The young blonde girl Cheyenne didn't look, or sound anything like a Traveller. I did find the whole grabbing thing a bit scary TBH - it was borderline sexual/mental abuse. Even scarier is that they leave school at 11 ...

Throught the Groom though was sound enough - seemed to have a good personality about him, not your stereotypical (Maybe over stereotyped) Traveller.

That's not the girl that was in the show that was aired the other day. She's probably be on one of the next episodes.

Then he said 'Indians'

The whole "grabbing" thing was really disturbing. That poor girl was visibly upset and she had to go ah well it's just the way. Absolutely horrible, I know what I would have done to any little sh1te who tried that with me.

goat2 · 20-01-2011 11:19PM

they spare no expense on the preperations for the weddings, i watched it, did they say the price of that bridal dress and the bridesmaids dresses, the girl was leaving a lovely large home to move into a mobile home, the mobile home was small as far as mobile homes go, the girls were beautiful looking and well reared, the travelling people really do bring their children to good standards. we could learn from them

We could learn from them? They take their kids out of education at the age of 11, the girls get a boyfriend when one of them basically forces themselves on her and then the girls are left to take care of the house and if they realise that they married the wrong person for whatever reason. Tough titties, divorce isn't tolerated.

i dont mean that, it is the way the girls behave when out, i disagree with this rough behaviour of the young fellows grabbing it is not nice, i do not beleive in children being taken out of education and the woman being the one at home doing all, but it was the fourteen fifteen yr olds who seemed to be supervised

S.M.B. · 21-01-2011 02:55AM

But it's not good morals that bring about this behaviour. It's fear.

Get a bad reputation and you're future life is more than likely severely hampered.

Those girls shown last night have more morals than most other settled girls their age.

Morality extends to more than just sexuality - surely it's immoral to steal, to live on the proceeds of crime, to show contempt for your neighbours and the wider community, to deprive your children of opportunities, to make your daughter marry a man she doesn't love or even like?

I remember her! She was terrified to marry that guy. Wasn't she the girl that didn't know if she had to move to Ireland with her husband. She cried on the dance floor when she was dancing with her dad, I think she said how anxious she was. Then when they interviewed her outside, she said something about them fighting a lot and maybe not getting on together but they were married and that was that.

I think she struck a cord with me, as I was recently married too and I felt so sorry for her.

The stuff you disagree with seems to be in the majority there.

I think I still prefer the type of upbringing where you are encouraged to follow the career that you would like, get your education, see a bit of the world, marry if you choose to and allows you to make your own mistakes and learn from them. To grow up a bit before bringing more children into the world.
Being wrapped up in a cotton wool of fear, I really don't think is beneficial to anyone.

There are also plenty of girls who do not behave badly when out without this type of a strict upbringing but they don't grab the headlines. Manners and respect is all it takes and that can be done without putting such oppressive restrictions on young women.

Back on again tonight!!!

Alessandra · 25-01-2011 09:19PM

It's very hard to understand what these travellers are talking about. I was cringing when the priest told the girl to step back from him. The religious significance of the day was a little bit lost on them though

I thought it was quite sweet that the traveller boy is marrying a non-traveller.

AlmightyCushion · 25-01-2011 09:27PM

Jaysus, the mother looks like an old leather handbag that's been left in the sun too long.

Alessandra · 25-01-2011 09:30PM

Laughing at them having to carry a fire extinguisher around with the dress!

clikityclak · 25-01-2011 09:35PM

How do they actually walk in those dresses? And the fire extinguisher- well I burst out laughing at that!

Love the boob popping corset bridemaid dresses.
