Romantic Wedding Ceremony Script

Many couples are searching for a romantic wedding ceremony script, but what is romance? And how can we reimagine romance so that it’s not a set up for false expectations and despair-inducing disappointment?

Most of us have been conditioned to think of romance as a ride-off-into-the-sunset fairy tale forever. An idealized (yet static) version of something we have seen a million times on the big screen and beyond. It’s the romantic equivalent of a perpetual 70 degrees and sunny. It’s the porn equivalent of love - a synthetic substitute that always makes you feel as if you’re getting it wrong and falling short.

And it is a damn cruel set up, because we’ve been taught to think that the glamor and opulence and curated perfection are what a marriage is supposed to be, and when it isn’t that, we internalize it as failure.

So how can we change the narrative and reimagine what happens after the wedding?

Fairytales (and marriages) are not all rainbows and sunsets, and pretending that they are makes us feel split between what we think marriage should be, and what it actually is. (And what is it? For starters, it’s lot more nuanced and dimensional!)

This is some of the territory we cover in our romantic wedding ceremony script, aptly titled "Happily Ever After Reimagined."

Why is it romantic? Because true romance is real, and it doesn't need a plastic narrative to be sexy!
