WEDDING BELLS: One of the marriages in the show last night
A BLACKBURN bride and her incredible 27-stone wedding dress were featured on a prime-time TV show last night.
Sammy Jo Young told the producers of Channel 4’s Cutting Edge: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding that having a 20ft-long train was ‘an absolute must’.
Sammy Jo, 21, who was living at a travellers’ site in Blackburn at the time of the wedding in August last year, said many brides from the travelling community compete to have the most outrageous dresses.
Sammy Jo married childhood friend Ely, 25, at a Blackburn church.
They then held the reception for 200 people at the Pines Hotel near Chorley.
The couple, who were one of four weddings featured on the TV show, now live at a site in Preston.
