17YR OLD JOHN AND 14YR OLD CHEYENNE TIES KNOT AND ARE EXPECTING FIRST BABY TOGETHER

They married in March in traditional Gypsy style, with a lavish white wedding attended by hundreds of guests. And now, five months later, Cheyenne Pidgely and John McFadyen of the hit television show Big Fat Gypsy wedding are expecting their first child. 

Cheyenne, who is 20 weeks pregnant with a little girl, says she is 'over the moon' with the news. 'John can't wait to have a daddy's girl and I'm really looking forward to having a little princess. I'm going to buy her designer stuff like Louis Vuitton, Juicy Couture and Armani,' she said in an interview with Closer magazine. 

As well as designer labels, the little girl will be preened to perfection too - Cheyenne says that when her daughter turns 13, she will give her money for beauty treatments including manicures, highlights and sunbeds.

The young couple from Walton-On-Thames in Surrey met when John, then 17, 'grabbed' Cheyenne - then only 14 years old - pushed her in to the car park up against a fence and demanded she kiss him. 

This high-handed method of courtship may seem unpleasant to the uninitiated, but within the Gypsy community it is considered the norm and, despite initially rejecting John's advances, after he grabbed her again in town some weeks later, she caved in and agreed to marry him. 

'Some boys assault girls when they grab them,' she told Closer. 'They hold their arms behind their backs. I don't agree with that, but John just held me against a fence. I thought I was too young - but it worked out well in the end.'

The two married in March this year after a two-month courtship. Cheyenne had 10 bridesmaids in purple dresses, while her own dress - an enormous creation studded with thousands of Swarovski crystals - was so large she struggled to fit through the door.

She says she had four hairdressers and a make-up artist to create looks for herself and her bridesmaids on the day, and the bride and her entourage were transported to the church in a white stretch Hummer. 

With money no object -  Gypsy girls don't have a budget, she says, and her father had saved his whole life for the big day - the bride and her 300 guests enjoyed a lobster wedding breakfast.

Since the wedding, Cheyenne and John have slipped comfortably into married life. John bought Cheyenne a smart new trailer which they have parked behind her family's five bedroom house.

As befits Gypsy tradition, which dictates that newlyweds start trying for a baby right after their wedding, Cheyenne discovered she was pregnant just one month after their nuptials.

She says that when the baby comes along, the two will adopt the traditional roles for their community - John will earn the money while Cheyenne does all the cooking and cleaning. 

She says that when the baby - who they plan to call Berry-Marie, after John's grandmother and sister - is born, there will undoubtedly be a blow-the-budget christening to rival the wedding, given that religion is so important for Gypsies.

And Cheyenne - who left school with no GCSEs at 13 - says she's content for her daughter to go down the same route that she did, saying that if she wants to leave school at 13, that would be fine - because, she says, beyond learning to read and write, Gypsy girls don't need to know any more. 

Husband John says optimistically that he would like 15 children - but Cheyenne's keen to stop at five. 

'I can get all glammed up with my little princess. It's going to be so much fun.'
