Chantelle Kielly, an Irish Traveller teen, married her cousin Jim in a lavish wedding ceremony in Rathkeale. Hundreds of guests were invited to the extravagant event, which featured 73 best men and seven bridesmaids. The bride’s family reportedly paid a dowry of €50,000 to €120,000 to the groom’s family. Despite raising eyebrows, marrying a cousin is legal in Ireland and common within Traveller communities. The couple’s lavish wedding was featured on Channel 4’s “My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding” in Spring 2022.
