The wedding chapel owner. Four-times-married, three-times-divorced owner of a wedding chapel in Las Vegas. Sassy and a little bitter with a bit of a romantic streak.
The angry bride: Recently dumped, Bev is intent on a revenge marriage, but with the benefit of actually loving the man she is using to get even. She is a little naïve and very romantic.
The angry groom: Dumped by his wife for another man, he is determined to marry the ex of the guy who got his gal. Still carrying a major torch for his former wife, revenge seems the right thing to do. He is a bit of a jerk who doesn’t seem to care if he hurts others. The actor who plays Stan will also play the producer in the final scene.

A fading Hollywood actress. Still glamorous, but a little too desperate to recapture her fame.
A fading actor who wants to recapture the days of his youth and adoration. He would still be attractive were he not so anxious for others to find him so.
