@@guccigirl2389 I think they just mean that he will have a lot of girls after him and he won't go after them. He will stick with one person. I say my blond curly blue eyed boy who is 9 is going to be a heartbreaker when he gets old enough to date because he already is a good looking young man (don't mean that in a wrong way we have just been told he could be a model if we wanted him to be but we just want him to be himself and have a normal childhood)
This is what happens when the value of a young woman is placed strictly on her innocence. Instead off screwing up and having her first kiss with the wrong boy at 14 she screws up her entire future by marrying the first boy she has feelings for at 14. Then she's damaged goods no man will want in the future unless she ventures out and meets a gorger. And then that makes her even more of an outcast and gets her shunned. It's disgusting.
Indeed, a woman's worth is summed up entirely by the state of her hymen (which we now know isn't a good indicator of virginity anyway). They're not encouraged to aspire to anything other than being a wife and mother. I'm not knocking motherhood. It's the lack of choice I'm talking about.
Then she’s better off, isn’t she? She’s leaving that sort of culture and joining the rest of the normal world where 99% of people don’t care if you’re a traveller.
I thought these people seemed incredibly honest and forthright. I think their culture is antiquated but I respect how honest and open they are. They were also all very beautiful, not that it's important.
I tutored a teenage irish traveller girl while I was at uni, her parents wanted her to get the best education possible and I really admired them for that. It was a shame to hear a 14 year old tell me all about all the parties and underage drinking she partook in to find her 'perfect future husband'.

Reputation is everything in our community, and *everyone's* reputation is important - just in different ways. It's certainly true that girls are the only ones expected to be a virgin on their wedding day, but boys are expected to provide a home on that wedding day that's ready to move into, be able to earn a living, and look after a girl correctly. It might seem strange or old fashioned to outsiders, but that's how our community works. Every Traveller is under pressure to maintain a good reputation - otherwise our close communities wouldn't work, because there would be no trust. The reputation requirements are based on the traditional ways (men were the breadwinners, women looked after the family) but, these days, we have far more choice than these programmes would have you believe. I'm a female Traveller with a master's degree and a job, but according to the TV, I should have left school at 13, got married at 16, and now be a grandmother. These shows offer a very distorted view of the reality for Travellers.
@@eileentheresaward9196 your tradition is the reason you're in that disgusting situation. I will judge something that is morally wrong and sexist. Just because it's tradition doesn't make it okay.
Ooof. It's so sad to see. You can tell these poor women have a hard life getting pushed into marriage, childbirth and domestic slavery so young. By the time they're 30, they look 50. Her mom didn't want that for her. It's heartbreaking.
Yep but to the daughter... she just thinks that sex is being witheld. Not realizing that its not sex and marriage that makes you an adult. Its your mentality💝
@@beanybabyrabie do you understand the difference between a home maker and the way these women are forced to live by their abusive husbands? it's domestic slavery with a twinge of financial abuse and a lack of education making it impossible to escape. that will age someone far faster than working an office job for 40 yrs
When I first saw this clip in like ~2011 or whatever, I was like “aw. Moms will be moms” i but now that I have kids my heart broke for that mom breaking down in tears. Knowing that she wanted a better life for her daughter but now she’s just going to be repeating the cycle
Bruh I'm 32 with a 5 year old son, and I STILL panic when I lose my mom at the supermarket too 😂 she always comes to the supermarket with my son and I, we love going together
What if her now husband had decided he didn’t want to go through with the marriage after they’d run away? That’s a huge risk to take just to get married a year earlier
Seen such a case before in a documentary. The fathers argued that each others kid ruined the other family's reputation. The girl's father basically ask for compensation from the guy's family in case her innocence was taken. Was in tens of thousands. They finally settled on agreeing to let them marry and for the boy's family to pay for the wedding. Had the boy not wanted to after the run away, there would have definitely been a hefty amount paid.
I have enormous respect for this mother's instincts. She's 100% devoted and committed to her kids - unlike so many, who can't wait for their kids to turn 18 so they can get rid of them.
Her poor mam 😥 If only her daughter had the wisdom her mother has. She wanted her daughter to have a life first. She’s a beautiful girl and I hope married life is good to her
My granny always used to tell me when I did something impulsive " you can't put an old head on young shoulders". I married young too. 20 years later were still happy, hopefully this couple are too.
