Here for numerous reasons:
#1. I want to improve.
#2. I want to learn.

#4. I want to be understood.

Anything offered is appreciated, including praise.

I can understand your point, though in the case of the marriage - this is our interpretation based on a reaction that many people have when under duress after, well, so many years of knowing each other (over 10 at this point, based on chapter 2 of the Frozen Teardrop novel). This can also easily be based off their behavior in animated canon. The old "birds of a feather" rings true here, and has for numerous individuals before us. Canonically, their impulsive behavior has been a fair constant, and Noin is rather good at this, also shows in the fact that she has no interest "in waiting". This can be interpreted as people wish, but I'd like to make, based on how Noin tends to act around Zechs based on their history, is applicable, or at least understandable from their view point.

Your point with Treize is valid, but however, this is not completely valid as Noin herself had very little to do with him - yes, he was her instructor, and yes she cared about him and went behind Zechs' back in the series to ask for advice, but the two were not as close as Zechs or Lady Une was to him (Treize himself states that Zechs and Lady Une are the two people who get him the best). In game with Treize, however, Zechs has reached out to him before as apart of an invite to said wedding, that the player was not around does not mean that he hasn't tried.
Also, considering Zechs' canon point that he's taken from, and barring that I am not playing him let alone have I tried recently to invest in his personal aims in that area, his association with Treize is going to be brief. Treize is dead. This is admittedly something that will tend to put most human beings off, to see the dead alive again, psychologically speaking, not to mention they didn't end on the best of terms. Also, the Treize in game is Treize to him, but is also a Treize who has no idea what he's gone through at this point, the duel that was ignored, the cannon that was fired (with Lady Une saving Treize from the blast), the roles that they have played and the pain and self hate that Zechs had felt at that final battle with Heero Yuy.

My question is to you then how does a married woman "put off CR"? Because when I think about the implications of that, it means that someone wanted something more out of either Zechs or Noin, and not just simple CR.

It has nothing to do with the fact that she's married, as I play a married character as well and none of my others have even met either of them, much less are interested in romance. It's that so much of the plot leading up to it seemed to be out of sight to me. And the idea of panfandom play isn't to just play with one or two people.

With Treize, from what I remember from my last canon review, they both still very much respected him, so not even mentioning the wedding until right before and then not inviting him? Seems off. And no, before you make the accusation, I'm not Treize-mun. "In game with Treize, however, Zechs has reached out to him before as apart of an invite to said wedding, that the player was not around does not mean that he hasn't tried." <

It was out of sight because it was rushed - and the rushing was intentional. It was an emotional response spurred on by them losing everything. They didn't debate on this, they did just jump into it (characteristic of them still).
And I am perfectly aware of that, neither Z or N have been exclusively tagging just each other.

Respected, perhaps, but Noin also ended up leaving OZ to follow Zechs, and was more than willing to do anything for him over OZ and Treize. They're quite good at being spontaneous.
http://gargleblasted.livejournal.com/1669054.html This thread, as far as I know, was intended to be used to invite Treize to the wedding, but as the player went on hiatus, there was little to be done. Also, I think if you're going to come to me with Zechs' CR with Treize, I would ask you not to. That's rude to the mun and that's rude to me. I would ask that if you're going to critique Zechs-mun, I'd suggest you go to them with your crits about them since it would be Zechs who would talk to Treize about the wedding.

And really, in my opinion, Treize IS a noble, which also means that he could, legitimately, crash whatever the hell he wanted. Nobles are notorious at being able to do this, their position in the aristocracy allows and sometimes even encourages this behavior. Episode 14 gives an example of Noin and Relena doing so as Relena jumps up on stage and interrupts the party to berate everyone in the room.
I've also heard that Treize, when he first posted, has absolutely no problem breaking even into private rooms. This sets a precedence. But if you're going to crit that as well, I'd suggest that you give this information to the Treize-mun, and not to me since I cannot speak for them either.
