I am a big fan of the original Wedding Veil Trilogy and was excited there would be more. Unfortunately, the next 3 were a big letdown, totally losing the charm and magic of the first 3. The stories didn't connect to one another. The last movie "Journey" was the weakest of the 2nd trilogy having many plot holes and a weak script. Even the interesting idea of having a honeymoon did not go anywhere that made sense. The girls showing up on her honeymoon was beyond the pale. It was laughable that Tracey got mad at Nick for trying to help the chef, yet she can't refrain from calling her 2 girlfriends on their honeymoon! By this last movie, it feels like the three friends are too codependent. The stories just did not make sense. Lady Dalton's back story could have been interesting, but it too felt forced and contrived when she offers up her trove of rare letters to fund an orphan she hardly knows. But, here again there are many unanswered questions, e.g., -- " Why is this wealthy woman staying at this rather tacky hotel?" "Why do Nick and Tracey stay there, considering the inedible food?" Worst of all was the tag at the end - with the antique dealer giving the girls the same line as Hilda in the first movie. This makes it feel like Hilda was just a con, and this was just a line used by antique dealers around the world when meeting gullible tourists. It was a poor choice for an ending, and not a good cliffhanger which is what I think the writer was going for. The three original Wedding Veil Trilogy scripts were smart and connected to one another. Shame on Hallmark for ruining the Trilogy with movies lacking spark and creativity.
