Gosh, apparently there are loads more.
And here's the bride, from Facebook
She’s a boxer, too:

Jaqq, mill-bidu sa’ l-ahhar.
I am sorry to say that the word ‘jaqq’ is very out of place.
Sad yes, and pitiful also, but not jaqq. Never jaqq. That expression betrays sheer bigotry.
These are probably very nice Maltese men and women with their own mores and folkways.
I have come across thousands of them in a career lasting half a century.
It never ever even crossed my mind to think of them in terms of jaqq.
Maybe jahasra and msieken. That is all.
I agree – I wouldn’t call them jahasra or msieken either because that presumes my way of life is absolutely better than theirs. It isn’t.
It may be for me but their way of life appears to make them happy. No one should look down on anyone.
Amen.
hekk ikun.
Unbelievable. Was the bridal party going to a funeral? It seemed anything but a joyous occasion judging from their set, grim expressions.
And I’m getting a bit confused. The bride’s father looked suspiciously like the bridegroom.
Did you see the groom slapping on the Tal-Lira aftershave? And the candles besides what is presumably the Wedding Nite Bed?
And does the groom have a son with the same hairstyle, MiniMe like? Who ARE these people?
I didn’t realise that you were allowed to marry your brother in Malta.
The Daily Mail today uploaded a piece about how human beings are wired to expose themselves visually, because finding a mate was and is still a powerful way of ensuring the survival of one’s lineage.
Mill- libsa tal- “brajz” ghamlu anki il-bedsprett.
Apparently they like to be original when it comes to names.
Andhis hairstyle is so ingenious that it just had to be passed on to the next generation.

I can understand a boxer wanting to look the part with such a “tough-looking” hairstyle, but why anyone would want to inflict such a style on their toddlers completely defies my imagination.
I remember the couple. I believe they had appeared on Xarabank about tattoos or something. They had appeared at the same time as Robert Galea, “the singing priest” ( http://thatsworship.com/about ), and I remember thinking what an odd combination of guests it was.

Have you seen part 9 on YouTube?
THIS is the underclass.
Anzi mhux Dione Jo, bhal Byon Jo, jismu.
Probabbli ghandhom misluta hemm iself ukoll.
Pre-wedding OK but viewers may now be tottering on the brink of sin … though I doubt how many would even covet the wife, let alone go the whole way.

Delaoya and Davfyon!
Is it like, “Ghandi dawn it-tnejn imma flus ghal wiehed. Ara daqsxejn kif tqassam naqa’ bejniethom”?
They don’t seem to be poor people financially (neither rich), but poor in another way.

[Daphne – This is her third new baby and she’s still washing his face and eyes with the same water and sponge that she uses to wash his nether regions. Tal-ghageb.]
I simply cannot understand this family. There’s Nilson, Azaloya, Dealoya and Davfyon. Then there are the parents, uploading videos whilst doing tattoos, washing the kids, styling their childrens’ hair, etc. The children have a punch-bag already.

Oh yes, very bright idea.
Let’s all tell the tough looking boxer what ugly names his children have, what a stupid hair cut he gave them, and that his wife is jaqq.
Genius level:Infinite.
I happen to know the groom and actually he is a very decent chap and a very nice person.
He is a boxer and has his own boxing gym.
He is also somewhat fanatic of video clips and tends to film anything and post it on Youtube. Admittedly their tastes and choices could be dubious to some but if they do not hurt anyone, they are not causing a problem.
We were all born different and thank God for that and what is classy and wonderful to someone might be totally unacceptable to another but this does not necessarily make this other a bad person.
Yes. he seems to be a decent chap and seems to love his children, which is a great thing, but why give them strange names and haircuts not fit for 2 year olds?
Daphne, I am a fan of your particular brand of journalism. However, I fail to understand why this couple should be of any relevance to your readers. Granted, they are not exactly mainstream, but hey, if there lifestyle works for them, why not? It should not be anyone’s business to judge their way of life.
[Daphne – I imagine that it’s precisely because they want others to look at and discuss them that they have uploaded 1,000+ videos on YouTube, documenting most aspects of their lives. I am happy to oblige.]
Delaoya is probably named after the famous boxer Oscar De La Hoya (silent H in Spanish)
Daphne, I am really curious what are your thoughts about this Gozitan couple’s wedding photo:

This is John Magro’s son. Everybody likes what the Magro brothers have achieved in export for Malta. Even our highest authorities.
[Daphne – That’s right.]
