  1. The article was great. You got most of the facts right. My only issue is that you spelled every single name wrong except for Kirstin’s. It’s mostly just the other band member’s last names. There were a lot of typos that you may want to fix:)

  2. There are a lot of strange statements and mistakes… Jeremy & Kirstin never talked about exanging new vows after breaking up, and never did. She’s in another relationship now. And PLEASE check the name spellings before writting, after all they are all rather famous! And their website at least could be a great source of verified infos… Correct names are Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kevin Olusola, Avi Kaplan replaced in 2017 by Matt Sallee. Hard to trust what’s said here after noticing such mistakes…
