Warning: Spoilers
One line spoken in the middle of "The Wedding Veil Legacy" gets at the heart of film's characterizations: "There is always something new to discover about New York." It turns out that one of the new things discovered is that Tracy Goodwyn and Nick Serchio are true blue New Yorkers who are made for one another.

Tracy is the Director of Books and Documents at the Metropolitan Auction House in New York City. Nick is the owner of an Italian restaurant in Manhattan. The two characters meet at a tailor shop where Nick is being fitted for a tuxedo and Tracy has brought in a damaged veil that was acquired her and her two besties, Emma and Avery. The two friends have married, and it is now Tracy's turn to trust in the veil in her never-ending quest for bliss in the sacred institution of holy matrimony.

The legend of the veil is that the possessor will find true love. After Tracy's boyfriend Flynn is hired to play trumpet for the Los Angeles symphony, he is seen as a traitor for leaving Tracy's beloved New York. When she meets Nick, she has found another die-hard New Yorker. At that point, the deal is basically sealed.

The filmmakers wove some good, liberal, multicultural tropes into the narrative. Tracy is seeking a museum to purchase the handwritten draft of Emma Lazarus's poem "The New Colossus" that welcomes immigrants to America. Of course, we must champion all forms of immigration, not just the legal kind written about by Lazarus where immigrants went through legal channels on Ellis Island to become citizens. Today, we must all endorse illegal immigration by the millions on the Southern border. Nick is opening a new restaurant that will combine Italian and Asian cuisine. What a great neoliberal idea! A new form of politically correct dining: Asian-Italian!

Originally worn by a Contessa, the magical veil is infused with the spirit of Ariana that hovers over the happy couple, Tracy and Nick. It is only a matter of time before Tracy will be donning the veil as she marches up the aisle to her destiny.
