My Teenage Wedding

My Teenage Wedding is a Canadian reality television series broadcast on Slice.[1][2] Viewers follow producers "behind the scenes of Canada's teen weddings, following teenage couples as they leap headfirst into a very adult world of matrimony. When the big day approaches, the teen brides-and-grooms-to-be soon come to realize that marriage isn't as simple as saying 'I do'."[3] The show premiered on May 31, 2012 and covers the weddings of teenagers from various different lifestyles.[4] The first season had twelve episodes and concluded on January 31, 2013. Hashtag Gay Wedding received attention for being about same sex marriage. The couple in the episode, David Harris and Tre'Darrius Anderson, was described as possibly being "America's youngest black gay married couple."[5][6][7][8][9]

"Everyone thinks they're too young to get married, but they don't care! Convinced that their love is forever, these teens will stop at nothing to walk down the aisle."[3] "From touching moments, to outrageous meltdowns, this exciting...series follows their journey from teenage romance to grown up commitment as they discover that it's a bumpy road to happily ever after."[10]

Some parents worried that the show could be "cashing in on the vulnerabilities of young love and could negatively impact youth audiences."[11]
