Il velo nuziale - L'eredità

This is the third and final installment in Hallmark's Wedding Veil trilogy. It started with The Wedding Veil, continued with The Wedding Veil Unveiled and is concluded by The Wedding Veil Legacy. The stories are based on the novels by romance author Lori Wilde.

In this third installment the very legendary veils is given to the third friend Tracy, the doubting Thomas and quintessential New Yorker, to repair a small tear post Emma's wedding. While in the Italian tailor's shop she meets and interrupts a tailoring session with a tall, handsome gentleman who is having a tux tailored. Almost immediately, Tracy's boyfriend of two years gets a job in a California symphony and the two part ways. When the catering for their auction house event falls through, her coworker and friend takes her to try an Italian restaurant as a potential for a catering replacement...when they ask to speak to the owner it turns out to be Nick from the tailor's shop. This begins an interesting and beautiful friendship.

"I love New York, it's who I am."-Tracy

It was really nice to see that Nick was equally passionate about New York and New York history as Tracy. It made their relationship fun...and he just got her.

This was my favorite of the three Wedding Veil films. I love Allison Sweeney and was eagerly awaiting her movie. I am also a big fan of Victor Webster from the Matchmaker Mystery series. These two had great chemistry. (I hope they make more movies with those two together.)

This was a slow build of two people who fit so perfectly together and I really liked the interconnection with the historic Italian story and the provenance of the veil.

Wonderfully romantic story that I think all those romantics out there should watch! Highly recommend.

This movie was entertaining and funny from the start. Alison Sweeney and Victor Webster were really good together. The entire cast did a great job.

I watched all 3 of these and this one was the best. I'll watch this one again.

The script was not a challenge for good actors: no great emotional highs and lows, but the whole cast of seasoned Hallmark actors did an excellent job. All handled the good humor and banter with aplomb.

Tracy, played by Alison Sweeney, the third woman in the triumvirate of Wedding Veil owners begins her story with breaking up with her boyfriend, Finn. It is handled very maturely. He has gotten a great job across the country, and Tracy does not want to leave New York, or her own great job. They are sad to part ways, but as we have gathered from the previous two installments, they have grown apart lately anyway.

Tracy takes the veil to a tailor(?) to have a snag repaired and meets Victor Webster getting fitted for a tuxedo. There is some good natured raillery. Allison is planning an important party for her job and is in the market for a new caterer. Her search brings her to a new restaurant accompanied by Autumn and Lacey. Lo and behold Victor is the head chef and part owner with his family. The meeting between the women and Victor is chuckle-worthy thanks to the three actresses comic timing and easy rapport.

The side story of Tracy's mission to obtain a newly discovered early draft of the famous Emma Lazarus poem for the museum where it can be enjoyed by the public is interesting. It adds some suspense and provides the pretext (Victor might know an investor), along with picking out art for the new location of Victor's restaurant, and rug hauling around, for the promising couple to spend more time together. Alison and Victor make a good pair both age-wise and in physicality.

Unlike the second installment the plot is tightly written. There are quite a few little stories, but the focus remains on the couple and their developing relationship. Every individual side element gets tied into the whole, including the Emma Lazarus poem welcoming immigrants to America. The continuing mystery of how the veil got to San Francisco is well incorporated into this final chapter and provides a satisfying conclusion involving a lovely coincidence and a twist. After the veil does it's job of finding husbands for the three likable friends, it finds its own happy final home.

Of the three movies, I rank the first one the best for it's humor, this one second for the well constructed plot, and the second one my least favorite. **7 1/2 stars**

This was a cute idea for a trilogy with a magical wedding veil bringing love to it's owners. The first movie was pleasant enough, although Lacey Chabert is over used in the Hallmark movies. I loved the 2nd one with the always sweet Autumn Reeser.. But this third and last instalment was not quite as good as I had hoped. I like Alison and Victor and have enjoyed them in many of their other roles. And their connection seemed real enough. But the story was rather contrived with so many coincidences. We finally find out about the history of the veil but again, just not really believable. Everything was tied up in a neat bow. Still, it's an enjoyable series and I would like to see more trilogies, as you do get drawn into the interconnecting stories and the development of the characters and their relationships.

Ok, so I may have teared up when the credits rolled bc it means the trilogy is over. I've truly enjoyed seeing these women together, their friendships, and where the veil would take them. I've always been a fan of Sweeney and chabert. All three girls were a joy. Love women being supportive and uplifting to other women.

Just Hallmark showcasing the good in people. It's why I continue to subscribe to all Hallmark channels. It's full of joy and goodness and it's rare to see on tv anymore.
