"If you love someone, don't put their name in a heart. Put it in a circle because a heart can be broken, but a circle goes on forever."

When you become engaged or married, you exchange a set of rings. One for him and usually two for yourself, a wedding and engagement ring. For years, I wondered what the purpose of engagement and wedding rings were. I never knew why they existed, other than a tradition that started many generations back and continued on down through generations. Were they just some arbitrary trinket that you wore on your left hand to prove that you were married to someone? Or was there some other deeper meaning that I was missing entirely? As it turns out, there was a deeper meaning that I missed. This quote helped me to understand something that I never would have otherwise. Wedding rings, as well as engagement rings, are circles. There is no end and no true beginning to them. They just keep going on and on. I didn't understand the concept of wedding rings, but now I definitely do.

Within a few days of Will's proposal, it was all over the school. Everyone knew by the end of the week that we were engaged, including Sue. Most everyone was supportive of our engagement, congratulating us and saying it was about time. Shannon Beiste was especially excited about it, saying that both of us were people that deserved to be happy. Before Will proposed, he'd gone to Figgins about it to be sure that nothing could interfere with our engagement and marriage...particularly named Sue Sylvester. After one failed engagement for me and a failed marriage for both of us, the last thing we wanted was for someone to step in where they didn't belong and ruin things for both of us. I wanted my wedding to Will to be the best day of our lives because we'd both come through so much to be together.

Telling my parents I was engaged to Will was probably the most nerve wrecking experience of my life. I had already gone through telling them I was married to Carl in a Vegas wedding, which didn't go over well. So when I called them to tell them I was engaged to Will, I was surprised to hear my mother squealing with delight on the other end and immediately start talking about wedding details. I didn't know this at the time, but Will had called my parents to ask for their blessing to marry me. He had an at-length discussion with my father about how he would never do the things Ken and Carl did to me and how he'd been in love with me all along. My father is not the sort of man to bend his will easily for many people, but for me, he did. There were nights I called my mother, crying because I was in love with Will and didn't know what to do. My mother had obviously told my father before Will called him that I was in love with him. And with my parents' blessing, the wedding madness began.

Since I had heard wonderful things about the wedding Kurt Hummel planned for his parents, I decided that I would ask him for his help planning mine and Will's. Kurt seemed more than happy to help me, making all kinds of suggestions. It was fun and a little hectic to plan though, given our date was so soon. Will and I planned for a June wedding, giving us just over a month to plan it. I knew I was crazy to think I could plan a wedding in a month, but I wanted to have it over and done with before something went wrong again. The last thing I wanted was for someone to come along and decide to mess things up for me and Will again. Everything about our life was good now and I didn't want to lose that. But, unlike my wedding to Ken and Carl, I didn't want to keep it a secret or hide it from the world. I wanted everyone to know that I was marrying Will and that he was mine.

Things went smoothly in the planning. Kurt helped me pick a new wedding dress that was incredibly gorgeous and very me. In all the planning, I knew that the one thing that mattered was that I married Will. Kurt was an amazing planner, helping me with all the details from the food to the music for the reception. I chose white roses as my flower, mostly because it's what Will used when he proposed to me. I coupled those with baby's breath for my own bouquet as well as the bridesmaids, which were Tina, Quinn, Rachel, Mercedes, and Santana. Will chose Finn, Puck, Artie, Sam, and Kurt as his groomsmen. The rest of the Glee kids were involved as well as ushers and other parts.

Everything was going perfectly until we hit a huge speed bump about a week before the wedding was supposed to take place. I was preparing to move my things in at Will's apartment when I came across something I didn't expect to find...lingerie. It was underneath his bed as I was cleaning out some of the boxes he kept under there. When I confronted him with it, he sighed deeply and knew where it came from. I was appalled that he would already cheat on me when we weren't even married. However, his explanation proved me wrong. He said that when he'd gotten the flu earlier in the year, while we were not together, his ex-wife had come over to take care of him and they had ended up sleeping together. While I was relieved that he hadn't cheated on me, I was a little irritated that he had slept with Terri again...after all she'd done to him. Our conversation turned into a huge fight that ended with me walking out of his apartment to go home to my condo. I was so angry that he had hidden that from me, not telling me that he and Terri had slept together. I was jealous...plain and simple.

That night I slept horribly, feeling guilty for yelling at Will. I tossed and turned all night, feeling like there was something I was missing. When I gave up on sleep around four in the morning, I decided to work on my vows for the wedding. I wasn't going to call off the whole thing just because of a spat Will and I were having. There was a big part of me that wanted to call him, but I knew that he was probably asleep. So I kept writing my vows, which actually turned into a long list of thing I loved about Will. I kept that list to remind myself when we fight of how much I actually love him. Even now, nearly four years after that night, I look at that list and know I was right with every one. The list reads...

1. I love the way he makes me smile.
2. I love the smile he gets when he's really happy about something.
3. I love his voice when he sings.
4. I love the way he puts the Glee kids first.
5. I love how selfless he is.
6. I love the way he sees past my OCD and mysophobia to who I am.
7. I love how he makes me feel.
8. I love that he is patient with me.
9. I love when he dances.
10. I love that he is completely in love with me, no matter who or what I am.

The next morning, Will and I made up. He hadn't slept much the previous night either, so we were both glad when we could clear the air from our fight. He apologized for not telling me sooner about Terri and I apologized for being so judgmental, especially considering we were not together at the time and I was dating someone else. From there, we went on getting ready for our wedding. It was a week away, but we had no idea how stressful a wedding really could get until that week from hell.
