ARRANGED is a one-hour reality series that follows three couples from different cultural backgrounds who have one thing in common -- the belief in arranged marriages. From a young Romani gypsy couple in New York City, to a southern couple from the Bible belt, to a couple raised by traditional Eastern Indian parents living in Los Angeles, these brides and grooms don't just marry each other, their unions include their entire family. This series chronicles each couple's relationship from the lead-up to their weddings, to the several months after the reality of married life sinks in. For some, it's tough to give up their independence and their new roles as husband and wife prove to be more than they bargained for. Pregnancy scares, money concerns and overprotective parents add even more stress to an already overwhelming situation.
