Plot Synopsis

BRIDE & PREJUDICE is a one-hour reality series that follows three couples who desperately want to get married, but whose prejudiced family members do not approve of their unions. Bringing each other's families together may be challenging, but for these couples approval is necessary before walking down the aisle. As they announce their engagements and meet the in-laws, emotions run high, revealing the difficulties each couple must deal with along the way. Against all odds and in the face of bigotry, these couples aim to prove that their relationship has what it takes to build the foundation for a long lasting marriage.


The Season 1 couples are:

- Lou & Chris: Chris and Lou met while working together as flight attendants. It started as a friendship but quickly grew stronger once they realized that their connection was unique and powerful. Lou's mother has always accepted and supported the couple; however Chris struggles with his parent's acceptance. His mom has finally come around to be excited for the engagement, but his father remains uncomfortable with Chris' sexuality.

- Adam & Briana: After an online dating misconnection, Briana and Adam accidentally met at a restaurant one year later. Sparks flew, and they were engaged six months later in the same location. Briana and Adam face adversity as an interracial couple and name calling not only from perfect strangers, but from their own family members. Because both sides of each family hold such prejudice views, the couple fears that their wedding could lead to a disastrous clash.

- Eugene & Samantha: When Eugene proposed to Samantha, they had been together just over a year. The couple is of different faiths -- Samantha was raised Christian and Eugene was raised Jewish. Unlike Samantha, Eugene always felt a strong connection to his religion, and they have decided to raise their three month old son, Nathan in a multi-faith household with an emphasis on Judaism. Eugene's mother and brother are strongly opposed to their relationship.
