Kurt was starting to get a little frustrated. Everybody wanted something from him. He was doing Tina and Mike's wedding this time and Tina didn't seem to be able to make up her mind with what she wanted. He had to cancel the flower arrangements 3 times, book from different venues more than 10 times, call every family member twice to make sure they were coming to the wedding and writing down who was coming with whom. Kurt had to design and make Tina's wedding dress 4 times already and already Tina didn't seem happy with the amount of jewels on the front.
"Tina, you told me you only wanted a small amount, you said you didn't want a dress too over the top, there's still enough sparkle at the front to make it look fancy, this one is elegant, you look lovely and it almost looks like you got no waist at all, and do you know how hard it was to find shoes to match that dress? I had to take a small trip to New York and have Rachel show me the best shops! Please tell me we are NOT changing the dress,"
"Oh no I'm thrilled with the dress, it's just…I don't want you to think you're not doing a good job, you are Kurt you are,"
Waiting for the but…
She turned in front of the mirror again as Kurt's hand went to his head. A headache was forming, no scratch that. More like a migraine.
"But…is it really hard to just add some jewels down the sides? I'll give you more money for the extra days, Quinn showed me this beautiful brides magazine and …"
"Fine, FINE…but after this, no more changes okay? I'll compromise this time, I already have a lot more to do with the wedding,"
Like the catering, the photographer, the band, the store were people were going to buy gifts from, the invitations…
Kurt sighed "Is that all for the dress Tina?" He only asked her to come for an hour, and it had been 3 and a half hours of her being in his apartment.
Tina clapped her hands and with the dress STILL IN HER HANDS she hugged Kurt.
"WATCH THE DRESS…that material is fragile, it's only meant for this one occasion," Tina blushed and nodded "Thank you so much for doing all this Kurt, and you know that guy you worked with before what's his name? Brandon?"
"Blaine?"
"Yeah Blaine, why don't you ask him to do the photography, he was good right?" Kurt nodded. That actually wasn't a bad idea. For once Tina was actually helpful. He loved the girl, but she was stressful to work with.
"I'll do that while I look for those jewels for the dress, you're free to go,"
With the dress safely hooked back on a hanger he allowed her to hug him one more time and kiss his cheek before she went to pick up Mike from work.
Free of chatter and complaint Kurt sighed in relief as he took a Panadol and looked over his design one more time for the dress trying to work out where to put the next lot of jewels. Maybe just a few silver circles in a row. While he looked at the sketch in front of him he picked up his pager and messaged Blaine.
You free for another job? – Kurt
You in charge of the wedding? – Blaine
Yes – Kurt
Then yes I am – Blaine
Thank you, I'll send you more details on Facebook soon – Kurt
Awesome, thanks Kurt – Blaine
He spent the next few days focusing on calling the florist and the band he had in mind to contact that it was dinner time Thursday night before he realised he forgot he asked Blaine to do the photography when Blaine sent him a message on Facebook.
Blaine Anderson: Did the wedding get cancelled or did you find another photographer?
Kurt Hummel: I'm so sorry! No the wedding hasn't been cancelled its next week, I'm sorry for the short notice, things have been pretty hectic I've only just been able to start to relax, you still available for the job or did you find something else?
Blaine Anderson: I'm still available, you alright?
Kurt Hummel: You're the first one to ask me that in 5 months. I appreciate that, I'm fine thank you, just so busy it's crazy being a wedding planner.
Blaine Anderson: Ah but that's why you're the best
Kurt Hummel: You don't need to suck up to me Blaine, the job is yours and you'll get decent pay ;)
Blaine Anderson: I mean it Kurt, you're the best
Kurt honestly didn't know how to reply to that. He got praise for his job constantly, but Blaine was a stranger almost, it meant a bit more to hear that.
Kurt Hummel: It's at 44 Robertson Drive St Mary's Church 2:30pm Sunday for the wedding vows, do you need a map?
