Gypsy Wedding Ceremony in Wakefield - Coral Anne and Hicky 4K

The bride and groom take a while to get to the church, but their guests are mainly all on time, having made a huge effort to dress up, beautifully. The service seems long for all the children - and adults too, so there is quite a bit of restlessness amongst the congregation, and once the service is over, Coral-Anne and Hicky race out of the church at top speed! After that their next stop is to visit the cemetery where Hicky's brother lies buried in a an ornate tomb, so that they can have posed family photos by the gravestones, including those of other family members. Their wedding reception follows that but I'm still editing it.

[@lovehopefaithgrace]

Again, beautifully filmed and the way the little details are included and the way the color pops out... It was a beautiful wedding and you captured the important moments!! 💖 Thank you for sharing!!

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@lovehopefaithgrace Aw, bless you! That's such a lovely thing to say. Brides and their families put so much love and effort into making the wedding day the best they can afford, it's important that I also work with love to make a longstanding record of their day, the very best I can. I try to focus on the most important actions, as well as taking all the photos to make a good visual record for them. I sincerely hope that this record outlives my own life anyway, just as I still treasure my parents' wedding album, with photos taken by my paternal grandfather, who was also a wedding photographer!

[@KKonYouTube]

I understand all brides are beautiful, because they have a glow about them when they're in the right gown& with the right partner... BUT this bride is STUNNING!

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@KKonKZbin Yay! She certainly IS! How kind of you to compliment her, too! So many negative people prefer to be hurtful, so I'm very happy to see your lovely comment! xx

[@Paula-u5h]

The noise from the guests is so disrespectful. Kids running around. It’s like this is the bit where you have to go through before the party. It’s like half time at bingo not a church service. Very disrespectful to the vicar. The only time they piped a bit was at the end 😢

They also act like they don’t want to be there, do they even LIKE one another? Doesn’t seem like it! I’ve never seen such a mess of a “wedding” BUT I do have to say that her wedding dress is a lot more classy than some of the ones I’ve seen that they have made

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Travellers are not allowed to be alone with a boy before their wedding, Cheryl. Church ceremonies are long, and even though they are Christians and regularly attend this church, they are young and eager to get to their wedding reception. Many of them are smokers too, and weddings are stressful. Cut them some slack, please.

I have never seen such a disgraceful wedding the children were appalling coming and going throughout the ceremony. Dressed in T-shirts and using their phones etc. I felt so sorry for the vicar. Nobody even recited the Lords Prayer. Absolutely appalling throughout.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Unfortunately, traveller children have not been taught the same rules or conventions, Susan, as the rest of society in general. Fortunately, though, this was the couple's regular church, where they were much loved and tolerated for their differences. Yes, it's hard to see when we do things differently and have certain expectations of behaviour, but essentially, it's not their fault, as they don't know any differently.

No, you are mistaken. it's a genuine marriage. This is normal behaviour at traveller weddings. We went to the groom's brother's grave in the nearby cemetery for family photos afterwards, before going to their wedding reception. All the girls enjoyed dancing, but then one annoying little kid did something that you will see when I upload the wedding ceremony, once I've finished editing it.

[@Felicity2121]

You will find that they get embarrassed by attention especially the girls, they don’t even like a peck on the cheek by their husbands in public.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Exactly! It's just a pity that no-one else realises this, so they keep comparing their behaviour with what, in their own experience is "normal behaviour' at weddings.

[@Gold_gyrl]

I don’t even know anyone in this wedding but I am so embarrassed as a human being that other human beings act like this!! seriously?

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Well there's no need to be. "Each to their own", as the saying goes, and this is their own way of doing things. Always expect the unexpected!

Beautiful couple....but people talking and on their mobile phones!!!! So disrespectful!!!

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Thank you, Maria. I understand what you mean, but travellers simply haven't learned to follow the same rules of society as everyone else, so in general, this is normal behaviour at traveller weddings. If you haven't learned to behave in a certain way, then it's not going to come naturally, is it.. Fortunately, this is the bride's regular church, so the church leaders there know their families and are happy to welcome them into their flock. They were quite excited actually to see them married, so not at all judgmental.

