Finn stood at the altar of the church. Beside him was Kurt, dressed in white. On his other side was Mercedes, Tina, Santana and Brittany, Rachel's bridesmaids. As Rachel walked down the aisle, she couldn't help but notice Quinn's absence, even though she was the one who didn't invite her. She wished she could have told her the real reason…
Music started to play and Finn watched as Rachel and her dads made their way down the aisle. He had never seen Rachel look more beautiful than she did at that moment. He winked at her and she smiled back. The ceremony began and they recited their own vows. They were about to exchange rings.
"Finn Hudson, do you take Rachel Berry to be your wife?" The celebrant handed Finn a ring, one he had picked out himself, and he placed it on Rachel's finger.
"I do", he said softly.
"Rachel Berry, do you take Finn Hudson to be your husband?" He handed her a simple gold ring. She stared at it then looked at Finn. He smiled at her and nodded his head. Rachel's eyes filled with tears and she looked to the ground.
"I can't", she said. "I'm so sorry Finn. I love you but Quinn was right, I'm not ready for this. I can't be with you. I- I love Quinn", she blurted. "I love her SO much and I never really realized how much until right now when I wish it was her standing opposite me instead of you. I know it sounds stupid but it's what I feel and even I can't explain it. I- I've loved her for a while now but- but I always thought it was just a- a phase, you know? I knew it was real but I pushed it away because it felt wrong. But now I've realized that standing here with you… That's what feels wrong."
