Big FAT Gypsy wedding OR IS IT?

I was watching Big FAT Gypsy wedding, a series from the UK.

As I watched the the show, the stories about the families and traditions were shared. All you had to do was change their skin colours -actually no need as they love excessive spray tans BUt you did need to 'desify' their names and I swear there was something so familiar about their  practises.

1. They marry young
2. Their marriages are somewhat arranged
3. Women are primarily raised to be 'homemakers'
4. They have their own dress style
5. They always have massive weddings and parties
6. Image is one of the most important traits of the women
7. Every party has to be BIGGER and better than the last
8. What the community thinks is important
9. Reputation is everything!!
10. Very few people marry outside of their culture

Sound familiar?
