The document describes potential locations for filming a wedding trailer, including an open door church and reception hall, and an alternative Catholic church. The open door church is the intended primary location, with red doors and decor symbolizing love and passion for the wedding. However, circumstances require changing locations. The alternative St. Ignatius Catholic church has an old, rustic appearance that is in stark contrast to the non-traditional shotgun wedding being portrayed, helping establish it is wrong or fake. The reception hall also provides opportunities for symbolism through its childish decorations mocking a proper wedding.
