don't lose me in the rain

Blaine had been the one with plans and dreams for his wedding day when he was a kid, even long before he'd come to terms with the fact that he didn't want the person next to him to be his bride. It was all rooted in that desire for the perfect fairytale ending, complete with bells and whistles and potentially even fireworks if he had the proper connections for that sort of thing. Blaine's parents probably even knew that, if his tendency to marry off his bears as a toddler was any sort of indication (despite the fact that, actually, he'd grown out of that bear phase pretty quickly and moved on to choreographing routines with Cooper. Though, his obsession with Valentine's Day had started during toddlerhood, and, as soon as he reached middle-childhood, he'd even begun pushing his parents out the door every year for their wedding anniversary. So, needless to say, Blaine never really stopped being the romantic of the household, even once he put down the wedded teddy bears).

My Professor: Research has found that - out of couples that move in together at some point in their relationship - only fifty percent of them later get married.
