stressed.Not every one can enjoy the process of getting married, but I'm still hopeful for the couple's happiness.
@AmyMahoney-m6y Well it actually wasn't that long ago, and as they have been paying for their wedding album in monthly instalments, I'll be seeing the bride very soon for her to choose the photos she wants using in her wedding album.
No, travellers rarely ever have a first kiss in church. It's because they would previously not have spent time alone together, so they are certainly not going to be up for a public didplay of emotion like that.
Ich bin erschrocken über die vielen negativen bis bösen Kommentare 😮 Vielleicht ist es bei den Reisenden so und das sollte man so akzeptieren. Ich denke, dass das Brautpaar noch sehr jung ist und nicht gewusst hat, was alles auf sie zu kam. Ich fand die Braut sah sehr hübsch in ihrem Kleid aus. Das Kleid war wunderschön und die Frisuren sahen nach einer Menge Arbeit aus, mir gefielen sie. Natürlich schwierig dort einen Schleier zubefestigen. Beide waren eher unsicher. Ich wünsche dem Paar ein langes und glückliches Leben bei dem sie die Liebe zu einander finden und stärken können.
First time I'm coming across a gypsy wedding. I'm not familiar with the term or culture. Brings back my aquanet memories...❤ congratulations to this couple.
I understand. Many people have made a similar comment, but its how they like it. This style is very popular with travellers and Muslims, so I see it all the time.
Everyone keeps sayign the look unhappy. I think they are just shy, especially the bride. They are very traditional in the sense she will be young and has never been alone with her now husband (probably). There were plenty of happy smiles and smirks thogihout the service. I think they all pooked lovely!
That's very perceptive of you Deedee! You understand their traditions well. It's always going to be hard to know how a relationship will develop once the excitement of a wedding day has worn off, something - young Traveller girls in particular -they have dreamed of for as long as they can remember.
I had to laugh at that! Yes, brides can get over-consuned with the while idea of a wedding, particularly if that's all they've dreamed of since they were a child playing with dolls, but as its very true that a wedding doesn't make a marriage!
Everyone looks beautiful ✝️🤍🕯 The little girl saying “big dumb dress” 😂 I wonder what hers will be like😊 Not sure about the trend with their hair. Guess I’m still in love with how they used to have it. I was a bit worried about that candle in the church on the floor😮
Aw, how sweet! Thank you, Felicity. Yes, children say exactly what they are thinking, unlike us adults! As for their hairstyles, they are very elaborately crafted, and I reckon they most likely have their basis on styles from.way back in history, though woth the use of modern techniques and material. They are super elegant, in my mind, though I am probably biased, as have seen literally hundreds of similar hairstyles, mainly in Muslim weddings. In fact, travellers often hire Pakistani hairstylist and makeup artists, as they know that they are the experts in these styles! xx
@@ReelLifePhotosI was a little surprised when the hair and makeup were not Asian. I get on really well with the travelling community a lot of people are weary of them. I used to see a girl and her gran in a supermarket in Wakefield a lot and she was shy at first but after a couple of bumps she started to talk to me. You have to earn their trust though. I like Jimmy he is a cheeky crappy and he sneaked a vape and had a puff in the church 😮😂
@@Felicity2121 Yes, its not every time, but you are right in that its usually the case. I loved your little tale about the shy girl and her gran! As for Jimmy, you sure are eagle-eyed, as I hadn't spotted that! I think I was too busy carrying 2 cameras around my neck,while trying to capture both video and photos!
I understand about the candle, and the bride's long train swishing past it, but fortunately the protective glass was solid enough, in this instance.I once caught my hair alight on candles at a wedding reception, whilst leaning over to take a photograph! Fortunately someone spotted what was happening before any serious damage was done, but all the bride and groom's friends didn't half rib me about it later!
Absolutely so! Thank you LavanaThey made a special effort to decorate it as they weren't having a fancy reception and wanted it to look good for the photos, too.
Absolutely so! Thank you, Lavana! They made a special effort to decorate it as they weren't having a fancy reception and wanted it to look good for the photos, too.
Yes, everybody is coming to this conclusion, which could have a grain of truth in it, but on the other hand, they would have chosen to be together, and may just feel uncomfortable being the centre of attention.
Yea, the groom even had a smoke WHILE signing the contract! Even I as an atheist am sorry for that priest. He tried his best to give this very sad event a little appearance of joy. Unfortunately no-one cared ...
@ritajaklitsch7559 I had to laugh at the bit where you say that even you, as an Atheist, felt that his smoking (vaping?) in the church was wrong! I'm not sure the priest noticed, as I didn't either, at the time, even though I've caught it on camera!
What is true love? Surely it's more than "butterflies' and endearing looks? Time will tell, but if she's prepared to look after him when he's an old man or vice versa, that, for me, would be a better indicator of "true love"!
@rascalgirl84 That's always a good way to think! I never wear makeup myself, but if others like too, whatever style they choose is just their way of self-expression, isn't it?
That's actually quite normal in some traveller weddings, as they don't really have a chance to get to know each other that well,since pre-marital relationships are not allowed or even being left alone together. It could also be her personality anyway, as she was more into her mirror image than expected.
