I remember when Hallmark movies were something we *looked forward to* -- the "Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie Presentation of ...

The first one showing the meeting of the main characters, the second one showing a few more complications, and this last one culminating in their wedding. I really liked the first one of the movies, the second one was so-so and seemed a bit contrived in plot. This last one did seem a bit too saccharine sweet - but then again it WAS all about a wedding so perhaps it can be forgiven for that. It was *interesting* to see CD playing the role of the "bad guy" in the first movie. As her character was the self-important decider of what and who were good enough for their community etc (and someone with faint hints of being a witch as the main character had clearly wasn't, in her opinion). In the second movie, CD again was in that snooty role and was also shown to have bad judgement since she clearly preferred someone who was trying to cheat the main character out of her family inheritance. However, in this last movie, the role CD played has evolved a bit and she wasn't hostile to the main character any longer. So while the character CD was playing was more sympathetic, it reduced the conflict in the movie so that it actually made for a too sweet, flimsy plot. :( Even so, I *am* happy that they showed a wedding of the main characters, but it makes me think that perhaps this is the end of that series of movies... making it a trilogy.

Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen How could I have forgotten Who Wants to Live Forever! The Queen version is, of course the classic, but I wonder if Sarah Brightman's version - or maybe Gregorian's - wouldn't sound better to our Renaissance couple. Another one I forgot, and no one mentioned, is Dust in the Wind by Kansas. (With a nod to Highlander fans - any Tessa flag wavers out there?)
