Frankly speaking my first reaction after seeing those Dispatch released pics of LSG with LDI and his grandmother was"Dude,this guy is getting serious here".
Then I got reminded of his palm reading and predictions of various fortune tellers as well plus it's no brainer to see that he indeed is very much in love and happy.
Reality sucks I know but it always wins over expectation.
I think he was already prepared for the backlash he is receiving right now.
