Irish Wedding News
14/12/2011
Christmas is a time for family, a time for peace and harmony - but it is also a time to celebrate. This Channel 4 film follows the celebrations and traditions of members of the Irish traveller community at Christmas, as well as two of the most jaw dropping weddings ever shown.
The hour-long episode didn't disappoint, as the most OTT dresses were unveiled while a number of families partied in more astonishing style.
During one of the wedding the teenager's diamante-encrusted bridal gown included 20 underskirts and was so heavy she wore nappies around her hips to prevent it from hurting.
After finally marrying her beau when he decided to show up to the venue, Lavinia complained: "It's the worst experience of my life carrying this dress. It's 15 stone."
Filmed last year, the programme also follows a mass-Yuletide First Communion ceremony and some of the unique traveller preparations that go on in the run up to Christmas. Meanwhile the show spends Christmas Day itself with Paddy and Roseanne at their home on a traveller site in Salford.
This warm and joy-filled film offers a window into the close-knit and fiercely private community. It explores some of the age-old traveller traditions - and some of the newer ones too.
