Staff Reporter –
Are you currently in the process of arranging the marriage of a son, daughter or someone close to you?
Perhaps you are the bride or bridegroom getting ready for matrimony, arranged by your parents, elders or caregivers.
If the answer is ‘Yes,’ then an upcoming new series on TV3 would interest you.
New Series
‘Notable Pictures’ is producing the eight-part series focusing on traditional, arranged marriages or semi-arranged betrothals.
Researcher Nicole Wood said that the company is looking for couples who are about to embark on a life together.
“It might be in the lead up to their engagement ceremony or wedding, or when they, along with their families, are beginning the search for a suitable spouse. It could also be their fiancé is moving from overseas to settle here or they are going back to their homeland to get engaged or married,” she said.
Celebrating diversity
According to her, the series is about celebrating the wonderful, rich and unique aspects of traditional cultural arranged weddings and New Zealand’s increasing ethnic diversity.
“The couples could be from Indian, Pakistani, Fijian, Afghani, South East Asian, Sri Lankan, and African backgrounds and from any number of religions, including Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, and Sikh,” Ms Wood said.
Filming will continue until the end of April 2016.
