Ep 6. Gorger Parents Fight Back

In My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding season 6 episode 6 titled "Gorger Parents Fight Back", viewers get a glimpse into the cultural differences and tensions between gypsies and non-gypsies, also known as "gorgers". The episode follows two couples as they navigate these issues while planning their weddings.

The first couple, 20-year-old gypsy bride-to-be Kandace and her non-gypsy fiancé Shannon, are facing resistance from Kandace's traditional parents who are hesitant to accept a gorger into their family. Shannon and Kandace have been together for four years and have a three-year-old son together, but her parents worry that their daughter is abandoning her culture by marrying a non-gypsy. Kandace's mother even goes as far as to say that gypsies and gorgers are "like oil and water, they don't mix."

As Kandace tries to bridge the gap between her parents and Shannon, she faces pushback from her community as well. In the gypsy culture, marrying outside of the community is often frowned upon and can lead to ostracization. It's a delicate balance for Kandace as she tries to honor her family and cultural traditions while also following her heart.

The second couple, gypsy bride-to-be Katrina and her gorger fiancé Tyler, also face opposition from Katrina's family. They worry that Tyler won't be able to provide for their daughter in the same way that a gypsy man would. Tyler works as an electrician and doesn't have the same flashy lifestyle as some of Katrina's gypsy suitors, which makes her family doubt his commitment.

As Tyler tries to prove himself to Katrina's family, he also has to navigate the intricacies of gypsy wedding traditions. One of the most important parts of a gypsy wedding is the dress, which can cost a small fortune. As Tyler and Katrina shop for the perfect gown, they are met with sticker shock. Tyler worries that they won't be able to afford a dress that meets gypsy standards, but Katrina is determined to have her dream wedding.

Throughout the episode, viewers see the tension and drama that can arise when two cultures collide. However, at the heart of both stories is the love between two people who are willing to fight for each other and their relationship. My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding season 6 episode 6 is a poignant reminder that love knows no cultural bounds, but that it sometimes requires a lot of work to bring people together.