They probably barely even know each other! They get their first alone time after they are married! That’s when they start getting to know each other and “hope” love follows, eventually! Plus she is expected to be pregnant soon after the wedding.
Oh, sorry, is the music really that loud? Maybe it's my ears, but I actually use visual levels to check everything too. The simple solution, though, since you are the very first, and only one, to complain about that, is to turn the volume down on your own audio controls.
The Bride and groom don't look at each other while the Priest talks... Are they in an arranged marriage? They don't look as if they are in love... My friend got married and she couldn't stop kissing her groom all during the ceremony ... they were so adorable and so much in love.
I understand your concern. Travellers don't have time to develop that kind of deep relationship as they are not allowed to spend time alone together prior to marriage. They also almost never have a first kiss in public, either! They don't do arranged marriages, but they are sometimes told to get married if they have broken the conduct rules and run away together. I'm glad your friend has such a beautiful relationship, of course, but this couple will hopefully develop that in time. The bride wasn't really a smiley sort of person, anyway!
@ritajaklitsch7559 They often rush into marriage, but they do form good bonds over time. Yes, several do fail, but then not all marriages are hunky-dory in the wider community either.
I thought the bridal party had some amazing hair, a lot of work went into this wedding and I can only imagine how exhausted the bride must have been by the end. Weddings aren’t easy to organize and get through. ❤
@meghanplamondon8639 Yes, exactly! These ornate styles take a lot of work, but the hairstylist is highly experienced and very skilled, so she makes it all look so easy! Yes, I think any wedding where many guests are involved takes months of preparation with a great deal of excitement during the build-up to their big day, as there is so much to organise! You, Megan, are the very first to point out how physically tiring a day like this is! It's almost certainly emotionally, but hopefully, in a good way! Thank you! xx
Well although it may seem rude in certain cultures, it's not seen as an issue at all with Travellers. After all, what do you do with your hands when you are nervously standing in front of so many people, all with their eyes on you? He's young, so not that experienced in life or social expectations.
Aw, yes, they really did go to town on their beautiful outfits and with the church decorations. I think they had decided that the church ceremony was the most important part of their day, as they only had a carvery meal afterwards, rather than a wedding reception with a DJ and dancing.
The little bridesmaids looked adorable, their dresses were gorgeous. The bride’s dress was lovely but unfortunately I feel her natural beauty was diminished by the far too heavy makeup!
@RosemaryHart-mg6kt Hi Rosemary, Thank you for your sweet and sensitively worded comment. Yes, she was wearing very heavy makeup, which is obviously not a natural look, but Travellers really go for this particular style. They almost always choose a makeup artist who specialises in this art. If you've ever been to a Muslim wedding, you'll spot the similarities as they, too, wear the heavy foundation and over emphasised eyebrows. Similarly, the hairstyles follow this same "fashion". Really and truly, very few young ladies actually "need" to wear makeup at all, but it's a multi-million pound /dollar industry, which is unlikely to change, so as most people follow what others in their cultural group do, this look is followed by by this bride too.
Are they not allowed to look at one another even when they say their vowels I watch the ice guy never smiled. She looks like she doesn’t want to be there, but I bet he’s got money and that’s why she’s marrying the guy. At the reception she’s with the girls and so far I don’t even see where the groom is there. She sits checking her emails. That definitely wasn’t a marriage of love.
Yes, of course they can look at each other, but in general, travellers haven't had time to build that kind of relationship before getting married. They would not have been allowed to be alone together beforehand, you see. If they do attempt to run away together to be alone, they are then expected to marry. Travellers have a very strict moral code regarding relationships. It's also a tradition for the guys to sit separately from the girls at the reception, and more females than males attend anyway. I think she was looking at her social media, rather than emails, though, and traveller girls do tend to upload loads of pics of themselves so she would have also wanted to see ones others had posted of her too.
Exactly, Finanzen, which is why they tend to marry young. They share many codes and wedding styles with Muslims too; the hair and makeup styles, for example, as well as the moral code and being family orientated.
Yes, any bride in a strapless dress has a similar kind of problem.They really aren't that comfortable to wear, and there's always the worry that they will slip and expose too much of her body..if asked before a dress is chosen, I always suggest avoiding them!
Lots of people keep saying that, but she was fine afterwards. I think she was just stressed out with all the arrangements. She might also not be a smiley sort of person. Weddings put a lot of pressure on brides, as everyone is looking at them, and in any case, travellers will not have previously spent time alone with their fiancé.
That was the oddest unemotional disconnected couple I have ever seen
@jeannedenbigh8919 Maybe yes, maybe no, as Travellers are often less "connected' initially due to the fact that they previously wouldn't have spent time alone together.

