What It Means To Become a Gypsy Wife 

She looks beautiful and I actually like how the wedding looks, only thing missing is a willing and happy bride.... Poor girl seems miserable...

Update: After years of unhappy marriage, Violet divorced the man she gets married to in this episode. Her parents took her back, because they saw how unhappy she'd become. "He seemed to do little more than loaf around on the site. I’d get up at 6am to scrub our trailer, go out to work and then come home to cook. We argued constantly. I’d been brought up to believe that men treated women like princesses but he treated me with no respect. After eight years I was utterly miserable, but I plastered on a smile and tried to pretend I was happy, I couldn’t talk to anyone as gypsies don’t tend to discuss our personal lives. But eventually after another heated argument, I knew I was worth more and had to leave. I did the next day.” She even had a divorce party: "My divorce party felt so good. I was proud of myself for getting out of my marriage."

As someone who’s from the UK gypsies have a bit of a reputation. As with any group of people some of them are really nice but some will turn up to places get off their faces and start fights. Unfortunately as well a lot of gyspy settlements in the uk are illegal and when they’re made to move on they leave the area full of rubbish and kind of destroy the place which doesn’t help win them any local support.

Violet's manager isn't wearing a dorag, it's a religious thing. It's a type of turban called a patka. I'm guessing he's a Sikh as they are are quite common in some parts of Britain 🙂

Giving up your independence for a man who wants a replacement mommy, baby maker & maid is a death sentence for some of us, whether or not they're from the traveler community. Many women are still told what this mother said to her daughter and denigrated for standing up for themselves.

This really bummed me out. I feel like we just watched a mother pressure her daughter into sexual slavery. "We won't let her come back" is such a scary and heartless thing to say. This poor girl is so trapped.

It’s horrible that gypsy girls/women are treated this way in their culture still. So sad.

I worked in a school for a bit as a teaching assistant in the UK, and there was a boy I worked with who was a Gypsy. His mother had recently left her husband and the community, bringing him with her. He was in Year 8 (12-13), but had the reading and writing level of a 7-year-old. We did a lot to support him in the school, but he was so far behind the other children and we were expected to support him in an ordinary Year 8 class, the whole thing was impossible. He should have had access to special one-on-one attention, and additional English and Maths classes, but the funding just wasn't there. It's such a shame as his mother was clearly trying to do the right thing and leave the community and get her son a proper education. I really hope that both of them have done well since I left. He was a nice kid.

The fact that the parents are expecting her to flee back home not once but several times is fucken scary. Annnnd they're prepared to turn her away until she submits to darling husband >_>

I was a nurse at a large hospital in the maternity unit. We had a gypsy family come in where they didn't even have ID. No purse, suitcase etc. When they left they left with three garbage bags of stuff. They took the paper towels from the dispenser, the telephone and the sheets and blanket. The room was stripped of everything that wasn't hard attached. We had over $1000 of supplies taken from the supply room. It was unbelievable.

I know that a lot of actual Romni people HATE being called Gypsies. At least from personal experience. I have a friend who's from a Romni family and they distance themselves from "Gypsies" and refer to them as trailer trash and a disgrace. It's crazy, in all honesty. Edit: So, I'm just gonna put it here but this is just what my friend's community has told me and what they practice. Obviously there will be differences and some people WILL refer to themselves as what is considered a slur but let's be real, tons of other groups do the same. I'm not saying that this is 100% the way, there's a ton of different beliefs out there. I'm simply speaking from my experiences from several Romni communities that have been very vocal about the use of Gypsy and their dislike of it. :)

She is actually the first gypsy bride that I can say, is beautiful, naturally beautiful. ...has complete common sense, & is a good woman/ worker. I hope she finds happiness, cause ain't with him, & that caravan. I hope they do a follow up on her.

One of my classmates is a gypsy and it's scary how women are belittled in this culture. She's only 21 ans pressured to find a husband, she was battered by her boyfriend and everyone went against her for telling the police and not just submitting to him, even her own parents... That's just terrifying

“She has to do the best she can in life-“ Ma’am she already was and YOU ruined it.

