More terrifying than a Halloween costume is the frilly gown Missy King, a traveler, or gypsy, wore for her wedding.

The 16 year old insisted on a [big, white wedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-bridal-collection), and a £16,000 wedding dress. With its frills and midriff-bearing cut, it looks more like something you would see on Dancing With the Stars. Move over Ghetto Wedding -- there is a new kid in town.

Is is part of [gypsy culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gypsy) to “dress up” for weddings, and as you'll see from the photo gallery, the guests took part too, including one who wore a pair of £700 hotpants. Their present was £18,000 caravan, so almost the same price as the dress. Missy’s bridesmaid wore a pretty special outfit too.
