Controversial reality series which explores the day-to-day lives and traditions of various Roma gypsies and Irish travellers living in the UK. The show, first aired on Channel 4, follows young men and women as they and their families prepare for upcoming nuptials: lavish ceremonies in which the dress often weighs twice as much as the bride.