It’s good to hear the Bride’s younger sister’s opinions on marriage.Maybe the younger generation of Irish traveler’s will change some of the traditions on marriage.
When the mother was dancing with her at the wedding and told her she'll always be there for her, I immediately thought she was letting the daughter know it's ok to leave the husband and she'll have her full support.
@@joannamamczura5994 no actually you don't have to respect a practise thats bad just because it's cultural. some people beat their children or abuse them or deny them education because of culture. it's not to be respected.

Welcome to motherhood 😑 sometimes you recognise your child is going to do what they want to do regardless of what you think and you have no choice but to support them even if you know how it will end
Little sister will be a force to be reckoned with, she already is sensible. My heart went out to her mum, she was clearly hurt upset and conflicted. I hope things have worked out for the couple
It's so sad she thinks her life will be defined by the "shame" of spending the night with a boy. Life is bigger than what your family or community thinks and even bigger than the marriage you are in (for now). So sad.
I think this is the 1st wedding dress that I've seen on here that isn't tacky. And her mom is the 1st gypsy mom that isn't trashy, has all of her teeth, and doesn't look like she's a walking opiate epidemic. Her momma actually seemed like she had some class.
This is so racially insensitive lmao “ur the first gypsy I’ve seen that isn’t trashy and has teeth” the Romani people ain’t deserve this. Leave their gaudy beautiful culture be.
Her marriage is definitely going to be a journey, but I wish the couple well. At least they have a solid family on their side! But her little sister, that girl has the right idea. Don't do things for people unless they'd do it for you too. I hope that little girl remembered that ❤
@@stephanieyee9784 I think divorce is definitely frowned on and considered to be a "sin", but it does happen in the community. Typically though, there must be infidelity and/or domestic abuse to "qualify" for a divorce in Traveler and Gypsy communities.
Her mom's face when the bride to be tried on that bridal dress, that would be my look if my daughter wants to be married at 17. The bride will understand that when she has a daughter and I hope that will not be too late for her to realize that.
This continues because people don't change their mentality on marriage this isn't tradition...tradition is breaking the plate on your wedding day in your culture or eating a specific food. This is damaging to young women to think marriage is the ideal goal when your in your teens because everyone else is married at 17. Yes it works for some but not for many. They have no education to fall back on no work experience and their frontal lobe isn't even developed to decide right from wrong. You would think after the mistakes of their mothers they would understand. Most of these marriages happen because the guys Wana have sex and the only way that can happen is marriage the girls have a fairy tale mindset of marriage and fall for it and for those couple of minutes it's not worth a lifetime of regret.
I will be eternally grateful for being impressed more by the difficulties of even great, loving marriages than the delights of weddings. The tenor of my childhood was "marriage is lot of work with, eventually, great rewards" and "choose wisely". Been married a few years and I'm often amazed at how delightful it is.
I got married a month after I turned 20 and divorced when I was 27 which wound up being a few years too long in that relationship. I pride myself on being sensitive to other cultures and I admire a lot about travellers, but I believe this young girl should have listened to her mother. A year to wait for a lifetime of marriage is not much. The way she went about manipulating the situation shows her immaturity. I wish her the best though.
I got married at 18 and am still married but I knew what I was getting into and was far more mature than most people my age now (I'm well into my 30's) I also knew I was never having children and going to get my uni degree no matter what anyone said. Today both of us have excellent careers. We both left religion behind for the betterment of our mental health. Dual income no kids, no debts, etc works. But you have to know who you are and what you want and most young people don't. Hell even most 30 year olds don't know what they want today.
The fact literal children get married and are seen as sexual objects in the name of 'tradition', 'religion' or 'culture' is absolutely beyond me..how is it accepted in this day and age without government or police interference. We really are letting our children down.
The way the little boy automatically replied when questioned about it: “I don’t know nothing about it.” Like it was rehearsed? I feel like he knew. There’s no way he didn’t know anything, not even after the fact.
There is truly so much going on this that is based in misogyny and so messed up I don’t even know where to begin. My heart goes out to the mother struggling within because of the belief system she has been raised and trapped in clashes with her image wisdom and knowledge that is a mother this is not right.
