Family or Fiancé(2019)

Before they say "I do," they'll need a "yes" from their families.

TMDB Rating: 8.5 (2 votes)

Overview

"Family or Fiancé" follows the dynamics between engaged couples who bring their disapproving families together under one roof. The families only spend 3 days with each other, and the clock is ticking as the couples decide if they're going to tie the knot. It's a no-holds-barred look at what it's really like when the people closest to you have major issues with the one you want to marry. Serving as the voice of reason is relationship expert Tracy McMillan, who helps the couple confront their families' concerns. She works with the newly engaged couple on ways to strengthen their bond, air their differences and reveal their true selves to their families, for better or worse. At the end of the third and final day, the families are given their chance to speak now or forever hold their peace leaving the couple to make the ultimate choice — "I do" or "I don't."

The Family
N/A

The Family

1974

The Family was a 1974 BBC television series made by producer Paul Watson, and directed by Franc Roddam. It was a fly-on-the-wall documentary series, seen by many as the precursor to reality television. It was similar to an American documentary which had aired the previous year in 1973, called An American Family. It followed the working-class Wilkins family of six of Reading, through their daily lives, warts and all, and culminated in the marriage of one of the daughters, which was plagued by fans and paparazzi alike. The show was the basis for two parodies: Monty Python's Flying Circus, in their very last episode which aired 5 December 1974, featured a sketch called "The Most Awful Family in Britain 1974"; and Benny Hill, on one of his 1975 specials, did a takeoff called "That Family." Margaret re-married and became Margaret Sainsbury; she died of a reported heart attack in Berkshire on 10 August 2008, aged 73. The format was revived in 2008.
