* NakedPeopleAreFunny: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] for the most part, as naturism is treated as a very normal way of life, but the naked Heron & Hough wheeling on Michael and Joanna's bicycle at the end elicits a few laughs from the audience.

!!This film provides examples of:
* AlphaBitch: Jen.
* CampGay: Gregory Hough, a self-confessed example.
* DashingHispanic: Jesus, the tennis coach.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Sam has this before the actual wedding. In reality, Jessica Stevenson had appeared in a successful revival of the stage musical ''Blitz!''
* ItsAllAboutMe: Sam's sister Jen, who decides to hijack the wedding by becoming the choreographer and
* Jerkass: Both Josef and Michael have their moments, as do Sam's mum and sister.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Josef is right in that a lot more effort seems to be put into Matt and Sam's wedding than the other two (despite the fact that the editors actually want him to win). Additionally Michael is right in being angry with Vivienne's attempts to make the naturist wedding clothed, but his attitude does him no favors.
* MaleFrontalNudity: Most of Michael's scenes, as well as numerous scenes in the naturist camp.
* NiceGuy: Heron & Hough, who even when faced with meddling in-laws and friends try to placate them by agreeing that they do have an important part to play in the wedding, but it is not their big day. When Matt storms out, they also put him up in their home.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Sam's Mum and sister Jen to Matt (and indeed most of the rest of the cast). Her estranged Dad is much friendlier.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Jen constantly reminds people she is a dancer, but her only real experience was as a teenage ballerina and as a performer on a cruise ship.
* StraightGay: Archie Heron is the straight man to Gregory's CampGay.
