The heartwarming drama about trust and expectations in marriage is the second in a series offour wedding vow-themed productions that will air on the network in 2012. \u201cFrom This Day Forward\u201d makes its world television premiere exclusively on GMC TV on Saturday, May 12th at 7:00 pm ET with encore broadcasts at 9:00 pm and 11:00 pm.<\/p>\n

Airing throughout wedding season, GMC\u2019s four-part nuptial series will continue in June with the third installment, \u201cIn Sickness and in Health\u201d, and in September with the fourth and final installment, \u201cTo Love and To Cherish.\u201d Each play will feature a different cast and new storylines all tied into the wedding vow theme. The first production in the series, \u201cFor Richer or Poorer,\u201d premiered on April 14th.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom This Day Forward\u201d tells the humor-filled and moving story of two couples at different stages in their relationships who are each grappling with issues of trust and expectations in marriage. Deon and Patrice seem like the perfect couple after their four years of matrimony, however Patrice doesn\u2019t trust her husband and is obsessed with thoughts of him cheating. Deon, who has always been faithful, is fed up with Patrice\u2019s snooping and plays a trick on her to catch her red-handed. Corrine and Lucas are newly engaged but already struggling with mismatched perspectives on marriage stemming from Lucas\u2019s decision to present Corrine with a pre-nuptial agreement to sign. Enraged and hurt, Corrine gives him a taste of his own medicine by giving him a \u201cpre-nup\u201d of her own. With one couple wrestling with the baggage of the past and the other dealing with the \u2018what-ifs\u2019 of the future, \u201cFrom This Day Forward\u201d explores how happiness in love\u2014whether between spouses or those about to take the plunge\u2014is a state that must be won again and again.<\/p>\n
