I Ship It Sundays - Rierra

I wanted to do an I Ship It Sundays on my Instagram page, but I couldn't keep to it. So! I am going to keep to it here, on my blog,

First things first. What is a ship?
A ship is a relationship, or sometimes friendship between two people. Fans coined "ship" names for their favorite coupled. Some examples are Brangelina, Kimye, Bennifer, TomKat, Moncele, and many others,

For the first segment of I Ship It Sundays is Rierra.

If you don't know what Rierra, chances are you have never seen the Phantom of the Opera 25th anniversary at Royal Albert Hall.

BUT that's okay!

Here's a clip of Rierra:

So that is Rierra. Rierra is made up of Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess. You probably recognize them from my earlier blog post, "My Angels of Music".

What is Rierra?
Team Rierra, the ship names created by fans of Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo. The name, Rierra, was created bey loving an devoted fans that see the two actors as a couple. Rierra is the couple and Team Rierra is the fans who ship them together. I remember watching Phantom 25 for the first time and falling in love with Karimloo and Boggess' performance together. They have so much chemistry. Although Rierra is not a real life couple, they have amazing chemistry together and they work beautifully together,
Tell me they don't love each other! I dare ya!
I have been a Rierra fan for four years. As soon as I watched Phantom 25 I just fell in love with them separate and as a couple. They are both talented actors and singers. They have so much chemistry between them. In reality they are just good friends. Karimloo has stated, "It's not about wanting to work with her. I don't want to work with her, I need to." If you ship a couple, you know that a simple statement like this will kill you, emotionally. When Boggess spoke about when they first met, she said. "There was instant chemistry." And that instant chemistry has followed them in all of their performances and interviews together, I think that they make each other happy. When someone asked Karimloo, if he missed Boggess, he answered, "Always" and followed with an explanation that they write letters to each other. I think that it's romantic. They also go back and forth on Twitter and I think that it's the most adorable thing ever.

If there was any couple I believed in, it would be Rierra. Rierra is THE OTP.

Team Rierra forever!!
