Oh, and that ask that prompted the list?? Having a fun wedding doesn't take any of the meaning away. Mia and Darren breaking traditions doesn't surprise me at all. I know CC's deny it, but they've been together for close to a decade now, and have lived together for 5+ yrs, they travel together, they own a business, etc. Married life probably isn't changing a ton for them. Darren said it himself, it was less of a celebration of purely them, but more so for the life they've built together.

Anonymous said: Oh my god. Abby's list of what she'd expect at Darren's "real" wedding is literally fanfic. Like straight up fanfiction.

Hi anon! If D was to have a large elaborate wedding and he was marrying the love of his life while it may not be completely traditional, some things I think would be key:

1. The focus would be love

2. The guests would not use his wedding as a promotional tool

3. There would not be one product placement

4. The rings would be ones picked out lovingly and to reflect the person wearing the ring

5. he would write and perform a song for his love

6. you bet there would be a first dance

7. His family would be way more involved

8. The guest list would be very, very different

9. While he may release a picture or two for his fans, which i think is nice, the entire thing would not be available for public consumption

10. No paps and no leaks or hints before the day

11. While there may be some performances, it would not be made into a concert for everyone and their mother to perform at because that takes the focus from the grooms and places it on the guests.

12. It would not be in a random city that he is trying to sell has some meaning to him when we know it has no relevance to the relationship at all.

I am could go on and on. Of course, i am the batshit crazy tinhat that thinks he is already married, to his true love, and as such, they likely had a small intimate ceremony only attended by family. But i still bet he wrote C a song to commemorate the day.

Just like always, Abby resorts back to this Disney-Princess, perfect version of love that isn’t real- it is rom/com perfection that doesn’t exist outside of books and movies. This list of Abby’s dream wedding is-like you said- a straight up fan fiction wedding.

I don’t know how Abby could read all of the “promotional” posts by their friends and not understand that it was a wedding focused on love. So many of the social media posts specifically mentioned what a magical celebration of love the wedding was. You can’t piece together social media posts and the photos they released and come up with a complete picture of the wedding. What we saw was not the wedding at all- it was the reception. No matter how much Abby wants to ignore the facts, we haven’t HEARD anything from the ceremony-we’ve seen a few photos, mostly taken from quite a distance and one small snippet of Darren’ signing. That is all we got from the ceremony-ya know, the part of a wedding that is focused on love and is emotional. We have seen video upon video of the reception because nobody was posting an intimate wedding on Instagram. I am sure they were asked not to take video. We saw one or two pics of the wedding cake, the food we saw because the chef posted it. Truth is we saw a lot of videos from the same performances at the reception. The product placement comment is just gross. Businesses have to promote themselves to get more business..it’s how it works. I’m sure Abby’s law office advertises. There is nothing wrong it it. There were no “product placements” just a petty conspiracy theorists who hates that Darren and Mia got married.

I honestly can’t with the ring comment. Abby has NO idea what the ring process was. She has made up a theory that doesn’t seem at all logical but she has dug her heels in-visual evidence be damned.

The obsession with the first dance? I don’t get it. Darren and Mia are singers, they live their lives with music and having a first song makes perfect sense for them. A first dance... I mean, it’s what we do at receptions in America but what does it mean? Most people are living with their partner long before the wedding making a dance nothing more a moment that doesn’t mean much- I enjoyed choosing the song but the dance itself? Meh. I would have LOVED to sing with my husband for our family and friends. THAT is something that would have been memorable...sadly, I cannot carry a tune....it would have been memorable for all the wrong reasons.

The rest of the list is just proof that Abby knows nothing about Darren. A different guest list? Is she serious? They invited THEIR friends, not Abby’s cc-trope list of Darren’s gay role models and people he’s worked with that she decided mean so much to him because he posted an IG pic. They have real lives outside of social media. It’s laughable that the fandom that claims they understand PR and won’t fall for it believe he is BFFs with his whatever costar he just worked with.

