George Clooney, Amal Alamuddin set for 'Big Fat Gypsy' style wedding

London, May 1 (ANI):

George Clooney is set to marry his fiancee Amal Alamuddin in a "Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" style bash, it has been revealed.

Sources claimed that as Alamuddin is from Lebanon, where marriage customs include huge meringue-shaped dresses, big hair, bling and belly dancers, the couple's ceremony will be like a showy gypsy wedding, the Daily Star reported.

He 36-year-old lawyer plans to have her hair in ringlets and her bridal gown might outshine the hooped and jewelled creations of gypsy dress designer Thelma Madine.  Sources said that the 'Up In the Air' star's wedding will be blingier than what people saw in 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding', while Alamuddin's dress will be blingier than ever.

Insiders also said that there will be enough food at the wedding to feed the whole town and there will also be belly-dancers. (ANI)

I think you are thinking of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".  Big Fat Gypsy Wedding is a tv show that takes the same idea into the bizarro world.

In very general, it's got to be big.  The bigger the better.  Huge is better still.  The more people at the wedding, then the more prestigious it is.  Loads of food - and in general quantity counts over quality although of course a good quantity of high quality is top trumps.  Generally lots of dancing.  Generally very loud music.  Generally runs until very late at night. 'My big fat greek wedding' is actually a pretty good starting point although of course the details vary.
