Lifetime’s “When I Said I Do” premiered May 23 at 8 p.m., with Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black serving as executive producers and appearing as themselves in the film.
The movie was inspired by the couple’s 1999 duet of the same name and follows a widowed search-and-rescue K-9 handler, played by Sarah Drew, as she rebuilds her life and finds love again.
Lisa Hartman Black, 69, tied the project to the couple’s own nearly 35-year marriage, saying communication, friendship and talking through conflict have been central to their relationship since they married in 1991.
That personal backdrop also includes four pregnancy losses before the birth of daughter Lily Pearl in 2001, a hardship Clint Black recounts in his upcoming memoir as something they endured together.
The film extends a song that already brought the pair chart success, awards attention and a lasting place in wedding culture, turning their long-running duet into a new screen project.
