Who saw this program last night, beggers belief that so much money can be spent on a wedding and it still looked cheap and tacky.

Sienna, you cant beat a Fish and Chips super for the wedding main course, a lovely touching moment was when the bride removed her gum just before she said I do !

Marvellous what you can afford when you don't pay tax & national insurance isn't it ?!! but what a great series this is following on from last week's edition where they followed 3 x 8 year olds into boarding school.

Well the lady that makes theses wedding dresses especially for them ' would not discuss money' but the amount of material they have in them it must be a fortune one girl had a fifteen foot train, one couldnt get into her 'Cinderella' glass coach because there was so much material !

Interesting " chav" type comments.

At least the travellers know what they are and how they are perceived!!!

Well, I thought the programme was very interesting. And, a bit of an eye-opener, in more ways than one.

I agree Jeannie a real eye opener and very interesting !



I just feel sorry for the young girls that feel they have to get engaged and marry so young, and the pressure to have those heavy wedding dresses, that must cost a fortune because they are so laiden with cyrstals.

But what happens after the dream dress ? . I noticed the last girl just 22 yrs was considered old to be getting wed, looked scared and frightful of her future, as she just did not know where she was going to live with her new husband.

I reckon the dresses are in the region of 20K the crystals are £50 for a small bag, i would dreed to think how many packets they used! And yes i agree they have very strong morals regarding the kids up bringing and religous views, shame they dont keep the outside area of their vans as clean as the inside!!!

I can never see the point in spending thousands on a wedding dress for any wedding. All that money, just to wear once. Money better spent on a new kitchen or something that will benefit the couple for years, or until they divorce anyway!