Blaine Anderson: I got a GPS I'll be there, what about the party?
Kurt Hummel: I'll give you a lift there after the wedding, you can just leave your car at the church parking lot and I'll drop you of there later in the evening.
Blaine Anderson: Sounds good, I look forward to working with you again Kurt.
Kurt Hummel: Me too, do me a favour?
Blaine Anderson: Sure
Kurt Hummel: Bring some Panadol?
Virtual Hug Gif was sent.
Blaine Anderson: LOL can do.
Received Kisses from Blaine Anderson
Kurt Hummel: Really? Disney?
Blaine Anderson: Everybody loves Disney
Kurt Hummel: Mhm, see you next Sunday kiddo
Blaine Anderson: BYE DAD
Kurt Hummel: Watch it, I'm not THAT old!
Blaine Anderson: BYE BIG BROTHER 3
Kurt Hummel: Better
Kurt laughed for the first time this month. Kurt was just going to relax when he remembered he had to do his own suit for the wedding. He sighed. He normally loved designing his own clothes but he wished for once he didn't have to do anything.
It was 7pm before Kurt finished sketching the design when his dad rang. "Hey kiddo,"
"Hey dad how's it going?"
"Good! Just confirming that me and Carole we'll be coming to the wedding,"
"Oh that's great dad! I'll send you both an invite soon. Tina invited you too?" Kurt went to his barely empty kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee.
"Yeah, me and Carole always go to your glee club kids weddings you know that, she asked me at Brittany and Santana's wedding if we'd come, and then Mike got in contact with Carole"
"Yeah I know dad sorry I'm just out of the loop a little bit,"
"You doing okay?"
Second person to ask him that today. Did he sound tired?
"Fine dad, just a little stressed dad but I'll be fine,"
"Kurt, will you come to dinner on Friday?"
"I don't know dad I have a lot to do… I want to I just.."
"Sunday then? After the wedding? Come on kid you need a break, you've been at this wedding for months, let me and Carole spoil you please? We miss you kid,"
"I miss you guys too, alright I'll come stay Sunday …but dad can I bring a friend?"
"A boy?"
"Yes dad a boy,"
"What kind of friend?" Kurt rolled his eyes as he sat down stirring a teaspoon of sugar in his coffee and taking a biscuit from the jar on the table.
"Not a boyfriend dad, he's just a friend,"
"Is he staying over?" He opened his laptop and looked into his Facebook. Facebook was a nice break from reality sometimes. Or maybe not. He saw that he was tagged several times by Tina and rolled his eyes. Mike was going to see the dress before he even got to the church if she kept this up. He liked her posts just so she wouldn't feel rejected and noticed Blaine made a comment. He couldn't help but look at it.
Blaine Anderson commented on Tina Cohen Chang's post
Blaine Anderson: Beautiful Dress Tina, I love the design
Kurt smiled and raised an eyebrow as Tina befriended Blaine on Facebook right after that comment.
Tina Cohen Chang and Blaine Anderson are now friends
"I don't know, but he's nice, he's the photographer, you might have seen him at Brittany and Santana's wedding,"
Tina Cohen Chang: Thank you Blaine! I was going to add some minor adjustment, and thank you for coming to do the photos
YOU MEAN I WAS GOING TO ADJUST…Kurt sighed. It was Tina's day, it wasn't about Kurt Hummel he just ignored the inner rejection, but she did thank Blaine.
Blaine Anderson: You're welcomed, I look forward to it. I love working for Kurt too, your dress is beautiful as it is. I wouldn't do anything to it. It's simple but elegant.
Kurt smiled. THANK YOU.
He heard a ding from his pocket and took out his phone.
I changed my mind about the dress, I decided it's perfect – Tina Cohen Chang
Kurt laughed in relief. He sent a message to Blaine.
To Blaine Anderson:
I owe you coffee – Kurt
From Blaine Anderson:
Why?
To Blaine Anderson:
Just to say thank you.
