Liked the subplot romance (a sweet counterpoint, plus she had a very believable reason for being gunshy), liked Paolo still wooing his wife, reallyreally liked the fact that Autumn’s character hated meetings! and admin paperwork! and the never-ending clusterfark that is survival in today’s academia (finally a Hallmark plot where I can yell out a “Preach!” and not be ironic). And I liked that little coda. Not as laugh-out-loud as was Lacey & Kevin’s, but Paolo was adorable with that hidden smooch. ITA. The Autumn veil sequel was superior to Lacey’s in just about every way, but the main thing in a romance movie is well, the romance!

SonofaBiscuit January 18, 2023 Share January 18, 2023 Boooo! Autumn's installment of the second batch of Wedding Veil movies was the one I was most looking forward to, but too much time was wasted on Emma/Paulo being apart, as well as her teaching assistant's romance with Carlo Marks' character. I was so distracted by the cheetah print dress that Alison Sweeney's character was wearing. It had some black fabric draped over one shoulder and I didn't understand. Was it part of the dress? Did she just throw some black material over one side for no reason? What??? LOL, now the girls are going to crash Alison Sweeney's Greek honeymoon? How bizarre.

MerBearHou January 22, 2023 Share January 22, 2023 I really enjoyed this installment of the Veil movies. It was a very dear story and I actually got a little teary a couple of times. It all hinged on how natural the young Leo actor was. He wasn’t cutesy or precocious or actor-y so I really rooted for him. The rest of the cast was delightful too and I enjoyed the little twist about Lady Dalton. Alison and Victor are great together and of course, Greece was dreamy — moves to the top of my wish list for travel.

Lacey looked really unsteady climbing those steps! There was literally no reason for Lacey’s and Autumn’s characters to crash the Greek honeymoon. No reason except for the actresses to get a Greek vacation, LOL. It was kinda odd that the name Leo was being pronounced two different ways. Wouldn’t most people repeat it just as they’ve heard?

Mittengirl January 22, 2023 Share January 22, 2023 (edited) I know nothing about lace, but would you really haul it around on an unprotected hanger? I would think wrapping it with tissue and placing it in a box would be better. It would be protected from snags, dust and spills. I guess I could get behind hanging it up upon arrival at your destination, if you were going to use it there. I thought the school in Athens was supposed to be for students in grades 7-12? Leo certainly didn’t look that old to me, maybe 10ish? Perhaps I zoned out, but did we not get a solution to Victor Webster’s character wanting to cook more? Autumn’s character showing up from Italy for what seemed like a day and a half I can buy, but Lacey coming all the way from the U.S. made no sense.

You fly thousands of miles and spend thousands of dollars and just hope you find nice accommodations? And then snark at someone offering to help that they're trying to scam you when you put yourself in a position to be scammed? Ugh. I must have zoned out too because they kept talking about Leo coming to live with them but I don't think they ever spoke of adoption.

However, I find it highly unlikely that Leo learned English from watching the Law and Order series. First, because that’s not the kind of show kids gravitate towards, and second, that’s not the kind of show a person watches to learn English. “Jurisprudence”, “Miranda Rights”, “entrapment”. Yeah, suuuuure, people just learning a language would watch such a show. My main problem in this movie (and had the same problem with Autumn’s first Veil movie) was the fact that the natives’ English speaking ability was amazing, and unrealistically, that they would speak in English *to each other*! If Autumn’s first movie and Alison’s second had been set in Northern Europe, I could maybe buy the two points I made above. Having family in Scandinavia and visiting them there, I can speak to the high level of English spoken (and writing and reading) which abounds there. But Southern Europe, nope - at least *not at the level* presented in these Veil movies. I loved, loved Tracy and the headmaster’s discussions about art. How realistic or not it is to make a living from it, but also how art (in all its forms) is needed and celebrated (when it’s successful). Finally, I don’t understand why the grandma blithely assumes her grandson would live in Greece…?

Can't speak to all Scandinavian countries, but, when I visited Norway, most of the TV programs were American or British and broadcast in their original language with Norwegian subtitles. In Norway and the other Scandinavian countries, there was recognition after WWII that English was going to be needed in the modern world and the schools set about teaching it to all kids. When I was there, virtually everyone but the very elderly were able to converse in English without much trouble, and most were what I would consider fluent. My traveling companion and I had gotten a CD with common Norwegian phrases and practiced before we left, only to discover that Norwegians speak excellent English. We hardly had a chance to practice. I loved seeing Greece again, it really is that beautiful. Delicious fresh food, too. Also great for history buffs, plenty to see. Greeks don't speak much English at all, even in touristy areas and the fact that the alphabet is different makes it even more challenging for an American traveling there. I would still be riding on a bus in Athens if the driver hadn't taken pity on me and, using sign language and a map, showed me what stop I needed. I liked the movie probably more than most of the other veil movies, mainly because of the setting. I was also very happy that they didn't try to pretend that Allison Sweeney was still young enough that getting pregnant and giving birth was likely to happen. I did kinda wonder how a couple who have trouble carving out enough time for themselves was going to be able to deal with bringing a child into their home.

