CH 12 BEAUTIFUL DAY
It was the last day of school at Mikinley High and one week before the wedding. Naturally everyone was excited.
No one was more excited than Noah Puckerman. Thanks to his awesome girlfriend Rachel, his mom and a steel determination to make something of his life, Puck managed a C+ Average with A+ in Gym, automechanics and Spanish. No one but a select few knew how good he was in Spanish and it was a major turn on for Rachel.
Puck couldn't be more thankful for the good people in his life and had figured out what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to be a New York Police Officer. He wanted to be an upstanding member of society after all the crap he did before Glee Club changed him. He wanted to contribute to society and be a role model for younger generations. But before he enrolled into the force, he was going to the New York Justice Institute, taking criminal justice courses with a minor in social work. He figured it would be an added bonus to have some social work under his belt.
His mom couldn't be prouder of her son than she already was. Her baby boy had turned his life around and had become a good man. His little sister Sara was also proud of her big brother but he would always be the protective brother that she could always count on to help her when she needed it.
Rachel also naturally brought in good grades, A+ straight down the board, accepted into NYADA with her good friend Kurt, and steady with her boyfriend Noah Puckerman. She never saw this kind of life before this. She had always thought of a bright broadway career, married to Finn Hudson, and a couple of kids. But life has a funny way throwing things into it and now she couldn't imagine a life without Puck in it. He made her a better person, changed some things in her life and mellowed her out a lot. She was no longer a pushy, ignorant girl but a still determined, less pushy and more caring individual. She was still uneasy about Puck's 'areer choice but she still supported him in everything he did and made equal decisions togather. She could not wait- well she could wait patiently till she became Mrs. Noah Puckerman.
Kurt was giggling with his soul mate Blaine Anderson and talking about their life after greaduation. Kurt was shocked when he discovered that Blaine was gonna have to repeat his senior year after missing many months due to the Sadie Hawkins Dance but kurt was determined to change that. Working with Blaine, he had got Blaine all caught up and was going to graduate with the rest of the senior class. They both got into NYADA with Rachel and the quartlet of Puckleberry and themselves, were gonna get a two bedroom apartment in a quiet safe neighbourhood of Brooklyn and a twenty minute commute to NYADA and a twenty five minute commute to the NY Justice Institute. Kurt and Blaine had got enaged the previous evening after a musical and Disney marathon , dinner and a dessert. Blaine had snuck an engagement ring into Kurt's slice of cheesecake. Kurt was shocked, delighted and also glad that he didn't swallow the ring. Afterwards was a passion filled night with many heartfelt promises and I Love You's.
As for Artie and Brittney, Artie was going to finish one more year of high school and Britney was going to stay in Lima and help coach the Cheerios alongside Sue Sylvester. It would look great on her application to NYU. She was going to be a kindergarden teacher with a side career of dance instructor. She loved to dance but she loved children more. She wanted to share with them her love of the world and belief in the good the world has to offer. Artie's dream was going to New York's film academy and involved in film making.
Finn was going to Lima Community College and figure out what he wanted in life. He was going to take a variety of cources that would help him figure things out. He was still going to experience college life , living in the dorms but close to be near his mom and step father. Every 2 weekends, he would help out at Burt's garage for extra money and bonding time with his step dad. He was still single but felt that he would meet someone one day. He knew that he would never get back Quinn and was gonna happily settle in being her friend.
Mike was also one of the bunch that was also going to NYADA, he was going to expand and better his dancing skills, and also taking a semester or two in business. He wanted to open his own dance studio and assit others in their dreams of dancing. But he and Tina were going to go through with a long distance relationship. Both were commited in each other and have weekly skype session every weekend. Tina wasn't sad about going one more year of high school, she was still going to have Artie, Sugar Motta, and the new additions to glee club next year.
As fir Quinn, she was going over the final arrangements in the wedding preparations. She and Jessie had decised on a wedding on a cruise in the carribian. They had finalized the menu with the ship's kitchen. On the menu was crab cakes as an appitizer, finger foods at a buffet, potato and leek soup, and a choice of baked chicken with mashed potatoes, carrots and gravy or bbq salmon, asparagus and rice. They had decided on a decidant white four layer cake with black embellishments. It would be a buttercream cake with strawberries in between the sweet vanilla icing.
Jessie and Quinn would spend a year travelling before settling in New York with the rest of the glee gang. Jessie would go to NYADA, to take classes in acting both on stage and off stage. Quinn was going to NYU in business administration and minoring in acting. Both had made time in their schedules for Beth. Neither liked the idea of not having enough time so spend with that adorable little girl. Beth was going into a prestigious daycare that catered to the upper circles. They wanted the best for Beth and wouldn't settle for anything less.
Graduation day had arrived and after all the graduates got their diploma's, the graduation theme started playing: Beautiful Day by U2.
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for graceIt's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get awayYou're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over youIt's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get awayTouch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless caseSee the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
A beautiful day
Don't let it get awayTouch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know IÃ m not a hopeless caseWhat you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
Beautiful day.
On a beautiful day on June 25th, Quinn was escorted down the aisle with Mr. Shue. She decided he was the man that had helped her and the rest of the glee club and was a great father figure to them all. Mr. Shue was naturally humbled and glad to do it for Quinn.
As she walked past, all the guests clapped and were at awe of the beautiful bride. They were also awe'd by little Beth as the flower girl who threw rose petals on the ground, laughing and twirling as she did so.
