    'The sheer size of the dress meant Missy had to spend the night before her wedding day in a hotel – as the dress wouldn’t fit in her parents’ caravan.'

    Erm, 100k on a wedding when you live in a caravan?!?! I'd have gone with buying a house I think!

    Oh my god, I'm still reading the comments on the bottom! Just hilarious!

    Can someone please explain to me how a father who tarmacs drives for a living managed to afford all that?

    Can we not have another long thread slagging off travellers' weddings? you don't like her dress, fine. i've seen plenty of dresses on here i thought were vile too.

    but let's not have loads of comments about people in caravans and what they should or should not spend money on. the idea that travellers are all poor, for instance, is very poorly thought out.

    my sister in law, who is asian, had 500 guests at her wedding, and that was after the guest list had been cut down. the norm by scottish standards? no. anything wrong with that? no.

    My eyes, my eyes... ??

    i don't care who they are, where they are from or how they afforded that wedding. all i know is that it looked cheap and not classy. reminded me of jordan's wedding tbh.

    I think what u have to remember is that this is the type of weddings these girls want - there is nothing wrong with it!!

    Are they doing any of u any harm - NO!!!

    As someone already said I have seen some awful wedding dresses on here but no one slates them - but becasue these people live in a caravan it seems that people can say whatever they like about them and thier cultures.

    as i said in my previous post, i don't care who she is or what her culture is, her dress and her wedding were ugly. fine, it's what she wanted, i would never dream of changing anything about what i want just because people might not like it themselves.

    people on here might not like my dress - again, fine. they're not wearing it, i am. if i don't like a dress on here, i wouldn't say "i hate your dress, urgh" to them, as they are actively participating on a forum like i am, so if i have nothing polite to say to her, i won't say anything at all.

    if this girl had been a poster on here, i wouldn't have made any comment. but as she isn't (as far as we know...) and has effectively 'sold her story' to closer magazine for people to comment on, i am just doing that. i'm not making any kind of social comment on who she is, her background or what her family does, just commenting on her dress.

    TBH she has opened herself up for ridicule by selling her story to Closer. Closer wouldn't have wanted it if it wasn't out of the ordinary.

    Not my taste and I have better things to be spending £100k on to be honest.

    OMFG.

    I have nothing to say. She makes Jordan look like Princess Grace of Monaco.

    Each to their own and all that!

    It's the £100k on a wedding that sticks in my throat.

    WTF are those dresses about ?

    Do they live in a caravan because that's certainly not influencing what i think about it. I didn't even read why she might want to go out like that.

    Who cares ?. They are allowed to have an opinion.

    And to answer your question, the girl in this picture might as mine was a bit more traditional ?. Wouldn't have been her cup of tea.

    Each to their own and all that, I couldnt care less if people laugh at the dress I wore, but then I didnt sell my story to a magazine to brag about it... people like that are opening themselves to ridicule.

    I personally found the guests in bikinis more strange than her dress and I got married at a beach abroad, but then it was over a year ago, maybe things have chaged dramatically.

    To me this story just highlights the reason why divorce figures are so high.

    This is only my opinion but i dont feel she got married for reasons like wanting to be together for the rest of there lives but quite simply as day to be 'centre of attention'.

    Nobody took the ceremony seriously by the sounds of it,Talking through it!!!I DARE any of my guests to interupt our vows!!!!Then the comment she makes about wanting to be a glamour model.She doesnt care if he doesnt like it it HIS problem???Yes fair enough but wouldnt you talk something like that through first????

    Maybe im too old fashioned???But for me marriage is going to be forever.Im not saying we not going to have our problems we have had and still do now but we talk things out and work through them.Short of finding out some horrible alternative serial killers lifethat hes leading hes well and truly stuck with me!!!?

    My neice got married at 16 and lasted 6 months.So sad but everyone said she was too young and should have waited as when you grow older you change.

    I wish them well and all the luck.

    I couldn't care less if someone doesn't like my dress. The dress I have picked is possibly one that my h2b won't even like but he isn't the one wearing it.

    Each to their own and that girl choose to share her story to a magazine so will surely be expecting people to comment on it. The magazine knew it would get people talking because it isn't your typical wedding.

    I haven't commented on her wedding but any comments I would make wouldn't be based on her being a traveller and would just be based on the fact I think spending £100k on a wedding is unnecessary.

    I think they are missing the point of a wedding

    First and formost, it is a tender and meaningfull public declaration of the couples love and intent to care and look after each other forever

    Forget the trimmings, the pariphinalia, the real nuts and bolts of it is that he further away from this "tender and meaningfull public declaration of the couples love and intent to care and lookafter each other forever" that couples get, the less the real value of the marriage is. Period

    If you have the money spend it, but in reality, this appears to be more show than substance