His family would be way more involved? First of all, we don’t know what their families did or didn’t do- we haven’t see more than a few still shots of the wedding itself. I don’t know what kinds of things a family would do at a wedding of two independent adults. The pics? We were blessed with the photos. The pics are a gift to his fans which is right in line with something Darren would absolutely do. The paparazzi? OMG again Abby claims to understand Hollywood and celebrity and she doesn’t understand how paparazzi work. Having a paparazzi at your wedding isn’t something that anyone who is actually famous covets. People who are famous for being famous- wannabe influences, the Spencer-and-Heidi’s of the world, they live for paparazzi at their wedding, but Darren? Never. Just look at his face when he spots them- he’s very upset. They all are. There were no leaks or hints that were released by Darren and Mia. It was just some good Tumblr CSI.

Criticizing the reception performances is the one that just blows my mind. First of all, Darren lives to perform- he also lives to see shows and shows his friends are in? Perfection. Second of all, his guest list contained a huge number of singers. Having an open mic for this group of beloved friends to perform for one another is a gift...a beautiful moment for everyone there. Claiming it takes the spotlight off of the couple? WTF? Who cares? A wedding isn’t about the spotlight being on the bride and groom every moment...at least not a fun wedding. Talk about Bridezilla. Abby believes that in a real wedding Darren would have preformed a song for Chris during the ceremony, but performing at the reception is tacky? Nothing proves how little Abby knows or likes Darren Criss than this this specific comment- well this entire list but this comment sums it up best.

NOLA? Again, Abby, Darren has a life that YOU don’t know about because it isn’t posted on Instagram. When you literally believe you “know” someone because you track them on social media, you miss 99% of their life. You get the Instagram-moments, perfect version. It isn’t real life. When Darren says he is private, he means it.

http://summerofcheesecake.blogspot.com

Miss Mayhem and I decided to start this blog as a bit of a therapy project. We are sisters who grew up together, then grew apart when Miss Mayhem left the Unification Church that we had grown up in. After I left as well, we began to retrace our steps to begin our relationship as sisters and friends again. This blog is a part of that healing process.

“I’m not sure where this misconception came from that a Moon-sanctioned union will be free of heart-ache, gut wrenching fights (either internal or with a spouse), and potential breakup. That should be Lesson #1 in any relationship, in any religion: there are no guarantees that it will work or be immediately fulfilling. A breakup can be a learning tool. But at least at the end of the day, outside of the Unification Church there is proper support for a struggling couple and less threat of “fire and brimstone” if things don’t work out. In fact, the breakups I’ve seen in the UC tend to be much nastier because of the religious ramifications.</rant>”

Glenn Emery Pay Day at the Washington Times! Washington Times Circulation Hoax

Why I stayed in the Unification Church for so long Vivid dreams, spiritual experiences, bizarre coincidences… all of these things played a big role in convincing me to join. I perceived them as a form of personal validation from God that I was doing the right thing. After a few of those, I would not have listened to anyone trying to tell me I had made a mistake. The Divine Principle appealed to me on an intellectual level. It made sense of all the bible stories I learned in Sunday School. The DP built on what was already familiar to me, so it did not seem exotic or strange, like Scientology or Hare Krishna or other groups at the time.

Over time, my ego and identity fused with the Unification Church. Without the UC/True Parents/Divine Principle, I had no identity. Therefore, it was absolutely necessary that I never quit or leave. Otherwise, I wouldn’t exist.

Fear was also a factor. I believed bad things happened to members who lose faith and leave. Satan would invade. I felt responsible to keep going, even when I felt nothing and was plagued by doubts, because my family and my ancestors depended on me to “get the victory.” If I left, they would accuse me of failing them. So I wasn’t just in it for myself. By the time the Blessing finally rolled around, I was bored with the UC/DP. I would have quit, but I had nowhere to go. It was easier to simply keep going rather than start over. Besides, I didn’t want to face my family and friends and hear them say, “I told you so.” So my UC ego kept be in check.

