Amish at the Altar

In an age when online dating and reality TV abound, Amish romance looks anything but modern. Three couples — two Amish and one ex-Amish — open their private lives to NGC and share the traditions underlying courtship, engagement and marriage in Amish culture. From Rumspringa, the once-in-a-lifetime experience of a world outside the fold, to an intensive 18-week period of church evaluation that would test any couple’s commitment, NGC cameras capture the details as the community prepares for the highly anticipated weddings.
