Some people may live in palaces and some in caravans but regardless of wealth or title everyone wants their own wedding day to be absolutely perfect. On Friday – exactly a fortnight before Kate and William say I do – a very special wedding took place in Peterborough between Irish Travellers Mary and Paddy. The 23 year olds who have been together for three years are the stars of the brand new one off special My Big Fat Royal Gypsy Wedding, which will air on Channel 4 at 9pm on April 28th – the day before the Royal Wedding. No different from Kate and William the couple had set ideas about what they wanted for their day and like most brides Mary confessed she has been dreaming of her wedding day for years. Making the day special for the couple was job of dressmaker Thelma Madene and her team. They were tasked to pull off a Big Fat Gypsy Wedding that would rival the Royal wedding in the glitz and glamour stakes… in just three weeks.