[@ritajaklitsch7559]

@@ReelLifePhotos This is an explanation I can understand. I see lavishly dressed people and a very charming couple, but although I myself never cared about rituals, tradition or religion I really feel sorry for someone who prepared themselves and try their best to give a caring, thoughtful, special speech to people on their most important day of their lives. Do you think that respectless conduct may be due to the lack of formal education? Or could it even be a lack of respect for any person out of their own community? I want to understand what is happening here. I'm not British, I am an Austrian historian. I know about European Roma and Sinti and have studied their history (which is very tragic, especially in Austria and Germany during WWII.) I still struggle to understand the Irish and English Travellers culture, which obviously is very different from the Romani and Sinti culture (and genetics). I watched some of your superb edited videos, your respectful and really tasteful way of documenting those events, but I still struggle with the behaviour of some Traveller people and am left to wonder: Are they taught to disrespect any non-traveller authority? (But why would they make the effort to book a church ceremony?), or did they just never learn to LISTEN TO AND PAY ATTENTION, because all of them have never been schooled?

[@teresa55808]

They're not paying the slightest bit of attention to the vicar, very disrespectful. They're in a church but they don't behave like it's a house of God, just making use of it for the wedding.

It's a difficult situation. Self-discipline is not something travellers have been taught, so they have not been socialised the same way or have the same social expectations that other people have. It's hard to sit still and listen, anyway, isn't it.... I think the bride and groom did really well to sit still so long, though even they couldn't wait to ring outside, at the end. Did you watch that bit, Claire?

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@Eudi2020 Hi there Eudi! I can't really answer your question for sure - about the bride looking up - but am guessing it's just her sunny personality, so a natural reflex action when smiling. As for the way the wedding guests were behaving inside the church, it wasn't a problem for any of the clergy, as this is the couple's regular church, so they were all well known. If you notice, they were actually looking forward to this wedding and said so as such, so no-one was offended. Travellers have their own ways of doing things. They don't mean to be disrespectful, but simply haven't ever learned to follow those particular social conventions. It requires a lot of self-discipline to stay seated quietly for over an hour anyway, doesn't it!

@@ReelLifePhotos yes I am, Texas! Yea, I am very outspoken, to a fault I suppose but I just don’t understand how they even got married, they literally looked miserable up there at the altar, didn’t even look at one another and if they are gonna spend so much money on the wedding they at least could’ve pretended to be happy and spare alittle for a pedi! One more thing….. the bride is absolutely gorgeous though, her eyes are beautiful

Thanks Amanda! I hope you manage to watch the last bit at the end, too. I've left most of the priest's sermon in, out of respect to the church, but it's also interesting to people watch...

Well, yes, it's a Hummer/ limo, so that's the whole idea! It's great fun for the kids, too!

[@FenrirTheWolf01]

Naw because at the grave the groom said “Make yourself useful and clean my clothes” like wow 😮

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Oh that's so funny! I must have missed that... Well he was certainly starting out how he meant to go on! My daughter did the opposite on her wedding day, so that her husband would know that he'd have to think for himself, and not expect her to mother him at all. (She brought provisions just for herself on their wedding night, so he was left hungry!)

[@ArleneMulligan-zf7yh]

Why are the guestsso ignorant? Bride and groom were as bad talking all through the vicars sermon.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@ArleneMulligan-zf7yh Maybe some people see things differently, Arlene? Some people focus on the positives. Others only see behaviour that is different from what they might expect themselves. If you've never sat through a long speech, it's not that easy to focus, particularly if your mind is elsewhere.

I have never seen people look more bored and uncomfortable in my life

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Hi Debbie, that's probably because I had a second camera capturing the view from the back. Even in schools, the bored/ disruptive pupils tend to sit at the back, don't they. It was a long day for everyone. They all couldn't wait to get to the party afterwards, which is normal.

[@kathyminassian1375]

The kids are so undisciplined. They must be used to it. The bride is just beautiful. Even the adults are noisy and chatting away.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@kathyminassian1375 Yes, that's normal, as they have their own relaxed ways of doing things. It's a day out , away from home, a chance to dress up, so they want to enjoy themselves.

[@Whitedove6]

Beautiful Bride !! Rude And Loud Guest !!

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@Whitedove6 Yes she was a really fun bride, too. Travellers tend to be exhuberant and not to have learned the same social skills, so it's understandable that the guests didn't behave thd same was as you would have expected from mainstream cultures..