Bless her, I feel for the mother too she just wanted a different life for her little girl and not to get married straight away. She looks beautiful though, and I like the dress in comparison to the usual traveller dresses. I hope it all works out for her
I ran away with a boyfriend when I was as a teenager and my mom couldn’t find me, when I came back I was pregnant and still “in love” so she helped us marry, obviously it didn’t work out and 3 years later I came back home. Didn’t leave again until I was 29 to get married again, I will never forgive myself for the pain I put her though.
It basically was a bloody tantrum that costs her , her last years childhood …and the mom knows it , that’s why she heartbroken , poor woman. The girl knew the rules and the consequences…I hope she SUPER proud of the results and love her new life as housekeeper/ housewife , because getting married isn’t like wanting a new phone lol
I'm sorry to break it to you, yet childhood ends when puberty starts, this time of life is called adolescence and with 18 you're an adult, no matter how much you want to crawl back into your mother's womb - also being the housewife/housekeeper is also traveler tradition + I'm of the impression, that there wouldn't have been much of a career out there for her, she seems not to be the sharpest tool in the shed
@@lilithiaabendstern6303 Even if she’s dumb she could still work low-intelligence jobs like food or retail, but I get what you mean. It’s a sad situation, but disregarding the cultural aspect, some people don’t really have a choice and marriage is the only thing that can provide some level of safety/security because they can’t make it on their own for whatever reason. She’ll be screwed if hubby dies, abandons her, or divorces her though.
@@lilithiaabendstern6303 childhood ends legally in most countries when you’re 18, biologically and scientifically however it ends closer to 25. Yknow since the body goes through a second developmental phase even after puberty and the brain is still developing
Y’all are all monsters talking about this young girl this way. Teenagers make mistakes and screw ups that’s why they need PARENTS. A fourteen year old shouldn’t be sold off into marriage with a guy who looks MUCH older than her, just because she ran off, and/or was taken advantage of. Virginity is a construct, and now this young girl will suffer her whole life because of it.
Mom knows that she is not only too young, but that the "man" she is marrying is not likely to take care of her daughter the way a husband should. I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would be to see my daughter or sons marrying the wrong person. 💔
For once decent parents that don't want to pressure their teen daughters to marriage, no parties for pre-teens to find a fiance no ”you are already sixteen we must find you a groom (like 15 years older than you), no ” her feet touches the floor when she sits so she is ready to marry” and other jewels I heard in this show. Sadly this girl was not able to appreciate it, now I hope it works and she is happy with her choice... even if she already regrets it after the ceremony. I don't get it... Gladly her little sister seems to know very well what she wants and most importantly what she doesn't.
When the girl came out the door with the big dress and the little kid goes “imagine trying to dance with these , it’s like shifting a wardrobe” LMFAO💀💀
5:07 those are the tears of a mother who knows she can't always be there to protect her daughter, heart breaking she knows her daughter choose to soon ❤
@@shellcharles3633 there is non alcoholic sparkling champagne. It's made by Welches juice company. I know because we used to get it for new years Eve and drink it once it hit midnight. We also would drink it on Christmas day. My parents never drank as they didn't believe in it
So unfair getting married With your teen boyfriend Just for experiencing your sexuality its just human nature ! I cant imagine being married to my highschool love 👎🏻
I agree with you. Had I married my first boyfriend, the guy I dated at 17, I'd be in a miserably abusive marriage with a clinically diagnosed Narcissist. God, just thinking about it makes me shiver. I'd be a shell of who I am today. At 17, I thought it was love and that he was the best there was. Over time I learned so much more about actual love, respect, and who I am as a person. So many of these girls end up in abusive marriages. It's not just the culture. Honestly, I believe striving and seeking love/marriage (this firmly and devoutly) at such a young age usually signifies an underlying problem. Normally low self esteem, loneliness, or a lack of security/love at home. They believe finding "the one" and getting married will be the end of their insecurities and desires. Unfortunately, that's very rarely, if ever, the case. Always seems like they (just like I did at 16&17) have their standards determined by their own self worth. If you don't love yourself or have a high opinion of your worth, it's so easy to find someone that'll treat you exactly the way you treat you... And that's a heartbreaking thing. You don't even realize it.
I'm blessed to be married to my high school sweetheart. But we both went through marriages to other people before we got back together and finally got married.