I used to work at a hospital (in America) and one of the head gypsies in my area would frequent for health complications and it got so bad that the family other than his wife were not allowed into the hospital. They were caught breaking into other patient rooms looking for valuables. It was such an issue that the hospital staff would be alerted if he was admitted.

As soon as I heard she had a job, I was singing, "She worked hard for the money. So hard for the money, but now she's a gypsy bride".

The fact she said “do not get married” after getting married…poor thing. This sounds bad, but I hope she’s divorced by now (since this was so long ago) and living her life and happy 🥺

The UK’s relationship with Travellers (“gypsy” is a derogatory term here) is very turbulent. There’s a lot of aggression that comes from both sides. I don’t agree with people who are nasty to Travellers, but I can kind of understand what they’re concerned about. Often times, Travellers bring a lot of trouble with them and leave community areas in a total mess. They can take over community/residential spaces and push residents out, get into fights with people and police forces, steal stuff from peoples property. But like with any group, they’re the loud minority. Then on the other side, you have nastiness in the form of bullying and straight up assaults, with people treating them like crap or even going as far as to jump them in the street purely because they live differently or because they’ve been taught by UK society that it’s okay to mistreat them. We had a Traveller boy in my school and he was regularly beaten into hospital simply because his family were Travellers. Like a lot of things in the UK, it gets really nasty.

I watched my big fat gypsy wedding at the ripe age of 13 and 14. This led to me having nightmares of becoming a gypsy bride. It’s sad that this is their lives and my nightmare 😬

It’s weird to think the appropriate marrying age depends on culture. In the gypsy/traveler culture, girls 15, 16, and 17 years old are the right times to get married while the rest of us think that’s too young. Meanwhile this woman is 25 (the normal age for a woman to get married in America) and is an old maid by her culture’s standards. It’s also interesting that a woman who went against culture by working for years would marry a guy that doesn’t want his business ruined by identifying himself as gypsy or a traveler (meaning he also lives outside of his community) but they’re still choosing to live the gypsy life at home as a married couple.

In our area we have 'gypo season', where the gypsies come to town at the same time every year. It's not a nice term to use for them but unfortunately every year during that time crime rates soar, residents and other visitors are harassed and everywhere they've settled ends up ruined, not to mention they often illegally camp on private land. It's a real shame because not all of them are like that but as usual it's the minority giving the rest a bad rap 🙁 it results in the Romani people getting a lot of hate in the UK sadly

i kind of got these weird chills when flies randomly got stuck in her dress... it was kind of like the universe saying DONT DO IT :( it breaks my heart to see her give up such a great independent life as a woman at her age, many of us strive to have that life such as myself. I pray that she finds happiness in whatever path she chooses, i am not one to judge.

Gypsies have a bad reputation in a lot of European countries mine as well. I’ve been lucky to meet both good and bad gypsies but man the bad is really bad. From teen brides, dog fighting, illegal drug trading, cheating like it’s eating etc. But I’ve also met some good guys. My dad’s landlords are two very nice gypsie men that rent out a few houses in my country and across the border. And even they told my dad about all the bad parts and how common it is.

"they make it sound so horrible" yeah that's because it is that horrible. it may not quite be a death sentence but it is a life sentence

Lol, Ken it’s not a do-rag - he’s a Sikh - it’s religious headwear.

In the UK there's Roma Gypsies and Irish Travelers - They're two different groups. Irish travelers originate from Ireland and Roma people I think originally come from south-east Asia. But they tend to be lumped together however its two distinct cultural and ethnic groups.

I feel so terrible for her about how she’s told what to do with marriage, giving up her job just to get married, and telling woman does this and that. I hope she’ll be okay 🙁 and she’s right don’t get married young, enjoy your 20’s! 😁

Ken and Buff Pro not knowing a Sikh turban calling it a do - rag had me rolling around on the floor hahahahahaha, keeping the curls fresh hahahahahahaha

As an american living in the uk, gypsys here have repu8tations for vandalization, harassment and theft when they move through a town. It's so prevalent that the government will put up flyers to avoid traveling when the gypsys are in the are. I personally have never witnessed it but my parents who live in the south of england have. A few of them threatened to steal their my parents dogs. Of course all I have said is anecdotal and I am sure it is a few bad apples that spoil the bunch type situation. So long story short, gypsys do face a large amount of prejudice in england and from what I have heard throughout Europe.

