So... apparently - despite starting as recently as 2022 with this movie, The Wedding Veil, there are already 5 movies in the Wedding Veil series, and likely more on the way. I kind of knew this series existed, and was avoiding starting the series so we didn't need to sprint through five movies on the same topic. But we're running out of other Chabert options here on Hallmark as we speedrace our way through her non-Christmas filmography in a way I did not anticipate when I was like "you know what would entertain Randy...". But 2025 has been 2025, so here we are.
Basically, the idea of The Wedding Veil series is something like The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (which I've never seen). It's about how possession of this 19th century wedding veil will lead to true love. Three friends, who just happen to be played by Lacey Chabert, Autumn Reeser and Alison Sweeney - three of the top Hallmark stars - find and purchase a wedding veil together, all agreeing to share the veil when they find it in an antiques shop in San Francisco.
I call shenanigans that three people would agree to look the same at their weddings in a spur-of-the-moment decision, but here we are. And we *will* get three movies of our heroes getting married, I guess.
This movie has to do the heavy lifting for the series as it has to establish (a) the magical power of the veil, (b) who each of the three leads in the series are, and (c) what their particular deal is with romance. Fortunately, we all know Chabert is up to this task.
