10. First time…Getting Married
Being a college student, with a college student fiancée and a baby girl wasn't the easiest thing. Hell it was the hardest thing ever! Why did I ever agree to this? Oh right, because I love them more than anything.
Drizzle was now 6 years old. Times flies, whether you're having fun or not. But I did have fun. Having Noah there all the time helped me a lot. Drizzle was the most caring girl ever, she behaved very well (well most of the times anyway). So she was going to kindergarden when Noah and I were in classes and Noah worked afternoons and I took care of her, while doing my homework. Poor Noah, he had to sleep late so he could finish his work, who would have thought he would change so much after Danielle was born. He was a responsible man, he cared for us and took care of us, and I couldn't love him more.
I was also blessed with great friends, people I met in college where good to us, they would take care of Drizzle and give Noah and I some alone time. Also every time we went back to Lima on vacation, someone offered to take care of Danielle. She had the coolest aunts and uncles.
Rachel was making it big in NY; she had an audition and got the lead role. We were invited to her show and to say the least she was amazing. Kurt and Mercedes started their own clothing line, as Kurt called it, it was fabulous. And also I got free clothing and got all my college friends jealous and send over some clients to them. Mercedes started a small line for baby clothing, of course, it was called "Drizzle" since it was named after Danielle, and as our baby grew, so did the line.
Brittany had a big break and is now touring with Beyoncé (pretty awesome right?) and Mike did all of the ads for iPod and started a project called LXD, we got to see them one night they were performing near OSU. Mike was amazing, and he got time to say hi to us and Drizzle was static.
Tina and Artie got married like two years before (a beautiful ceremony, the three of us attended), Tina is a teacher in WMHS and Artie is working in Glee Club with Mr. Shue and owns a coffee shop. They did very good. Matt finished culinary school and now opened his own restaurant, and it is very good, clientele loved it.
So after 4 and a half years we were finally graduating. Noah majored in business admin. and I in psychology. We were not having a party or anything. We let the Glee Club know, and Mr. Shue and [the now] Mrs. Shuester attended, along with Tina, Artie, Ms. Puckerman and Abby, Finn and Matt made it too. Rachel sent flowers and apologies because she couldn't be here. Kurt and Mercedes promised to see us in a month and sent us some outfits they demanded we used on graduation day. I was so grateful we had such amazing friends.
Surprisingly my so-called parents sent their love too. A car. It was a van actually, one of those family vans. I really didn't know what to do with it. Noah said we should sell it and buy a different car. I couldn't agree more, although I really didn't want anything that related us to them. But honestly, we did need it. So we used the money for something they wouldn't approve.
After graduation we went back to Lima. Back to Mrs. Puckerman's place. We were going to move to Cinci soon. But there was something we had to do first.
You are cordially invited to celebrate
the wedding of
Quinn Fabray
And
Noah Puckerman
On Tuesday afternoon
July 6th
at four o´clock
Thirty-five East Olivet Avenue
followed by a reception
R.S.V.P
I had to convince Noah to write reception instead of kick-ass party, as he wanted. Since I wasn't Jewish (something Mrs. Puckerman wasn't too happy about) we were just having a "symbolical" wedding. We were going to share vows and be officially married, by the state, just not religiously, at least not yet.
The day of the wedding finally arrived.
Noah and I spent the day separated. I spent the night at the hotel where the ceremony was going to be held. Mercedes and Brittany stayed with me, which was actually a big help, 'cause I was feeling very nauseated, like my first weeks of my pregnancy, not that I was having doubts, but I was extremely nervous. Danielle stayed home with and Noah.
Mercedes and Kurt designed the most beautiful wedding dress ever. And also the bride's maids ones (of course Kurt was my bride man). My dress was perfect. White, long, strapless; very simple actually, but there was something about it that made it super special. My bride's maids dresses were knee high (Kurt's choice) in a cream color with a green lace. Drizzle had her attire made especially for her, it was pink (that being her current favorite color) with a darker shade of pink lace. Everyone looked gorgeous; Mercedes was my Maid of Honor. While we were getting ready we wore pants and hoodies that said: "Bride" "Bride Maid" and Mrs. Puckerman's said: "Mommy", I wasn't into it but Kurt said we should tribute Britney Spears, I decided to ask, so I went with it.
3 hours after we started to get ready I received a message
I love you so much, can't wait to see you there. Kisses.
A simple message like that made my stomach flip so much. My smile got wider everytime I knew the time was getting closer.