Finally Quinn and Mr. Shue reached the alter, Quinn giving a kiss on Mr. Shue's cheek and reached for Jessie's already stretched hand. Togather they turned to the minister to begin the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved, we gather here to celebrate the nuptuals of this young couple Jessie and Quinn"
Skipping to the vows that Jessie and Quinn made cause I don't want to write all the in betweens of a wedding ceremony…..
"Now Jessie and Quinn have elected to write their own vows, so Jessie if you can start…" The kind old minister said with a smile.
"Quinn," Jessie said with emotion "You are the one girl I can't do without. We're both similar in many aspects and you have brought much love and change in my life. I wouldn't change any of that, not even for a minute. I have to thank the glee clubs of Mikinley and Westerville. They have brought us togather and brought much happiness to those particularly the two of us. Before you, I was a selfish, uncaring, self-absorbed and determined individual, only caring for my music and talent. Then I met you, a similar lost soul as myself. We both learned so much and changed for the better in the New Directions. I have a wonderful step-daughter who I'm mad for. I have a better understanding of life, and a better place in it especially thanks to you and I would like to read out a poem that could give out the words that I couldn't express without the words of this poem. Its Called "I promise to love you' by Danny Blackburn. I found it while surfing the web and made some midifications to it"
You could hear the sniffs of the women and the men discreetly wiping at their eyes while maintaining their manly personas.
"I love your touch, the smile on your face and the sound of your voice so sweet
I love as the day ends, to lie in each other's arms, to kiss you and to feel your heart beatI love to feel you in my arms as you sleep so peaceful and sweet
The warmth of your body, the smell of your perfume and to feel your heart beatTo see you in the night, in the light of the moon for you are so beautiful
Your love, your warmth, your laughter, your touch fills my heart so fullMy one desire is to love you so much that you never have doubt
The love that I feel for you is so overpowering that at times I want to shoutI want to shout out that I love you and I adore you
I want the world to hear me praise and love for youI wish that I could lift you to the stars above
I know that you were sent by God to me with loveI adore you not only for only your beauty but for what you have shared with me, your love
You are a beautiful person whose inner beauty is like that of an angle from aboveI praise you as my wife, a wife more perfect than any other
I praise you for you kindness & love that you share with our children as their motherI look at you and see a special person, one of a kind
God has blessed us all and me especially with a wife so fineTogether we have stood for each other
I can only love you and never anotherPlease know that I love you for all that you are and all that you give
I promise to love you, hold you, adore you and praise you for as long as I liveI love you"
Now it was quinn's turn to say her vows. "Jessie I also have a poem to express what my feeling for you are and help make me into the young woman before you"
Quinn cleared her throat and began, trying to keep tears from ruining her make up.
"I never knew that I would love someone the way I love you.
You have opened the door to a new and exciting life which I
had never imagined could be…My days are not empty with you by my side and my nights
are not as dark with you in my life.You bring me flowers and leave me love notes.
You make me laugh with your funny jokes.You hold me close in your arms when things seem tough
You lend me you shoulders with my heavy loadsYou whisper I you love me when you think I'm a sleep.The miles may take us far apart, but we leave each other the love
In our hearts. Never a night is missed to say I love you
the minutes turn to hour and then into days, I am so thankful
You my love came my way..you're so special more than you know and more than I show.
you're my soul mate, you're my lover, you're all that I know.it's your smile and it's your eyes it's your heart and it's your cries.
I'll love you forever even long after we die.you're my friend and you're my life.
you're my light and you're my wife.you're my shoulder and my strength.
I would die for you and go to any length.you're the person I need and the one who is there.
I have you right now and it doesn't seem fair.cause right now isn't enough and forever is too soon.
without you I would die and not know what to do.you're more than a friend and more than a wife too.
you're my forever and forever isn't long enough for me and you.there's a place in heaven waiting just for you.
I pray there is room right there beside you for me too.you're a beautiful soul and I could forget you never.
I just pray that we are always together now and forever."
For what seemed like forever for the young couple, the words they were waiting for had finally arrived.
"I now pronounce you as man and wife-" Jessie didn't want to wait anymore ans he swooped Quinn into his arms, dipped her and kissed her with all that he had.
The wedding guests all laughed, cheered and in the women's cases, all cried without restraint.
Jessue and Quinn both smiled at each other and little Beth ranup to Jessie and laughed as he swireled her into the air. With Beth in his armds, the duo walked down the aisle with huge smiles on their faces.
The wedding dinner went cheerfully as the time went and now it was time for the newlyweds for their first dance. They both loved the movie "The Mask of Zorry and felt a particular song was their song.
Moon so bright, night so fine Race the moon, catch the wind I want to spend my lifetime loving you Heroes rise, heroes fall Through our joy, through our pain I want to spend my lifetime loving you Though we know we will never come again Save the night, save the day
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream we are dreaming
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day, stand up for the light
If that is all in life I ever do
Rise again, win it all
In your heart, can't you feel the glory?
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
Where there is love, life begins
Over and over again
Save the love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
Loving you…

THE END
Author's note: Well that's the end! Thanks to those who reviewed or favorite my story! For the longest time, my laptop couldn't connect to the internet and I now have a desktop that connects to the internet. I would like to take this opportunity to have a moment of silence for the late cory monteith. He was a young man who had a greater future for him in my opinion. Addiction is tough for anyone and so hard to kick. I hope that he no longer suffers from his addiction and protecting and guiding his loved ones from above. I took a few poems from an internet site and here's the authors of the poems that Quinn read: Forever by Jim Contarino and I Never Knew I Would Love you Like I Do by Kathryn Russell.