Staying in the UC creates its own inertia. The longer someone is in it, the greater the inertia. I call it the “leathery bonds of convenience.” Very tough and hard to break. Simply easier to stay together with a blessed spouse, especially after having a child, even when there’s no deep emotional connection.

I believe people stay in the UC simply because they no longer see any other alternative. They’re too old to start over. They’ve invested too much personal capital to walk away. Even if they no longer believe, they continue to cling to vague hope it will all work out somehow, someday. Peer pressure from the larger group cannot be overestimated either. Leaving the group is an act of betrayal, violation of a sacred trust. Even when it all goes to hell, the group ethos is to stick together, no matter what. It takes a lot of courage to overcome that.

but also bc ive been thinking and like ,, ok so this story might put things more into perspective. so its like monday and i get a text from him thats just like ‘hey what are the rest of your classes for today/do you have like 15 min or something to be in a shoot of mine before it gets dark’ and im like PANICKIN bc ofc hes asked some of us to be models for his photography hw before and its always super casual BUT this is the first time that IVE ever been asked specifically (2/17)

and so obviously i jump at this offer and im like ‘umm i dont have any more classes today so sure just lmk when and what to do :) also whats the shoot about?’ and hes like ‘ok cool we can meet at your room at like 5:15 and ill tell you about the shoot when we meet up :)’ and he wanted us to go to this reaaaaally pretty park at sunset and do the shoot around that time and i was like ‘ok do u want me to wear anything specific’ and he was like ‘nothing in particular :)’ (3/17)

and so i start getting ready and im nervous af bc it meant spending more time alone with him and i felt so unprepared for that LMAO but yeah so he comes up to our room and i open the door and my heart skips a fucking BEAT and i almost slam the door in his face but i force myself not to aha and so we go and hes like ‘ugh im so tired i want coffee lets get coffee’ and so we went into the starbucks around the corner but then i was like yo will we make it to the park in time (4/17)

and hes like ‘o shit yeah’ so we leave without getting coffee rip but yeah we go to the city park and oh my gskldgskd it is so fucking pretty its right before sunset so everything is golden and the sky is rainbow but you can already see the moon and holy one of the prettiest views i think i have EVER seen !!!!! and then he explains to me what the project is finally and hes like so its an experimental photo set thats supposed to represent all the things we left behind in modern society (5/17)

and so for me he said he wanted me to pose in the city park at sunset sitting on a bench with my hands cupped like i was holding a heart (hes going to photoshop the heart in later when hes editing the pics) and then like leave it behind on the bench and look at the sunset behind me which is supposed to represent and i quote “leaving love behind in the pursuit of beauty” and i literally was like 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 the whole time LMAOOOOOOO (6/17)

but yeah so we did that in like 15 min but after we were done i legit didnt want to leave bc (i wanted to spend more time with him but also) IT WAS SO FUCKING PRETTY SKDHJDFH and ahhhh i like looked over at him and he looked sooo at peace just like looking out over the water and the sunset and the scenery was so beautiful i almost blurted out hi i think ur beautiful but i stopped myself in the nick of time thank god LOOOOOL (7/17)

but he like made eye contact with me and i like held myself together but there was a moment where i felt like djdhskjdkd idk how to describe it i was kfskshdhdjdh idk it could be just my imagination but I FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE AHHHHHHHH and i was so tempted to ask him about the hand holding on saturday but i didnt i held myself back again thank god lol and then all of a sudden he goes ‘hey do u want pics’ and im like wot (8/17)

and hes like ‘do u want some pics of urself? like we r already here so !! plus i want some photos to put on my photography insta’ and i was like sljkddjkd ok why the hell not so he directs me into different poses and stuff like that and after the sun sets we finish and then we r walking back bored af so we start wandering around the little shops nearby and then we finally get home and then our friend texts the group chat like ‘hey anyone want dinner now’ (9/17)

