traveling not cing no in a trailer I've never been away from home for one night I home like me family I'm you leaving why you going Trav get away from [Music] you f and her assistant manager Pauline are calling possible reception venues as they begin organizing the wedding with less than 3 weeks to go hi I'm just seeing if you've got any availability for a wedding for the day and the evening on the 15th of April this year this year yeah bit short notice oh no we've got weding booked already yeah no sorry I've got large dinner books in on the 15th of April this year yes oh my goodness we're running out of venues Paul you haven't even star J Paul got a hotel oh God what if we can't get one with most of the wedding preparations in fma's hands Mary has time to choose the right shade for her nails which one of these pinks would you recommend that's a really nice pink did you fancy having that all over yeah yeah tell me about your proposal then Dar take get down a Wy no definitely not you must have asked you somehow not allowed to tell that probably kill me will he yeah so who organizes most of the wedding yourself Dan's very good she's organizing all the dresses and she like a fair godmother she comes up she'll go and get everything organized do you have the 15th of April available for a wedding please it is available that's brilliant there's no problem parking you know if the the trailers or the Caravans are not on there now is that oh we've got one Paul got one yeah that's good that's great yeah that's brilliant isn't it God I thought that was going to go on forever there thank you shortly after finding a venue there's more good news oh well I've got two then but just 30 minutes later the first venue cancelled so the they're actually blocking the whole day house bye-bye well a load of crap that was a excuse was that the wedding on the Saturday um has now booted the hall for the Friday as well so they can set it up now that room was available half an hour ago they said yeah it's just blatant discrimination isn't it yeah it's just so wrong calm down calm down calm down yeah cancellations are a common problem for travelers and it's not long before the second Hotel calls back hello y the hotel is on shut down for that one particular evening for this group as they've took all the hotel over and you didn't know this before when you said the room was available no unfortunately not because I've been away on holiday till now you sure it's just not cuz The Travelers no it's got nothing to do with that what normally we do except bye-bye bye-bye how pathetic is that it's really is blatant the way they're treated like worse than second class citizens they really are you a traveler go [Music] away dress maker thma medine has been given just 3 weeks to plan and organize every last detail of one traveler girl's dream wedding she's on her way to North Wales to pay the traveling community's favorite cake maker a visit Mary wants this cake to be bigger and better than any other cake I can't repeat what Jill said to me when I asked her about the cake and how long it was to go she swore at me Mary has three simple requests the cake must be big pink and shaped like a horse and carriage so the stand as it is we'll put like six tiers here then here and there yeah we'll do flowers on the back yeah and then once again thereafter either side yeah more cakes yeah Irish traveler Norine works part-time to help produce perfect gypsy wedding cakes see I was actually thinking feathers there I don't know why how you get feathers there all fluffy there yeah I think about that you got to as you go along you got to do it as yeah what looks nice doesn't take off and then what the glitter is that pink or is that white most of the Travelers weddings I've been to they've had like the castle you know the castle Cy yeah or like I haven't seen one of these before it's from like princess Cinderella it's all from cartoons so obviously they want to be a princess for the day so they want everything that's going to relate to being a [Music] princess like many Irish Travelers bride to be Mary is also drawing inspiration from a real life Princess that was kind of sticking out here when up that dress yeah don't like slaves though she looked like a princess in it acted like a princess they've done their veils and Will's been very nervous his knees were supposed to be shaking doing himself nerves are setting in for Mary too but for entirely different reasons venue is cancelled once again um cake I haven't even got it's two weeks me wedding what's your role going to be on the day I'm BR ma what what's your dress going to be like oh it's really nice it's pink it's not too sticky out but it's sticky out but it's really nice going have to wait in the day to see a bit more work has started on Mary's wedding gown [Music] father could you do this as well after you finish that one head designer Leanne is in charge of decorating the corset this is a decoration room this is where we apply the diamonds and do the detailing this is where they come alive we make sure that not leaves this room until it's [Music] [Applause] pect there is still some way to go on the dress but Thelma's search for a venue finally appears to be over after calling nearly 50 hotels an animal shelter has come to the Rescue all dog related inquiries press seven for all cap related inquiries press eight Martin speaking I just wondered if you got anything together for me you know Coston wise obviously we can come to agreement on on something to suit your budget yeah okay can you arrange anything at all entertainment as well yeah uh we we can normally get hold of anything a he a lovely man him isn't he you can see that he takes dogs in and things he's just lovely he's not po by than being travelous at all everybody else's Paulie got one we have what is it God it's the um you know the rescue center yeah the dog just imagine these little dogs over the you know what the menu looks amazing actually does it yeah you can have Chum win or loss yeah no no it really does look good yeah I think we could make it look lovely I think we could get like a nice dance floor in dress it all up and as they walk through it'll be all this up and everything good and a red carpy think it's more difficult organizing a gypsy

