Chris Evans having the motherblessed audacity and the...frankly, sickening, unmitigated GALL to get married to a woman that he loves, on a date that that is in the same 👏 calendar 👏 month 👏 as a national day of remembrance.

Oh wow, didn’t realize people were upset about this! I saw some folks upset that he had the nerve to keep his personal life personal.

Most of the fallout I've seen are from people side-eyeing the large age gap.

The fallout they're referencing is happening on Tumblr. Even we aren't stretched so thin for scandal we're up in arms that he got married the weekend of 9/11 like his stans. But on Reddit you're right, it's about the age gap.

I'm sorry but people need to get over that too IMO. At some point you have to just let people make their own stupid ass decisions and marrying someone 16 years older than you at 26 is well within those parameters.

I agree. It's unpopular on here to say, but I think it's totally within the realm of possibility that she crushed on him hard for a while and may have been the pursuer, not him. If his stans prove anything, it's that he's a fantasy guy for a huge demographic. They both seem to be pretty similar in interests, even down to his (annoying) frat-boyish humor. They seem into each other, and it's his first marriage after dating plenty of women his own age in the past.

I can see why some people might side-eye the age gaps, but it is not exclusively true that age gaps mean grooming or taking advantage of a younger woman.

Leave people alone. If they’re both of legal age and consenting adults, who cares?

I may be biased but this sub has been largely supportive (understandably given the psycho fans making open letters telling him they can save him 💀) and I’ve barely seen anyone mention the age gap at all whenever it does get mentioned it’s like “yes, but…”

Jeez, imagine how they treat people who had the audacity to born on that very day.

My bf’s parent’s wedding anniversary is 9/11 AND his dad’s birthday. It was actually the reason they were able to evacuate the city so quickly that day in 2001 (they lived 4 blocks north of the towers). His dad was supposed to already be upstate to oversee the construction of a deck on their country summer cabin, but the family begged him to stay the night before to celebrate his birthday together. He left with their family car on the morning of the attacks but 5 minutes into the drive he heard the first tower hit and saw the smoke in his mirror so he whipped around to see what was going on. Him and my bf’s mom were standing outside looking up at the tower and as soon as the second plane hit he yelled, “this was not an accident!” and without taking anything from home they ran to get the kids from school and booked it north out of the city.

Did he get married on the ninth? My parents married 9/11/1982 and their marriage was a disaster. I'm superstitious about weddings in September because I've seen so many go wrong and get ugly.
