The teaser shows exchanges between Catherine and Heathcliff. It features a wedding image that was discussed online after filming. It uses the track Everything Is Romantic by Charli XCX to pace the cuts and tone. The teaser shows Catherine reflecting as Heathcliff pledges to follow her, and includes a scene where Elordi asks:
“Do you want me to stop?”
Robbie replies to this, saying “No.”