Seemed like a sad event. They wouldn't even look at each other. 😢
Not at all, Nick. Travellers rarely act the same as you would expect from your own experiences. They rarely have a chance to be alone together prior to their marriage, so they are always a little shy together on their wedding day. The bride is like that normally anyway, but was also a little stressed, as expected.

That's fairly standard, I find, in traveller weddings, possibly as couples don't develop the kind of relationships prior to their marriage, that we now take for granted, as they are not allowed to be alone together beforehand. People get stressed easily, too, and lengthy church services are never going to be easy for guests with young children in tow! (I have vastly shortened the sermons and bible reading elements)

Thats a very good question! I didn't notice that too much during the filming, as I was also taking photos, but they were most likely not too comfortable, being stared at by everyone. Travellers don't udually get any time alone together before getting married, so they generally don't initially have the same bonds as other couples at this stage, but they develop them soon afterwards. They also almost never have the usual public kiss, after being pronounced man and wife, as don't like public displays of intimacy.
Thank you Kate! xx

So many negative comment on here, she had the wedding she wanted. she was no doubt nervous and stressed about everything, maybe that’s why there wasn’t much smiling. I wish them all the luck in their married life.
@@pennykafai4645 Well said, Penny! Thank you. I 100% agree with you!
YESSSSS! People are so disgusting with their comments. She was a lovely Bride and I wish both of them much love and happiness in the future ❤❤
They look very uncomfortable with each other..
That's probably because they are not used to public displays of emotion, Carol, bearing in mind too, that travellers don't get to spend time alone together, prior to marriage.
@@ReelLifePhotosit’s also often means they will be leaving their family to live elsewhere for the first time in her life
@Lisalisag2023 Very true! Muslims also have the same system, and I know many who have found this a huge wrench. At Muslim weddings, it's traditional for the bride to start crying her eyes out as she walks out of her wedding reception into the waiting car that will usually be taking her to live with her husband's family, away from her parents! Travellers and Muslims, share many traditions and cultural norms!
Arranged?
@Carol-bm4wj No, Carol. Travellers don't do arranged marriages, here - just Muslims do.
@@ReelLifePhotos Thanks...
🥰
Always hand in pockets. They take them out in the pub. One hand for lifting the pint. The other to hold the cigarettes
So what! We all make different choices in life, which is what makes it interesting. We can't all be the same, can we? I have never smoked in my life, but it isn't helpful to them comparing them to either myself or to yourself.
Now this is a much better ceremony, they were all very respectful and the bride is, of course, gorgeous
Well, maybe it's because I was shooting with only one camera, so unlike the other video you watched, Cheryl, you didn't get to see everything that was happening? You are mainly right though, as far as I can remember. I shoot many weddings where they only want photos, and not videos, which is a pity.
Cos this is how gypsys do it
Of course, Davey!
Yes it was a classier wedding. Of course there was the woman who had so much of her breast exposed for the wedding but the bride & groom had no control over that & the single girls were not dressed as street walker.
@@janetrouse5917 Well said! Some people can be very unkind in their comments, can't they!!
Is it an arranged marriage? Both looked uninterested.
No, travellers don't do arranged marriages. Sometimes, though, they decide to run away together, then they know if they do that, the wedding will follow very quickly.
Ya'll, the brides dad was checking his phone on the front row. Everyone looks miserable about the wedding....but ready for the Reception. 🍻
Well, a long church service ( and I cut out loads!) can be very tiring/ boring, particularly if you are not used to these kinds of formalities!
The way the men stand with their hands in their pockets
Yes, that's how they're used to standing. It's not seen the same way in traveller culture, as it does to you and many other people, so it's fine.
They're hanging onto their wallets
@cazrelda169 Ha ha! Well no, they have their own reasons, but decorating the church so beautifully definitely wasn't cheap!
None of them seem unable to function without a mobile phone in their hands, ridiculous.
That's the way of the world we live in! On trains, buses and everywhere, it's just the same. We are almost all guilty of that!
The bride looked so depressed until she smiled at the end, didn't look like they were in love. Plus the hair I wonder if it's natural cos it looks like it weighs a tonne plus God knows how many cans of hairspray were used
