This one supposed to be posted on 30th May, but real life got in the way and adding the overall laziness, together with Eid celebration, I had totally forgot about the 30th May deadline. So, I apologize for the delay.

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Sam was smiling as he looked at the calendar. One more weeks and Mercedes will officially be his wife. All the preparation had finally finished. They got everything ready and he couldn't wait to watch her walking down the aisle toward him. His thoughts were interrupted when Stevie and Mike burst into his office.

"Let's go!" Mike said. Sam frowned at him.

"Where?"

"You'll know when you get there" Stevie said. He and Mike pulled Sam and dragged him out of his office to Stevie's car. Mike put the blindfold around his head.

"Seriously, guys! Where are you taking me to?" Sam yelled, but Mike and Stevie just kept quiet. They ignored all of his questions and threats. After 15 minutes, the car came to a halt and stopped. Mike and Stevie brought Sam out of the car. The walked for awhile and finally stopped. Mike took off the blindfold and Sam was greeted with a loud 'congratulations!'. He could see his male cousins, friends and colleagues in front of him.

"My bachelor party?" Sam said. Stevie and Mike grinned at him.

"Did you really need to manhandle me and kidnapped me for this?" he asked again. Stevie and Mike shrugged their shoulders.

"It makes it more dramatic and fun!" Mike said as he went to join their friends at the bar. Sam rolled his eyes at his best friend. He looked around. They were at Stevie's house, he noticed. There were games set up in the living room. The music was pumping and the bar was set up at the corner. Stevie even hired a bartender to serve the drinks.

"So, what should we do? It's your last hurrah, bro!" Stevie said. Sam didn't answer him, but he went to the bar and got him a drink. Then, he went to one of the games set up in the living room. He gave Stevie a look and his brother grinned as Stevie joined him. They started to play and Sam shouted victory once he beat Stevie. They partied hard - like he used to do during his college years and by the time the sun rises, everyone was passed out around the house.

Unlike Stevie and Mike's plan, Quinn decided to have the quieter celebration for Mercedes. She combined her bridal shower and her bachelorette party as one big celebration. It started around noon to evening for the bridal shower. She had invited Mercedes' colleagues and her co-workers and whoever Mercedes got along with for the bridal shower. They had some light food and when all the guests went home in the evening, it was time for the bachelorette party. The bachelorette was reserved for Mercedes, Kurt, Tina, Quinn and Santana only - the bride's closest friends.

"Let's the party started!" Tina screamed as they bade goodbye to the last guest. Mercedes was confused.

"I thought we just finished?" she said.

"That's your bridal shower. Now, it's time for your bachelorette party!" Quinn informed her. Kurt hugged Mercedes.

"Our last sleepover!" he said excitedly. All of them went to change into their most comfortable clothes. They prepared some snacks, chips and popcorn while Santana worked on mixing the drinks for them. The night was spent watching their favourite movies, talking and reminiscing all of their memories before Tina started crying and Santana turned into the weepy drunk and gotten clingy. Mercedes shook her head as she looked at her friends who had passed out next to her. They're crazy, but she won't trade them for anything else in the world. She put the cover on each of them before she went into her room. She sat on her bed and looked around the room. There were obvious changes around her room and the apartment in general. Sam's clothes and his things filled the spaces without she realised it. In a year, her own life had changed drastically. Meeting Sam, being attracted to him, losing her father and falling in love with Sam. It was definitely an eventful year.

Days leading to the wedding, Mercedes decided to stay apart, much to Sam's dismay. He pleaded, but she wasn't changing her decision, saying that it would make their wedding night more meaningful. Sam finally relented and agreed with her. Sam woke up and immediately reached for his phone. A smile on his face once he heard his fiancee's voice.

"Hey, soon-to-be wifey!" he said. He smiled wider when he heard her giggle.

"Hey, hubby to be" Mercedes replied. "You just woke up?" she asked.

"Yeah. You start your day already?"

"Pretty much. Having my breakfast now. Then, we're having a facial and we'll start on my make up and hair after that"

"I miss you" Sam said.

"I miss you too, baby, but it's almost over now!"

"Hey, prince charming! Wake up! Busy day ahead!" Mike and Stevie yelled as they barged into Sam's room and popped the confetti. Sam stared at his younger brother and best friends in annoyance.