I blame the culture and pressing these girls so young,they cant work go to school stuck in a caravan they children looking to escape. Then to marry a adolescent who still wants to party and drink and smack and control his wife.
@@requiemforadream4430 it’s a pretty well established fact that the majority of the traveler community is steeped in domestic abuse and child abuse. Not all families but a LOT of families
I wonder how these girls feel when the marriage doesn’t work out? 🤔 Like, imagine waiting your whole life to get married and have a special day, but you find out the man you married isn’t comparable with you, cheats on you, or even abuses you, and you’re trapped because you don’t have a job or good education to fall back on. Even if the guy dies, the wife is screwed. I know this is how it was done in the olden days, but the part that’s often left out is how women struggled in these types of arrangements. It’s just so sad to think about.
They're brainwashed from birth to think dropping out of school, getting married as a teenager, and spending the rest of their lives barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen is the only thing they're good for.
The little sister is iconic 😂 I wouldn’t be so against the idea of getting married young (AFTER 18) if it wasn’t something these girls are groomed into from a young age. Ages birth to 18 should be for enjoying everything childhood has to offer and being protected by the adults around you but these girls don’t get that. It’s as bad as physical child abuse in my opinion!
That mom seems so torn. She knows her daughter isn’t making the best decision. But when she told her no she ran away. Being a parent to a teen seems like the hardest thing.
If her parents really cared about her well being they wouldn't have allowed her to get married even after running away. That could've been a turning point in their family where they realized that she wasn't "ruined" just because she spent a night with a boy, but instead they sent their daughter off as a child bride. Disgusting.
I met my future husband at junior school and we were friends his family moved away for a while then moved back. We started dating at 19 married at 23. I loved him when I was 9, and I still love him at almost 60. I hope this young couple have a happy life together 😌
I'm glad it did ❤️ for some young couples, it's a wonderful love story. My sibling got married young to a HS sweetheart & they are doing great a decade later. Unfortunately, it tends to be rare & I think it would be better to not expect all young people to marry for life. If the pressure to marry isn't there, it seems to work out more.
Eww the attitudes of the little boys is just disturbing but what’s even more disturbing is that their maturity level stops at about that age and it’s not only normal but encouraged 😳😬🙄

Elizabeth is a young woman with her head screwed on. I hope she sticks to her guns and doesn't feel she Has to marring the future. Perhaps she'll finish school, go to College and have a career? That would be great.
The little brother is a future heart breaker! The little sister has spunk, “you just cook, clean, and pet him, I want someone to do that for me.”
That little brother's a riot!!! I laughed so hard when he said, "It's much like moving a wardrobe "...about the dresses
Her sister is a wise young lady hopefully she still has that mindset now
How is being a heart breaker a good thing
@@guccigirl2389 I think they just mean that he will have a lot of girls after him and he won't go after them. He will stick with one person. I say my blond curly blue eyed boy who is 9 is going to be a heartbreaker when he gets old enough to date because he already is a good looking young man (don't mean that in a wrong way we have just been told he could be a model if we wanted him to be but we just want him to be himself and have a normal childhood)
@@jsrcamp thats so cute, your a rlly good mom for giving him the childhood he deserves
This is what happens when the value of a young woman is placed strictly on her innocence. Instead off screwing up and having her first kiss with the wrong boy at 14 she screws up her entire future by marrying the first boy she has feelings for at 14. Then she's damaged goods no man will want in the future unless she ventures out and meets a gorger. And then that makes her even more of an outcast and gets her shunned. It's disgusting.
14? I thought she was 17?
@@divahc1 I think that was just an example
Indeed, a woman's worth is summed up entirely by the state of her hymen (which we now know isn't a good indicator of virginity anyway). They're not encouraged to aspire to anything other than being a wife and mother. I'm not knocking motherhood. It's the lack of choice I'm talking about.
💯
Then she’s better off, isn’t she? She’s leaving that sort of culture and joining the rest of the normal world where 99% of people don’t care if you’re a traveller.
It’s interesting to see a gypsy family being honest about their feelings and showing the hurt of their actual children “playing adult”.
I thought these people seemed incredibly honest and forthright. I think their culture is antiquated but I respect how honest and open they are. They were also all very beautiful, not that it's important.
