The Wedding Veil Expectations

It took me awhile to warm up to the original Wedding Veil movies. I liked them okay, but they weren't movies I was going to run right out and rewatch. I had no idea what to expect, coming into this one, but I absolutely loved it. We were told that these movies showed what happened after the wedding, and that's exactly what this showed. Avery and Peter were still in a very loving, healthy relationship, with life's normal bumps along the way. I typically don't enjoy Hallmark's movies about married couples, because they are usually about marriages in trouble. This was not the case, with "Expectations."

Their marriage was in a healthy spot, they shared a ton of sweet kisses, hand holds, cuddles, and authentic conversations within a marriage. I found this movie to be extremely well acted, incredibly romantic, and one of the best Hallmark movies I've seen.

I have read comments by people saying there was not a large enough plot point, but I disagree. What we saw was a healthy, functional, loving marriage. We were told we were going to see what happened after the wedding, and that's exactly what we saw.

In my opinion, it is the best acted movie, by both Kevin McGarry and Lacey Chabert, and I've seen them all. :-)

One of the reasons I enjoyed the original parts of The Wedding Veil involved the art and the history that were showcased with the story. I wasn't sure what this next installment would offer me as part of the audience, but I found it even more delightful. It let us glimpse into the new marriage of Avery and Peter, and the negotiations and frustrations that come with marriage and the adjustment to another person in most aspects of life. Because of the previews, I didn't realize how much this story would focus on the two of them and their struggles together. It turned out to be a lovely surprise. The story was great, the acting, superb, and the overall production, simply wonderful.

Love that the trilogy is continuing and The Wedding Veil Expectations was a solid continuation of Peter and Avery's love story. What happens after happily ever after? This is it! I appreciated the Hallmark-style bedroom scenes as well. Not something we usually see!

This honestly felt more like a pilot for a series to me but it was jammed into a 2 hour movie instead. Lots of good stories but it felt like some were given more focus than others. In particular, Grace and Clark's story didn't really have much depth.

I'd love to see this series ongoing, perhaps with a mystery surrounding a different antique each time. But I also wonder if maybe this universe is better served as a 10 episode series than 3 movies a year. There are just so many characters now with lots of different stories to tell. It's clear that the actors and creatives enjoy working together and it's a great mix of talent.

I would also love to see Kevin McGarry back on a series with creatives who love and appreciate his immense talent. I've seen all of Kevin and Lacey's prior movies and this is easily the best pairing I've seen for both of them. More of this please.

So looked forward to this movie because I loved the first movie and yet still blown away! The storyline was wonderful and very believable and to see their lives continue after their wedding was so fun! Kevin McGarry's talent was incredible and he and Lacey set the bar very high for this second trilogy! The range of circumstances and emotions evoked by the wide range of acting was so enjoyable and heartfelt. I could easily see a sitcom come from this 4th movie, even more than I wanted one for the first! I absolutely loved it and the nod to When Harry Met Sally outtakes were the icing on the cake!

Loved seeing a relationship after the wedding is over. The story was engaging and there were a lot of comedic moments and dramatic moments as well. Kevin and Lacey have great chemistry, which added to the appeal of the story. The acting was well done by everyone, especially by Kevin and Lacey. The women's friendship added to the story nicely, without taking over the main storyline. I liked seeing a continuation to a story that I really liked as well. It would be great if we could visit them again next year (hint, hint to TPTB). I really enjoyed this sequel to the Wedding Veil and would reccommend it to everyone, especially if you want to see something a bit different from Hallmark.
