The Wedding Veil

Hallmark has missed the mark with the majority of their movies in recent years, but has finally turned the corner and is back to making a few quality movies again. This is one of the best and starts 2022 on a good note, mainly due to the cast. The movie has a story within a story, which makes it more interesting than most Hallmark movies. It's also really enjoyable to watch. The acting, the scenery, the costumes, and the music are top notch.

This was such a heart warming story. Loved the dynamics of the ladies' friendship and that bond, but my favorite was Kevin Mcgarry! He played his part perfectly. Wished they would've made sure he used that Bostonian accent from the first scene or done away with it all together....only thing I would change. Kevin and Lacey have the perfect chemistry and love the fact that we got a wedding and reception, and that it didn't end with them just falling for each other.

This is the first of three romantic movies set around an antique Italian lace veil and the three friends played by Alison Sweeney, Lacey Chabert and Autumn Reeser. The three friends met in college during grad school and each has picked an occupation around art. Alison's character auctions art in New York, Autumn's character researches art at a university in Chicago and Lacey's character works as a curator in a museum in Boston. To maintain their friendship the three friends have a once a year weekend together in a different town to go antiquing. It was during one of these weekends in San Francisco that they find a beautiful Italian antique veil. The proprietor of the antique shop tells them that the veil has a legend...whoever is in possession of the veil will find their one true love.

Lacey's character, Avery, is by far the most romantic of the three and they are all convinced that she should have the veil...the other two are initially going to buy it for her, but then they all agree to buy it together and to share the veil so it can bring them each their true love...starting with Avery, who almost immediately meets a dashingly handsome gentleman named Peter.

Peter and Avery spend a magical day in San Francisco together...but then part awkwardly when Peter sees the veil and assumes Avery is getting married, only to meet again back in Boston where they have to work together to put on a gala for Avery's museum.

Peter blows hot and cold, but these two seem to be meant for each other!

Sweet and romantic this movie delivered on all of its promises. The next film will be Autumn's story as she takes the veil to Italy with her to research the veil's provenance in The Wedding Veil Unveiled.

I highly recommend this series as the storylines are fun, the backdrops are great and the cast is fantastic!

This first movie of the trilogy is absolutely adorable. I smiled for the entire thing. Kevin McGarry and Lacey Chabert were fantastic together. They have great chemistry. A lot of laughs. One of Kevin's best roles. Having Alison and autumn appear just connects the whole trilogy. I recommend it. It's just a sweet little movie about legends, fate and meant to be. I recommend it.

This movie has what all "made for tv" romance movies need, a couple with good chemistry, well acted, witty, with a feel good/happy ending. Definitely worth a re-watch.
