Bethenny Getting Married? was a reality television show that aired on Bravo in 2010. The series followed the life of Bethenny Frankel, a former member of the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City, as she prepared for her upcoming wedding and the birth of her first child.
In season 1, episode 2, entitled "In-laws We Trust," Bethenny dealt with the realities of merging two families together as she prepared to marry her fiancé, Jason Hoppy. Bethenny's future mother-in-law, Carol, visited the couple in their newly purchased New York City apartment to discuss wedding plans and establish a relationship with Bethenny.
While Bethenny and Jason had previously discussed their hopes for a small and intimate wedding, Carol made it clear that she wanted a larger celebration with extended family and friends. This put Bethenny in a difficult position as she didn't want to upset her future mother-in-law, but also didn't want to compromise on her vision for the wedding.
In addition to the stress of wedding planning, Bethenny also had to navigate her new relationship with her soon-to-be in-laws. She expressed concern to her friend Julie that she was unsure of how her frank and open personality would be received by Jason's family. However, after spending some time with Carol, Bethenny was pleasantly surprised to find that they had more in common than she had initially thought.
Elsewhere in the episode, Bethenny also had to deal with the struggles of being pregnant and preparing to bring a new life into her home. She and Jason had to make room in their cramped apartment for a nursery, causing tension as they struggled to find a way to make it work.
Overall, "In-laws We Trust" highlighted the difficulties that come with merging families together and dealing with the stress of wedding planning and pregnancy. It also showed Bethenny's vulnerability as she tried to navigate her new relationships with her future in-laws.
