The "happy couple" celebrates their wedding, inviting you to be their guest, but not every guest at this reception believes that "happy" is an ever fixed mark.
Your logline is the overall logline for a web-series, so it might not fit in this logline template, but your pilot logline and your episode loglines can fit in the template:
"After ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the protagonist with an adjective) tries/attempts to _______ (goal of story) so ________ (stakes)."
Loglines are one or two sentences (a one-sentence logline sounds better and it takes less time for a producer, director, etc. to read it). You can add the antagonist in the logline. The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline.
Example #1:
"After a group of dog criminals arrives in a small town, an impulsive dog sheriff defends a dog treat factory so they won't steal food that's meant for hungry dog families."
Example #2:
"A dysfunctional couple works together to survive against bears after they crash on an abandoned road miles from help."

thanks for the rating. I am trying to figure out what I want to say. I feel close, but not quite yet.
"TO THE HAPPY COUPLE" sounds unique, Stephanie McNutt.

You can check out my Animation kids' show to see how I wrote the overall logline and the pilot logline: https://www.stage32.com/profile/811418/Screenplay/Fantasy-Stories

This is helpful as I was trying to get a hold of the series aspect for the log line. This is the insight I needed.
