I, for one, am truly truly happy that Brian and Kevin are getting married. They (along with the rest of the boys) deserveso much happiness. They have the right to live NORMAL lives. I am really disappointed, though, in all the supposed
"FANS" that suddenly want to love NSYNC! (UGH!!!!!!!!!) Why? What's that gonna prove? TRUE BSB fans know
that these 5 talented guys aren't here because they look good. They're here because they have the charisma and true talent that many other groups don't
have. AND they have the BEST fans in the world.....at least until now. So come on! Show your BSB pride! Support them
in everything they do. They give us all they have to give. Shouldn't we do the same for them?

Hi,I also must comment on the things being said about the "engagements". I am very very happy to see so much
acceptance of the Backstreet Finacees. That's what they need at a time like this. But some fans still have the lingering imgage that brian, or Kev would eventually fall for them, when it was obviously Brian was head over heels devoted to Leighanne for 3 years, and Kevin still loved his girlfriend for the 7 years they have been together.
I admit, being 19, when I was fan back in 96' way back,
I thought "oh yeah, when brian sees me, he'll falls in love with me". But that was 4 years ago. I met Leighanne a while back, and she was such an awesome person to talk to. She has the sweetest demenor, and the her and Brian definetly deserve the best. I'm so glad, if Brian hand't chosen me, I'm glad he got someone like Leighanne. As far as Kev and Krsitin go, I flew out to orlando for the "Orlando Bands Together", and I saw her and Kevin all happy and together, and I knew this girl was so meant for him. All I'm trying to say is that the guys are happy... so we should be happy for them!! Both girls are geniunely nice, pretty, and so perfect for the guys. I wish my boyfriend was like that, he's turning 25.. like Brian and we have no enegament insight, although we've only been dating for 2 years. But we love eachother and I can understand the love that both Kev and Brian feel for their finacees cause I feel it for my boyfriend. So with that I wish them the best of luck, happiness, and that they get everything, and have everything they have hoped for.
Christina.

Truthfully, I wasn't surprised. I can say that I was extremely jealous, who wouldn't want to be engaged to those 2 fine guys, Brian and Kevin. But I must say that I thought about that and I am extremely happy for the guys and Leighanne and Kristen. Last night I went to a concert in Raleigh and my friends and I held up a sign saying congrats to Brian about the engagement. He read it and he waved to us and smiled. That made my day that he was happy. All I have to say is that CONGRATS to them and true BSB fans stick to them no matter what! KTBPA!

Okay straight up- i wasn't suprised. i saw it coming from like a mile away. This will definetly test whether fans like the music or looks... i think they are being really...trustworthy i guess you can say...about being really open to the media. what i wanna know is what the other members of the group think...cause brian and kevin and their "news" could (keyword=COULD hope not) do a number on their success. Or maybe its a BIG conspiracy that they really want the group to end... ya never know... (J/K) well its all good anyway. (by the way if anyone has a picture of kristin willits will you please e-mail me....but not the pic because it doesn't show up on my e-mail thing or whatever...)LIVE LOVE AND BELIEVE
rand remember all u heartbroken fans...there is always your dreams... (was that mean?? i didn't mean it to be...)

I was unhappy when I heard about the new of Brian and Kevin being engaged.But then I sat down and thought about it and what if there "fianc's" want them to stay at home when they get married then the BSB will have to break-up and being a BSB #1 fan in Oklahoma I hope that they never break up but if they want to make there future wife's happy then they will do anything for there wive's.And that includes breaking up the BSB.Sooo I'M STILL UNHAPPY!!!WHY COULDN'T THEY WAIT TILL THERE CONTRACT'S WERE UP OR SOMETHING? I LOVE HOWIE WITH ALL MY HEART BUT I THINK THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY AND NOT REPEAT NOT BREAK UP THE BSB.

