Josie Bissett Continues Her Hallmark Franchise with "Wedding March 4"

When we last saw rekindled former college sweethearts Olivia Pershing and Mick Turner in Wedding March 3: Here Comes the Bride, their relaxing Valentine’s Day plans were thwarted when family members bearing all manner of news descended on the Vermont inn they own and operate -- a dream destination for couples looking for that special place to exchange their vows.  With the premiere of Wedding March 4: Something Old, Something New this Saturday on Hallmark Channel, #hallmarkies will discover (for the most part) not much has changed.

Desperate to focus on their relationship, Mick plans the perfect romantic getaway for the couple, however, when Olivia's daughter Grace arrives unexpectedly announcing her own engagement, followed by the early arrival of the next couple to say “I do” at the inn, Mick’s plans hastily change. "I'm thinking this couple is destined to never have any alone time," laughed the movie's star Josie Bissett (pictured at top) in an exclusive interview with MediaVillage. "It really doesn't seem that way, hopefully in Wedding March 5?”

Bissett and Wagner (pictured below) told MediaVillage a year ago while promoting Wedding March 2that they were onto something special with the first Wedding March movie, but neither anticipated a Hallmark franchise would emerge.  “Who knew?” beamed Bissett of the fourth installment.  “We had no idea going into it.  I've done so many TV movies throughout my life I’d have never thought this kind of thing might happen, so it's amazing.

“I absolutely love the character of Olivia and I'm a huge fan of Canada,” she continued.  “Being a Northwest native, I can just pop over the border, work hard and come home.  I'm here on the weekends and can maintain my life here for the kids.”
