Carlo Marks talks about his new Hallmark movie ‘The Wedding Veil Inspiration’

Actor Carlo Marks (“Chesapeake Shores”) chatted about his new Hallmark movie “The Wedding Veil Inspiration.”

Terry Ingram directed it from a script by Betsy Morris, inspired by the book “There Goes the Bride” by Lori Wilde.

Aside from Marks, it stars Autumn Reeser, Alison Sweeney, Lacey Chabert, and Kacey Rohl. It will premiere on Saturday, January 14, 2023, as part of the network’s “New Year, New Movies” programming event.

In the second movie of this sequel trilogy, Emma (Autumn Reeser) is sticking to her five year plan, as Paolo (Paolo Bernardini) prepares to open a lace shop in Chicago with his cousin Matteo (Carlo Marks).

On track to assume a promotion to department chair, Emma feels strongly that things fall into place before she and Paolo can consider growing their family; however, Paolo worries that that day may never come. When a crisis at home calls Paolo back to Italy, the couple must navigate busy schedules to make time for each other from afar.

Missing Paolo, Emma bumps heads with Nancy (Lynda Boyd), the current chair of her department and begins to question her life choices. Thankfully, she has frequent calls, texts and visits with Tracy (Alison Sweeney) and Avery (Lacey Chabert), who seem to know her better than she knows herself.

She also has a friend in her smart and quirky teacher’s aide, Lily (Kacey Rohl), who provides Emma with a novel opportunity to get people excited about art, but it might mean giving up everything she’s worked for.

Meanwhile, Emma cannot help but notice a spark between Lily and Matteo – who both happened to be touching the veil when they met. As Emma tries to get Lily to trust her heart, she must find the courage to stop planning her own dream life and start living it.

“It was a lot of fun,” he admitted. “Obviously, the whole cast knew each other but I was coming in fresh as the new guy.”

He had great words about Paolo Bernardini, who plays his cousin. “Paolo has a lot of energy, but I liked him. Working with him was so great,” he said with a sweet laugh.

“Kacey is a tremendous actor, she is new to Hallmark but she fit in perfectly and she has a unique sense of humor. It was lovely working opposite her. Autumn Reeser is lovely and a grounded human being.”

He noted that “Chesapeake Shores” was six years of his life. “It was fun and it was nice to come back to it each year,” he said. “It was in the most beautiful location in the world, where I happen to be from. It felt like going home, it was such a gift.”

On being an actor in the digital age, Marks said, “It doesn’t make a difference to me. The camera is still the same camera. It changes more as a viewer and as a consumer, you have so many options it’s overwhelming. As an actor, you are connecting with other human beings. The industry has changed more than the art.”

For young and aspiring actors, he said, “Do it whenever and wherever you can, and take every opportunity to do it. Have fun doing it no matter what it is. That’s my advice.”

On the title of the current chapter of his life, Marks said, “Halfway There.”

Regarding his definition of the word success, he said, “Being happy no matter where you are and what is going on outside of you. That’s the ultimate success. Superficial success is being able to eat, have shelter, and take care of the people that you love.”

Silicon Valley Bank: Global bank stocks slump despite Biden reassurances

Silicon Valley Bank: Global bank stocks slump despite Biden reassurances

How did Silicon Valley Bank collapse?

Silicon Valley Bank – which specialised in lending to technology companies – was shut down by US regulators who seized its assets on Friday. It was the biggest failure of a US bank since the financial crisis in 2008.

It had been trying to raise money to plug a loss from the sale of assets affected by higher interest rates. Word of the troubles led customers to race to withdraw funds, leading to a cash crisis.

Authorities on Sunday also took over Signature Bank in New York, which had many clients involved in crypto and was seen as the institution most vulnerable to a similar bank run.

Mr Biden promised that covering the deposits would not cost taxpayers anything, and instead be funded by fees regulators charge to banks.

As part of efforts to restore confidence, US regulators also unveiled a new way for banks to borrow emergency funds in a crisis.