First, I want to say Congrats to Brian & Kevin!I am so shocked at the response about the engangements of these 2 men that we supposedly adore, Bri and Kev. I know, from the bottom of my heart, that I adore these men along with the other Backstreeters more than any other musicians in the world. They are wonderful, and have great talent. I can't believe what people have said. The Backstreet Boys do so much for us, the fans, and people are treating them with so much disrespect! The one that hurts the most is "I am not happy for Brian and Kevin." How can you not be happy for them? You know and I know that they expected us to be much more mature than that and support them in their new step. I'm sure that you people have NOT met Leighanne or Kev's fiancee, but are just saying that you have so you can call them names. I, myself, am so utterly happy for them. Because whatever makes them happy, makes me happy. Everyone has to love, and be loved by someone special in their life. Now Brian and Kevin have these women that they love, and you are putting them down. The BSB still love us, the fans, but in a different way. But now that you people have said such bad things about them, who knows? Maybe they will have less respect for us. I hope not, because they are great people and, you cannot forget, they are NORMAL people. Normal guys. They can do whatever they want and shouldn't have to be scolded by people who supposedly love them. You are being so immature, it's a shame to the "Backstreet Pride" itself. SHAME ON YOU.
Now, I am proud to be a part of the Backstreet Phenomenon and of the fact that they are getting married. I'd like to now say congratulations to the two new couples:
*Mr. & Mrs. Brian Thomas Littrell*
*Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Scott Richardson*
Kentucky's Finest!
KTBPA,
Cindy

I am sooo happy for Brian and Kevin! The only downslide to this is, well, after the 2 are married, are they still wanna be in the BSB??? That kind of worries me, and me and my friend thought up of something. After the 2 are married, things MIGHT get hectic. And that would lead to the break-up of the BSB, or the break-up of Brian and Kev's marriage. :( I really don't want it to happen to either of them! Oh, and I have read a lot of things that people are going to Nsync, because no one there is engaged. I'll tell you one thing- True BSB fans shouldn't do that! You should be happy for them, I would never listen to Nsuck for that reason!!!

Ok first I'll start off by saying I am extremely happy for Brian and Kevin. When I heard the news I couldn't stop smiling. They have been going out with their girlfriends for a long time. They totally deserve it.Second. All you little dillusional teeny boppers who call their girlfriends b****s......GET A LIFE! It disgusts me how so many people are saying aw! Brian should be marrying me! I'm gonna kill Leighanne! What the hell? They're girlfriends never did anything to you. So back off. How about I wish Kev and Brian the best of luck?
You obsessed fools need to get a life. And give them a break for gods sake!

Girls(and guys) we all need to band together!!! We gotta keep the pride alive!!!!!! We don't wanna see the Boys go down do we? Come on!! Lets support 'em!! Thanx fer listening to what I have to say!

Hey. First of All, I'd like to say Congradulations to Kevin and Brian for a love finally found. At first when I heard the news, I was really really sad. But then I got over it when I thought of how happy they must be now that they have found someone that they really love. I love them as much as everybody else does but please Be Mature About It!! If you're a real fan u should be happy that they're happy. Don't go insulting them and they're girlfriends. To all those people who are insulting Leighanne and Kristin, stop it!! They are both very beautiful girls and if Brian and Kevin are happy with them they must also be very nice, caring and loving people. The Boys are entitled to a personal life outside of their career. And don't, I repeat, DON'T just dump BSB cuz 2 of them are getting married. Don't go be an N*Sync fan. That's just wrong!! U should like BSB mostly for their music.
I've just about said everything that's on my mind. Once again Congradulations to Brian, Leighanne, Kevin and Kristin. I wish u all the happiness that this world can provide u with.
Love Alwayz,
Jackie

Ok, you guys, I know that a lot of people are really upset about this whole engagement deal. But I for one,am so incredibly happy for Brian and Kevin!!! I've been a fan of theirs for about 3 years, and in the beginning
I was one of those fans who someday visualized myself as being Mrs. Brian Littrell, which there is nothing
wrong with, but eventually, reality has to hit each and every one of us who has ever felt this way about any
celebrity. And reality is that chances are, most of us will never meet our celebrity "dream guy". And you have
to understand that. Brian and Kevin have always been my favorites, and I think part of it, is because they've
always fit the part of what I want my future husband to be like. First of all they're Christians, they both
have great personalitys, they love music, and they're just all in all really great guys. And come on you guys!!
They're great people, anyone who can make them happy has to be great too! But lately I really haven't liked what
I've heard people saying about their fiancees. First of all, you don't know them!! So what reason do you have
to make up stuff about them. Just because they're going to be marrying "your guy"?? I'm sorry I don't
mean to sound harsh but it is really the truth. I mean, I've heard people saying that Leighanne is a bimbo, a ditz.
a snob, and blah blah blah. And most of it is just based on her appearance! That is so cruel!!! First of all, she's
gorgeous, and there's nothing wrong with that!! Secondly, fans who have met her, have always commented on
how nice she was to them. I know nothing about Kev's fiancee, but I'm sure she's great, after all, he proposed
to her didn't he?? So you guys please, if you love them as much as you say you do, give it up and just be happy
for them. They're just normal guys, who happen to have to live life in the spotlight, and they deserve to love and
be loved as much as every other person in this world. So with a final thought, Keep the Backstreet Pride Alive!!

