One of tonights monstrosities
The pink taffeta creation had 24 petticoats and an 8ft train. It was embellished with mechanical butterflies on the bodice and UV lights in the veil, all powered by 12 batteries stowed under the petticoat.
Sam would not disclose how much her family spent on the dress, because 'gypsies don't talk about money', but admits it cost 'thousands'.
'I had to bandage my body with padding before I put it on, yet it still cut my waist and bruised my ribs,' she revealed.
'Because I couldn't go to the toilet I didn't drink anything all day - except for the toast when I had a pint of Dirty Vimto [a double port mixed with alcopops]'
If you think this sounds like a health and safety disaster, it probably was. The dress designer, Thelma took a fire extinguisher to the reception just in case.
'We weren't sure if it was safe,' she said.
