Romances[]
Robbie Hart[]
Julia and Robbie became acquainted over time as they frequently found themselves working together. They started off as friends, but after Robbie's fianceé dumped him on their wedding day, he spiralled into a depression. Julia offered him a shoulder to cry on and they found themselves growing closer. After practicing her wedding kiss on Robbie, he realized he was in love with her. A misunderstanding causes Julia to drift away from Robbie, partly because Robbie thinks he is treading water with his singing career and tries to emulate Glenn after being pressured by others that men need to be successful to support wives and families. Robbie ultimately elects to keep up his singing and serenades Julia with an impromptu song when she is is on a flight to Nevada getting ready to marry Glenn, which causes her to decide on Robbie.
Glenn Gulia[]
Glenn was Julia's fianceé. He was handsome and ready to settle down, which went over well with Julia's family. Her parents struggled to pay the bills, and saw that Julia was working as a waitress which was similar to how her mother was doing when she was Julia's age. Julia's mother admits she paces the bedroom floor at night worrying about her daughter, namely that is doomed to bounce around from paycheck to paycheck as she and her husband did. Glenn can provide Julia with a settled, financially stable life they could only dream of, Unfortunately, Glenn was also a womaniser who took advantage of his business travels to carouse. Whenever they were on dates, he would sneak a glance at other women. His only reason for marrying Julia was because she was loyal, the very trait he refused to adhere to. A doubt for Julia's forthcoming wedding came when she thought about changing her name, thinking not only was "Julia Gulia" something that kids would laugh at, but it also sounded like she was in a horror movie as the name as akin to "ghoul". When he found out that Robbie was in love with Julia, he and his friends beat him up. Julia finally realised that Glenn didn't appreciate her when while on a plane ride, he refused to let her sit in the window-seat while Robbie performed a song just for her. A revelation that Glenn had no intent of honoring the matrimonial vows prohibiting extramartial sex causes Julia to break off her engagement to him.
Love Rivals[]
Linda[]
Linda was Robbie's ex-fianceé. She dumped him because he wasn't the big rock star she was hoping he'd be by the time they got married. She later had a one-night stand with Robbie, presumably because she enjoyed having him on the hook. Julia came over to Robbie's to admit she had feelings for him, only to see Linda at the door in his T-shirt. Assuming the worst, Julia planned to elope with Glenn, setting up the final scene. Robbie kicked her out for treating him like dirt and ran after Julia.