Kurt had left the room to go check on the wedding stuff (as a perfectionist and hopeless romantic he decided wedding planners in Lima were absolutely useless, so the perfect person for the job was, yeah you guessed, himself) and came back letting us know I was supposed to walk down the aisle in 10 minutes. Noah was already there with his grooms and best man.
I stood there at the door that led to the small garden where the ceremony was going to be. According to Kurt I had to wait for the music to start.
So I started to walk, everyone is standing up looking at me, but out of everyone there, I could only see Noah, with our little Drizzle standing in front of him, looking at me. I know I'm smiling, like a lot, I can feel a tear forming in my eye, but I had to hold them back, Kurt would kill me if I mess my makeup.
As I look at Noah, he is smiling at me, I can tell he is breathless as so am I. As I reached him, he stepped forward and held my hand, never breaking eye contact. He mouthed I love you, and I could feel my cheeks blushing, like the first time.
The person that was marrying us started saying stuff, and then it was time for the vows. We had decided to go with traditional vows. Or so I thought we agreed.
I, Noah, choose you, Quinn, to be my wife. In front of our friends and family gathered here I promise to love and cherish you throughout the good times and the bad times. I promise to try to remember to put the toilet seat and to replace the toilet roll when it finished. I promise to remember this day with love and roses. I will love you always.
I laughed with the tear still forming in my eye. He could be such an ass. So I changed my vows a little too.
I, Quinn, choose you, Noah, to be my husband. In front of our friends and family, I promise to love and cherish you through every obstacle that may come into our path. I promise to learn how to change a tire and how to refill the screen wash when it runs out. I will comfort you when your team loses and drink beer with you when they win. I will love you always.
Everyone laughed, and so did we. Then Noah said:
Ok, now seriously. Many people spend their lives searching for their soulmate, their one true love. Some people are lucky to find the person they can truly call the better half of themselves, while others spend the rest of their lives searching and never finding. I am happy to count myself among the lucky ones, because I certainly found you.
I love you, Quinn. I know that you are the only one for me, my one true love. I am happy and I am grateful that you came into my life, that where others have spent their entire lives looking for the one, I have found you. And now that I have found you, I shall never let you go. I promise you, Quinn, that I shall hold you and cherish you and give you my heart, that I shall support you and care for you. Faithfully, I shall always stand steadfast at your side with your hand in mine, regardless of what life would bring to us. I take you now as my wife/husband, and I shall remain so for the rest of my life. To infinity and beyond! (this last quite loudly, lifting his hand Buzz Lightyear style and everyone cry/laughed) I mean, till death do us part.
It was my turn.
I, Quinn take you, Noah, to be my lawfully wedded husband, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live. I love you.
Mine was short, I could feel my voice cracking up, and I knew it would happen. Noah knew how I felt, and my small speech was enough for him.
The officiant named us "Husband and Wife"
I present to you, for the first time…finally…Mrs. And Mr. Noah Puckerman
Everyone clapped and we walked with our little girl, smiling and listening to people saying congratulations.
The reception was in a room of the hotel, I changed into a shorter version of my wedding dress, again courtesy of Kurt and Mercedes.
We were about to have our first dance. We didn't really practice anything, so I was happy with whatever Noah wanted to dance. Of course I wasn't expecting this.
He led me to the middle of the dance floor. He asked me if I was ready, and asked me to go along with it. I heard the begging of the tune, recognized it immediately. And then Noah started singing:
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
We started dancing and I continued to sing the parts of the woman, it was so cliché, we had danced that song numerous times in dance lessons at OSU, just for the fun of it, dancing the same as in the "Dirty Dancing" movie.
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby
He then left me in the middle of the room, and walked/danced in that very Patrick Swayze way, until then I saw he was approaching the former members of the Glee Club and Mr. Shue, and they all started dancing to the same choreography.
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
But I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you...
I was seriously not expecting this, any of this, obviously those dance lessons and everything was a plot. But I loved every minute of it. After everyone joined in, little Drizzle joined us, Noah carried her and the three of us danced together, our first official dance. The three of us.
FIN
A/N Well I hope you liked this story. The last part was a little too cliché but I couldn't help myself. The song is (I've had) The Time Of My Life, from the movie "Dirty Dancing". and let's face it, it would be super hot to see Puck dance like that. check the video on youtube if you haven't seen it! http:/www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=WpmILPAcRQo&feature=fvw
Ok I hope you liked it, I had fun writing it, and I'm so sorry it took this long for me to finish. Reviews are always welcome!
