Is anyone else watching this? Where do these gypsies get this kind of money for these humongous weddings?

Stock- I thought the same thing! Also, I couldn't believe the girls were getting married at 16 and how provocatively they danced and dressed! I felt sorry for the little boy watching the trailor being torn down. Those communion dresses made them look like giant puff balls with their little faces peeking through. They got over 2 million viewers (which is more than twice the audience that Khate Gosselin got!)

It was interesting. Although half of what that dude in the wifebeater was saying I couldn't even understand.

Is it our version you are watching there (The UK one?) or your own version?

I don't think we actually have gypsies, so I'm guessing it's the UK version.

There are gypsies in the US and an off shoot of that group are the "gyspy psychics"

Oh OK
Me and my other haf watched this in the UK when it was on and we could not stop laughing the whole way through.

The best bits are when they say 'The husband did not want to be identified on this show as he feels it may hurt his business'

Translation
He's a criminal and wanted by the police lol

AWW it's noo sew bad as ale thet!

Yonks ago the Travellers( Irish, Scottish and the tru Rom), had a variety of skills, metal working, ( freq as tinkers) dog breeding,horse breeding /training and those ancillory but very lucaritive side bars to that; thieving of dogs and horses. Some are still involved w horses( racing trainers) but as horse as a mode of transport fell out of fashion, horsepower aka cars became more popular. Esp to steal and that is were a lot o the money comes in this comunity- what isn't used one way can always be sold for scrap! A very interesting community/race.
