“Ask anyone who’s gone through it—the first year of marriage can be tough. But imagine that you’re not just adjusting to a new life together in private—instead, you’re doing it on national television. That’s what Laura and Kirk Knight agreed to when they joined the second season of Newlyweds: The First Year, a Bravo reality series that chronicles four couples’ first 365 days of married life.”

“Through decorating disputes and a heartbreaking miscarriage, Laura and Kirk laughed, cried, and compromised on camera at their Gallery at White Flint condo and, later, at a five-bedroom home in Rockville. Four months after their last episode aired, the Knights talked with Washingtonian Bride & Groom about what it was like sharing their experiences with an audience of 722,000 viewers—and their best lessons for couples about to embark on the marriage journey themselves.” – Washingtonian Magazine
