AIBU?

To not be bothered by Brangelina wedding but rather would have preferred to hear about Jennifer Aniston getting hitched

Is it just me? I have never quite forgiven Angelina for what I think happened between her and Brad on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith. Yes she does a lot of good work but I still wish she had kept her paws off a married man. Still prefer Jen. Come on Justin.

Just you.

Brad was the one who walked out on his marriage, not Angelina. Why not have a go at the married man?

seasavage · 31/08/2014 01:14

Yabu. Who wants any hype / publicity about the relationships of people they don't know (especially where there is this weird 'blaming' by the press of one of two women, not the guy nor just that it's probably all personal, sad and one of those things?)

steff13 · 31/08/2014 01:17

Jennifer and Brad have both stated publicly that they were already separated before he and Angelina got together. I wasn't there, so I have to believe that is true. It's been a zillion years. Everyone's moved on.

MrsTerryPratchett · 31/08/2014 01:22

I blame Brad and, frankly, he's no prize. Angelina has done a lot for the UN and the majority world.

AgentZigzag · 31/08/2014 01:25

You're just jealous of our Ange Grin

What's Justin (Bieber?) got to do with it? Confused

Anyone got any theories on why they decided to get married after nearly 10 years?

Does it mean they're about to imminently split?

Willow33 · 31/08/2014 01:27

Yes I ought to blame Brad too. But as far as I know, Brad and Jen weren't separated but still together when Ms Jolie appeared on the scene.

I'm with MrsTerryPrachett, is take Angelina over Brad or Jennifer, frankly.

Willow33 · 31/08/2014 01:30

Ha! Ha! Justin Thereoux - Jen's fiance of a while...
I think Brangelina got married cos their kids wanted them to be amongst other reasons.

im with you OP

AgentZigzag · 31/08/2014 01:34

Letting their children dictate such big life decisions eh?

I'm sure AIBU MNetters would have something to say about that if asked Grin

I bet there are a good many threads she could start that'd make for an interesting read.

MrsTerryPratchett · 31/08/2014 01:37

Didn't they say they were waiting until equal marriage was a thing in the States? It's sort of halfway there so maybe they thought it was time.

mynewpassion · 31/08/2014 01:45

I see it different slightly. They seem already married except for the legal paper so it wasn't like a big deal. My reaction was "Oh, that's nice" almost meh about the whole thing.

George Clooney getting engaged was more of shocker. Jennifer Aniston actually getting married would be a shocker.

AgentZigzag · 31/08/2014 01:50

As like a protest thing you mean MrsTP? That they're not going to do it until it's fair, or they were waiting because it'd mean a change in their legal statuses?

Italiangreyhound · 31/08/2014 01:51

Angelina Jolie does amazing work. Whatever the details of her private life I think she is a truelove incredible woman.

I am not at all a fan of marriages breaking up and all the hurt of broken relationships but Brad Pitt was the married one, not Angelina, if his marriage was not over before he met her why simply blame her. He must have made choices. And if their marriage was over then they would have the freedom to get together.

Italiangreyhound · 31/08/2014 01:51

truly not truelove!

MrsTerryPratchett · 31/08/2014 02:06

They said that until gay people were able to marry, they wouldn't. This article mentions it.

superstarheartbreaker · 31/08/2014 02:26

I like Ange but she did say she couldn't wait to get to work every day when her and Brad were on mr and mrs Smith . He was still married.
She does good work but how much of that is PR?

LRDtheFeministDragon · 31/08/2014 02:48

S'true.

Poor Brad had no will of his own.

And poor Jen wants nothing more to be wedded, as all woman love weddings.

Oh, shit, sorry ... OP, you and I see to be posting from 1952, whoops!

steff13 · 31/08/2014 02:52

To be fair to the OP, Jennifer Anniston and Justin Theroux are engaged, which would lead one to believe that she does intend to be married at some point.

FixItUpChappie · 31/08/2014 03:02

How on earth can one think they know enough about these people and thier lives to even form an opinion Confused

For all we know Jennifer Aniston could be an insufferable jerk or.....perhaps not - who knows really but them?

Alisvolatpropiis · 31/08/2014 03:02

Grin @ LRD

I find the fanfare around Jennifer Aniston's love life tedious in the extreme. I imagine she must be views to tears to by it. If she wanted to be married now, then I imagine she would be. It would seem that she does not.

Bored, not views

LRDtheFeministDragon · 31/08/2014 03:10

alis - oh, you are so right!

I mean ... she's been with Brad Pitt back when he used to be sexy. She has often been considered one of the hottest women ever. I think she could find a bloke if she wanted one! Grin

AgentZigzag · 31/08/2014 03:12

What I don't know about them in reality FixItUp, I just make up, before passing the nugget on.

Much like posting on MN really Grin

I don't actually go in for all the celeb lifestyle bollocks, but I like his films and she comes up in news reports (of all things, stood next to sleezy politicians) so I can't help but wonder why they're making the decisions they make.

They're people just like the rest of us internet randoms, and I can pass the same judgements on them as I do about the couple down at No 43.
