‘Return to Amish’: Fannie Schmucker Feels Out of Place
Fannie Schmucker feels out of place on Return to Amish. She heads to the beach for the first time. But quickly notices she’s not in the proper clothing.
Return to Amish: Fannie Schmucker’s First Beach Experience
Fannie Schmucker left her strict community after her fiancé told her Bishop that she had a cellphone. The Return to Amish cast member knew they would shun her if she didn’t leave. So, she caught a ride with Maureen Miller to Florida to experience the modern world.
Jeremiah Raber feels that there is too much tension in the house. So, he takes Fannie and the other newcomers to the beach for the first time.
Fannie Schmucker thinks the beach is “so awesome.” The sound, smell, and feel of the ocean are something she has never experienced before. She believes the sand looks like snow. She even finds it weird that it looks like the water is touching the sky.

Fannie feels “so happy” to see the ocean. The Return to Amish celeb could have cried. Seeing the water made her feel “so free” and relaxed.
Johnny Detweiler has the same feelings as Fannie. He thinks being at the beach is “really nice.” The TLC celeb loves that there is so much water.
He explains that back in Pennsylvania, there are streams and rivers. There are also lakes. But you can see the other side of a lake. However, the ocean, you can’t see the end of it. Kenneth Detweiler feels that it’s a “pretty awesome experience” enjoying the water.
Fannie Stands Out at the Beach
Fannie Schmucker feels that everyone is looking at them because they aren’t in bathing suits. She thinks that people are saying they “look weird.”
Fannie explains that some people she saw at the beach were “pretty much wearing nothing.” Being Amish, the TLC star has to dress modestly and not show too much skin.

The Amish don’t wear swimsuits. So, the Return to Amish castmates all feel out of place wearing their clothes into the ocean.
However, Daniel Miller agrees with Fannie. He thinks they should change out of their Amish clothes so people will stop looking at them. The other newcomers believe that’s a good idea. They want to blend in more.
Return to Amish Celeb Explains Clothing
Kenneth Detweiler asks Daniel Miller what he thinks about seeing girls wear bikinis. Daniel likes it. He feels it’s his type of beach. He has already gone on a first date with an English girl.
However, Kenneth doesn’t feel the same way. The TLC star isn’t focusing on getting to know girls in the English world. His eyes are on his basketball career. He wants to be the first Amish college basketball player.
Yet, their beach attire gets attention from a beachgoer. A lady comes up to the Return to Amish cast members and asks about their outfits. She asks if it is for religious reasons.
Johnny Detweiler explains that this is how their Bishop tells them to dress. But will Fannie Schmucker and the other cast members ditch their Amish clothes to blend into the English world?
