COVID 19 Traveller wedding in Leeds

Traveller weddings are alway colourful, excitable and loud, so see how they got on under Covid-19 restrictions! The bride's father organised everything well, so we even arrived early, but this was never going to be a typical gypsy wedding!

[@cherylmoore747]

The best age appropriately dressed bridesmaids that looked gorgeous

[@ReelLifePhotos]

That's a compliment indeed for the bride's mother, Cheryl, who put so much thought and love into organising and paying for this wedding! Thank you so much! xx

[@fairlyvague82]

I think this is the first traveller wedding I’ve seen where I’d love to wear the bride’s gown! She looks amazing! 😍😍😍

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Wow! That's all compliment indeed @FairlyVague! I loved her dress too. Thanks!! xx

[@aleksandrah.2207]

Same :) btw the bridesmaids and others also look decent

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@@aleksandrah.2207 Yes. Not all travellers go for the way out, massive dresses. It's probably just TV shows that give us the impression that all gypsy wedding dresses are like fairy tale creations.

[@anitainglis2005]

I love ❤️ traveler's they are the most down to earth people I know, and once you've got their trust, then they will do anything for you and they welcome you in to their family, my romaney family who I've known all my life are lovely people and I'd trust them with my life ❤️ 💜 💙 😊.

[@elliefoust]

I just cannot get over her stunning dress. Never ever have a seen a “gypsy wedding dress” (of course I only have over dramatized television examples) that I’m blown away by. Absolutely breathtaking!

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Oh that's wonderful Elya. No it wasn't a typical "gypsy wedding dress', like you might have seen on TV, so it's even more special that you liked it so much! xx

[@lailaayan306]

I agree. The bridesmaids dresses were also elegant. Overall really stunning

[@GypsyWifeLife]

That’s because the people on that tlc show wasnt gypsies. They were actors pretending to be. Actual gypsy weddings look nothing like that tv show.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Really? Wow! I haven't seen that show myself, as am UK based, but am surprised to hear that it has been faking it!I

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Oh thank you Elya. I'm lucky as have seen plenty, but its good you are able to see these videos, so it's almost as if you were there with me too!

[@tcslife4794]

Thank you for this glimpse in their special day. That poor groom looked so nervous and what a beautiful bride. It's stressful enough under regular circumstances and they did beautifully.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Yes, you are right. The groom is quite shy , and was very nervous, but he relaxed once it was all over. They make a great couple anyway.

[@montythepoodlepup9634]

Everybody looked stunning!! Well done under such a difficult situation 👏 Beautiful bride and fabulous 👗

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Yes, indeed. Its always going to be a bit of a disappointment if weddings can't go ahead as planned, but at least they got married and enjoyed their big day, albeit on a much smaller scale then might otherwise have been. Thanks Monty.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

That's lovely, Yvonne. They would have had a much bigger wedding though, had they not been limited to a maximum of 30 people, due to strict Covid restrictions at the time. Wedding receptions were also officially banned at the time, so that's why nothing is shown here. Am sure it saved her father a load of money though!

[@anonymph4570]

Omg this wedding is so pretty! The baby blue theme is something I never imagined but the dresses are to die for!

What a difficult time to get married. I hope nobody in attendance ended up with COVID and this beautiful couple enjoy a lifetime of love and happiness.

[@lah1667]

Her dress is lovely and not remotely tacky but my favorite ever dress was Sammy Jo's dress in the Cutting edge my big fat gypsy wedding episode. It was fitted with a three layer 20 foot train, butterflies and crystals. Very classy, unique and elegant.

[@Melissa121372]

That poor groom is so nervous!! He reminds me of my husband on our wedding day.. my father started giving him beer to calm his nerves and we always joke that if we wanted an annulment he would just say my dad coerced him with alcohol 🤣 that was almost 28 years ago and I still love him just as much today as I did on our special day 💜 It's great to see such a classy wedding!!

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Aw bless! That's so sweet of you to notice and to tell me your personal story too! Yes people can sometimes forget how this important day in our lives can affect everyone differently and its more often than not the groom, rather than the bride, who is the one feeling most nervous! The bride tends to have lived this day in advance, through all the planning and preparation, but the groom often just goes with the flow, knowing that it is the bride's day. Travellers are also partial to a pre-wedding beer or two!

[@angryannie7916]

My dad got my hubby half drunk before he proposed lol

[@debbiejudd5553]

What a beautiful bride and wedding dress. I love all their hair. I really love that they wear hats. I wish it would come back in fashion over here in America

[@jb6712]

Well, they're clown hats, so you could make your own, renew the trend toward utter silliness of wearing things that aren't at all necessary and are hard to manage, difficult to keep on one's head, and a general nuisance in every way. I think such things are vainly called "haute couture."

Just goes to show me how wonderful and diverse the world is.

"Does anyone know of any lawful reason why xyz may not be joined in matrimony today" etc is still being used in out area by registrars, as I heard it at a wedding I shot, only a week ago, so maybe it depends whether it's in church or a civil wedding? It always gets a fun reaction from the guests anyway , so is good from the videographer or photographer's point of view! I'm glad you approved of their dresses too..xx

[@leighcarlson87]

@@ReelLifePhotos interesting. I’m a progressive Christian so that may have something to do with it. I’m sure civil ceremony officiants are using a standard script. I craft each marriage ceremony wording to the taste of the couple.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@@leighcarlson87 Aha! That sounds delightful! I'm sure your brides and grooms have very moving and meaningful wedding vows. I've met a few independent wedding celebrants in my 23 year career so know that you all do a great job!

I have never seen a groom stand through the service with his hands in his pockets. Says a lot about him.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

It's unusual by mainstream standards, of course, but travellers simply haven't been socialised in the same way, so what's sern as accapable behaviour is different, so don't be too hard on him please...

