I'm coming into this discussion years later, but having just watched the movie again for the uncountedeth time, I did what I usually do: read reviews about what I just saw, and found this page .. I believe it used to be the IMDB forums. YAY, they're not gone!!! I missed these comments.
Kevin was a nice guy, a devoted man who *should* represent the ideal husband. If Scott hadn't returned, perhaps Julie would've spent their years making the best of it, finding some good times here and there ... learning to appreciate him, blah blah blah .. but feeling for the rest of her life that she'd settled.
.. and that's truly not a future she would wish for anybody, especially a good fellow like Kevin, who wanted nothing more than to spoil her forever.
I couldn't have said that better myself, Zany.
It resonates with me as well ~ the 'mores' of that era dictated secrecy for 'good girls' who got 'in trouble'.
Heck, my own mother *had* to get married! It'd be interesting to know if Julie's character's mother, Iva Mae, also had to have a quickie wedding... and tried her da**edest to deter Julie from the same path.