The bride is just that kind of person, so not depressed at all, but super aware of her image. I'm glad you at least found one part where she smiled, though! Travellers don't tend to show public displays of romantic gestures, and have usually had very little time alone together prior to their wedding. As for the hair, the styles are created by talented hairdressers who have plenty of experience of this style, and yes of course they build up the hair with extensions, and often insert a central core, around which the build the added layers. It's a real art! Most of my Muslim clients also style their hair in a similar manner, except that they then cover it loosely with a veil, rather than leaving it all on show.
These are travellers not Gypsy’s and usual they have arranged marriages maybe that’s why they are unhappy!!
No, I've never, ever heard of Travellers having arranged marriages. I wonder where you get that idea from?
@@ReelLifePhotos Ha ha
@@melisaprietoaboitiz7184 What's the joke?
The bride is waaayyy too interested in her dress, her veil, her looks. Groom looks like "have i made a mistake?"
I do so hope you are not right, though yes, maybe she is self-centered, You must have looked pretty closely and are good at picking up signs of character.
He looks happy but she doesn't ?
Oh that's just the way she was during the day, but she relaxed at the reception, so am hopeful for their long term happiness together.
Ye ye
So you are nor convinced?
I would love to see her when she takes off the two pounds of makeup .
Yes, I also never recognise most brides oncd their make-up has been removed, and they are in their normal clothes with their everyday hairstyle. I think that must be the point about dressing up for a wedding, to become your ideal self? Not that that is something I would do, but most seem to aspire to their idea of glamour on their wedding day, don't they?.
@@ReelLifePhotos 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
The mother of the bride looks like she already had acouple of drinks.
Obviously, that's rather funny, as I very much doubt she would have had the time, or inclination to drink! Men get ready quickly, then go to the pub, but women take their time and rarely drink at all until it's all over, if then!
The bride must have a few for Dutch courage, she was swaying while the priest was speaking
No, I very much doubt she had been drinking, as I was with her while she was getting ready.
That’s the prettiest gypsy wedding dress I’ve ever seen! But poor baby, her veil wasn’t comfortable for her. She looked lovely.
@cynthiat6505 Aw thanks, Cynthia! Yes, she was very insecure/ bodyy conscious. There's a lot of pressure on being a bride, isn't there! Have you seen this wedding in this link?ua-cam.com/video/T-_oQKkAjHs/v-deo.html
The groom and his groomsmen have their hands in their pockets and don’t act like they know what’s going on!
They probably don't! (know what they are supposed to be doing), which is not really surprising, as its quite daunting being up in front of a crowd of people, if it's all unfamiliar.
Is she 19 or 45?
I'm guessing you asked that because you felt her styling was too old-fashioned, but actually, these hair and makeup styles are what almost all traveller brides love . Similarly, all my Muslum brides, too!
Probably 16
No, she in her early 20s
The bride and groom stood that far apart in church I'm surprised they could reach each other to put the rings on...Then she sat with the women at the reception playing on her phone, and he was nowhere to be seen. No eye contact, no kiss or hug. It all seemed as though it was a fashion parade rather than a wedding. But your dress was beautiful, and so were you, even though you never smiled. Good luck to you both
Men and women sitting apart is normal at traveller weddings, neither do they kiss or hug in front of their guests, but, like you, I also wish them well.
@@ReelLifePhotos thank you for telling me this 🙂
Aw, just glad I was able to explain a bit! xx
@@ReelLifePhotos but smiling at each other is allowed and they didnt do that either.
I know they didn't smile, but they probably felt too stressed, as its not easy standing up in front of a crowd for an almost two hour, very formal, church ceremony!
That Hair piece looks as if it weighs A ton. Her husband probably won't recognize her when she takes all that off on her wedding night.
Not as heavy as you think! It's only ideally one additional hairpiece, a lightweight infill "bun", and a lot of artistry!
Imagine waking up the morning after your wedding and not recognising the woman lying beside you as your wife 😄
Who is the woman in ORANGE??
Its not my favourite colour, either, but its bright and cheerful, and makes for interesting wedding photos and videos, Patti.
Don’t know who the woman in orange was, other than ridiculous 😂
Ooooh! Miaow!
Do these 2 even know each other ?
Of course, but as they will have never been allowed to be alone together prior to the wedding, it is to be expected. Travellers also don't like public delays of emotion at most weddings I've seen. They never 'do' the traditional kiss in the church, either.
@@ReelLifePhotos thank you. 🫶🏼

