Many girls dream of becoming princesses, and from childhood they dream of a lavish wedding. It is interesting that with age, the tastes of some brides do not change at all.
Weight and cost of a gypsy bride's wedding dress
British Rebecca Markham at 39 years old fulfilled her childhood fantasies and appeared before the guests at her own wedding in an incredible $8,700 dress. A huge skirt, almost square in shape, supported by eight rings and studded with Swarovski brand crystals, literally did not fit in the aisle between the pews in the church, so the girl had difficulty getting to the altar.
But this is not all the misadventures: the dress weighed 63 kg, which is only slightly less than Rebecca's own weight. How the bride survived the entire event in it and even managed to perform the first dance with the groom remains a mystery. By the way, the bridesmaids wore small copies of this outfit with full skirts in bright pink.
How gypsies are prepared for weddings from childhood
In Roma families, women do not work and do not have great career ambitions - this is a well-known fact. Literally from the cradle, girls are taught that their main purpose is to be a good wife and mother. That's why a wedding for a gypsy girl is practically the main event in life. They don’t skimp on it and always prepare in advance, thinking through all the little details, and trying to make the celebration unforgettable.
However, even despite these customs, Rebecca Markham's appearance was deeply etched in the memory of the guests and was able to attract the attention of journalists.
Bride's dress, earrings, necklace and tiara
Yes, yes, one cake dress seemed not enough for the girl to create the image of a real princess. To shine in the truest sense of the word, the mother of three did not ignore accessories.
The earrings and necklace literally shone in the sun, and the real tiara precisely indicated who the main heroine of the holiday was. The bridesmaids also did not stand aside; neat tiaras adorned their heads.
Rebecca later said: in order to it took her more than 20 minutes to completely put on all this splendor! And then it was quite difficult to move without helpers, so the girl was constantly accompanied.
This is how, in pursuit of the individuality of the wedding, the newlyweds surprise their guests more and more. Meanwhile, the debate about whether the celebration is worth the money spent on it continues. Everyone remains to their own opinion. But maybe this is for the better?
