- LOOKING FOR ENGAGED OR NEWLYWED COUPLE

The highly acclaimed MTV documentary series Real Life is working on a show
about Newlyweds - what an opportunity to get the message about marriage
education to our most important target audience!!

The producers are looking for an engaged, soon-to-be-married couple who is
planning on attending a premarital education class.  The couple cannot be
older than 26.  The focus will be on understanding the adjustments and
compromises it takes to make a marriage work.  They'd prefer an engaged
couple, but will consider newlyweds - up to six months post-wedding.  The
setting can be faith-based, secular, military - whatever helps illustrate
the period of adjustment and challenges newlyweds face.

They are NOT looking for experts though if experts are part of the process,
they would be included.  For example, if they're filming a couple taking a
class, the instructors might end up in the final film; if they're filming a
couple discussing a premarital inventory, the expert might be included, and
so on.
