Engaged, Underage and Totally Freaking AWESOME

Because every good show on TV ended about 6 weeks ago, I have been in a TV drought. If it weren’t for my DVR recording old episodes of 90210 when I am at work, I would have nothing to watch after a long day at the office. And since I am boring and old, my life revolves around TV.

Thank God, then, for my peeps over at MTV for bringing back only the best show of all time: Engaged and Underage. I have been waiting months for its return and tonight’s show reminded me of everything I was missing. I am still shaking from the excitement of it all.

For those of you who are not familiar with the show (and you should be ashamed of yourselves for missing this gem of quality programming), Engaged and Underage is another brilliant reality series on MTV that trails young couples on their way to marital bliss. Some are super religious teens who just want to get laid, some are young moms looking to cleanse their souls and still others are naïve kids thinking that marriage is better than one-night stands and walks of shame.

In the end it doesn’t matter; they are all making HUGE mistakes.

Anyways, last night we met Aussie (20) and Jason (19) who love each other so so so so so so much. He is a mumbling idiot in a heavy metal band called Malicious Slaughter, which just screams (literally) sentimental/sweet boy. She likes Indie music and that’s really all we know about her.

Both claim they love each other and are more than mature enough to sustain a long and loving marriage.

And nothing says “mature” and “love” like a mosh pit at your wedding. Or the fact that your guests came wearing gym shorts and tuxedo jackets. Or when the bride goes to get her hair done for the wedding and says, “Our colors are black, white and red so I want all those colors in my hair.” And comes out with some blonde/black/maroon mess on her head.

Oh God the whole thing was just so awesome.

I can’t wait for next week’s couple; I think there is a baby involved!!
