This video is when my mother Eileen Smith of Colchester married Leon Petulengro. They were divorced after 2 years. Neither of them were real gypsies. Father Xavier P was a friend of my grandfathers. His real name was Walter Lloyd-Smith.
They all headed out to the fields to do the true Romany wedding and do 'the BARBARIC Romany rites', that is an example of British reporting, prejudice and blatant racism.
@@richardboswell9306 Us Romanichal Gypsies are legally Egyptian/Gypsies in Scots and English Law, because that's how our ancestors first presented themselves as in England and Scotland in the early 1500s. x
The father of the bride (my mother Eileen Margaret Smith) from Colchester was my grandfather Joseph John Smith. My grandparents were not at the wedding. I have seen my mother’s cousin Edna among the onlookers.
The term "Gypsy" is disrespectful and wrong. They were treated horribly and during WWII 600,000 we killed in Concentration Camps. The proper term is Rom.
The Romany traditions and ceremonies are not much different than handfasting and jumping the broom/fire. It was almost a perfect wedding (too bad about the priest/church).
Beautiful and so romantic. 💜
Another fascinating Pathe film !! 👍
the music! though you can only hear it in the background it is really beautiful.
That was lovely
lovely
Barbaric Romany rites?! Oh please.
"and the strange romani language"...
I know ! It’s crazy how ppl didn’t think exactly the same as we do in the 1930s ! Ffs

Hello! That sounds very interesting. Why were they pretending to be Roma? I’d really love to learn about them!!
I did wonder
@@dominichenderson9549
I could write a book about it.
But another relative of the Petulengro family who lived in Spain asked me not to.
Interesting, smith is definitely a traveller surname I grew up the the smiths in Cheltenham
This is real nice stuff.

Er, this is nonsense, right? These are actors. My ancestors were Romani, Boswells. The father of bride! More like her younger brother ...

@rikboswell my nanna was a Lee and her Grandad was Randal Lee brother of Rainie who married a Boswell.
My grandpa is Romanichal if you watch this on mute it's beautiful. Racist commentary.
This is a not real, it's a movie
Are you real. Go back to sleep
@@billcooney945 your off your trolley if you actually think this is real

Plenty of romanical are fine with gypsy. You don't speak for them
In England we are fine with the word Gypsy 👍

Our traditions are far older. x
Nice movie 😂😂😂😂 lol ...... but its fake. Romani people don't do this . ❤from Indian 🇮🇳 living in Europe
You're Indian, not Romani
Yes, I am not Romani. I am Swedish but North Indian origin. Romani's don't cut their finger and mix their blood 😂😂😂 that's why I said it's fake.
