Goodbye Big Fat Gypsy Weddings!

Feeling a sudden and aching void in my life! Tuesday saw the last in the series of the ridiculously addictive "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding". The show was a massive hit, apparently it pulled in more viewings than the Brit Awards did! Which I honestly don't find hard to believe. I did have to record the Brits because I couldn't bare the thought of not watching the last in the series of BFGW! Sad? I know, I know.

Why is this show so addictive though??? I mean you hear of some people who watch it just to laugh at the poor brides, and admittedly there have been a fair amount of OMG moments in this series but secretly I think I envy these girls.

Don't you just hate it but love it.

Hate it because you know that their dress is 10 times bigger and 10 times more expensive than you know yours will ever be. Hate it because they get their dream dress hand made. Hate it because there are none of these wedding rules or conventions. Hate it because that castle cake is exactly what you dreamed of when you were 6/7 and the only world you knew was Disney?

But.....love it because you get to see what the 6 year old you dreamt up as a wedding. Isn't this what we were all imagining when we married our "boyfriends" in the playground at primary school with our daisy chain rings, hoard of bridesmaids and probably a wedding a week? Or is that just my school that done that........

Admittedly when I marry I'm hoping for an elegant affair, maybe somewhere hot, relaxed with a Sangria in hand but I think I'm not alone in saying that I'll be walking down that aisle wishing I did look like a Disney bride.

Here's to the next series, lets hope its even more over the top and I'm praying it starts a trend!