She is really pretty but I don't know what to make of the eyelashes😮
I understand @Shungabali. It's not something I personally would wear myself, but know how much brides LOVE to be seen in these huge false eyelashes. It was just for one day, and it made her feel good, so that's all that really matters, isn't it?

It almost looks like an arranged marriage
A few people have said that, but it wasn't. I've never heard of an arranged marriage in the Traveller community either. They are sometimes expected to marry if they've formed a relationship already, though.

Is this an arranged marriage?
No. Travellers don't tend to have arranged marriages, though if a girl runs away with a boy overnight, then yes they know that they will be expected to get married. I don't know though, if that was the case at all here.
They must have stopped having that one designer do all their dresses. These seem pretty understated.
I had to laugh at that, Debs! Thelma Nadine obviously was never the only designer for the whole of the UK's traveller population. The ones I've seen this year have all been with large underskirts and wired all round the hem, so still pretty heavy to wear. Fashions change, anyway, don't they....?
Are those neck lines low enough ??? Waiting for their dresses to fall.🤔😅😅

What kind of make-up is this abi??

No, travellers rarely ever have a first kiss in church. It's because they would previously not have spent time alone together, so they are certainly not going to be up for a public didplay of emotion like that.
I didn't spot that about him.not helping her, though. Well observed!
Ich bin erschrocken über die vielen negativen bis bösen Kommentare 😮 Vielleicht ist es bei den Reisenden so und das sollte man so akzeptieren.