Yet there is concern that the failures, which came after the collapse of another US lender, Silvergate Bank, last week, are a sign of troubles at other firms.

Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics said the US authorities had “acted aggressively to prevent a contagion developing”.

“But contagion has always been more about irrational fear, so we would stress that there is no guarantee this will work,” he added.

Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at the stockbrokers AJ Bell, said: “The first rush of relief has been replaced by niggling concerns that the era of high rates might be more difficult for some banks to stomach than had been previously thought.

“In the US, bank stocks slid despite Joe Biden’s pledge that ‘whatever is needed’ will be carried out to prevent more dominos from tumbling.”

Political fallout

The failure of SVB has re-ignited debates – similar to those seen following the 2008 financial crisis – about how much the government should do to regulate and protect banks.

The chair of the US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, says there will be a thorough and transparent review of the collapse.

Mr Biden called for tougher rules and emphasised that investors and bank leaders would not be spared.

“They knowingly took a risk… that’s how capitalism works,” he said.

Still, Republican Senator Tim Scott, seen as a potential presidential candidate in 2024, called the rescue “problematic”.

“Building a culture of government intervention does nothing to stop future institutions from relying on the government to swoop in after taking excessive risks,” he said.

Reviewing: Dior Sauvage Dossier.co

As a luxury fragrance enthusiast, we understand the importance of finding the perfect scent. With so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming to make a decision. That’s why we’re here to provide a comprehensive review of Dior Sauvage Dossier.co, one of the most popular fragrances in the world. In this review, we’ll be covering everything from the scent profile to the longevity, and we’ll be sure to provide our honest opinion on whether this fragrance is worth the investment.

Dior Sauvage is a unique fragrance that combines spicy and fresh notes to create a complex and intriguing scent profile. The top notes of bergamot and Sichuan pepper provide a bright and citrusy opening, while the heart notes of lavender, geranium, and elemi resin add a touch of sweetness and spice. The base notes of patchouli, cedar, and ambroxan create a warm and woody finish that balances out the freshness of the top and heart notes. Overall, Dior Sauvage is a well-balanced fragrance that is perfect for any occasion.

One of the most important factors when it comes to choosing a fragrance is its longevity. After all, what’s the point of investing in a fragrance if it doesn’t last throughout the day? We’re happy to report that Dior Sauvage has excellent longevity, with the scent lasting up to 8 hours on the skin. Of course, the longevity can vary depending on factors such as skin type and weather conditions, but we found that Dior Sauvage performed well even in warmer weather.

In addition to longevity, projection is also an important factor to consider when choosing a fragrance. Projection refers to how far the scent travels from your skin, and it can determine how noticeable your fragrance is to others. With Dior Sauvage, we found that the projection was moderate – not too strong, but not too weak either. The scent stayed close to the skin for the first few hours, but gradually projected further as time went on.

Of course, the packaging of a fragrance is also important to consider. After all, the packaging can often be just as luxurious as the scent itself. Dior Sauvage comes in a sleek and modern bottle that is both elegant and understated. The clear glass bottle with a magnetic cap gives a glimpse of the amber-hued fragrance inside, which is a beautiful touch. Overall, the packaging is simple yet luxurious, just like the fragrance itself.

It’s no secret that Dior Sauvage is a luxury fragrance, and with that comes a luxury price tag. However, we believe that the price is justified for the quality of the fragrance. A 100ml bottle of Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum retails for around $135, while a 60ml bottle is around $95. Of course, the price may vary depending on where you purchase the fragrance, but we think it’s worth the investment for a high-quality and long-lasting scent.

After testing out Dior Sauvage, we can confidently say that it’s a fragrance worth investing in. The unique scent profile, excellent longevity, and moderate projection make it perfect for any occasion, and the simple yet luxurious packaging is the cherry on top. Of course, the price may be a bit steep for some, but we believe that the quality of the fragrance justifies the investment. If you’re looking for a high-end fragrance that is sure to impress, then Dior Sauvage is definitely worth considering.