I tutored a teenage irish traveller girl while I was at uni, her parents wanted her to get the best education possible and I really admired them for that. It was a shame to hear a 14 year old tell me all about all the parties and underage drinking she partook in to find her 'perfect future husband'.
What a loving mom.. I pray that every child be blessed with a mother that loving and supportive

The moms reaction when the camera man asked if she’s gonna be happy seeing her daughter walking down the isle. So heartbreaking 💔
Just shows how the only thing these parents care about is their daughter's reputation. Sons presumably have no reputation to lose.
Well no the men as to go to work cuz if not there clased as lazy no goods
Reputation is everything in our community, and *everyone's* reputation is important - just in different ways.
It's certainly true that girls are the only ones expected to be a virgin on their wedding day, but boys are expected to provide a home on that wedding day that's ready to move into, be able to earn a living, and look after a girl correctly.
It might seem strange or old fashioned to outsiders, but that's how our community works. Every Traveller is under pressure to maintain a good reputation - otherwise our close communities wouldn't work, because there would be no trust.
The reputation requirements are based on the traditional ways (men were the breadwinners, women looked after the family) but, these days, we have far more choice than these programmes would have you believe. I'm a female Traveller with a master's degree and a job, but according to the TV, I should have left school at 13, got married at 16, and now be a grandmother.
These shows offer a very distorted view of the reality for Travellers.
Well to be fair, he gets to be married too (as a consequence for running away)! At least that part’s “fair”

Ooof. It's so sad to see. You can tell these poor women have a hard life getting pushed into marriage, childbirth and domestic slavery so young. By the time they're 30, they look 50. Her mom didn't want that for her. It's heartbreaking.
Yep but to the daughter... she just thinks that sex is being witheld. Not realizing that its not sex and marriage that makes you an adult. Its your mentality💝
The mum wanted her daughter to have a different life, dad too as although I didn't see him in this video he must have felt the same
Oh yes, serving a husband and children and her home will age her far more than a career in society LMAO
Do you hear yourself
@@beanybabyrabieIt will. It does. Fortunately fewer are living this way now.
@@beanybabyrabie do you understand the difference between a home maker and the way these women are forced to live by their abusive husbands? it's domestic slavery with a twinge of financial abuse and a lack of education making it impossible to escape. that will age someone far faster than working an office job for 40 yrs
When I first saw this clip in like ~2011 or whatever, I was like “aw. Moms will be moms” i but now that I have kids my heart broke for that mom breaking down in tears. Knowing that she wanted a better life for her daughter but now she’s just going to be repeating the cycle
bruh my brother is 17 and he still panics when he loses my mom at the grocery store💀
😭😭😭 I'm 25 and this is me too 🤣😖
i’m 20 and i can’t imagine NOT panicking as long as i live 💀
I’m nearly 39 and I don’t like the fact that I have to go to the grocery store without my mum, I really don’t like those places!! 😂
Bruh I'm 32 with a 5 year old son, and I STILL panic when I lose my mom at the supermarket too 😂 she always comes to the supermarket with my son and I, we love going together
What if her now husband had decided he didn’t want to go through with the marriage after they’d run away? That’s a huge risk to take just to get married a year earlier
Seen such a case before in a documentary. The fathers argued that each others kid ruined the other family's reputation. The girl's father basically ask for compensation from the guy's family in case her innocence was taken. Was in tens of thousands. They finally settled on agreeing to let them marry and for the boy's family to pay for the wedding. Had the boy not wanted to after the run away, there would have definitely been a hefty amount paid.
I have enormous respect for this mother's instincts. She's 100% devoted and committed to her kids - unlike so many, who can't wait for their kids to turn 18 so they can get rid of them.
Her poor mam 😥 If only her daughter had the wisdom her mother has. She wanted her daughter to have a life first. She’s a beautiful girl and I hope married life is good to her
My granny always used to tell me when I did something impulsive " you can't put an old head on young shoulders". I married young too. 20 years later were still happy, hopefully this couple are too.
@@pk6810 that’s a quote
It’s good to hear the Bride’s younger sister’s opinions on marriage.Maybe the younger generation of Irish traveler’s will change some of the traditions on marriage.
More likely that travellers with similar opinions to the young girl will be worn down into conformance or ostracized.