I understand. Many people have made a similar comment, but its how they like it. This style is very popular with travellers and Muslims, so I see it all the time.
Thanks anyway, Sandra.
Everyone keeps sayign the look unhappy. I think they are just shy, especially the bride. They are very traditional in the sense she will be young and has never been alone with her now husband (probably). There were plenty of happy smiles and smirks thogihout the service. I think they all pooked lovely!
That's very perceptive of you Deedee! You understand their traditions well. It's always going to be hard to know how a relationship will develop once the excitement of a wedding day has worn off, something - young Traveller girls in particular -they have dreamed of for as long as they can remember.
The bride is marrying the dress, not sure who the groom is marrying.
I had to laugh at that! Yes, brides can get over-consuned with the while idea of a wedding, particularly if that's all they've dreamed of since they were a child playing with dolls, but as its very true that a wedding doesn't make a marriage!
I wonder if they’ve met previously.
Well, of course they have! They may look shy and not really into the long church ceremony, but they are now definitely husband and wife!
Everyone looks beautiful ✝️🤍🕯

Not sure about the trend with their hair. Guess I’m still in love with how they used to have it.
I was a bit worried about that candle in the church on the floor😮
Aw, how sweet! Thank you, Felicity. Yes, children say exactly what they are thinking, unlike us adults! As for their hairstyles, they are very elaborately crafted, and I reckon they most likely have their basis on styles from.way back in history, though woth the use of modern techniques and material. They are super elegant, in my mind, though I am probably biased, as have seen literally hundreds of similar hairstyles, mainly in Muslim weddings. In fact, travellers often hire Pakistani hairstylist and makeup artists, as they know that they are the experts in these styles! xx

The BRIDE HAS TO SMOKE …. Immediately after ??????????? It’s toooo bizarre for me
It would be bizarre if we didn't know what smokers are like! They always do that!
Yea, the groom even had a smoke WHILE signing the contract! Even I as an atheist am sorry for that priest. He tried his best to give this very sad event a little appearance of joy. Unfortunately no-one cared ...
@ritajaklitsch7559 I had to laugh at the bit where you say that even you, as an Atheist, felt that his smoking (vaping?) in the church was wrong! I'm not sure the priest noticed, as I didn't either, at the time, even though I've caught it on camera!
The bride looked so sad this is not true love..
What is true love? Surely it's more than "butterflies' and endearing looks? Time will tell, but if she's prepared to look after him when he's an old man or vice versa, that, for me, would be a better indicator of "true love"!
It looks like they’re going to a costume party instead of a wedding; not a fan.
Well, this is how Travellers love to dress, so maybe you are just more traditional in your wedding preferences?
@@ReelLifePhotos I just was thinking how beautiful their faces must be underneath.
@rascalgirl84 That's always a good way to think! I never wear makeup myself, but if others like too, whatever style they choose is just their way of self-expression, isn't it?
Where's the love? I saw absolutely NO affection there...especially on the face of the bride. I didn't see her look at the groom one time.
That's actually quite normal in some traveller weddings, as they don't really have a chance to get to know each other that well,since pre-marital relationships are not allowed or even being left alone together. It could also be her personality anyway, as she was more into her mirror image than expected.
They probably barely even know each other! They get their first alone time after they are married! That’s when they start getting to know each other and “hope” love follows, eventually! Plus she is expected to be pregnant soon after the wedding.
@pamcollins1651 Well, almost spot on, though pregnancy is not necessarily expected, it is usually the outcome!
What’s with the music? I’ve been watching the ones from ten years ago and to jump from that to the overwhelming loud music is a shame
Oh, sorry, is the music really that loud? Maybe it's my ears, but I actually use visual levels to check everything too. The simple solution, though, since you are the very first, and only one, to complain about that, is to turn the volume down on your own audio controls.
The Bride and groom don't look at each other while the Priest talks... Are they in an arranged marriage? They don't look as if they are in love... My friend got married and she couldn't stop kissing her groom all during the ceremony ... they were so adorable and so much in love.
I understand your concern. Travellers don't have time to develop that kind of deep relationship as they are not allowed to spend time alone together prior to marriage. They also almost never have a first kiss in public, either! They don't do arranged marriages, but they are sometimes told to get married if they have broken the conduct rules and run away together. I'm glad your friend has such a beautiful relationship, of course, but this couple will hopefully develop that in time. The bride wasn't really a smiley sort of person, anyway!
@@ReelLifePhotos OMG, this is so sad!
@ritajaklitsch7559 They often rush into marriage, but they do form good bonds over time. Yes, several do fail, but then not all marriages are hunky-dory in the wider community either.