My friend has family in the UK and she was there visiting (before Covid) and they walked by someone on the side of the road playing guitar and everyone started cursing about the "gypsy". They can usually just TELL someone is a gypsy. She showed me pictures of their convoy's taking up entire side roads and everyone gives them a WIDE berth. The UK version and the US version are two VERY different things from what I can tell.

I don't know if it's the same in the States, or even in the rest of Europe, but I'm Portuguese and gipsies really do have a bad rep here. They're a nomadic people since many many years ago, so they can show up anywhere and set up shop even in the most broken down part of your town. Unfortunately, this sense of inventiveness and almost romantic "free like the wind" nature if harshly off-set by their innate sense of getting into trouble. I'm sure many gipsies are not like this, but every time some gipsy party is involved in some sort of trouble, be it in my town, or over the news, it has always been their fault. They show up wherever they want, set up shop, and from there they live by their own set of rules. Local authority means nothing to them, so they feel culturally obligated to mess with the locals, be it by vandalism, stealing and picking fights with the police. They give no respect and are granted no respect, so I'm not surprised the bride's boss wasn't too keen on employing a gipsy.

I snort laughed when you mentioned Stefano from Days of Our Lives. My favorite part of his character arc was when he was in a train explosion, then showed up a month later with no burn scars.

I’m not English but I live here and the attitude towards gypsy/traveller culture was completely new to me but I learned quickly! There are many good reasons why they’re aren’t liked in U.K. They don’t believe that the law applies to them unless it’s something that they benefit from. They don’t believe they should pay taxes or contribute to ‘normal’ society at all and wouldn’t if they could. Even the ones in houses are always disputing having to pay for utilities and council taxes. The true travellers mostly live in caravans and just park themselves off wherever they feel like it, private land or not. And then become a huge nuisance by being rowdy and making a massive mess of wherever they’re living. When it gets too messy, they just pick up and find somewhere else to park. They also put their animals out to pasture wherever they feel like it too, the side of the main roads, wherever. They’re also terrible to their animals especially horses. There are laws here to protect them to some degree but basically they believe they’re not subject to any kind of social rules. But are always complaining about being discriminated against. They also believe they should be entitled to get everything for free. They steal and scam people and believe that’s a legitimate way of making money - it’s the ‘gypsy’ way. Which is why people don’t like to hire them or do business with them. If you rent out a reception hall to them for a wedding or whatever, they will trash it and won’t pay for damages or try skip out on paying all together. A lot of the animosity towards them is more historically based, going way back. But especially in the ‘90s and early 2000’s, they always being problematic. Nowadays tho, it seems like they tend to just keep to themselves or conform somewhat to society. And of course they aren’t all bad, some are really nice people.

Fyi the guy with the ”do-rag” is actually a Sikh, its in place of a turban :)) also gypsies/romanys are called Travellers, especially English/Irish Travellers.

It's a whole culture and I'm not part of it so take what I say with a pinch of salt. I am however from the UK so I can speak a bit on the friction between travelers/gypsies Vs gorgers/not gypsies. There are alot of stereotypes around travelers in UK. The one that most say is that they don't respect woman. Travellers are often Catholic,less so now. The men work and the woman are homemakers, the daughters are taught how to clean. They have chores and curfews unlike the sons. Travaller men will cheat on their wives with non gypsies but if a wife did that she could be kicked out of their community/family. They often don't integrate with gorgors. This leads to friction and suspicion between the two different cultures.

The reaction from her boss killed me! 7:18 "HUH?!.... You are??" **looking both ways** LMFAO!!

I used to work at a department store in Alabama and whenever an alleged gypsy came in to the store the security people would call us at our terminal to watch out for them because they would always bring in these huge baby strollers and stuff the things that they would steal in them.

My mom, god bless her soul, always wanted to get a gypsy wagon and turn it into a little mobile coffee shop and set up alongside freeways around the country. Now seeing what one of those wagons look like I feel my mom was insane...j/k I still love the idea as I did when I was younger.

