But Dad still has the last say, Mary Anne, whether she is married or not. This is merely more of the Gypsy tradition.
The bride's family presented a dowry worth tens of thousands of dollars, the wedding feast included suckling pigs and thousands of bottles of wine, and the bride's Italian wedding gown cost $4,000.
Her father arranged for a horse-drawn carriage to carry the bridal couple through the city of Sibiu, 190 miles northwest of Bucharest.
``This is a happy day for the royal household,'' Florin Cioaba, 39, said before the ceremony. ``My youngest daughter is getting married.''
Yes, the marriage will procede, as Ana Maria was well aware, and as she was prepared to follow through with. the only reason this made the papers and previous marriages did not was the prestige of the family, and the fact that the bride was having tantrums. Other than that, it was a Gypsy wedding like any other.