I would tend to agree, but I feel like some people are just good-looking in a way that others side-eye me when I say that I do not find them attractive. I guess with using the word "objectively", I was just thinking ahead that someone would jump in and say how handsome he is, because he has one of those faces that probably reads handsome to a lot of people. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/208/#findComment-7842299

Yes, his face reads handsome to me, but it's really his abs that I find attractive, and until recently, we could count on seeing them at least once in every movie. @Bronx Babe, respectfully, I think we've waited long enough. Who is The Phantom of the Opera, and who is Fran Drescher without (I'm assuming) the New Yawk accent? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/208/#findComment-7842862
Guest January 27, 2023 Share January 27, 2023 (edited) Relatively new to these Wedding Veil movies, but I'm currently half-watching the second Autumn one, and I might be in love with her...teaching assistant? sidekick? Lily. She's cute and kinda twitchy in a fun way, and there's a naturalness to the actor's portrayal. When she pointed out that Autumn had a typo in her article about the veil, the way she said "you misspelled veil" as they walked out of frame 😆 Edited January 27, 2023 by tracyscott76 Missed a "the" Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/208/#findComment-7844616

Chippings January 28, 2023 Share January 28, 2023 As I write this, they're just finishing re-running A Royal Winter from 2018, which I think was my first "favorite" Hallmark movie. Did it stick in anybody else's mind especially? It was one of Merritt Patterson's first, filmed in an actual European country (maybe Romania?), and it just caught my attention. The settings were beautiful, and I think really filmed in the winter (what a concept!). The Prince was perhaps the most seriously flawed prince they've ever shown, and the actor (Jack Donnelly) doesn't seem to have much of a bio since. But they both got to work with Samantha Bond (former 'Miss Moneypenny' in lots of James Bond movies), so that gave the thing some gravitas. She has done one Hallmark, that I know of, since. Anyway, just wanted to give it a shout out. Has it stuck in anybody else's mind over the years?

I remember that the prince was quite the step down in regards to physical attractiveness (height and face), but I did like that his “hook” was helping disadvantaged kids. I don’t recall anything else about the movie. I didn’t remember that Samantha Bond was in it, but she’s also in Downton Abbey as the Earl Robert’s sister/Dowager Countess Violet’s daughter.

bankerchick January 29, 2023 Share January 29, 2023 Did anyone watch last night's disaster, Love In Glacier National Park? Maybe I'm just over the whole thing. I used to like Stephen Huszar, but this and his Christmas movie where he played a bodyguard were both awful and the lead female was just a bitch. Why do they do this? Who wants to watch someone who is unpleasant all the time and why on earth would a good looking guy give her the time of day? Her sister was ridiculous and I won't even get into the masseuse who thought she would just show up at the guy's house with her pyjamas, and not just stay over, but sleep in his bed? With his daughter there?? In a Hallmark movie??? I bailed early and had no desire to check back.

WhyAmIHere January 29, 2023 Share January 29, 2023 Maybe it's wedding veil fatigue, but I kind of enjoyed the glacier movie. It had some weird, dropped threads though. The sister took a negative pregnancy test near the end of the movie, but she never told anyone, did she? The female lead didn't spend any time with her sister after that. The redhead massage therapist also mentioned something she needed to share at the dance but then wasn't seen again. I can't pinpoint anything specific that I liked about this movie, other than relief that it wasn't another wedding veil movie. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/208/#findComment-7847671
bankerchick January 29, 2023 Share January 29, 2023 I get the relief over the end of the veil movies (for now) and sometimes we have to take the good where we can get it. I am currently watching Winter In Vail with Lacey who I don't like and Tyler Hynes, who I do like, and I know I've seen it before, but I can't help thinking it's exactly the same as the movie where she and Brendan Elliott inherit the same house. Maybe it is and he hasn't shown up yet, but I'm gonna bail on this too so it will remain a mystery.

BuckeyeLou January 29, 2023 Share January 29, 2023 I liked the Love in Glacier Park just for the scenery, and the young daughter was delightful.

They explained part of it later, but not some of his assumptions that were somewhat mysogynistic. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/208/#findComment-7847778