She's got the tamest wedding dress for a gypsy. Especially on this show
It’s a rush wedding. No time for the fancy dress.
@@nikig2891 looking at the female guests‘ dresses and styling my first thought was „They watched too much Pretty Woman…“

Interview her in 5 years, when the puppy-love has worn off and her husband has cheated on her for the 12th time....
When the mother was dancing with her at the wedding and told her she'll always be there for her, I immediately thought she was letting the daughter know it's ok to leave the husband and she'll have her full support.
And have 8 kids
Well i don't think this is right but this is there culture i everyone need to respect that

@@mamacass8970 you can re-curl a ribbon, you just need to apply lighter pressure on the the second stroke. Although, some ribbons do go bleh instead of re-curling lol. Stinkin ribbon.
It's so sweet her mom supported her in everything and said how proud she was. Even though she did not like it.
Welcome to motherhood 😑 sometimes you recognise your child is going to do what they want to do regardless of what you think and you have no choice but to support them even if you know how it will end
That’s motherhood for you
“You have to cook, clean, pet him to death - that ain’t working for me” 🤣
5:50 So proud of her for being so young yet still not allowing her surroundings to brainwash her into being blindly submissive to a man
When a mother thinks they have one precious year left with their daughter, and to to have that snatched away must be devastating and traumatic
Little sister will be a force to be reckoned with, she already is sensible. My heart went out to her mum, she was clearly hurt upset and conflicted. I hope things have worked out for the couple
I cried when the mom cried . Her heart was broken . You know she didn't want this for her daughter .
It's so sad she thinks her life will be defined by the "shame" of spending the night with a boy. Life is bigger than what your family or community thinks and even bigger than the marriage you are in (for now). So sad.
I think this is the 1st wedding dress that I've seen on here that isn't tacky. And her mom is the 1st gypsy mom that isn't trashy, has all of her teeth, and doesn't look like she's a walking opiate epidemic. Her momma actually seemed like she had some class.

Her mom's face when the bride to be tried on that bridal dress, that would be my look if my daughter wants to be married at 17. The bride will understand that when she has a daughter and I hope that will not be too late for her to realize that.
This continues because people don't change their mentality on marriage this isn't tradition...tradition is breaking the plate on your wedding day in your culture or eating a specific food. This is damaging to young women to think marriage is the ideal goal when your in your teens because everyone else is married at 17. Yes it works for some but not for many. They have no education to fall back on no work experience and their frontal lobe isn't even developed to decide right from wrong. You would think after the mistakes of their mothers they would understand. Most of these marriages happen because the guys Wana have sex and the only way that can happen is marriage the girls have a fairy tale mindset of marriage and fall for it and for those couple of minutes it's not worth a lifetime of regret.
Not to mention that just because something is "tradition", that doesn't mean you have to keep doing it! Plain and simple.
@@jenniferk782 exactly!
Yea my thoughts exactly
Back in the day family we’d they daughter early because of poverty, less mouth to feed and be responsible for
I will be eternally grateful for being impressed more by the difficulties of even great, loving marriages than the delights of weddings. The tenor of my childhood was "marriage is lot of work with, eventually, great rewards" and "choose wisely".
Been married a few years and I'm often amazed at how delightful it is.
Her Mother crying spoke VOLUMES!!! You can tell she got married young and has lived to regret it, thus she wants better for her daughter!!!
The fact that they're blurring his face and not his bum (at the bowling) is just 🤦♀️
She should be shopping for a prom dress, not a wedding one...Poor mom..
I got married a month after I turned 20 and divorced when I was 27 which wound up being a few years too long in that relationship. I pride myself on being sensitive to other cultures and I admire a lot about travellers, but I believe this young girl should have listened to her mother. A year to wait for a lifetime of marriage is not much. The way she went about manipulating the situation shows her immaturity. I wish her the best though.
I got married at 18 and am still married but I knew what I was getting into and was far more mature than most people my age now (I'm well into my 30's) I also knew I was never having children and going to get my uni degree no matter what anyone said. Today both of us have excellent careers. We both left religion behind for the betterment of our mental health. Dual income no kids, no debts, etc works. But you have to know who you are and what you want and most young people don't. Hell even most 30 year olds don't know what they want today.