I'm very sorry to say, as a Brit, (to answer your question, Ken), that in the UK the general population doesn't treat gypsies very well. They face a lot of discrimination, and there's a stereotype that they steal a lot. Sadly (I hate saying this) I've worked jobs where we've been robbed blind by gypsy women...there are bad eggs in every community. Sadly because of those bad eggs, the whole community suffers because the gen pop thinks wrongly that they -all- steal etc. They are supposed to be protected from discrimination as an ethic group but there's a lot of institutionalised bigotry towards them 😔

Shes giving me 99% of her freedoms to get married.

The mom looks way too excited like she’s selling her daughter or something..why does she look so happy?

So she's giving up her job to live the gypsy life.... But he won't show his face coz being pitted as a gypsy might affect his business... So are they traveling or no? What's his business? And won't everyone who has seen the show, know he's a gypsy as soon as he introduces his wife? Or is she going to be confined to the wagon til death do they part? Is this like consensual abduction?

'Gypsies' is kind of seen as a derogatory term in the UK now, so 'Travellers' are what they are referred as, even if they stay put xD

I wouldn’t call it Stockholm syndrome, I’d call it indoctrination

I hate this stereotypical 50s female role they’ve got going on. I think it’s ridiculous that she had to quit her job. A simple data entry job could be done online that way she could still travel, have a job, earn her own money, and have a little independence. I mean I wish her all the luck in the world but damn did she look unhappy when she got married. That’s not love it’s just security

Dude when her boss looked at the camera first before making a response lol made me think oh man he might really not like gypsies

I'm dying when Kent call the guy Patka a durag 😂

This is why I’m not marrying a dude. Ken, Dane and Sylvester Stallone are taken so I’m not interested. 🤣

I remember when I was in secondary school (high school for US), there was a whole community of gypsies living next to the our school field and once during a lesson we watched a man running after a horse from the field into the parking lot. All of the teachers lost their shit running out into the parking lot. Funniest end to a school day ever :)

Poor gal, she's been told all her life that this was the path to happiness. Probably did everything she was told and thought was ''the way'', and now realizes it has all been a bloody lie.

"Maybe I'm Gypsy..." Dane thinking something we've all may have contemplated at one point during this series.

The reason the camera people are always talkin to them while they’re cleaning, is because they’re always cleaning!

Can these girls like break free and decide their own way if they really want to? Like I dont understand why she would wanna give up her independence to be married..

I wonder if it's a generational thing, because my mother went from "You are 20, don't you dare get married or have kids" to "why haven't you given me grandkids!? You're 22, a year older than me when I had you!"

I've waited for another gypsy wedding for so long!! That's exactly what I need right now 🙃

It's trippy watching these out of order; new arm tat, no new arm tat lol

Gypsies are a protected group under the Equality Act 2010 in the UK, but still face discrimination. They have a bad reputation from antisocial groups of gypsies who leave household waste and cause public disturbances. I remember a time when it felt like every newspaper was talking about gypsies daily.

So- Gypsies in the UK... I honestly feel like an open person, willing to give anyone a chance- thought the same about gypsies. I'm sure there's good groups and such out there- but you do hear things. Theres a street where they go through peoples bins and steal bikes etc- they kinda just toss the rubbish out of the bin and into the street with the mentality of 'it no longer belongs to them because they've thrown it out' Near me there was also a few gypsies that moved into a park. I walked past, they were dancing around and I think I mentioned outloud that it was cool. Sudden silence, everyone turned to stare- I kinda just backed out and the dancing began again. Next day there were police everywhere due to people getting assaulted. I didn't think I held anything on them, as I was like 'Probably a small group making things bad' but I went to a bar that had some gypsies in. Was totally cool with it, went to get a drink- one of them bumped into me and started to do weird hand movements as they spoke- I instantly had a sinking feeling as I spoke and I held my hands over my pockets while I talked. Some of his friends were trying to get behind me as he moved his hand around. I had never been so sure that they were trying to pick my pocket- the guy looked sad for a moment then turned away. I've never had every fiber of my being instantly like 'Protect pockets- stay alert- get away'... it honestly made me wonder if I was imagining it and I was being biased- I want to keep my mind open and accepting but I honestly couldn't help but have bad feeling instantly. I keep thinking back and being like 'What was that...? Was I imagining things or did I judge them based on their culture?'. I'm still open minded, I'd still accept someone if they said they were a gypsy after I got to know them- but I do feel like there's now a barrier that I can't help have up.

