* RunawayBride: Tala is a serial Runaway Bride, having a history of dating whatever young successful man that her parents would approve of only to break it up once the wedding was up. At the start of the movie she is on fiance number four, and her relatives are placing bets on whether she breaks it up before or after the engagement dinner. Turns out she has a really good reason for her behavior (It's all there in the title).

* {{Gayngst}}: Oh hell yes. Both Leyla and Tala express anxiety about their lesbianism, mostly spurred by fear that it won’t be accepted. Tala has run through four fiancés trying to deny her sexuality and tells Leyla that “this isn’t a way to live” after TheirFirstTime. Leyla is comparatively less gayngsty and accepts herself quickly after her affair with Tala, but she still admits to hoping her instincts were wrong when she first started to suspect that she might be gay. After her mother tells her she’ll burn in hell for the sin, she turns to her father in tears and tells him that if she could change it, she would, but she knows she can’t.
