\nTwo days before the world shut down, I signed on to a trilogy of movies with Hallmark. We were supposed to start filming them in April 2020\u2026which of course did not happen as the world scrambled to make sense of our new reality. A lot of hard work and logistics and sacrifices went into getting this ship back in the water, which finally happened one year later. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n
In particular, Reeser\u2019s film The Wedding Unveiled<\/em> is set in Italy and was partially filmed in Italy, which I\u2019m sure added a whole layer of \u201chow are we going to get this done?\u201d to the production. It sounds like it took a year for schedules to open up and logistics to be worked out.\u00a0<\/p>\nMeanwhile, in general Hallmark films as a whole were honestly among the first productions to be able to come back online with rigorous Covid safety protocols in place in 2020. The network\u2019s stars and crews adhered to strict quarantine rules and even filmed in \u201cpods\u201d in order to make productions work. If that hadn’t happened who knows where the movies would still be?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, it took a while to make The Wedding Veil<\/em>, The Wedding Unveiled<\/em> and The Wedding Veil Legacy<\/em> happen. They were supposed to film in April of 2020. It\u2019s been nearly two years since then and the trilogy is just airing in full for the first time this month. While we got a sneak peek at Chabert\u2019s flick last month — and she shared a special look at a detail she added you can look out for — after re-airing airing tonight, The Wedding Unveiled<\/em> will premiere next week with the third movie heading to the schedule on February 19th.\u00a0<\/p>\nIf you are going to have to wait this long to air a passion project, I suppose there are worse times for a network to do so than around the Galentine\u2019s Day holiday. Meanwhile, I hope fans of the channel have some ice cream and perhaps even some ros\u00e9 handy over the next few weeks. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
