Gypsy Brides US

Discovery Real Time

Starts Wednesday 9 May, 22.00

Just when you thought it couldn't get bigger, fatter and even more lavish... it did! From the makers of Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, comes Gypsy Brides US, a brand new series for Discovery Real Time which takes viewers behind closed caravan doors and into the lives of America's Gypsy and Traveller communities. There are an estimated one million Gypsies and Travellers throughout the US, but most live in complete secrecy, away from the judgment and discrimination that plague their communities. However, their lifestyles are anything but discrete - they blend traditional values with modernday influences, resulting in weddings and other celebrations that are large, loud, and lavish. Gypsy Brides US goes inside their homes and attends their parties to share what it's like to be living as a Gypsy in America.
