Nyles is a typical freewheeling man and Sarah is a reserved yet down on luck woman. Both these characters lie on the opposite poles. The two people getting married choosing a getaway to get married signifies yet another culture stereotype associated with Californians. Nyles being asked how his day is going by an attendant to whom he replies that “yesterday-today-tomorrow” are all the same. Similarly Sarah is seen replying – “the day is still young, ask me later” signifying their conscious minds anticipating the time loop to play its trick, a trick that they know is likely to endanger them, a fact that remains in their unconscious. Nyles acknowledges having consensual intercourse with Jeremy, a groomsman in a casual manner without any element of shame or stigma attached to it. This attributes to the fluid nature of his sexuality.
