It just seems a weird coincidence that he would mention him a lot in the series and do we really know if he said that if he didn't want to upset her too much? No. In fact, if Mermando never really cared about Mabel at all, he wouldn't have even sent those letters in the first place. And like I said to someone else, it just SEEMS like it will be canon based on Alex Hirsch's tweet. "Now that Wendy X Dipper is over, time to work on Dipper X Pacifica!" I still believe it works if the two characters both love each other and there IS a chance Mermando may escape the wedding. (Notice, I said "may") And the ship could MAYBE happen in canon, so people shouldn't be all "WELP, MERMABEL IS OVER YA DOPES!" So yeah.
