About Family or Fiancé

"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."
