Chapter 11: Age 21
Breathe.
Rachel, breathe.
She was absolutely freaking out.
She loved Finn, obviously, but she didn't know if she was quite ready to walk down the aisle. Though she had a whole year to prepare herself for it.
"Hey, honey." Rachel heard the voice her mother, she saw her standing at the door through her mirror.
She was Rachel's made of honor, Rachel had decided it would be nice.
"Hi, Shelby." Rachel greeted her, bluntly.
"Can you call me mum?" Shelby asked, giving her a smile.
"Okay, Mum?" Rachel's voice was shaky, when she turned around she had tears coming from her eyes.
Taking care of Beth had really brought up Shelbys mothering instincts, she walked over to Rachrl and wrapped her arms around her, "What is it, Baby?"
"I'm just.." Rachel sobbed, "I'm so scared."
"You love Finn, right?" Rachel nodded into her chest, "Are you going to love someone else the way you love him?"
"No." Rachel shook her head, she had several flings with Noah, but she never loved him the way she loved Finn.
Shelby laughed, much to Rachel's confusion, "Then why are you crying."
"Everyone cries at weddings," Rachel sniffled. "What if...what if I trip? What if he doesn't think I look pretty?"
Shelby looked Rachel up and down. Her wedding dress was georgeous, a white lace pattern at the top, around about her waist, a white sash was wrapped around, below that her dress flared out, sparkly and elegant.
Her hair was up in a bun, lose curls hung down. The look was finished with a veil, "You look amazing, Baby."
"Lookin' good, Berry." Puck's obnoxious voice came from behind her, "Or should I say, Hudson."
Rachel's whole face lit up at the sound of that. "Thank you, Noah."
Puck had shared a room with Sam and Finn in college, so he was still quite close with them.
After Finns graduation he told Rachel he wanted to move to New York for her, she wanted him to stay with his family.
As a compromise, they were living in New York until Rachel graduated college, then returning to Lima.
They had decided to get married here though, and the entire glee club had showed up.
"I gotta get going." Shelby announced, giving Rachel a kiss on the head and leaving quickly.
There was a lot of tension there after what happened with her and Puck.
"I still can't believe Quinn showed up..." Rachel mumbled.
Puck laughed, grabbing her elbow. Rachel's dad's had died I a car crash just over a year ago, it had been decided Puck would walk her down the aisle, he was the closest Jewish male to her apart from her dads and she wanted him to do it,"She's only here cause Sam dragged her here."
"Oh that's right, they got married, didn't they..." Rachel remembered. (Your welcome, Amelia).
Puck nodded, "Yeah, but I don't think he ever really got over Mercedes."
"I called her the other day, did you know she married Shane?" Rachel shook her head disapprovingly, "I always liked Samcedes better then Quam or Shanecedes."
Puck scoffed, "I swear you stay up at night just to make us all nick names."
Rachel laughed, "Don't worry, I didn't start 'Puckleberry'"
"That name was pretty epic."
"I still like Finchel better." Rachel mumbled under her breath.
Just then Mr Shuester walked through the door, his eyes popped open wide, before prickling with tears, "Rachel!"
"Mr Shue!" Rachel exclaimed, walking away from Puck and wrapping her arms around him.
"Hey Mr S." Puck greeted him with a limp wave.
Will laughed looking Rachel up and down, "Wow, Rach. I mean you were pretty before but your just, amazing!"
Rachel's cheeks turned a deep red, "Than..."
Puck cut her off, "We gotta go!"
Rachel's breath caught in her throat, "Oh god!"
"Calm down, Rach. You can do this." Puck grabbed her arms, wrapping his arm around it.
"Well I better go!" Mr Shuester exited the room quickly.
It all went extremely fast from there.
Before she knew it, Rachel was walking down the aisle, wanting to break out into a full on sprint.
Finn was gorgeous as ever, his 'rachel grin' plastered on his face as he took in her outfit.
He really didn't know why he had been freaking out, neither did she.
"We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Mr Finn Hudson and Miss Rachel Berry. I am aware that they have each wrote their own vows."
Finn turned to face the crowd taking a deep breath. He felt Rachel's hand squeeze his. "Rachel has been my best friend forever. I always thought of her as family, someone who would be there for me forever.
But, and I know my mum will kill for this, when we were ten, a couple of us kids played kiss-chasey...and I happened to find Rach."
There was a chorus of 'aws' from the crowd, "Ever since then I really liked her, and as I got older I realized I loved her. Rachel never tried to change me, she loved me for who I was, and she saw the real me.
I was stuck in a relationship I didn't even want to be apart of for 4 years. I realized, it was Rach I wanted to be with. So I stood outside her window and asked her to prom."
The whole group laughed.
"I will never, ever love another. You are my everything, Rach and I love you more then my own life. I love you Ray-ray and I can't wait to spend my life with you."
Rachel stared into the eyes of the man she loved, oblivious to everything else.
"Ahem!" Kurt scoffed from the side.
"Oh is it my turn?" Rachel asked in surprise, "Uh, As Finn said, it was friendship from the start. But I think he was completely oblivious to the fact that I was utterly in love with him my whole life. When we kissed, it just made me more crazy with love.
I loved that Finn always made me feel awesome about myself, he reminded me that I was Rachel Berry and I could do anything. He always told me I would be famous one day.
When he told me he had a girlfriend, I was devastated, I thought there was no chance of finchel.
Once, I was visiting Kurt and I went to use the bathroom. As i passed, I heard a beautiful voice signing 'I can't fight this feeling'. His voice was magical, and it made me realize just how much I loved him.
I will always love you, Finn Hudson. Not even in death will we part.
I love you Finny and I can't wait to spend my life with you."
Rachel and Finn stared into each others eyes, frozen. It didn't look like they were moving any time soon.
The priest cleared his throat, "Do you, Finn Hudson, take the, Rachel Berry, for better or for worse, for richer or for poor, in sickness and in health, till death to us part?"
Finn inhaled and held Rachel's hand in his. "I do."
The priest turned to Rachel, "And do you, Rachel Berry, take the, Finn Hudso..."
Rachel cut him off, eager to get to the kiss, "I do!"
With a laugh, the priest exclaimed, "By the power vested in me by the state of Ohio, I now pronounce you and man and wife, you may kiss the bride!"
And with that, Rachel Berry was, finally, Rachel Hudson.
FINCHEL PROPOSAL! EPIC 3