@@ReelLifePhotos Sorry, I suppose being older I come from a different way of life.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@grace perry Well, I think that I am even older, but am lucky to have covered around 30 weddings in more than 20 different countries over the past 15 years, most of which were in less affluent areas of the world, so am more forgiving of different attitudes, intellectusl levels, body language and expressions, I guess. I also saw the groom after the wedding when he was much more at ease and happy to celebrate, so its possible that this colours my reaction to him as a person. No worries! xx

What's with the chewing gum & constantly licking his lips. He's lucky to have her

[@ReelLifePhotos]

It's just nerves, I guess! At every traveller wedding I see they always seem to be chewing gum throughout their wedding vows, usually the bride too. You get a dry mouth when you are nervous, don't you....

[@MJ95630]

@@ReelLifePhotos First- you are STUNNING & really should be a plus size model!! If I were a talent agency, I would want to give you a shot. Second- How long have you 2 known each other? It felt like I was watching an arranged marriage. Third- and I truthfully do not mean this in an offensive manner- but is the guy you married, mentally disabled? Forth- Yes, of course people are nervous getting married, but picture bride's & groom's holding wayer bottles & sipping on them throughout. Wouldn't it look out of place? The gum chewing looks tacky, crass & gives off a "whatever" appearance. If millions of American's, Britt's, Aussie's, etc., can do it...... wellllll .... just saying. Lol

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Hi@@MJ95630 . I was their wedding photographer, not the bride. I understand what you are saying but be aware that personal comments can be hurtful to the bride in question. She chose to marry the love of her life, and travellers always do behave differently from other people, so learning about our differences might not mean we have to judge their choice by the same measures as in our own social group?

Beautiful bride ❣️ and love all the dresses

The father had his hands in his Pocket walking his daughter down the aisle and the groom has his hands in his Pocket through out the ceremony.

Hi again Nancy. I know it feels bad to you, but travellers have different rules, or rather expected modes of conduct, as do many different cultures.

[@DS-vj1um]

The bride's dress is beautiful

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Thanks! Yes, even on the dummy it looked great, but even more so on the bride herself!

[@missjojo184]

They seem so young and he seems shy, but you can see that when he did look at her he was excited. They are both portraying nervous behavior. Wish them both luck and love. Also doesn’t seem that travelers weddings are taken as seriously like “forgers” weddings, cuz this behavior would never have been tolerated in other weddings, but this is their wedding and their lifestyle , so I think it’s fine

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Very perceptive of you Miss JoJo! Yes I agree entirely. Thank you! xx

Why is his tie so short

I hadn't really noticed to be honest Angie! I guess it's not really his thing anyway so only bought to be worn once.

[@evolveausevolveaus]

STRANGE ! Bride is gorgeous, groom never looked at her, looked coked off chops - chewing chewy, licking lips. Well done tho

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Guys tend to be a bit awkward at traveller weddings Evan. They also often chew gum throughout unfortunately!

[@eileenward]

No that's how they act when there getting married it don't mean there coked off there heads they act like that out of nerves because of everyone looking and in case the bride says no and afterwards there all happy and laughing once it's over I'm a Irish Traveller I've seen it plenty of times before trust me that's just how they are x

@@ReelLifePhotos uh huh, thanks for the info 😊🇦🇺🇨🇮😊

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@@eileenward Exactly! Unlike mainstream bridesvand grooms, they haven't had much of a chance to be alone together before the wedding, so of course they are nervous during the ceremony.

[@kristinaspencer2037]

The bride looks beautiful, the groom looks bored to tears. The suit is awful, too tight. He's even chewing gum.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Hi Kristina, Yes I find that bigger men often do buy suits that barely button in the middle, but then who am I to judge men's fashions... I also find most travellers seem to chew gum during the wedding ceremony, but it seems it's just because they are stressed and have a dry mouth. Glad you compliment the bride on her looks though.

[@mariawhitbrad3037]

Kristina not that it's eney of your business wot my son is doing.. He wasn't bored just nervous

[@headron66]

Check the guy out with the tape measure. If he had seen them earlier all in the same room I guess he would have took a flakey😂. Why do they need to be separated individually from each other when they all come from the same bubble? On another note, the bride looked beautiful.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

That's so funny, and at the same time, very logical! Yes, rules had to be taken seriously, and the registrar was just the man made to enforce them! I'm sure germs can fly beyond a tape measure! LOL!

[@lah1667]

I thought it was a nice wedding... Classy and everyone dressed nicely but I wasn't keen on the giggling by the guests or the chewing gum personally (seemed a bit too casual for a solemn occasion). I'm not here to be negative though and wish the couple the best in their married life. So many people are happy to just live with their boyfriend or girlfriend and have kids out of wedlock nowadays so it's nice to see some young people who are willing to make a commitment and uphold traditional values.

[@christinaivers323]

The women are beautiful alot of effort and style such a shame the men looked awful whoever fitted them for suits did a terrible job was this an arrange marriage the groom didn't seem to have any connection with the bride , remembering my own wedding myself and my husband had only eyes for eachother .l hope he is more affectionate in private and they have a long loving life together

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Hi Christina. Women always love to go to town with their dress, at weddings in particular. Men don't all look good in suits unfortunately However I can assure you that this was definitely a love match! We all have different tastes in men of course, and traveller girls do seem to love larger men. I'm glad you are your husband were so emotional at your own wedding day, and yes, it's always wonderful to see those loved up expressions, but not everyone is able to show affection in public. I often find grooms are less involved in the wedding itself, but this is not necessarily a sign that they are not well matched. xx

[@mariawhitbrad3037]

The men look very hansome from old to young... And thes to have onliy eyes for eatch other but prefer to show that private.. That's just the way gypsy are... So so in love
