There are an estimated one million Gypsies and Travellers throughout the US, but most live in complete secrecy, away from the judgement and discrimination that plague their communities. However, their lifestyles are anything but discrete - they blend traditional values with modern-day influences, resulting in weddings and other celebrations that are large, loud, and lavish. TLC will go inside their homes and attend their parties to share what it's like to be living as a Gypsy in America.
