Big Fat Gypsy Weddings (2011)
Grabbing is a controversial ritual practiced by some Irish Traveller men as a way of expressing their affection. They grab the girls in hopes to stake a romantic claim. In the flashback featured in the clip below, Cheyenne is visually upset after the grab but then quickly changes her tune when she realizes that it was "love at first grab." Described as the best thing that ever happened to her, Cheyenne is ready to say "I do" to John and start a traditional supersized gypsy family of their own.

    An ugly mix
    This series is an ugly mix of Christian medieval dogma and Roma stereotypes all blended nicely for a quite racist audience's confirmation bias.
