Arranged is a reality TV show that follows three couples as they move through the arranged marriage process. In season 1, episode 1, Happily Ever Arranged?, we meet the three couples: Ragini and Veeral, Christian and Maria, and Meghan and Josh.

The episode begins with each couple introducing themselves and explaining why they have decided to enter into an arranged marriage. Ragini and Veeral are a traditional Indian couple who have been set up by their families. Christian and Maria are from very different cultural backgrounds and have decided to embrace an arranged marriage as a way to bring their families together. Finally, Meghan and Josh are both from Orthodox Jewish families and have decided to let their families take the reins in finding them a partner.

Throughout the episode, we see each couple meet with their respective matchmakers and begin to get to know each other. For Ragini and Veeral, this means meeting for dinner with their families present. After the initial awkwardness, they begin to hit it off and end up bonding over their love of basketball. Christian and Maria meet alone for the first time and quickly realize how much they have in common, including their love of music and dance. Meghan and Josh meet through a shadchan (a traditional Jewish matchmaker) and begin their relationship by playing a round of Jewish geography to find out how they are connected.

Despite the initial nerves and awkwardness, each couple begins to see potential in their arranged matches. However, not everyone in their lives is supportive of the decision to enter into an arranged marriage. Meghan’s sister expresses concern about the lack of physical attraction in their relationship, while Christian’s mother worries that an arranged marriage will prevent him from finding true love. Despite this, each couple seems to be willing to give it a shot and see where their relationships go.

As the episode comes to a close, each couple begins to talk about their hopes and expectations for the future. Ragini and Veeral seem excited about the prospect of building a life and family together, while Christian and Maria are hoping to use their marriage as a way to bridge cultures. Meghan and Josh seem to be the most cautious of the three couples, with Josh expressing concerns about the lack of chemistry between them.

Overall, Happily Ever Arranged? sets the stage for an interesting and compelling season of television. As we watch these three couples navigate the challenges and triumphs of arranged marriages, we are forced to question our own assumptions and biases about love and relationships. Whether or not these couples will succeed in their unions remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that their journeys will be both entertaining and thought-provoking.
