I am extremely happy for Brian and Leighanne on their marriage. I had coffee with Leighanne in July, and from what I could tell of her then and what I have read about and saw of Brian, they seem like the perfect match. Sure, they have had, do have, and will have their problems, but what couple doesn't? As long as their love is true (which I believe it is), they will get past it all and grow old in each other's arms.I, as a fan, love Brian. He deserves to be happy and Leighanne makes him happy. Be happy for them...they are in love. If you don't like the marriage because you don't like Leighanne (for some reason I just couldn't imagine), go to websites dedicated to her and read up on her goings on. Or, you could e-mail me and I will tell you about my encounter with her in July. That day there proved it to me that she is a wonderful, intelligent, and beautiful person inside and out!
And, as for the person that said in pictures of both of them, at least one always looks pissed...I don't know what to think. I have many pictures of them with both of them smiling or laughing or whatever and absolutely no pictures of them looking like they didn't want to be there. And...about the age difference (5 1/2 years), my husband is 5 1/2 years older than me...is that not okay?
I wish Brian and Leighanne all the love, joy, and happiness in the world and I know they will do everything they can to keep each other happy. CONGRATULATIONS BRI & LEIGH!!!!!

TO INKA:Ok, listen, have you ever had a boyfriend, that you CLAIMED you were in love with? Well I have, and it turns out, I really didn't know him at all, just like YOU or anyone else doesnt really know Brian. And also, you don't have to stop LIKING him, but you dont even know him! You don't REALLY know him, you know all those stupid facts about him that they put in magazines, like his favorite color, and thats about it. No one can love someone they dont even know, and even if you do "love" him, you can still get over it, and accept that hes taken, and hes happy. How do you think Brian would feel if he heard all those bad things people are saying Leighanne? I wouldnt be surprised if he'd never want to perform for any of you ever again. Don't get me wrong, I too, am a big Brian fan, but c'mon, your life cant revolve around a person you dont even truly know. So c'mon, be happy for them, they're happy, and if you really knew them, and saw them together, you'd know that they're happy, and they plan to spend the rest of their lives together.

I think that both marriages are for brian and Leighanne or Kevin and Kristen to decide about. If you don't like it then tough luck. They wanted to get married and you should be happy for them no matter if they make a good couple or not. Maybe they don't always look great if photos but would you if fans are always wanting a picture or something? I know I wouldn't. Thanks for your time!

I really like Leighanne. She seems so cool. They make a great couple and of course i'm sad that Brian's married but it's not like he's gonna marry me so i'm very happy for him and leighanne.

TO TINA:I have to ask you one thing:why are you so mean?I don't understand why some people (like you) are telling others to stop loving Brian!I'll answer your guestion...If Brian wasn't famous and I would know him (because if he wasn't famous I wouldn't have ever heard about him) I would still love him.I actually want that he wasn't famous.I wouldn't care even if everyone would hate him and then hate me for being with him.I don't care if he's famous or not.I just love him.Do you think I want to love Brian???Well..the answer is no.Because I'll never be with him.I know that too well.But I just CAN'T stop loving him.And that's why I'm sad...And don't say that everyone who loves/likes Brian hates Leighanne and say rude things about her.I would never do that!I respect their marriage and I want them to stay married because I just want Brian to be happy.I think that Leighanne is a very nice person (well,I don't know her but I think so because if Brian married her she must be nice...).And don't tell people to "get over it"!I wish I could do that but I can't.You just hurt people by saying those things...So please don't do that anymore.

I've read a lot of entries on this topic and most of you as the fans will not like what I have to say. This is only my opinion. Which means it's not fact, just what I think about the situation. No I didn't pull anything out from my a$$!First, I'm not that excited about Brian getting married as I was for Kevin. The simple fact in my opinion is Kristin seem more real and down to earth than Leighanne. And probably because Kev was my favorite.
Second, Kevin's love for her doesn't seem as fake. There not cheesey like Brian and Leighanne. If you notice all the pictures that Kevin and Kristin are in they have smiles, look at each other, just plain having a good time. On the other hand if you look at photos with Bri and Leighanne one or both persons looks very pi$$ed off or not wanting to be there. Clothing has nothing to do with this statement what Leighanne decides to wear in her pictures is fine with me. Some outfits however are a little more revealing than others, but she's 30 and a big girl so that's that!
Third, (and I don't know this for a fact) but it seems to me that they don't fit together as a couple. You have Brian at age 25 marrying a 31 year old chick. That chick has big boobs and blonde hair. Leighanne doesn't come off like the intelligent kind. Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. I wouldn't know because I don't know them. I would just picture a more "plain jane" kind of girl with Brian. Someone who likes the same things as him, and has the same morals as him. Likes to go to church, etc. etc.! I can't see Leighanne in a head to toe dress every Sunday morning.
Finally, No I don't think Leighanne is using Brian for money. She was a wealthy actress before they meet and still is after. So for the few people that said Leighanne is only using Brian for his money, your just jealous and hurt over it and will come up with an excuse to make the situation have more drama than it already has.
And here's the kicker:
Hopefully all the things I said are wrong. But from what I predict in the future is that Kevin and Kristin will stay married until one or the other dies. But for Brian and Leighanne, I can't see them married for more than 4 or 5 years. Sorry kiddies I said it, they just don't look right together. And whether Brian is marrying her for all the wrong reasons, or Leighanne is marrying him for money. I still have no say so over his life. I hope they read this and prove me wrong in 20 or so years down the road.
Also for the person(s) who said that Leighanne was talking bad about the other band members. E-mail me a copy of what she said. If she did say such bad mean things to or about the band members, then why would Brian marry a b*tch. If such truth, Leighanne was wrong and I hope either Tyke bites her in the ass or Kristin kicks her ass.
P.S. Did Brian ever get his two dogs back?
And as for the fans:
KTBSPA!

Will you people give it a rest already? Their married. Get over it. Expecially all the teenyboppers who claim Leighanne is using him. Maybe she, maybe she isn't. That's for Brian to figure out. Not the "over controlling fans." Another thing, try and be nice and support the girlfriend, expect manDUH williford-she's gotta go. Nick can so much better than a person (or "it")who sings like a dying cat screeching for it's life.

I am overjoyed for Brian and Leighanne (and for Kevin & Kristen), all of them deserve all the happiness in the world and it brings warmth to my heart. All that matters to me IS THEIR HAPPINESS and if they are happy they will continue to make great music. If they even just have only half of the joy they have already given to this world, they have more than enough happiness for ten life times. Brian and Kevin (as well as AJ, Howie and Nick) are all FINE, incrediable, descent and highly intelligent men. They wouldn't have gotten married if Brian wasn't following his heart of gold. I wish them a lifetime of wedded bliss.

i'm really happy about brian's marriage.. it's very good to see that brian was a teenager then but now, he's a married man. for me, it's a good feeling that you see your idols now happy with their life. all i wish for him and for leighanne is good life and i hope they'll be stronger as they know each other better. for the fans who have a hard time accepting the truth, i think it would be better if you'll learn to understand
the couple coz' it would help them and i know it would make them happy. and it's a way where you can show that you love brian and the rest of the boys...

I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm very happy for Brian & Leighanne. I've met them in Florida about a year ago and they're just the most sweetest couple (okay, 2nd to Kevin & Kristen). If you're a true BSB fan, be happy for them. I'm sick and tired of teenyboppers saying she's a slut or a golddigger. At least she's doing something w/ her life, unlike other girlfriends (ex. Mandy Williford). I'm happy for them and wanna wish them the best of luck and wanna see some backstreet babies from both Kevy and Brian. See ya on Nov. 21. :-)
