Alison Sweeney posted a video from the set of Hallmark’s new Wedding Veil movies, calling the experience “an incredibly fun adventure.”
“It has been so much fun filming #TheWeddingVeil in Greece & Bulgaria,” she wrote. “I’m so grateful to everyone on the cast & crew for making this shoot so special.”
New Wedding Veil movies
Sweeney’s co-star Lacey Chabert broke the news that three new Wedding Veil movies were coming to Hallmark during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
While promoting her new Christmas movie, Haul Out the Holly, Chabert revealed that she was heading to Greece to film the next movies in the series.
“We’re going to be back,” Chabert said.
The Wedding Veil trilogy
Fans were excited earlier this year when they found out that three of their favorite Hallmark stars — Lacey Chabert, Alison Sweeney, and Autumn Reeser — would be starring in a trio of movies together.
The Wedding Veil trilogy followed three college friends who reunite every year for a weekend visit. During a trip to San Francisco, Avery (played by Lacey Chabert) bought an antique wedding veil alleged to be enchanted. The shop owner told her that the person who has the veil will find true love. Soon after, Avery met the man of her dreams (played by When Calls the Heart’s Kevin McGarry), and the two married. She then passed the veil along to Reeser’s character, who found true love on a trip to Italy to research the veil’s origins. After Reeser’s character said, “I do,” she passed the veil along to Sweeney’s character, who — yup, you guessed it — ended up falling in love as well.
In a Facebook Live interview to promote the original movies, Chabert said the movies were, at their core, about friendship.
“I think the sisterhood is at the heart of these stories,” Chabert said.
On the set
In posts from the set of the new movies, all three actresses have said how wonderful it is to be working together again.
“I am so grateful to have such incredibly supportive friends!!” Sweeney wrote in another post. “We were filming late together on a night which happened to be the premiere of #amagicalchristmasvillage. So while we were filming #theweddingveil everyone cozied up to watch and enjoy the movie during our breaks in between takes.”
The Wedding Veil Expectations will premiere on Hallmark Channel on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at 8/7c.
