Alienation and loneliness are significant themes in Wedding Band as they truthfully reflect Julia's life situation. Due to her affection for a white man, Julia finds herself estranged from her own community. She faces rejection from both black society and her own white culture. Additionally, she has been compelled to relocate multiple times because of intrusive neighbors who disapprove of her interracial relationship with Herman. Since South Carolina law prohibits marriage and cohabitation between blacks and whites, Julia is forced to live in isolation to avoid legal prosecution and punishment.

Human rights play a crucial role, as the primary conflict in Wedding Band stems from social and racial injustices. Julia and Herman lack the legal rights afforded to either a white or a black couple. Their interracial love challenges societal intolerance, manifested through unfair laws. The core of these laws, which prohibit interracial marriage, is the intent to maintain racial segregation. Wedding Band effectively advocates for the right of all individuals to love freely and coexist as equals.

Julia and Herman symbolize a new era in the American South during the 20th century. Their relationship challenges the entrenched racial segregation of their time. Social norms dictate that Julia should love and marry a black man, and even the law supports this custom. However, in this play, Julia strives to assert her right to challenge and redefine these customs and traditions.

This loneliness compelled her to risk social exclusion and potential legal issues if her relationship with Herman were to be exposed. The theme of friendship is further emphasized through the connection between the women in the play—Julia, Mattie, and Lula—which serves as a united front against the poverty and racism that infiltrate their lives.

All the characters in Wedding Band are constrained by both their location and the era in which they live. Julia is unable to marry the man she loves because legal restrictions dictate who is eligible for marriage. Herman is trapped by his obligations to repay a loan, preventing him from breaking free from his mother to marry the woman he loves. Despite being abused and abandoned by her first husband, Mattie cannot legally obtain a divorce. The law denies her the chance to marry her partner of eleven years, who is also the father of her child, and poverty restricts her ability to relocate to seek the necessary divorce. Nelson faces limitations imposed by the social conditions of the time, which require him to risk his life defending his country while simultaneously denying him protection from the racism of his fellow citizens.

Prejudice and tolerance are central themes in Wedding Band because it is the community's bigotry and societal racism that prevent Julia and Herman from marrying and seeking medical help for the ailing Herman. While it's evident that Herman's mother harbors prejudice against black individuals, it's also clear that the black characters in Wedding Band are wary of the white characters, especially Herman.
