7.8 stars.
This movie is equally as superb as my favorite wedding veil episode, which coincidentally is the other one that features Reeser as the lead. I have to say that the story is quite original, and the adventure is full of interesting and fun happenings. I can feel the actors are invested in this production. Case in point, sometimes you get the inkling nobody cares about a film, but not this time because there is an energy that is ever present in the performances of Reeser, Chabert, and Sweeney, and with the addition of Marks and Rohl as the side romance.
In retrospect the side romance idea should have been explored in more of the Wedding Veil films because it provides another layer of depth and romantic intrigue. It is doubly fun, entertaining, and captivating. There is much more to the story than the same old couples with a slight iteration of a veil mystery etc... This is a full blown veil inspiration.
What inspires me about this film is how knowledgeable the writers are about the nuances of relationships, about taking risks, the highs and lows, and how we must always continue to move forward. Love is hard work and can be a fickle and fragile mistress, yet as durable as iron if treated properly with finesse and patience. I learned a lot from the interactions and concepts conveyed in this most delectable installment of the Wedding Veil series (nod to the deep dish pizza).