That little brother knows code lol they asked him (why she run away) and he answered ( I don't know nothing about it) lol that's loyalty
Her mom is so heartbroken 🥺! But still very supportive!
The fact literal children get married and are seen as sexual objects in the name of 'tradition', 'religion' or 'culture' is absolutely beyond me..how is it accepted in this day and age without government or police interference. We really are letting our children down.
Roseanne has the most GORGEOUS hair! I'm jealous.
Dancing with these girls is like dancing with a wardrobe, so cheeky love it.
The way the little boy automatically replied when questioned about it: “I don’t know nothing about it.” Like it was rehearsed? I feel like he knew. There’s no way he didn’t know anything, not even after the fact.
You lost me at the fiance does not want to be identified 🤦🏼
There is truly so much going on this that is based in misogyny and so messed up I don’t even know where to begin.
My heart goes out to the mother struggling within because of the belief system she has been raised and trapped in clashes with her image wisdom and knowledge that is a mother this is not right.
Misogyny? She is marrying a teenage too
Bless her, I feel for the mother too she just wanted a different life for her little girl and not to get married straight away.
She looks beautiful though, and I like the dress in comparison to the usual traveller dresses. I hope it all works out for her
Her little sister is a whole mood 😂
I ran away with a boyfriend when I was as a teenager and my mom couldn’t find me, when I came back I was pregnant and still “in love” so she helped us marry, obviously it didn’t work out and 3 years later I came back home. Didn’t leave again until I was 29 to get married again, I will never forgive myself for the pain I put her though.
Don’t be so hard on yourself love ❤️
It basically was a bloody tantrum that costs her , her last years childhood …and the mom knows it , that’s why she heartbroken , poor woman.
The girl knew the rules and the consequences…I hope she SUPER proud of the results and love her new life as housekeeper/ housewife , because getting married isn’t like wanting a new phone lol
I'm sorry to break it to you, yet childhood ends when puberty starts, this time of life is called adolescence and with 18 you're an adult, no matter how much you want to crawl back into your mother's womb - also being the housewife/housekeeper is also traveler tradition + I'm of the impression, that there wouldn't have been much of a career out there for her, she seems not to be the sharpest tool in the shed
@@lilithiaabendstern6303 Even if she’s dumb she could still work low-intelligence jobs like food or retail, but I get what you mean. It’s a sad situation, but disregarding the cultural aspect, some people don’t really have a choice and marriage is the only thing that can provide some level of safety/security because they can’t make it on their own for whatever reason. She’ll be screwed if hubby dies, abandons her, or divorces her though.
@@lilithiaabendstern6303 childhood ends legally in most countries when you’re 18, biologically and scientifically however it ends closer to 25. Yknow since the body goes through a second developmental phase even after puberty and the brain is still developing
Y’all are all monsters talking about this young girl this way. Teenagers make mistakes and screw ups that’s why they need PARENTS. A fourteen year old shouldn’t be sold off into marriage with a guy who looks MUCH older than her, just because she ran off, and/or was taken advantage of. Virginity is a construct, and now this young girl will suffer her whole life because of it.
@@lilithiaabendstern6303sharp tools require sharpening and education is denied the to vast majority of travellers. They are medieval.
I love her wedding dress and her mother is so torn 😫 😩 😭 😢 💔 but she's too young to fully understand what her mom is struggling with
Her mom is one of the most decent mom’s ever seen in gypsys I guess
The momma looked so stressed 😭 kids are a lot to handle
Mom knows that she is not only too young, but that the "man" she is marrying is not likely to take care of her daughter the way a husband should. I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would be to see my daughter or sons marrying the wrong person. 💔
For once decent parents that don't want to pressure their teen daughters to marriage, no parties for pre-teens to find a fiance no ”you are already sixteen we must find you a groom (like 15 years older than you), no ” her feet touches the floor when she sits so she is ready to marry” and other jewels I heard in this show. Sadly this girl was not able to appreciate it, now I hope it works and she is happy with her choice... even if she already regrets it after the ceremony. I don't get it...
Gladly her little sister seems to know very well what she wants and most importantly what she doesn't.
