what made me laugh was that they have all those values of not letting the girls out to date ,drink or have sex outside marriage, but when they did go out anywhere they were half naked and dressed like prostitutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt so sorry for that girl, she was obviously just doing it because she was that age. She seemed to have her head screwed on aswell. I couldnt beleive it when she said she was actually quite old to be getting married. It almost sounded a bit like an arranged marraige at times.

Yes I watched that, quite the eye opener.

On my Mother's side they were Rom travellers up until my Grandmother who went brick (she married a Gajo, it was a big thing at the time) but I have never known much about the Irish travellers before.

That last girl that got married who was 22 looked like she was shitting it after the wedding, you could almost see her thinking 'I've made a big mistake...' I hope it works out for her.

I thought that. Looked like she'd only got married because it was expected of her. She made loads of comments like "stuck with him now" "we'll still be together if we don't kill each other" They'd met twice and got married!
