My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding:

I am interested in the series 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding', as this gives the viewer an insight into the life of a gypsy, and their beliefs. This programme has been aired on Channel 4 in the UK and is fundamentally about gypsies marrying off, but also allows us to see how they generally live. Families tend to stay together until they marry, when they immediately move in with their new husband or wife. This is unlike the 'norm' for us, which usually means we live with our other half long before we get married.

The weddings are generally described as 'tacky'. This is reflected in this image