and we were already really close to a dining hall so the two of us went and got dinner and our friend just joined us later and then during dinner when it was just the two of us we started talking about me losing the bet of when our friends were gonna hook up and so i have to treat him to japanese bbq and we were talking about when and hes like ‘well theres nothing im gonna celebrate for a while except my best friend from home is coming bc her sisters getting married here” (10/17)

and i was like ‘omg thats great ??? congrats to her !!!! omg’ but idk this is where it gets kind of confusing bc idk we were talking about maybe going this weekend but his best friend was coming and he was planning on spending all his time with her but i think he said that we could go get japanese bbq with her too ?? and i think i said ok but i dont think we locked down any like specific date and time at all ??? this part is a lil confusing to me (11/17)

so anyways that happened and i havent really interacted with him after that whole thing like we still have a streak on snapchat lol but he will do this thing where he wont open or respond to my snapchats for like literal hours ,,, even though i know hes ON snapchat bc he will like watch my stories ??? like w o t ???? i dont think hes doing it on purpose if that makes sense ?? but its still annoying and borderline infuriating and sldkghsldkgh (12/17)

and also like ok ,, his best friend came like yesterday and i saw her on his snapchat story and h o l y g o d she is the most beautiful girl on all of fucking planet earth i shit u not like i actually !!!! screamed when i saw her shes so fucking gorgeous and on his story theres a bunch of snaps of the wedding etc and a pic of him and her in a photobooth and sldkgsldkghs holy ???? i dont know how to put this into words but they are p e r f e c t for each other (13/17)

like in every way possible they are literally best friends and shes an actual goddess and together they look sooooo aesthetically pleasing it is legitimately intimidating and ahhh sldkgldgkh so the thing is !!!!! i already have practically no self esteem left ,, and a dinner with like HER and THEM will probably d e s t r o y m e from the inside out i will literally just feel inferior in every single way possible and i have NO IDEA HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS UGH !!!!!! (14/17)

but yeah that kinda just made me realize that i might need to take a couple steps back ??? from this entire thing and him in general ,, and also that before anything happens i really want to work on me first like obv x has got his shit together and theres that whole thing with his best friend and idk !!! i like have pledged to go to the gym way more and get my fucked up sleep schedule back to some resemblance of normal and f o c u s on my academics and skincare and eating more healthy !! (15/17)

like i wanna be a person that everyone can look at and be like yes !! u go girl shes got her shit together and yeah !!!! aha :’) and also i need to COOL IT with my feelings about x like as amazing as he is and as fun as it is to spend time with him and as much as i want to pursue everything about this relationship i dont think im in a place mentally and emotionally where i can handle that so !!!!!! for now im gonna (try to) just distance myself a lil (16/17)

and yeah !! if he asks to go out for japanese bbq tonight/tomorrow i think im just gonna be like ‘ahh i wish i could but im super swamped with work rn sorry :(((‘ (which is 100000% true) and just leave it at that *deep sigh* anyways thats where i am at this point thanks for tuning in yall aha :’) i just need to not be hurt in this relationship and distancing myself for now is the only way i know how to prevent that ,, and i probably wont be that successful but !!! heres to trying :) (17/17)

awwwwwwwww crush anon BUT THE SUNSET DATE (yes im calling it a date) does his best friend go to the same college as you guys?? bc if he’s single and she doesn’t live anywhere near him there probably really isn’t anything between them that you need to worry about. I def support the focusing on yourself bc the more confidence you have in yourself the less insecure you will be once you actually get into a relationship so go you!! my gf and i are actually starting to facetime each other and work out together too so all of us can struggle in that tryin to be healthier lyfe! i think in one of the other asks you mention more happened? but i also think that maybe a bbq date with him wouldn’t be bad? and i think you should try to have it with just him and no one else! idk fill me in on any new developments :0