Her boss isn't wearing a do-rag, he's Sikh and has uncut hair as part of his religion (I think uncut hair is called Kesh, which is one of the 5Ks) There are quite a few Sikh people in the UK, especially in the Midlands where it sounds like she's from, and they make up an important part of the community :)

In Serbia you can't miss gypsies, they are much darker than us, they have different accents, can't pronounce some sounds, they also have their own language. And sadly usually no education

When I lived in Texas, we had a Traveller season. During the colder months, we knew they were coming. They weren't the best group, often fighting or jumping others, in trouble with the law, and always trashing the place. It got so bad that majority of the towns businesses that I worked in refused them service. They would complain but never win since many people weren't scared of them. One proposed to me once and I was immediately like, "No thanks. I'm good." Often they flaunt money, the fancy cars (that they ran until they stopped working with no maintenance done), and destroy property. Some were nice. But not all. It was sad really.

I literally love gypsy brides uk! Been watching since the 1st episode in 2010. (Most American gypsies come from the UK apparently!) Violet didn't want to get married, it was her age and her mum that wanted her to settle down.

“Traveller” is a softer way of saying that someone is a member of Romani culture. Many people do not like the term “gypsy” so “traveller” is used. They don’t necessarily all live nomadically.

Buff and Ken saying that the Punjabi guy is trying to keep his waves fresh 🤣😂🤣😂 who's gonna tell them 😂🤣

I actually found my soul mate when I was 20 and we got married right before I turned 21. A family friend screamed at my husband on our wedding day because I was too young, in his opinion. We are still happily married 20 years later. To each their own.

Just got lunch and opened RU-vid, perfect timing.

Her mother just seems like a Miserable Human Being !!! I feel soo BAD for this poor young girl ... I hope she finds a way to occupy her time with something that brings her joy ! - 👊🏻 From 🇨🇦

I don't know about the rest of the UK, but where I'm from in Scotland, we used to get gypsies parking their caravans in local beauty spots, or in the grounds of the local castle, they tear up all the grass and make such a mess, I think that's where the bad rep comes from. The local council ended up putting up barricades and they've not been back since. Edit - I'm not saying ALL gypsies are like this, only the ones I've seen personally.

I used to run a carnival, and all of the food and game owners were gypsies. They didn't mind being called that, they called themselves gypsies. They are wonderful, successful people. Great business people!! I'm still good friends with a few of them even though we haven't worked together for years ❤️.

This may come across as prejudiced, they are not my prejudices, just an explanation. The reason the Irish traveling community (I'm not talking about Romani) have such a bad reputation in Ireland, at least in rural communities, is because there have been many cases of them setting up camp on private land like farms, then trash the area, take things, don't dump their sewage responsibly, basically have to get the police involved to get them to move along and leave the cleanup to the landowner. This has happened to my uncle and they essentially prevented him from being able to use one of his fields for his livelihood for weeks until the police got them to go. Obviously this is not all of the community, but enough to build a bad rep over generations. There's very little done on either front to foster goodwill between general society and them. Also it's always the trouble makers that make news and perpetuate the stereotype of antisocial behaviour. I went to primary school with a few girls whose families had settled and they were lovely, I was friends with some, not with all, because like with any individual there are personality clicks and clashes

Definitely true. My family/friends in the UK talk trash on Gypsies all the time. Apparently they’re known for rolling into town a few times a year getting trashed a the pubs and fighting, stealing, causing all sorts of problems and then they run from it and move on

I lived in Italy and saw firsthand the issues with gypsies. I understand the reason why people have a bad view of them. Pickpocketing, squatting, littering, and scams were a common thing we ran into. This was a problem in Paris too. As a Canadian it was shocking, I've only seen a police report about a gypsy group that was shoplifting our stores when I worked at Danier leather. They used strollers, booster bags and long skirts to conceal the jackets, they'd cut off the security tags with dog nail clippers and tuck the tags into the pockets of other jackets. That was my first experience with gypsies until I went to Europe. I wanted to believe that the stereotype wasn't true but sadly it isn't.

