About this ebook
'I felt like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and all the other fairy-tale princesses, and Pat was my Prince Charming.'
Sam Skye Lee had often thought about getting married, but never imagined that her dress would be bright pink with flashing lights and weigh a staggering 20-stone. But then she didn't count on having a gypsy wedding...
It's rare for a 'gorger', or non-traveller, to marry into the gypsy community. But after a shocking childhood tragedy, Sam found the comfort she needed from an unxpected source - Patrick and his family of travellers.
Gypsy Bride is the heartwarming true story of how an ordinary girl finds herself discovering an extraordinary world. A place where 'grabbing' is a sign a boy fancies you, six-year-olds get spray tans, and christenings, weddings and funerals are jaw-droppingly flamboyant.
This love story is more than boy meets girl. It's about a girl who falls in love with a whole race of people and their wonderful ways.

Such a great true story that explains both the none-traveller and traveller cultures. Sam Skye Lee has written this book with a lot of confidential things in ìt, not many would do this. I think she is an amazing woman and I bow down to her. I love the taveller community and she is so lucky to find a gypsy boy like she did. 🍀 100% recommend for anyone who loves a heart warming love story between two totally different communitys.