When the girl came out the door with the big dress and the little kid goes “imagine trying to dance with these , it’s like shifting a wardrobe” LMFAO💀💀
“I think I’ve cried out all me tears” how heartbreaking. I’ve only seen my mother cry twice before and it was the most devastating thing to witness.

So unfair getting married With your teen boyfriend Just for experiencing your sexuality its just human nature !
I cant imagine being married to my highschool love 👎🏻
For God's sake let people live geez you not her mother Karen 🙄
@@annarogers8545 No pedí tu opinión esperancita 😉
I agree with you. Had I married my first boyfriend, the guy I dated at 17, I'd be in a miserably abusive marriage with a clinically diagnosed Narcissist. God, just thinking about it makes me shiver. I'd be a shell of who I am today.
At 17, I thought it was love and that he was the best there was.
Over time I learned so much more about actual love, respect, and who I am as a person.
So many of these girls end up in abusive marriages. It's not just the culture. Honestly, I believe striving and seeking love/marriage (this firmly and devoutly) at such a young age usually signifies an underlying problem. Normally low self esteem, loneliness, or a lack of security/love at home.
They believe finding "the one" and getting married will be the end of their insecurities and desires. Unfortunately, that's very rarely, if ever, the case.
Always seems like they (just like I did at 16&17) have their standards determined by their own self worth. If you don't love yourself or have a high opinion of your worth, it's so easy to find someone that'll treat you exactly the way you treat you... And that's a heartbreaking thing. You don't even realize it.
I'm blessed to be married to my high school sweetheart. But we both went through marriages to other people before we got back together and finally got married.
Ikr what a nightmare
I blame the culture and pressing these girls so young,they cant work go to school stuck in a caravan they children looking to escape.
Then to marry a adolescent who still wants to party and drink and smack and control his wife.
How about you worry for your own culture and let others do what they want.

Ikr like as if that's all life has to offer wow a huge L tbh
I wonder how these girls feel when the marriage doesn’t work out? 🤔 Like, imagine waiting your whole life to get married and have a special day, but you find out the man you married isn’t comparable with you, cheats on you, or even abuses you, and you’re trapped because you don’t have a job or good education to fall back on. Even if the guy dies, the wife is screwed. I know this is how it was done in the olden days, but the part that’s often left out is how women struggled in these types of arrangements. It’s just so sad to think about.
They're brainwashed from birth to think dropping out of school, getting married as a teenager, and spending the rest of their lives barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen is the only thing they're good for.
The mother looks miserable. Perhaps her life has been horrible and doesnt want that for her daughter?
The little sister is iconic 😂 I wouldn’t be so against the idea of getting married young (AFTER 18) if it wasn’t something these girls are groomed into from a young age. Ages birth to 18 should be for enjoying everything childhood has to offer and being protected by the adults around you but these girls don’t get that. It’s as bad as physical child abuse in my opinion!
Seeing the mom heart broken almost made me cry. I never want to make my mom cry like that or disappoint her
When you’re bored out of your mind, what else to do but get married?! Poor kid didn’t stand a chance of avoiding this situation.
That mom seems so torn. She knows her daughter isn’t making the best decision. But when she told her no she ran away. Being a parent to a teen seems like the hardest thing.
Roseanne has beautiful hair♡
If her parents really cared about her well being they wouldn't have allowed her to get married even after running away. That could've been a turning point in their family where they realized that she wasn't "ruined" just because she spent a night with a boy, but instead they sent their daughter off as a child bride. Disgusting.
"imagine tryna dance in these, like shifting a wardrobe" best thing i heard 🤣
The sister is the main character
‘Like shifting a wardrobe’ 😭😂

Her parents did not want her marry young 👍. Looks like the most sensible gypsy parents
This was actually a relief to watch. Seeing parents that want her to be educated and live life first.
So what about the boy? He has no reputation? Mom is sad about the whole thing. 17 and a life of servitude. 🤮
Love that the sound cuts out so you can’t hear why she’s upset
He can blur his face out all he wants, it doesn't hide the fact that he is waaaaaay too old for her.
Her hair is absolutely beautiful! She looks stunning ❤️
The notion that the child has to get married to save the reputation of the family speaks volumes about the repress culture of travelers.
I like the little sister. I hope she gets to go to college or trade school.
Her parents didn't want her older sister to marry young so I'm guessing she may well have those opportunities
