EXT. GARDEN - DAY
The scene is set in a beautiful garden, adorned with blooming flowers and softly swaying trees. A decorated archway stands at the center, flanked by chairs filled with eagerly awaiting guests. Soft instrumental music plays in the background, creating a serene atmosphere.
CUT TO: THE OFFICIANT
The officiant stands beneath the archway, holding a small booklet. They smile warmly at the guests and then glance up, watching the bride and groom prepare to make their entrance.
CUE: BRIDE PROCESSIONAL
The music changes to a gentle processional tune as the bride walks down the aisle, escorted by a parent. The groom stands at the front, eyes fixed on the bride, his expression full of love and anticipation.
CUT TO: THE BRIDE AND GROOM
They take their places beneath the archway, facing each other and holding hands. The officiant steps forward, smiling at the couple and the gathered guests.
