An ingenuous way of making a romantic trilogy. Don't know anything about the books on which they're based, but the first movie had a good plot and was well acted. Looking forward to the next one.

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!

Really good movie. Kind of annoying with the usual "misunderstanding" driving the plot, but things eventually resolve. What was most amusing was the way the main character guy goes in and out of the Boston accent thing from scene to scene. In one scene he's a guy from the Midwest, the next scene he sounds like he's one of the Kennedy clan. CONTINUITY, Hallmark! Lol.

Like most Hallmark romances, this one has few surprises. What it does have is Lacey Chabert as Avery, one of three friends who are looking for love. This first in a trilogy about a veil purported to have mystical powers has good chemistry between Ms. Chabert and Kevin McGarry (as Peter).

A misunderstanding creates the tension---and it's a little bothersome that it could have and should have been resolved easily---that moves the story along. The fact that the veil was partly responsible for the misunderstanding should cast doubt on its properties, but this is a romance, so a resolution is never in doubt.

Autumn Reeser and Alison Sweeney are the two friends who will star in the episodes to come. The three women do a good job portraying friends. If all goes well, maybe they can add a fourth installment that stars all three.

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 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 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.

Lacey chabert.

I'm most excited about the trio of women who are in this series of movies. Love the idea and how it's playing out in future movies. I love Hallmark!

The male lead was good as he is in other movies as well. His accent wasn't needed but he tried.

Can't wait to start the next movie!!

I have read the books that this trilogy is based on. I had heard that the movies were not following the books so I wasn't sure how good the movies would be. Well surprisingly I loved the first of the trilogy!! Lacey and Kevin had great chemistry and did an awesome job in their roles. The story was well done. Even though it was vastly different from the book it was based on it was a very good story and still held to the basis of the book.

I will watch anything Lacey is in because she is seriously so good and refreshing to watch. She carried this movie. Autumn and Alison were good too but not too believable as best friends. Ali was too stilted. Kevin's accent was tooooo much. I did laugh a bit during the movie and Lacey is one of the greats which is why I rated it a 6.

The movie slow. Although I really like both Lacey Chabert and Kevin McGarry, they had little chemistry. Kevin McGarry's character was a putz.

If it hadn't been for the cast, the movie would have been a total dud. I won't go on of my way to watch this one again.

Best Hallmark movie I've watched in ages. Kevin and Lacey had fantastic chemistry and the script was so well written. It had female friendship, romance, and mystery of a magical veil. Everything and everyone mixed really well. And the ending set up the next movie in the series really well. Hallmark needs to work more with the Berg Sisters and Beth Grossbard because this was outstanding.

It's okay no it's not based on the books but it still was a great movie can't wait for the next two movies to come out. But I definitely probably won't watch this one again.

I am a big Lacey Chabert fan, but she never looks comfortable acting in this film. And, nothing works in The Wedding Veil. Kevin McGary towers over Lacey Chabert - they don't look like a couple and never seem to have much chemistry. The greatest suspense comes from wondering how they will eventually manage to do their Hallmark kiss, because Lacey's mouth is below his armpit level. The Italian painting that they recover is very far from being the masterpiece that the other characters "Oooh" and "Aaah" about -it's an ugly, simple painting, very low in artistry. McGary's character complains about having to wear a "coat and tie" in his job -but he isn't wearing a tie when he says it and virtually never has a tie on at any time in the film.

Problems seem to be solved off-camera. Everything depends on Lacey finding a second restoration expert and after much hand-wringing, she simply announces that one of the experts her friend found online has agreed to help out. Huh?

Museum tours are usually performed by volunteers (for free) but when Lacey needs a fill-in tour guide for her art museum she turns to her love interest -who is the CEO of a large charitable foundation. He rediscovers his love for teaching young children and . . . Well, you can guess the rest. Apparently, the scriptwriters are not deep thinkers.

And Lacey looks a bit different in this film. Has she had some work on her face? Is it just a new hairstyle? Or, is she getting tired of "the same old script?"

I love all 3 actresses - Allison is a top-notch actress, Lacy is great in any role, love her giggle, and Autumn's acting seems so natural! I hope they make many movies together. The first in this series had an interesting storyline, humor that made me giggle and a nice ending to float into the next movie. The music, the locations, the costumes - all get a thumbs-up from me. The supporting cast was a refreshing change - they were smart & actually had something to offer to the story, instead of silliness. Even if they all get married in the end, this could be a long-lasting series!

It was good until the gala scenes when the main character suddenly developed a horrible Boston accent making the movie come off inconsistent. Being from Boston it's common for m to hear but should have been consistent one way or the other throughout the entire movie. Definitely could also use more interaction between the 3 main women as well to better link the upcoming movies.

Kevin McGarry and Lacey Chabert gave us a truly romantic and beautiful movie. Their on screen chemistry was great and they showed us that two people can care for others and their needs more than their own desires. Both were selfless people and cared for the common good. Every moment of this movie was pure enjoyment. Definitely one of Hallmarks all time best movies.

This movie was well written and the depth of the storyline. Lacey Chabert and Kevin McGarry played off each other brilliantly. I enjoyed their playful banter throughout the movie! The appearances by Autumn Reeser and Alison Sweeney's characters were placed perfectly. I can't wait for the other 2 movies in the trilogy!

I really enjoyed this movie! It was so great to see Kevin get to show all sides of his talent. He portrayed Peter perfectly! He and Lacey were wonderful together! They made such a good pairing! I will be watching this movie over and over!
