* AccentInterest: When she's introduced to him, one of Linda's friends says that Peter has "a lovely speaking voice", meaning that what was presumably his native Scouse accent has noticeably softened since leaving Liverpool for London.
* AcousticLicense: The fact that a lot of the action takes place on a busy nightclub dancefloor doesn't seem to impede the characters' ability to communicate with one another.

* CulturallyReligious: Most of the characters in the play seem to belong to the [[UsefulNotes/TheIrishDiaspora Irish Catholic diaspora]] in Liverpool. Several characters have Irish names (Bernie, Maureen, Peter [=McGeeghan=]). Robbie mentions that he's a Catholic. Bernie wears a crucifix necklace, but also hands out the condoms before the girls hit the dancefloor.

* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Peter, who likes wearing women's boots, has an earring, and in general is more of a PrettyBoy (and is visibly shorter than the other male characters). This is in sharp contrast to [[RatedMForManly the groomsmen]], especially Eddie, who seems to feel like he needs to assert his masculinity by putting down men he perceives as weaker than him.

Added DiffLines:
* PeerPressuredBully: The other groomsmen, in a fairly tragic way. By themselves, they seem like decent guys (one has dreams of being an artist) and think Peter is cool, even asking him for his autograph. Under Eddie's influence, they either ignore or back up his violent tendencies.
Added DiffLines:
* RunawayBride: The overall plot of the movie is whether Linda will be this or not: will she take Peter's offer to leave Liverpool this time, or will she refuse him (as she did previously) to settle down with Dave? [[spoiler:At the end, she is ''literally'' a runaway bride, as Eddie is chasing her to try to get her to go through with the wedding and she escapes with nothing but her purse and the clothes on her back.]]