[@2bluehorizons4]

@ReelLifePhotos I wish you would stop making excuses for the Gypsies/Travellers' bad behaviour. They spend enough time with ordinary people or watching them on television to know how to behave. If they don't naturally feel a sense of awe and quiet and stillness in a House of God then they are not ready to be there. There are plenty of other places where they could hold a wedding. They obviously have no feeling for the solemnity and seriousness of what they are witnessing. I wonder if the vicar spoke with them beforehand and reminded them to be respectful of their surroundings and the occasion? Perhaps the smallest children should have been kept out of the church? This is not uncommon at Christian weddings. It makes me cringe the way you say self-discipline is not something they have been taught and sitting still and listening is hard! What an absolute nonsense! They choose to be different and behave the way they do and must pay the price for that. 'All are welcome in the fold' does not mean that anyone and everyone can run roughshod over Christian traditions and church property. It means if you are willing to become a Christian and respect the ways of Christians then you will be welcomed into the fold(regardless of background). At any wedding, most of the congregation will just be visitors/guests and should behave as any guest would in someone else's house. Do you think any other religion would tolerate their nonsense? Gypsies see Christians as a soft touch and simply want to use their beautiful buildings as a backdrop.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@2bluehorizons4 Wow! That's quite a tirade! I do agree with you in many respects, but I will continue to support Travellers as they are who they are. They learn from their own people as that influence is more powerful than observed behaviour from second hanx source , so I don't blame them for being unruly. Children tend to speak and act like their parents, rather than what they see on TV.

@sylviarooney5945 I understand, Sylvia, from the point of view that most people have. However, the church knows these people, and welcomes them, despite their different ways.

[@lindakienle531]

How can people show up to a wedding not properly dressed

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@lindakienle531 What's properly dressed, is what is expected by the culture to which you belong, so for example, if you go to a Muslim wedding guests might wear trousers underneath a tunic (salwar kameez) or an Indian wedding a sari, or an African wedding a tight fitting bodice and wrap round skirt with a headdress tied on their heads; at a Naturist wedding no clothes at all, other than a towel to sit on, so it's a case of each to their own really.

[@rainbyrne691]

It’s ridiculous she can’t even walk in the dress it spoils the the look I think

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Well, it's her wedding day, so just for one day, why not allow her to feel like a princess? That's what many little traveller girls dream of from a young child onwards... She did change out of it pretty quickly, though, during the reception, so check that out too, if you like? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHu6o36OrK2UhKM

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@HannadayFLO Of course it's expected, but I've recently met not one, but two nurses who are gypsies. One a Romany and one a Traveller, so there are exceptions as the Romany nurse isn't married , despite being in her 30s.

[@Madigan-gh4jg]

Gas the way the groom walked down the isle and didn't even glance back at the bride, who was staggering and kept falling over with the weight of the dress

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@Madigan-gh4jg It takes young men time to work out when help is needed and when to stay quiet. I guess he was as keen as she was just get on with the party afterwards! He is a good man, though, as first they went to a nearby cemetery to pay their respects to his late brother.

[@helengazzara8725]

Pity about the guys who can’t be bothered to Wes anything else but jeans and t shirts. Slobs

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@helengazzara8725 I understand your reaction, but Traveller weddings don't necessarily follow the protocols of standard weddings. Weddings are more a woman/girl's thing. The men often come straight from work and are unlikely to have much need for formal attire in their daily lives. They also have limited storage space in their homes, Basically, once the wedding ceremony is over the women will all sit together in one room with a dance floor, and the men in another, usually with a bar. I'm happy to be capturing all the exciting and colourful outfits the women wear, so don't have a problem with the men wearing what they feel comfortable in.

[@justnix4487]

The bride looked lovly as did the rest of the ladies some of the men could have made more effort and i thought travelers were inti god yet they acted very badly while in church

[@ReelLifePhotos]

Thank you. Yes, they always dress up really well, but also on general, the men less so, as weddings are not their thing. I know it's a pity they haven't learned to be quiet, but formal occasions again are not something they treat the same as we'd expect. Travellers are different, and that's why all those watching this found something of interest to see or to comment on.

[@gretchenbrown7531]

Rude, crude, and unrefined. How appalling. Don't these parents teach their children any manners? Seems as though they think they are at a circus instead of in a church!

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@gretchenbrown7531 it's easy to say that, Gretchen, but do you realise how different their lifestyles and experiences are? Fortunately, the officiants at this church have got big hearts, big enough to encompass even those who are not part of a mainstream community. They welcomed the Travellers with love and care, not criticising them for who they are not.

[@theginge.]

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@berniehartzenberg8535 I understand how you feel, Bernie, but fortunately, the priest know and loves his flock and is aware that they aren't all used to the ways of society in general. It's actually very difficult to control a huge crowd of unruly people, so all credit to the church officiants for doing their best to make it an inclusive wedding ceremony.

[@ReelLifePhotos]

@berniehartzenberg8535 Also, the thing about hands in pockets is just another convention, but if you don't know that "rule/ convention", you can't be expected to stick by it.
