Craig Armstrong uses mainly three pieces of music: 1. Glasgow Love Theme, 2. PM Love Theme and 3. Portuguese Love Theme ... these are used interchangeably throughout the film.
Juliet and Peter are the newlyweds; Mark is Peter's best man and secretly in love with Juliet.
Jamie is the writer and friend of Peter and Mark; Aurélia is his Portuguese maid to whom he proposes.
Harry and Karen are the older couple; Mia is Harry's secretary, who seduces him.
From a deleted scene, it becomes clear that Mia also knows Mark; she rents the art studio with sexually-themed artwork from him for the office Christmas party.
David is the Prime Minister and Karen's brother; Natalie is a member of the staff at 10 Downing Street and neighbour of Mia. Her nephew and niece attend the same school as Sam (Daniel's stepson), and Harry and Karen's children.
Sam learns to play the drum for the Christmas play at his school, in order to impress Joanna.
Daniel is Sam's stepfather and friend of Karen; Carol is another single parent, with whom Daniel starts a relationship.
Sarah is the woman with a mentally ill brother; Karl is her co-worker. They both work for Harry.
Colin is the man who goes to America; there he meets four women, including Harriet, whom he brings back to England. He also waits at Juliet and Peter's wedding party. In addition, he is the food vendor delivering edibles to Harry's office.
John and Judy are the actor and actress performing sex scenes, who get engaged.
Tony is Colin's friend and director of the aforementioned sex scenes. He starts a relation with Harriet's sister.
Billy Mack is the aging rock star; Joe, his longtime manager. They are the only couple who demonstrate platonic love rather than romantic love. Although they do not have a direct interaction with any of the other characters, Billy's naked performance is instrumental in Sam's attempt to profess his love to Joanna.
