The Wedding Veil Journey

This is the sixth of the "Wedding Veil" Hallmark movies, all released in 2022 and 2023. Will it be the final one? I suppose we will just wait and see. My wife and I have been watching them, mainly on DVD from our public library. We enjoy them as cute and clean entertainment.

This one focuses on Tracy and Nick who have been married now for three years but still haven't had a proper honeymoon. They both are so busy with their respective careers they may go days communicating with post-it notes. So they plan a honeymoon, to an out-of-the-way Greek spot. Plus, they need to take along the veil for an unrelated reason. That comes in handy when a British fellow shows up and gets attracted to the young lady working at the resort.

But a bigger story element is young Leo, and orphan of about 10 or 11 who is studying art in a local school. He also runs and has aspirations of running for Greece in the Olympics some day. Tracy and Nick take a keen interest in him and make plans to help him in ways they could not have expected.

Overall a nicely entertaining movie with some good relationship themes, and of course nice scenery.

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.

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!

This franchise keeps giving us decent movies. It is probably because the 3 couples are played by reliable actors. I've always loved Allison Sweeny. There was one interesting and daring wardrobe choice for her.

This is another movie which is mostly predictable with a low level of tension or conflict. The ultimate arc is pretty obvious. I feel like Colin and Tessa's story gets shortchanged a bit in favor of Leo's which is strange given that Colin and Tessa are the object of the title's legend. Still, it is a nice little story and there is absolutely breathtaking scenery. There is something about the Greek islands.

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.
