Thursday night TV at its best- My Big Fat Royal Gypsy Wedding

While everyone's gone mad for the Royal wedding, CH4 are airing an alternative tomorrow night, the marriage of Irish travellers Mary and Paddy.

The 23-year-olds, who have been together for three years, hope that their wedding will rival Kate and Wills' in the glamour stakes, but organising a wedding in three weeks its inevitable there will be tears and tantrums.


Mary commissions the famous Thelma and her team to make her dream dress complete with 40,000 crystals, the most Thelma has ever used, and an 18ft train. They work around the clock to get the dress finished and please the bride. But its the wedding cake that doesn't go quite to plan, as the cake makers struggle to find enough tables to hold the masterpiece.

On top of that, the bride arrives an hour late to the church, accompanied by her maid of honour, young sister Margaret, five other bridesmaids and two mini brides, who wear sugar pink. Bet that isn't Kate Middleton's colour choice?

The couple, who actually married a fortnight ago, are now enjoying their honeymoon.