Gypsies do have a pretty bad reputation here in the UK. I've watched a lot of this show, and in most of the episodes they talk about how they keep the wedding venue secret until the last minute because if the owners find out it's a gypsy wedding they'll cancel. Gypsy weddings have a reputation for fighting and property damage here, I think.

For those interested it appears that Violet Ann finally divorced her husband after about 7 years of her trying to make the marriage work. According to her, her parents could see how miserable she was and let her come back home because they wanted happy Violet back. After her divorce was finalized she threw a divorce party with karaoke, a cake and her altered wedding dress. "As I unpicked the stitches to modify it, I felt as though I was unpicking the misery of my marriage. It was brilliant. And I went back to the same bakery that made my wedding cake - they’d never made a designer divorce cake before." Tldr: She got divorced, threw a rager, got a job and is happy 😁

I live in Poland and here the gypsies also have a bad reputation. While working in the store, I was robbed by a gypsy woman and had to return the money to the store from my own pocket. Later, I found out that my friends from the shops nearby, seeing that someone looks or behaves like a gypsy, do not serve him in the store. When I was little, my parents scared me that if I didn't behave well, the gypsies would come and take me away from them.

I work as security at clubs and we're not allowed gypsies in, the one time we did they started a fight.

I used to work in a restaurant (in Utah. I’ve lived here my whole life and have never seen gypsies) but they would come into the restaurant (which was off the highway) and it was always a rough time. Not only would it be a group upwards of 30, they would be beyond loud, often drunk, and destroy the dining room. I hate stigmatizing people and groups but I have some understanding as to why it happened with gypsies. And why she wouldn’t have wanted her coworkers to have known

The flies: "Don't do it!!" Everyone: "Kill them!!"

It's so sad because she is saying "marriage" takes away your freedoms. But it's not actually the marriage at all its the person she is marrying.

Thank you Ken, as i too absolutely hate when the vast majority of character conflict can be resolved by a conversation.

8:15 yeah gypsies aren't treated well in the uk at all, and they're called travellers because they say 'gypsy' is offensive! And as for businesses not wanting them in their establishment, I'd say probably 90% + of UK gypsies I've ever met especially the men are extremely aggressive and confrontational toward non gypsies. They also move around from place to place in big travelling groups with all their caravans, break onto privately owned grounds and make camp there illegally, wreck the area, leave bags and bags of rubbish, hunan waste qnd sometimes unwanted pets in the feild when they move on causing the landowner and expensive amount of cleanup! Yeah they don't have a great rep over here....!

Her bosses reaction looked like he already knew and the TLC people told him before filming started.

The fact that Ken name-checked a recurring character from Days of Our Lives is so worrisome.

Hi gypsy here (16) lol that advice is so wise. I almost got engaged because I was confused and scared of not being able to have a choice in who I marry anymore I wanted to convince myself that I wanted it but I regretted it as soon as I said it. I had no idea who he was and if I wanted to get to know him I wasn’t allowed a social life or go to school anymore. I am so thankful that I said that I didn’t want to marry that guy. I still remember the day my mum told me some guy wants to ask to marry me my heart fell to my stomach it was like I watched my whole life fall apart. I’ve seen what gypsy marriages look like it’s hell (from my experience) and yeah people are cruel to us but I didn’t face any problems like that I’ve only seen my father and my mum get thrown out of shores (rightfully so they would shop lift) I fund it funny that I was surrounded by crime and I’m scared to even throw a paper on the ground or even steal stuff lol dad was a drug dealer mum stole a bunch grandma is scamming people in Poland. Life’s crazy man. (Dating isn’t allowed for women only men can have girlfriends but women have husbands 🤮🔫)

I worked at a place that a lot of gypsies would go to, Wildest night I can remember was when over 15 of them started a fist fight in the parking lot and were just laying eachother out with knockouts.

