Kevin is unveiled, unknown to Greg, at a family dinner that he is not only Pam’s ex-boyfriend, but is also her ex-fiancé. He is shown in a light of stereotypical perfection. Kevin is the best man in Pam’s sister’s wedding. He is also very successful professionally, which is evident by his very large house. Kevin’s hobby of carpentry is even modeled after Jesus Christ who was a carpenter. Kevin is also very in love with Pam. He has pictures in his front foyer still of them in several different places of the world, and he makes a comment to Greg while they are in his garage that she is an amazing girl as he pauses in reflection of their good time

s spent together. Even though Kevin seems so impeccable there has to be some reason that is not revealed to the audience as to why his engagement to Pam fell apart. Perhaps there is something behind his perfect exterior that isn’t so flawless.

Jack is also portrayed in this film very similarly to Kevin. It appears that Jack has no flaws. He is very meticulous about what he does, always scheduling things on an itinerary for everyone in the family to follow. Jack does have two weaknesses that are apparent. Jinx and Pam are two things Jack cannot seem to contain his emotions about, and they are two things that seem to be able to crack his tough shell. When Jinx turns up missing Jack is ready to call off the wedding because his “ring bearer” is missing. Earlier though, when Jack finds out one of his ushers will not be able to attend, his proclaims that nothing can stop this wedding. Pam is a much harder issue for Jack to deal with, than his beloved pet. He can contain Jinx within his home, and teach him tricks, but Pam is an adult human who is capable of handling herself, and isn’t home very often. This seems to make Jack more protective of her, and is something that points to the reason why he is so hard on her boyfriends.

When Greg and Pam show up to the Byrnes house, the camera pans upward to Jack peering disapprovingly out an upstairs window when he sees Greg. Already without meeting one another, the audience can already see that Jack is not going to be easy on Greg, and that is appears Jack has already decided he doesn’t like Greg. This distrust Jack displays immediately will prove to be a problem for Greg, as Jack will set him up for many failures, and will test the strength of Greg’s love.

Pam appears to be caught in the middle of this triangle. She is obviously in love with Greg which is plainly stated when she tells her mom that she believe Greg “is the one” referring to her beliefs that Greg appears to be the man she is meant to marry. Another example of how strongly Pam fee
