Another troll asked: “Is this a joke?”
A fourth added: “Ridiculous is the word that comes to mind.”
Traditions in the Gypsy/Traveler communities
Nomadic lifestyle: Traditionally, many travellers have adopted a nomadic lifestyle, living in caravans and moving frequently. This mobility is a core aspect of their identity, reflecting a deep connection to freedom and independence.
Strong family ties: Family is central to traveler culture. Extended families often live and travel together, creating a strong support network. Weddings and social events are important community events that strengthen family ties.
Plain language: Many travellers speak Shelta, also known as Cant or Gammon, a distinct language that combines elements of Irish, English and other languages. This language serves as a cultural marker and a means of private communication within the community.
Religious practices: The Traveller community often follows Roman Catholicism, with religious festivals and milestones such as baptisms, communions and weddings being particularly important. However, individual beliefs and customs can vary widely.
Unique parties: Events such as horse fairs and traditional weddings are important social gatherings for travelers. These occasions are characterized by elaborate preparations, vibrant clothing, and communal participation.
Others took issue with the fact that the background of the photo was the sign for the Hilton DoubleTree hotel.
Someone said, “DoubleTree by Hilton is just in the background of all the photos!”
Another said: “I’m sorry, but I laughed at DoubleTree.
“That looks like a Dollar Tree sign in the back. No offense.”
Still, many people like to compliment girls on their appearance.
One person said: “Simply stunning and beautiful.”
Another said: “Just like a princess.”