Now what do you think about it? I think it's great, Brian and Kevin will be Happy!
Will this change your perspective on the group?Definately! I think we will get to see a different side of the guys. I mean we'll get to see them totally in love. I think their music will mature because they have experienced what they are singing. It will make the music even more intense!
Will you like them more? Less? The
same? MOre, definately!
Are you happy for them? Does this make you feel unhappy? No I am Definately Happy for them. I wish that I can be that happy too when I get older.... I am not gonna get upset, It's not like the Boys are splitting up! I mean THEy HAVE to put out 5 more albums or they go Broke... All though I would hate the fact of knowing that they were making music Because they HAD too. Let's just BE happy for the guys and SHow them our Bakcstreet pride!

I'm happy for them. Personally, I think it should have happened sooner, but they are finally doing it. I admit it's weird in the Brian/Leighanne thing, but if they really love each other. And they are both mature enough to have a relationship based on anything but age. I think people need to get over it, stop crying because we all liked them for their music anyways. GET OVER IT. And though i believe age doesn't mean much in their case, IF YOU ARE LIKE A TWELVE YEAR OLD TEENY BOPPER...STOP COMPLAINING!!!! If any of the BSB guys want to go out with someone who's mature, and at least legal in some way...not someone who's barely hit puberty. Okay. Good Luck

Oh, by the way,QUIT SAYING ONE OF THE BOYS IS YOURS!
my god, how many girls "own" them by now, huh?
HAVE they even met you? NO.
People, PLEASE remeber they are PEOPLE! they cry, they laugh, they sweat and puke and bleed and they can feel pain.
We are ALL the same in the long run, and beleive me, if you had millions of little boys claiming you were "theres" you wouldent be happy.

When I first heard the news on MTV, I was in shock, but we all should have know this was coming. And I have to say, Iam SO proud of Brian and Kevin for being upfront with the fans and telling us. This will really help people realize that BSB
is about the music, and that is what should be important. And if Kevin, Brian, or either of their fiances happen to come across
this, please let me be the first to wish you all the best of luck and all the happiness in the world. I think that this is something
that will help everyone. Nobody should have to put their personal life, and needs on hold for their career. And for all of those
who are detemined to have problems with this, just think of all they have done to make us happy and all they have sacraficed.
Now they need us to be understanding and realize that this is what is going to make them happy. Try and be understanding, after
all, it is the least we can do to pay them back for everything they have done for us!
Once again, I wish the best for the soon-to-be couples, and hope that God will grant you happiness for many, many years! :-) Peace!

When i found out, i laughed, because i knew one of my friends would freak out, being the kevin fanatic she is. I never expected the respsonsethat i really got from her. She cried, and whined, saying how she could Love him more. the next day, when she was over the whole ordeal, she said "They won't last, as soon as their married,there done with." I found that comment disturbing for some reson, as a matter of fact i found the whole responce disturbing. A: because if she was a real fan, and respected him as a artist, she would have been extremly happy for him, and B: Will they lose fans because they are happy? i'm extremely happy for Brian and Leighanne, and Kevin and his Fiance, because i'm assuming their inlove with eachother, and i wish them the best of luck.
Leighanne and kevin's girl are extremely lucky, yes, but thats no need for fans to go nuts, i mean honestly, there normal men with real lifes behind the whole BSB thing. they feel, and obviously they think this is the right step to take. I mean COMEON, do you ACUALY think you and whatever BSB you like, would make the perfect couple?! age diffrence and all? I would die to be the woman in AJ's life, but i know its not a reality, and i wish AJ and Amanda or whoever he ends up marrying the best of luck, cause i WANT him to be happy!
So heres a tip for all of you who arn't happy for them, and want them for yourselfs, Think about your eutopia, not a priticular person, but acualy finding someone who you absolutely love in your heart and soul, and you'll see that you hope everyone can be as lucky to find that feeling, and be happy your "guys" found it.
To Brian and Kevin,
I wish you the best of luck for years to come, and i'm so happy that you found your true loves. Love is a thing that rules above all things, good and evil, and it will concure all, and it will live past this lifetime and the next.
