My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding (MBFAGW) first aired in 2012, which happens to be the last time I had cable TV. At the time, I had a 4-year-old and a newborn, and at nap time when I should have been napping myself, I was watching MBFAGW. I am drawn to the different, anything that normal society deems as odd.
I hadn't thought of MBFAGW in five years, then I got a DirecTV Now trial, and TLC is playing MBFAGW nonstop! I had no idea it had more than one season! So, I must not be the only person partaking in this guilty pleasure. Somewhere out there other housewives are folding laundry and watching along with me. FIVE seasons have been made.
It follows Gypsy brides and grooms during wedding prep and shows the wedding and reception. I've been to a lot of weddings, but nothing like this. Everyone I have seen on MBFAGW follows the "GO BIG OR GO HOME" motto. You think you like bling? No, no you do not understand bling! You do not understand drama, you do not understand cleaning a home. HOLY BALLS! It's all kind of insane.
Gypsy brides choose insane, giant, shiny dresses. Who makes these massive glittering treasures? Sondra Celli, you can see her Gypsy Bling inspired album here. They're impressive, I'm not sure how any of them walk in them or even stay upright.
The weddings are equally extravagant, and the receptions are often drama filled. According to TLC's portrayal, Romnichels don't like each other, even with their kin are marrying one another. It seems to be a huge Hatfield and McCoys feud. There is cussing, punches, drinks, and tables thrown.
Rominchel culture is portrayed on the show much like what the stereotypical red neck is portrayed in the media. The women cook and clean, and cook and clean, and I guess somewhere in there they will pop out some babies. The men make the money, party and fight, and party and fight some more. They also marry young and don't seem to go to school beyond the age of 15 or 16.
It's awful, and I don't know why I watch it. Other than it's mindnumbing and sparkly, I like sparkly.
