The Wedding Veil Journey

This third sequel to the "Wedding Veil" trilogy is the best of the three. It follows the story of Tracy (Alison Sweeney) and her husband Nick (Victor Webster) as they honeymoon in Greece.

The fact that this episode was filmed on location in Rhodes, Greece is a change from the preceding two. It may be part of the reason this story stands out, though the scenic beauty is not an overwhelming factor. It is narrative and characterization that drive the quality of a story.

The happy couple encounters the owners of a small inn and other locals who add color. The Wedding Veil legend continues via the woman who runs the inn and a guest. Her brother's lack of culinary talent spurs Nick to recognize that he misses time in the kitchen. And a young boy draws the attention of Tracy and Nick due to his personality and his artistic talent.

This final follow-up to the original stories feels totally different from the others and is a breath of fresh air.

Here Allison Sweeny and her husband have hit a questionable patch in their marriage because they're both working too much and spend little time together. So they decided to take the time, take their "not done yet" honeymoon, and after spinning a globe wind up in Greece.

There's an excuse to take the veil with them, of course. Everything starts out okay, but then her two friends show up? On her honeymoon? The honeymoon expressly designed to provide alone time for her and her husband? Not only did that not ring true, but if it had I'd have considered it incredibly rude and inappropriate. But it happened because the formula for this series required it, not because it actually made sense.

The romance is a rich woman's grandson and the sister of the brother/sister owners of the B&B. They don't spend NEARLY enough screen time on that story.

Another subplot is a young orphan Greek boy who draws great pictures ... mostly in pencil. They spend way too MUCH screen time on that one, and the outcome is utterly predictable from early on.

For me, an okay watch but definitely not a rewatch. Huge series fans, please don't hammer me for that. LOL.

Ok, yes, there are things in this last of the second trilogy that should not happen IRL but they do here. Suspension of disbelief, people. Allison Sweeney as Tracey lets her heart shine through more in this one. There are several subplots-just go with it. Nobody should have their friends along on their honeymoon but by this point the ladies are basically sisters under the skin. The husbands are sweet enough to just go with it. Subplot with Leo- is he not the cutest little actor? The main thing is ask yourself if you want a hard hitting true life drama or a little escapism. For me, real life has been a little too hard hitting and I love the escape. Of course it's not realistic! It's a Hallmark movie. Beautiful scenery, a pretty good story, good looking people (so sue me, I like the looks and fashion). The worst thing is now I want to go to Greece!

7.8 stars.

This one is also tied with the best of the Wedding Veil series. I hope they continue with the adventures, because these movies are a true gem of the Hallmark universe. What makes this one just as good as the two featuring Autumn Reeser is the actual journey and landscape, and the variety. Our main couple goes to Greece to finally take their honeymoon after a few years of being married. They meet some wonderful people there, including siblings who run a hotel b&b, and there is the guy and his mother, and the young boy named Leo, who is quite endearing I might add. "The Wedding Veil Journey" does not lack for beautiful scenery, ocean beaches, wonderful towns and cityscapes... the food aspect is tantalizing, and the romance is ever present as the lead characters continue with the marital fun, and the new couple is interesting and lively. This film has all the desired elements wrapped up in one glorious finale of the 6 Veil installments. They must make more of these, please, please, pretty please.

Veil #6 is a must see, if you are wondering whether to continue with the series after the first few, take my advice and stick with it. The last two (#5 and #6) are the best. In case they make #7 and more, then that means #6 is not the last one, and that would put a smile on my face.

I always enjoyed Alison Sweeney especially in "murder she baked". I wish they would do some more of those. I enjoy watching these except, I found this one a little bit dumb. They never had a honeymoon and never get to spend time together , so her friends end up crashing their honeymoon. I don't know about you but I would be a little upset. I also didn't think they had chemistry together . I did enjoy the other stories more and I always liked Lacey Chabert.

Also, what was the reason to bring the veil with them? Kind of silly. On a positive note, the scenery in Greek is beautiful and I enjoyed that the most.

Give it a shot and judge for yourself but this was my least favorite one . Although still watchable.