Hardly a Smile going on there! You think she doesnt Want get married to whom ever 😢he is?
Well although it may seem rude in certain cultures, it's not seen as an issue at all with Travellers. After all, what do you do with your hands when you are nervously standing in front of so many people, all with their eyes on you? He's young, so not that experienced in life or social expectations.
He's now her husband. Not everyone can be full of smiles, unfortunately. She is just like that.
I love all the bling the bride is gorgeous everyone looks fabulous ❤️ much happiness always ☘️
Aw, yes, they really did go to town on their beautiful outfits and with the church decorations. I think they had decided that the church ceremony was the most important part of their day, as they only had a carvery meal afterwards, rather than a wedding reception with a DJ and dancing.
The little bridesmaids looked adorable, their dresses were gorgeous. The bride’s dress was lovely but unfortunately I feel her natural beauty was diminished by the far too heavy makeup!
@RosemaryHart-mg6kt Hi Rosemary, Thank you for your sweet and sensitively worded comment. Yes, she was wearing very heavy makeup, which is obviously not a natural look, but Travellers really go for this particular style. They almost always choose a makeup artist who specialises in this art. If you've ever been to a Muslim wedding, you'll spot the similarities as they, too, wear the heavy foundation and over emphasised eyebrows. Similarly, the hairstyles follow this same "fashion". Really and truly, very few young ladies actually "need" to wear makeup at all, but it's a multi-million pound /dollar industry, which is unlikely to change, so as most people follow what others in their cultural group do, this look is followed by by this bride too.
Are they not allowed to look at one another even when they say their vowels I watch the ice guy never smiled. She looks like she doesn’t want to be there, but I bet he’s got money and that’s why she’s marrying the guy. At the reception she’s with the girls and so far I don’t even see where the groom is there. She sits checking her emails. That definitely wasn’t a marriage of love.
Yes, of course they can look at each other, but in general, travellers haven't had time to build that kind of relationship before getting married. They would not have been allowed to be alone together beforehand, you see. If they do attempt to run away together to be alone, they are then expected to marry. Travellers have a very strict moral code regarding relationships.
It's also a tradition for the guys to sit separately from the girls at the reception, and more females than males attend anyway. I think she was looking at her social media, rather than emails, though, and traveller girls do tend to upload loads of pics of themselves so she would have also wanted to see ones others had posted of her too.
They have very strict rules for the girls, men no touch till wedding.
Exactly, Finanzen, which is why they tend to marry young. They share many codes and wedding styles with Muslims too; the hair and makeup styles,
for example, as well as the moral code and being family orientated.
@brendabruce1474 Why do you say that, Brenda, and what does it really matter, anyway?
@brendabruce1474 Yes, you are absolutely correct there, Brenda! Well said! Thanks! xx
They should've looked at each other saying their vows
Well, yes, it would have been nice, but they were very stressed out, and totally focused on what the marriage celebrant was saying.
She keeps pushing the bodice of the gown up, touching her hair and she put his ring on the wrong finger! She put it on his right hand.
Yes, any bride in a strapless dress has a similar kind of problem.They really aren't that comfortable to wear, and there's always the worry that they will slip and expose too much of her body..if asked before a dress is chosen, I always suggest avoiding them!
She was quite a nervous and self-conscious bride, so it's not surprising that she felt insecure and made that mistake, though.
The bride doesn’t look happy
Lots of people keep saying that, but she was fine afterwards. I think she was just stressed out with all the arrangements. She might also not be a smiley sort of person. Weddings put a lot of pressure on brides, as everyone is looking at them, and in any case, travellers will not have previously spent time alone with their fiancé.
