Charles (Hugh Grant)

The first wedding is that of Angus and Laura (Timothy Walker and Sara Crowe). Charles and his collection of single friends are concerned that they will never get married. At this wedding, Charles meets Carrie for the first time and spends the night with her, but he regards it as a one-night stand. Carrie teases him by pretending that now they have slept together, they will also have to get married, which Charles endeavors to respond to before realising she is joking. She then goes back home to America, observing that they may have missed an opportunity. This first wedding features Rowan Atkinson in a small role as a trainee priest.
