I’m 17 been with an irish traveller for 4 years were getting married and you no what, I wouldnt change him for the world. Leave the travellers alone who the fxxk r all of you to slate them. There’s good and bad in every1. However they get there money and whatever they spend it on is none of any1 elses buisness. You don’t like what they dress like and they probley don’t like what you dress like so just let them be.

To each their own…it’s lifestyle and if you don’t want to partake in it you don’t. I think it is great that they are spreading the word of their culture and don’t think any one should be harsh or any one else’s choices. They are not doing anything illegal or harming any one.

If it is a choice, then choose to or not to..

And if you don’t like it, don’t look.

I watched the series on tv about the weddings. It seems like the biggest day of their lives, but then, there is their daughter’s wedding. Look at the mom’s faces during all the planning.

No one is bringing up the actual work put in the dresses. On the show, many times the dressmaker was going by illustrations made by the bride. Making that into a 3-D fabric artwork is an amazing job. All the brides on the show were amazed, no dissappointment.

I’ve made prom dresses, one of them from a Disney movie. It’s great to take the girl’s idea and make it real. It would be fun to make a traveller’s wedding dress just to see if I could. It would be a challenge, and would take lots of talent. It wouldn’t be for a wedding, I doubt if I have the skill for all that.
Are there many seamstresses in the traveller community? How do they keep their fabric stock in store?
How are the dresses kept after the wedding?

My mom was fascinated by the dresses.

What an offensive site. Let’s try and understand the feelings of our fellow country people. They have their way of doing things and they should be accepted for their heritage, skills and talents. You don’t have to be a celebrity to be put up on a pedestal.

A quarter of a million? Does no-one in authority ever ask themselves where these people, who usually claim to be working as labourers or running scrapyards, get that kind of money to spend on a wedding? Or even a hundredth of that money? Rather than targeting legitimate, tax-paying businesses, the inland revenue should start looking into travellers’ incomes more closely – they wouldn’t be long getting the extra 7 billion the UK government wants! And as for the police – are they completely helpless? In just the past few months, traveller camps have been found to contain people (mainly with mental problems, and some held for up to 20 years) who were forced to work as slaves, and several missing and very valuable animals, yet no investigation appears to have been launched. And then people wonder why we law-abiding, tax-paying members of the Irish community hate these programmes so much; not only are they paying these people even more money, but they’re making the Irish the laughing-stock of the country – again.

I personally think its so interesting to see people from different parts of the world celebrate their own culture. It’s so awesome. I don’t see nothing wrong with Irish travelers I love how nice and loving they are and by the way GREAT JOB on your weddings so beautiful and different .

I’m not a traveller but I think they’re weddings are stunnin! I’m so jealous..and I’m not afraid to admit it! If i could afford a wedding like that I would love it. Whats the point in hating on other communities and then wondering why there is a divide between them.. its a joke I tell ya
