Do you tag this woman to be your unlawful Big Fat Gypsy wife? Traveller bride customises ankle bracelet into blue garter for wedding day

A Big Fat Gypsy Weddings star who had been ordered to wear an electronic ankle tag wed in a church ceremony today - and blinged up her ankle tag for the occasion. 
Barbara McFadyen, from Feltham in Middlesex, glued blue diamanté gems to the grey plastic device, embellishing it and covering the something blue element of the traditional wedding ritual in the process. 
Something blue: As gypsy bride Barbara McFadye arrived at the church to marry Malachy Cash today in the back of a pick-up truck, her electronic ankle tag was clearly visible - decorated with blue gemstones for the occasion

While barely visible when the bride was standing, the tag was revealed when the bride sat down

It is not clear what events led to Miss McFadyen being ordered to wear the device, but seemingly untroubled by its prominence, she lay back in the yellow pick up truck that took her to the wedding, kicking her tagged leg in the air as she enjoyed the ride to nearby St Lawrence's church. 
 
There, she posed for further photographs in a pose that revealed her tag to the gathered crowds, giving them one last glimpse of the device before she entered the church to meet her groom.
Miss McFadyen, who married Malachy Cash in today's ceremony, first showed off her ingenious way with a glue gun and coloured gemstones at a Gypsy wedding last Friday. 
For the lavish nuptials of Cheyenne Pidgeley and Michael McFadyen in Surrey last Friday, Miss McFadyen chose to match the gems on her ankle tag to her bright pink dress.