Those horse drawn wagons are definitely what some travelers live in, some have switched to campers and rv’s. People outside of the culture have kind of appropriated them and turned it into a fantasy Ren faire thing

Holy sheep stuff...I just realized that Kenny and Dane should react to the reality show...."Indian Matchmaker" one of the best dating shows ever!

I live near a travellers camp and in primary school we often met the kids from that camp, it was rare for them to stay in school for more than 2 years. In my last year I made friends with one girl and was jealous when I heard they moved around a lot, I asked her where she was going after school and she said she was staying home. Again I was so jealous because she didn't go to school. Now I understand what she may have been dragged into.

The Honeymoon period is supposed to be the happiest time and she's this depressed. That's sad. It's like she's given up everything for nothing but the right to say she's married.

I am of Gypsy blood, it's pretty cool to know that about your family. My Granddad was "England's smallest cyclist" back in the early 1900's. At three years old he could do some tricks and cracked people up with his winning personality. He was a great man, I'm so glad I was able to spent my first 19 years knowing and loving him. Our family is "normal" nowadays but I will bust out a quick curse if you cross me. It's a good thing I'm such a good guy. I've only done it twice.

I worked at a Best Western in Chicago, and we had gypsies come in a couple of times and I think they were also denied rooms because once they came in they would refuse to leave. They always fascinated me though 😅

FINALLY THE RETURN! I’m getting married in two months and I watch and rewatch your Gipsy wedding videos with my fiancé because we *definitely* want our wedding to be equal dumpster fire 🔥 Edit: okay I just got to the end of the episode and this wasn’t a dumpster fire, it was just sad 😣 Poor girl, marriage shouldn’t and doesn’t have to be the end of your freedom! Your dreams and independence is important and the right guy will embrace that and help you reach your dreams! I’m graduating from college a month before the wedding, and my future husband is moving with me to Los Angeles so I can pursue my dream job as a screenwriter. I’m so so sorry she had to give up her job and independence!

There was once a problem with holy water being stolen from the church. The pastor of the church waited to see what would happen, he approached them kindly. Took them outside, blessed a faucet, and told them they were welcome to as much as they pleased. (No they didn’t bottle and sell it). We have to protect our children, but for those who adhere to our laws and abide to the church (many have legitimate businesses) are very different. Now- we do have an excess of psychics and there are elders who with access can do certain “spells” but they are normally only those who are true Gypsy and have married within their culture (not all of them are related). There are occasional financial offers to “gorgers” (I don’t think “we” are referred to as that), to “clean the bloodline”. Most of these are looking for dark haired blue eyed men. Common terms depicting cool or fashionable: Blackest Maggest (most magnificent) Superstar They do perform in front of their houses, and while I was a child they often looked more like toddlers and tiaras, they mostly stick to recognizable high end brands. They live in lavish McMansions, often these are built at a child’s birth, and are completed as she ages. Marriages are generally about being the ideal “merger” with families of equal means. The family usually resides in a trailer nearby to absorb the costs of these tremendous homes. Often sacrificing their own lives for the bloodline

For future reference Ken, that manager dude is not wearing a durag, that's a turban. That man isn't black, he's South Asian. I doubt you misunderstood on purpose, but the little "bump" at the top of his head is usually a strong indicator that it's not a durag lmao.

IT'S TIME BOYS

I grew up next to the biggest Irish traveler settlement in the US. I was best friends with a young girl from the community growing up. She was the last one in school with us and I’ll never forget when her parents took her out. She now lives in a huge house with kids and is married to someone she said she didn’t want to marry. They have very strong traditions and reputations that keep them trapped in the system.

True story, one time at a bar in the UK my cousin got into an argument with a gypsie and the gypsie must of rang up all his friends and family because a bunch of vans showed up filled with very angry people it was nuts !

Thank you the video, just what I need on a Friday evening in South Africa💖

He was wearing a turban , that's Sikh culture (Indian).. not do rag for the curls🤭

Here in northwest uk we get gypsys who go up and down back streets looks for metal that they can steal and sell happens every year they also illegally park in car parks and leave a mess 😬
