4 WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL

MAIN CHARACTERS

Charles:
Charles is "33, fairly good-looking, fairly ironic." Charles says that he is "in bewildered awe of anyone who makes the kind of commitment" necessary to get actually married. Henrietta refers to him as a "serial monogamist" who will "never really love anyone, because you never let them near you."

Carrie:
A beautiful American girl. She used to work for Vogue, and now lives in America. Charles meets her at Angus and Laura's wedding and eventually doesn't marry her. 

David:
David is deaf, therefore he and Charles can have private conversations in public without anyone knowing what goes on between them. He reminds Charles that when all is said and done, one has to marry the one that one loves with their whole heart.  

Fiona:
Tall, intelligent, aristocratic, 33. She's been in love with Charles for years. But until she lets him go, she'll never love another. 

Gareth:
Flamboyant and exuberant, Gareth loves going to weddings and finds humor even in the most embarrassing moments. He dies of a heart attack at Carrie's wedding (The funeral in the title is his). 

George:
Obnoxious and bombastic, he makes a play for Carrie at the Lucky Boatman. 

Hamish:
A Scottish politician, he meets Carrie in America and marries her. It doesn't last. 

Henrietta:
"Duck Face." Henrietta is fragile and probably a bit crazy. She corners Charles in the hallway at Lydia and Bernard's reception and tells Charles that he must change. He eventually asks her to marry him, then leaves her at the altar. She doesn't take it well. 

Matthew:33, Clean shaven, with a kind face, Matthew has been Gareth's partner for a long time. He is a stable, calm influence on Charles and the others, and the best man at Charles' wedding. 

Scarlett:
25, not at all upperclass. Brash, flirty. At one time considers working at store called Spank that sells rubber stuff. 

Tom:
High spirited, very affectionate and stupid aristocrat. The seventh richest man in England. Never considers the possibility that he might not eventually marry.
