The $200,000 white wedding for the 16-year-old girl who lives in a trailer.

What Daddy ' s little girl wants, Daddy ' s little girl gets.
So when Missy Quinn insisted on a big white wedding with her boyfriend, her father said YES. It didn ' t matter that she was only 16 and the groom 17.

Daddy also said yes to a $32,000 wedding dress (which looked suspiciously like a crop top and skirt) and yes to 150 guests at the reception. Then there were the cars, the hotels, the tiara and the $10000 bouquet!

Check out the belly-ring ... it matches her earrings! So sophisticated.
In the end, making Missy ' s wedding dreams come true cost her father - who lives in a trailer and surfaces driveways for a living - a whopping $200,000! But as his princess, who hasn ' t been in a classroom since she was nine and wants to be a glamour model (good luck), posed for photographs, her father Simon, 35, declared it was worth every penny. ' I ' m very proud of her today, ' he said.

Missy was just happy to be the undisputed centre of attention.
Her dress, studded with Swarovski crystals, and with a 10 ft. wide train, was so heavy that it took ten guests to help her struggle out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom that brought her to the church.

Missy with groom Thomas Moghon, 17, her mother Theresa (who, it seems, forgot to wear a top ...) and father Simon.

' It was huge. I wanted to outdo everyone else ' s wedding dress, ' she said. ' It was extremely heavy and just standing in the church was really difficult. But despite all that, I felt just like Cinderella. '

The bill was around five times the cost of the average wedding.

Missy said: ' It cost a fortune, but I ' ve always wanted a big wedding and my dad has been saving for ages to pay for it. '

Missy met Thomas at Alton Towers Theme park when she was 13. They continued to date despite her traveller family leaving their trailer park in Stoke-on-Trent every summer to tour the UK while Thomas lived with his parents in Wolverhampton .
Missy said: ' I just knew he was The One from the beginning. He ' s perfect. '

Her mother Theresa, 33, who married Missy ' s father at 16, said: ' I was surprised they wanted to get married so young in this day and age. But we could see they were madly in love. '

The couple married six days after Missy turned 16 at St Mary ' s Catholic Church in Congleton-Cheshire.

The bride carried a chrystal bouquet that cost $100000! No fresh flowers for her.

After the ceremony, guests in feathers and crystals enjoyed champagne and an all-day buffet at the reception. Girls as young as nine showed off bikini tops, high heels and make-up. It was a classy affair.
Guest Victoria Docherty, 23, who wore a £700 hotpants and bra outfit, said: ' This isn ' t unusual - it ' s just what we do at weddings. It ' s all very extravagant. Everything is paid for by the bride ' s daddy. '

Missy and Thomas honeymooned in Turkey before moving into their own $36,000 trailer - a wedding gift from her parents.
