An American wedding planner discovers the religious vacuity when she has to organize the wedding of a Californian gay couple in a small rural village in Italy.

The wedding
Actually I did misunderstand the word Vacuity. I took it to mean a vacuum, or empty. Sort of like if you call someone vacuous you are saying they are empty of thoughts.
In other words, I thought he was saying she discovered an emptiness of religion, not religious stupidity when she goes to a small town in Italy.
I guess you lean something new each day.
I believe Richiev knows the definition of vacuity. I think he's saying that it's not an accessible word in the context of this logline.
Maybe:
A religious wedding planner has to re-assess her beliefs when she is forced to travel to rural Italy and organize the wedding of a gay couple.
That said, the stakes of confronting her own religious beliefs are low and not very cinematic in my opinion.
I'm picturing this as a zany romcom? The religious aspect can be a theme but I don't know if the premise of "religious vacuity" can carry an entire script.
How about:
An uptight wedding planner is forced to travel to rural Italy and organize the wedding of a gay couple... one of whom is her ex-husband.
Okay, probably not anywhere close to your story - I was having a bit of fun - but I think you have a potentially fun premise if you can convey your wedding planner's goal/stakes/conflict/etc...
Vacuity means "inanity, stupidity, narrowness of mind"
