"Say I Do," is a rare gem amongst other current shows.
The marriage/wedding shows we typically see are about dating around, hooking up, blind/quick engagements, hot passion and drama, or something else that totally destroys the beauty of marriage and the meaningful relationships they are built upon.
This show is the opposite. It takes solid and beautiful long term relationships that have endured problems, insecurities, financial hardship, death of a family member, etc, and gives them a chance to start over... all while giving them their dream wedding.
I am sure, like most shows, it is partly staged in some areas, or scripted in others. But, the show seems real, and raw, and emotional. It is easy to find yourself cheering on the couple as they rebuild their life and love.
Outside of the topic of the show. The directing, lighting, cinematography and music are amazing! They do an amazing job of making a simple tv show feel like a grand and amazing high budget film. Great editing and timing.
Well done! I hope we get more seasons and can continue to show the splendid beauty of love and hard work in marriage.
