Author's Note : Hi, this is the first fic I've ever written..it's very short but I hope you like it and please review!
Rachel Berry thought her stomach was used to butterflies. She'd performed enough in her life to know what it felt like to be nervous, to feel sick with anticipation over what was about to happen, whether everything would go perfectly. But nothing she'd ever done before could have prepared her for today. Today was the day she was finally marrying Finn Hudson, and she couldn't be more terrified.
'Calm down, Rachel!' Mercedes tells her, as they wait to walk down the aisle. Rachel's breathing overly fast as she smoothes her white satin dress and reaches to check her hair, up in a loose bun with a few curly loose tendrils daintily falling out.
'Don't.' Tina smiles. 'You look beautiful.'
Rachel nods gratefully, and then tries to focus on breathing. Any minute now, she thinks. God Rachel, breathe!
She still can't believe this is happening. It's too surreal. Standing here, with her bridesmaids, about to be married to the boy she'd been tethered too since the moment she laid eyes on him. They've had their ups and downs, but from their first slightly awkward kiss in the auditorium to him proposing a few months ago in the same place, they've always known they were soul mates. She can feel it when she looks at him.
Before she knows it, the music starts; a soft piano version of 'Faithfully'. The doors swing open and Mercedes and Tina step out, throwing glittery gold star confetti. For a moment, Rachel is alone in the small room. She closes her eyes, takes one final breath, then steps onto the aisle, ready to start the rest of her life.
