A/N: This is going to seem like a story where everyone is very OOC and they are, but it's a plot bunny that's been attacking my brain for a couple of days and it's one that won't go away in a hurry so I'm really only humouring the bunny! But please let me know what you think and whether I should continue! Reviewers will receive virtual cookies (which are very tasty!).
Enjoy!
Wedding Jitters
Everyone was nervous, but perhaps none more than one Kurt Hummel. Sure, it was a mass wedding event and that meant everyone was nervous but, on top of usual Big-Day jitters, Kurt (as usual) had taken it upon himself to take charge of helping everyone look their best today. This was a massive job, as there was so much going on and so much to look forward to, ceremonies-wise. Needless to say, Kurt was hoping this would be one of his projects that went perfectly (not that they were known to fail too often!).
Down the hall from Kurt, his stepbrother Finn Hudson had just woken up, thoughts of I'm marrying Rachel today and It's MY wedding day today flowing through his brain (followed quickly by HOLY CRAP and Well, actually, it's a Mega-Wedding Day!. He grinned up into the growing light in his room and got up. He knew his stepbrother down the hall would be starting to fuss in his mind about now, and he wanted to offer whatever advice he could (even though he knew Kurt would fuss non-stop until the end of this day, because he was an absolute perfectionist) to the soprano. Kurt had been over the schedule of the day to him so many times, he swore he could have recited it in his sleep (and possibly had, for all he knew!).
"Morning Kurt" Finn said quietly, after he'd knocked on his stepbrother's door and entered after no protest was put up. He prepared himself for the onslaught of Kurt which he had doubt would boil over any second and sure enough, it did. "Morning Finn!" Kurt sparkled happily and Finn couldn't help but give a half smile (despite his own nervousness) at his stepbrother's morning-chirpiness and as Kurt continued "Well we'd better get moving! We've got much to do before we go meet the rest of them and I go see the girls and such – don't worry, I won't sneak in with you guys to see Blaine, I promise!" he added with a more serious expression at this last comment and Finn couldn't help the widening grin on his face as he bit back a chuckle.
He held up his hands in mock protest "Hey, I never said a word!" he teased as Kurt gave him that look which said Don't tease me about being the girl, I already know and I'm gonna get enough of that today!. They both smiled as they each lost themselves in their thoughts for a moment before Kurt shook himself slightly and continued to spew facts and information about their day. "Kurt…" Finn interrupted, holding up his hands to distract the soprano's attention "I only came in to say good luck, dude" he said quietly, and Kurt stopped his ramblings for a moment to smile to himself as Finn continued "I'm glad everything worked out for, well, everyone, but for you and Blaine. C'mon, let's go down and see if we can survive the onslaught of our parents long enough to come back to get ready!" he joked and Kurt gave him a mock glare then strolled over to join him by the door.

A good two hours later, Kurt and Finn had gathered their wedding suits and such and were on their way to the huge estate where the mass wedding day was being held on that fine summer Saturday. This was an unusual day for all involved, not least of all the celebrant and minister performing the multiple ceremonies planned for that day; there was everything unusual about it: 8 ceremonies in all, including two civil unions and a groom in a wheelchair (not that it mattered to him, his friends or his bride!). Luckily for everyone, the whole day had been planned out well in advance and everything had been checked and re-checked many times over. This was probably why the ceremonies were starting at 1pm and being performed right through the afternoon followed by a full reception for all 8 couples involved (each with their own dance song and everything). Having been in the Glee Club, all members of the couples were very musical and had all insisted on being given the chance to perform to those who would become their spouses on this very day.
For this reason, each person had been asked to choose a number they wanted to perform to their significant other at the combined reception, which was scheduled to begin at 5.30pm that day. The fast pace anticipated for the day was the reason that Finn and Kurt were already at the estate (the wedding venue) when a grand old clock struck 10am that morning.
"Bye Kurt" Finn said, his voice a little shaky as they reached the doors of the grand old house. The girls would be gathering (along with Kurt) on one floor of the house and the guys on the other (along with Santana who was marrying her best friend, Brittany, and in keeping with the traditions of not seeing each other before the wedding, Santana had said she would spend the pre-wedding time with the boys that morning – although there would be a period which she would getting ready with Kurt, she was first on his list before she was shut away with all the testosterone to wait until the ceremonies). "Bye Finn" Kurt replied, his voice filled with the brisk mask of anticipation which easily covered the nervousness that Finn had gotten used to picking up. The pair exchanged good lucks and departed for their destinations, Finn for the third floor and Kurt for the first. This was it.