it's got to be special disc gets pulled off she'll be every traveling girls W plan after me I don't think she'll never want to do another traveler [Music] again dress maker Thelma medine has just 5 days to finish planning the perfect traveler wedding and the reason we're all in on a Sunday is because Ola see that's what we've got to do on this one we've got two little mini Brides which is probably a lot more work because they have the same decoration on as what a wedding dress would have on it so it's like doing three wedding dresses this is where it all starts from the scare point of view just in the UN skar alone there must be a mile of fabric at least a mile of fabric Marsh at the moment is working on a Crown which is filled in completely does it feel heavy on your head or yeah yeah well Mary wants a trail on her dress and she wants the most sposi on anyone's ever had 40,000 crystals just one at a time I dream about them that's going to take 10 days yeah yeah and we've been Got 5 days till the W I know in keeping with traveler tradition 23-year-old bride to be Mary has never spent a night away from her family do you w know if he snores or anything like that yet then I think it's true you don't know someone till you live with them you might be a really horrific snorer oh please God so do you do you know anybody that's um not from the traveling community that marri's in I don't know other people but um I know I wouldn't no it wouldn't be accepted if you to Mar my family no just me probably strangle me so he's very sort of setting his way fashion and strict which is a good thing I'm glad he's as strict as he is and definitely teach the same things I was teached yeah to my children yeah what about Paddy how does he compare to your dad um I think he just thinks he owns me already he's just about the same strictness as me Dad cuz I'm very independent you see I can go down my local pub and play pool on the pool table with the with the guys and you know you know just oh God I'm prober gly I'm not good at anything like that power from football are you good at football are you I'm interested in football I like it well who do you support man you oh how about you Liverpool get away from my head 3 days ago head designer Leanne quit work following a row with [Music] thma to get Mary's dress finished Leanne has agreed to come back caring on with the I'll we okay then after much of begging I'm back save the day we're all stressed out over this wedding but she's back today as price as a button and prepared to work which is good news for us she has a vital Cog in the wheel with just days to go until the wedding there's still plenty to organize this is one I love yeah this is Lovely isn't it Mary wants the perfect princess carriage to take her to the church and I want a driver in white I want pink feathers and the blankets that go over their back in pink what you have to do is wave as you go along like Kate does in the thing if she's going to do you think she'll have a carriage as well like this no definitely not don't you why no cuz she's supposed to be allergic to horses Mary's also looking for memorable acts to keep her guests [Music] entertained he that new belly dance is a gypsy dance you know yeah I think if you want to a gypsy as well to show you a bit how to do it well maybe we shoved off the dance floor that's scared [Music] enough it's a test day isn't it how my father the Str me what a good no no all right I'm Shute sh yeah this is why we have to audition imagine that on the night everyone's just been G Mary three times three times Mar W oh [ __ ] [Music] okay what is your favor the violence the violence for the church definitely it's definitely got to be her what was the other thing the flowers wasn't it and the drinks the fountain if you can put that in the um the ice sculptures that'll be great having spent the day organizing the wedding felma turns her attention to the most important item on her list the dress how we doing the team have now less than 24 hours before Mary's all important fitting this has got to be finished today definitely I've been on the trail for about 3 days now I go stiff and I

almost like theirs their version of the [Music] oh [Music] religious servic here I would want you to respect God's house and to be respectful of Mary and Patrick who are celebrating such an important occasion in their Liv I said to it is the Paddy the groom has asked not to be identified as a traveler as this could affect his ability to get work I call upon these persons here present I call on these persons here present to witness that I Mary an to witness that I Mary an do take thee Patrick do take thee Patrick to be my lawful wedded husband to be my lawful wed husband to have and to hold
