The Wedding Veil is the first installment of Hallmark’s new trilogy, revolving around three friends — Avery, Emma and Tracy. The friends find an antique lace wedding veil, which presumably brings true love to the person who possesses it.
The first film of the trilogy will show Avery keeping the veil, and will follow her journey to true love.
The official synopsis of The Wedding Veil reads:
“The friends agree to purchase the veil together and pass it along to each other to test whether or not the legend is true. Romantic curator Avery is the first to take possession and very soon after meets a handsome stranger, Peter (McGarry).”
“As they spend a carefree day together at a local museum, they share some uncanny coincidences that have Avery wondering if it’s fate.”
Will the magic of the veil work for Avery? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, let’s have a look at the cast members of the upcoming romantic drama.
