So I may be taking the title of this song too literally, since I am a writer myself, but this is what I grew to think of what the song is about.
As a writer, I constantly imagine myself in different situations and think about how I or the character who I am trying to write would react in that type of a situation.
So this is about a guy who suddenly gets an idea in his mind that his wife is cheating on him. So he gets paranoid and starts to imagine if the rumors became true, hence why at the beginning he says, "Oh well, imagine, as I am pacing the pews of a church corridor and I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words."
He imagined the conversation and you see how he feels about the situation as he screams at them to mind their own business and thinks about confronting his wife. But he quickly shakes off these feelings, knowing he has no evidence and saying that he needs to face the situation with composure. If his theory does hold up to be true, he won't let it affect him that much. It would be a story of sin, not a tragedy.
The rest of the song is him going through the wedding trying to convince himself that if his rumors were true, she wouldn't be marrying him right? ("Well I'll look at it this way I mean technically our marriage is saved.") And him trying not to cause a scene.
The rest is up to the imagination whether or not she is truly cheating on him...but he is prepared if she is.

From one writer to another, I think your meaning is completely legit.
