Post 14: Zerrie (1-9-14)

Again, like I mentioned in my previous two posts, three of the five members of One Direction are in relationships. Now why do I say "relationships"? Why can't I simply say "girlfriends"? Well, that's simply because this last member does not have a girlfriend, he has a fiancée. That's right. In August, on The Today Show Zayn Malik annoucned his engagement to his girlfriend, Perrie Edwards. Everyone in the fandom seems to have an opinion on this, and I'm no different.

When Zerrie first got together a few years ago it seemed like it wouldn't last; at least that's what I thought. When Zerrie got together, Liam was with his old girlfriend, Danielle, and Louis was with Eleanor. Of the three, Liam and Danielle seemed most likely to stay together and get married
(but we see how well that worked out) and Zerrie seemed pretty unsteady. I guess I just figured two celebrities would never work ot together, but maybe that's why they worked so well.

Perrie is a member of a british girl group called Little Mix. Much like One Direction, Little Mix was formed on the UK version of the X Factor, and then proceeded to become popular in America. One Direction was on the X Factor series 7 and then returned to the X Factor series 8 finale to perform. It was there that Zayn met Perrie, and the rest is history.

Honestly, I don't know if the engagement is such a good idea right now. Both groups are pretty popular right now and are touring for most of the year. The way the schedules work out, One Direction always seems to be on tour when Little Mix is not, and vice versa. I'm sure that Perrie and Zayn don't get much face to face time together. Also, the pair is only 20. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think that's pretty young. They're not going to get married right away because of their hectic schedules, so why get engaged so early?

I do love the idea of Zayn and Perrie together, so I am happy that they are getting married. I just think that getting married so early might not be the best idea. I'm also not so sure as to why they got engaged so early if they're not even planning to get married right away. I guess Zayn was just following Beyonce's advice by putting a ring on it.
