Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Vows We Have Made

After a long delay caused by the Covid crisis, the POstables team returns to the screen with heartfelt stories to tell. Writer Martha Williamson hits the ball out of the park with this one. The actors give performances that are beyond outstanding. Eric Mabius and Kristin Booth reach deep and hold nothing back as they portray Shane and Oliver facing up to important issues which might threaten their relationship. Their wedding is filed in an innovative manner, focusing on the parts of the ceremony that matter most to the couple, and is certainly the best wedding shown on Hallmark to date. Rita and Norman are shown as being well adjusted to married life, and they face their challenges. Geoff Gustafson shows his comic mastery with some of the funniest lines in the movie. There are so many more tales to be told as they continue their work reuniting lost letters and packages with their owners. Signed, Sealed, Delivered is a series that has always been a cut above other series, and this film is no exception. They can pivot from "will they marry" stories to ones featuring the significant challenges faced by couples after marriage. I feel there is a real market for stories that feel real and evoke sincere emotions.

The Postables are always quirky, but this episode goes even farther than normal. Especially in the first half of the movie, the exaggeration for comedic effect was more than necessary.

The story surprised me. I was underwhelmed until I was overwhelmed. The accomplishment of their letter delivery mission had its usual very tender moment. But the highlight of the movie was the romantic moment the night before the scheduled wedding. Oh so sappy and I oh so loved it. This may be one of the all time great romantic moments for the Hallmark network and that's saying something.

One more story thread adds one more tender moment even if the circumstances were a bit out of the ordinary.

Is this the end? I hope not, but I'm afraid it might be given how long it took to bring this one out.

PS after rewatching The Truth Be Told: It has been several years and many installments since The Truth Be Told (TTBT) so it is not surprising that it wasn't fresh on my mind watching this installment. In many ways this episode should have followed directly after TTBT. Watching this one without that reminder left me thinking that Oliver's despair was a bit overplayed. After TTBT, I realize that isn't true. In that earlier one, Oliver's fears of abandonment are heavily emphasized which results in the replay of those emotions in this one making so much more sense. Which makes that magical moment I mention above oh so much sweeter.

I love this series in general, always so heartwarming with lessons learned and never rushed storylines with the main characters. The wait for happy endings was worth it for this installment. Best of the series and one of the best of any Hallmark movie I have ever seen. From start to finish it was perfectly acted and directed and there was so much story told in such a short time that again didn't feel rushed. I laughed and I cried throughout and if this were to be the last movie in the series I would be sad but would also be satisfied with how it ended. Well done Hallmark. This is how you do it. More movies likes this please!!

The Vows We Have Made is the wedding we have all been waiting for in the Signed, Sealed and Delivered Hallmark postables series. It is finally time for Shane and Oliver to say their "I do's". Shane's difficult mother comes in to town Earl for the wedding and is surprisingly good with Oliver...who needs just a little help getting through the big day.

The most romantic words someone with abandonment issues can hear...I will never leave you.

I don't know who the writers of this series are, but they really know how to tug on your heart strings! I did a little marathon up to this and forgot how much this series really makes me cry.

There were a lot of wonderful heartfelt stories...like Rita and Norman becoming parents in a way that is very Rita and Norman and the postables reuniting a letter...or a hero and a child with Leukemia in a very special way.

This is a beautiful series with wonderful quirky characters filled with both love and amazing amounts of knowledgeable facts. I have been watching since 2014 and I have been waiting anxiously for the wedding of Oliver and Shane. I am thrilled that they brought back beloved characters and that Oliver's dad and Ramon played such a big road leading up to the wedding. Beautiful callbacks for the fans.

If you are a fan of this series...you will love this episode. It is a must see!

I just hope there is going to be more. Please!

Far and away the best Hallmark show produced. The story, acting, music - all excellent. I have seen many wedding depicted on film, but this was done differently and just oozed romance and love. Big compliments to the writers. Beautiful script.