"Well, I better leave you to your groomsmen. I'll see you at the end of the aisle, baby" Mercedes said, chuckling. Sam sighed. He rolled his eyes at Mike and Stevie who were grinning at him like a fool.

"Okay, baby. I'll be waiting for you at the end of the aisle. I love you, darling"

"I love you too!"

Sam hang up the phone and groaned as he forced himself out of the bed - totally ignoring his best friend and his brother. After he was done with his morning routine and changed his clothes, he rejoined them in the bedroom.

"Okay! Now that the prince charming is ready, let's start our day!" Stevie said as he gave Sam his coffee.

Mercedes had just put on her dress when someone knocked on the door. Quinn went to open it while Tina helped Mercedes zipped up the dress. James and Malique walked into the room.

"Looking good, Merce!" Malique said. Mercedes smiled at them. She was a bundle of nerves at the moment. A moment later, the door was opened again and Dionne walked in.

"God, you look so beautiful sweetheart. I wish your daddy could see you now" she said. Her hand touched Mercedes' cheek adoringly.

"Mercedes, darling! You are gorgeous!" a loud voice said. Malique and James chuckled as they saw that it was their Aunt Maybelle, one of their father's little sisters. Maybelle walked straight to Mercedes. She took out a jewellery box from her handbag.

"This is your something blue. It was your grandmother and she told us to give it to you on your wedding day" Maybelle said as she opened the box to reveal a blue pearl jewelry set. She then helped put the necklace, earrings and the bracelet on.

"Thank you, Aunt Maybelle. It's beautiful" Mercedes said as she looked at the mirror. Maybelle kissed her cheek and excused herself. Someone knocked the door again and everyone turned to see Stevie at the door.

"Wow! You look amazing! His jaw would drop once he sees you" he said. Stevie was holding a rectangle box that looked like a small treasure chest.

"What's that?" James asked, pointing at the box.

"Oh, here is a gift from Sam" Stevie said as he handed the box to Mercedes. She took it and immediately opened it. There were few things inside it. She reached for a piece of paper that looked like a receipt and read the writing on it.

'Sam and Mercedes' first date'

A chorus of aww was heard as she read it. Then, there was a scrapbook. Mercedes opened it and it was full of their moments together. Tears dropped on her cheeks as she scanned through the scrapbook. She saw a customized note and took it out from the box.

The first time I laid my eyes on you, I was mesmerized by your beauty. As I get to know you, I was enchanted by your inner beauty. You stole my heart away since the first time you I saw you and it was always be yours. You've made me the happiest and the luckiest man on earth when you agreed to be my wife. Our fate was written in the star, baby. You're my other half, my missing puzzle piece that completes me and today, we are declaring our love to the world. You are mine and I am yours. I'll see you at the altar, Mrs Evans.

Love,

Your Mr Evans.

30th May 2019: 2.30 p.m.

"He really know how to touch my heart" Mercedes said, chuckling as she wiped her tears. "Quinn" she said. Quinn quickly took her gift for Sam and passed it to her. Mercedes took it and gave it to Stevie.

"Now, go! We need to repair her make up!" Santana said, pushing Stevie out of the room before she started to work on repairing Mercedes' make up.

As soon as Stevie returned from his duty, Sam immediately pulled him closer.

"Did she get it?"

Stevie rolled his eyes.

"Of course she got it. She looked at everything and read your sappy note which ended up making her cry" Stevie explained. Sam grinned. He looked at his little brother, eyes shining so bright.

"How does she look?" he asked excitedly. Stevie smiled.

"Stunningly beautiful" he answered. "Oh, she gave this to you" Stevie said, handing the square box to Sam. Sam excitedly took it and opened the box. Inside it was a wallet with his initials on it. Then, there was a watch. Sam took off the watch that he was wearing and took the one that his bride gave him. As he put it on, he saw the engraving at the back of watch.

30052019: 1430.

I am yours

A wide smile appeared on his face as he put on the watch. The door knocked and his parents walked in.

"Are you ready, son?" Dwight asked. Sam grinned.

"Of course, dad. I can't wait to meet my bride!" he said. Mary walked toward him and kissed his temple and cheek.

"Then, let's the wedding began!" she said.
