Il velo nuziale - Una dolce attesa

I loved this movie!!! It's so seldom (if ever) we get to see what happens after "the happily ever after" of a movie but we do with this one. In my opinion this film is a must see because it does show the day to day life with all its challenges... plus with the acting of the amazingly talented Kevin Mcgarry and Lacey Chabert as well as the rest of the cast, it's well worth the watch; they really made it feel real as they went through the ups and downs of day to day life. That said, I also see so many opportunities in the plot for this to become a great mini series (ahem Hallmark). Either way, though I've seen it twice already and working on watching for the third time now, I'm discovering things I missed on the first two viewings and I know I'll watch it again. Congrats Hallmark cast and crew on a job well done!

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.

Watched the four parts of the series shown so far. The series contains the basic hallmarks of Hallmark, i.e. Simplicity and not loaded with suspense. Most of us don't want anything too loaded right now, especially not after the past two years and the price of gas. There are two things I like about the series. The second one is the fashion, the three friends have their own individual fashion, as different as their personalities are but the styles are trendy and unique, makes you want to watch. The number one feature of the series I like is the special friendship they have. Everyone needs a friend who will always be there, who understands them, who can read their emotions on the phone. The camaraderie and authenticity of the three leading ladies is enviable.

This movie was SUCH a delight, and made me smile, laugh out loud, and be silent with a content full heart so many times.

Kevin McGarry and Lacey Chabert have gotten even better as an on-screen couple. They have wonderful timing together, true warmth and affection and do a great job bringing these characters to life.

While they are living in a somewhat unrealistic dream world, they also encounter many every-couple challenges small and large. Examples of the unrealistic dream world: he gets up before her every day and wakes her up with a fresh rose, she wears romantic dresses and 6 inch heels almost every day, they have bought a classic mansion that is clean and furnished beautifully, they both are working their dream jobs and apparently have enough money to impulsively make large expenditures multiple times a week without looking at the budget. Examples of every-couple challenges: canceled meetings, casual full-coverage pajamas, unexpected house repairs (MAJOR ones), conflicting goals (in small stuff), spats, emotions, throwing decorative pillows on the floor and ordering take-out for dinner. She wants to nest and decorate. He wants to protect and bring the house up to code on earthquakes.

The friendship between the three ladies continues and I enjoyed their scenes in this movie more than I did in the first trilogy.

Karen Kruper brought life and depth as Peter Hasting's mother. I also applaud Hallmark for putting her story in this movie -- mature widowed women have wonderful interesting stories too. It was lovely to have a character-story arc for Kevin McGarry here -- many opportunities to tell a story of grief and growth on this part, and with a lot of comedy thrown in. A large part of this movie's success is due to his performance, although Hallmark would like us to think it's all about the ladies.

It's such a lovely movie and Hallmark has done a great thing by continuing this series with these great characters.

I would love for the Wedding Veil Trilogy to become a yearly series -- a new trilogy of movies every January, following these characters through decades, would be lovely and the fanbase would show up for sure.

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!
