Ben and Lauren Happily Ever After - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Like come on. Did I seriously just sit through 8 weeks of scripted torture from my faves to be left with QUESTIONS?! Am I the only one confused????

No, you're not the only one, and unless there's some kind of a press release by tomorrow, there will be plenty more confused I'm sure. They've been giving a lot of interviews lately that make it sound like the wedding isn't anytime soon and now it's supposedly back on, but no one knows when, even though Ben said we'd find out. Someone needs to clear things up otherwise this whole thing is even more pointless than it already was.

If the wedding is indeed in January or February they would have to know when already. Every other couple knew when at least three months in advance. Either they are really good at playing dumb about when it is or it's not as soon as some think.

IMO, if there's no announcement in the next two weeks I don't think it's happening while Nick's season is airing.

I took this all to mean that the wedding is on as in "fake reality tv engagement is still on and we'll get married in the nebulous future."

If Ben/Lauren knew months ago that the potential wedding would take place this winter/February then there's no way IMO that ABC/production wouldn't already know the date they would want it to take place, which makes this all more ridiculous that there wasn't an actual date given tonight IMO.

If they're going the announcement in People or Us Weekly route, it better be this week otherwise I tend to think no wedding this winter in the next 2-3 months. IMO

^^ I don't disagree. But, Jade/Tanner and Ashley/JP had less then 3 months. They had like 6 weeks max, Janner maybe less. I don't think Jason and Molly got 3 whole months either.

SeanCat got by far the largest grace period. I'm not gonna pretend I know what's going on cause I definitely DON'T, but BenLo could have a ballpark for when it is, know it's happening and are just waiting for the concrete date. But who the flip knows.

I love BenLo. They are still my faves. I hope they have a beautiful wedding that I get to see and soon. But this show was dumb.

I don't mean that all are announced at least three months in advance, I mean the couple knows the date at least three months in advance. Jade and tanner may be the anomaly if it's true that they weren't the first choice.

If the wedding is happening in February, I would be 99% positive they know when. ABC probably has their schedule almost finalized with not a lot of room for additions at this point.

Well one of the twins tweeted this:


THE WEDDING IS BACK ON!!! Yayyyyy!!!

^ It was never off.

IMO.

Love Ben and Lauren! I just saw the part where they are doing the fertility samples--that was not what I was expecting at all. Honestly, could have done without that.

So what do you think Len? Televised in February? I still don't feel like we have closure at all.

I think the "wedding is off" was the terminology for "we're not sure if we are ready to get married this winter." It was never that they were going to break up or never get married.

Since they didn't announce the date tonight and if we don't get an announcement in the next week or two I would say the status is the same. There's no way IMO that ABC/production wouldn't have a date already that they would want it to be.

^^ Right. I never got the vibe that the "wedding was off" meant the engagement was off. I always had the feeling it was just postponed, if anything. So to me, that makes it even more stupid if the big reveal at the end is just "yeah! The wedding is still on for the hypothetical future!" Cause that's how it always was once Ben "called off the wedding."

I have a migraine. Someone alert me when we know anything official. Please, please, please ... if there has to be a season 2, I want better writers.
