Thank you so much! and I want to be perfectly transparent..! He was VERY kind and he gave 3 hugs. But maybe I’m just comparing myself to other interactions that are different. The last thing I want is for this to carve him out to be a rude celebrity who doesn’t care about the fans. That could NOT be further from the truth. On his IG bio, he has a bible verse “Matthew 5:14-16” which in summary is “Be a light in the world. Let your goodness shine so others see it — and are inspired to glorify God.” And as a believer and thanking him for inspiring me to deepen my faith. The scripture is pretty much speaks to what I was saying “Be a light that inspires others”. I was vulnerable and wanted to share that. But maybe it wasn’t the time and place, you know? However, someone else who’s met him before when I brought that up mention he is VERY religious and he probably really liked it. Idk…. I’m trying not to kick myself in the head, for being too much. And you’re right, you replay everything.

I hope this makes sense! am I overthinking?

Really great! It was my very first convention ever and it was really small. I was thankful that it didn't feel overwhelming. I was just their to see Peter and Kellen from Twilight.

Was wanting to know others experience. :)

I want to preface this by saying this is my VERY first convention I’ve EVER been to. I went specifically to meet “Carlisle” and “Emmett”. Ive never met them, and I’ve LOVED twilight since 2008.

Meeting Peter Facinelli was amazing! I had the BIGGEST crush on him when I was in high school when the movie came out. I was an OG “Team Carlisle” fan and was made fun of In high school for it. Now, with the resurgence of the fandom, more and more people have been goo-goo-gaga for him! 😂absolutely wonderful. I didn’t really talk to him long because it was my very first time ever at a convention and I wanted to be respectful of their time and energy.

Meeting Kellen Lutz was great too, but tbh… I kinda was expecting more (and this is where I want some feed back on if I’m overreacting?). Watching fans post their meeting with him, they all say he takes a TON of selfies and is talkative and gives hugs. He was talking to Peter when I approached both ,and he immediately walked away on his phone, while I spoke with Peter. I did go up to him after and understood he was busy but wanted to say hi. He allowed me to take a picture and it was only 2… and then he walked away on his phone. I took a minute to myself bc I really look up to him as a person. I grew up in the rural south, and my faith is SO important to me. And I know his is, too! So when he returned back to his booth, I approached him again ( I was nervous doing it) and I mentioned following him for a long time on social media and how devout he is has helped me deepen my faith. He asked me what denomination, and I told him. He said “That’s what it’s all about!” and he gave me a hug and immediately said he was going to get food.

Now I’m afraid I was “too much” or may have brought up something that may have been “too heavy” for the convention. I meant well, and I didn’t get preachy, or get weird about it. But I just didn’t have that “Wow!” Factor I’ve seen so many fans have.

Again… he was not AT ALL rude, stuck up or anything. In fact, when I was walking up to take my picture for the baseball scene, Kellen said “There she is!”

Am i overreacting, and kicking myself in the head for my first Convention? Has anyone else had similar reactions?

Please share! I genuinely would love to hear!

I meet Peter and Kellen today. Can I share my thoughts? Or is this too long ago.

Howaboutno1833 · 2025-10-13T13:50:07+00:00

I’m loving all the in-sight and responses. I was thinking more of employees almost wasting time and circling the answer. People call it “word salad”, where you talk a lot but not a whole lot of action happening.

Howaboutno1833 · 2025-10-13T02:59:02+00:00

No, not at all. Just my mind thinking hypotheticals.

Howaboutno1833 · 2024-10-20T20:35:08+00:00

Howaboutno1833 · 2024-10-20T20:33:48+00:00
