New chapter, I thought I would skip the whole "Substitute' episode, as I really didn't have any ideas for it.
The week after mash-up week, well it was strange to say the least, with Holly Holliday coming in and being their substitute teacher, and almost getting Mr Schuester fired.
It was two weeks after mash up week when things started getting back to normal. She and Sam were in rehearsal for sectionals, rehearsing choreography Mr Schue specifically wanted them to do in their duet.
It was later that day, in Glee Club, when Kurt announced his fathers, and Finn's mother impending nuptials, and announced the Glee Club would be the entertainment, with Mr Schuester providing the first dance song.
Rachel smiled, she was glad that Carole was getting another chance at love. Sam smiled at her as she and the club set about arranging 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars.
Finn pulled him aside whilst everyone was distracted, and announced his intention to sing another Bruno Mars song, 'Just the Way you are' at the reception after Burt and Carole's first dance, and asked him for help in pulling the Glee guys together to rehearse, but without Kurt.
He nodded, and hey rejoined the main group. Rachel smiling as they began working on the choreography of the number, and they were paired together.
The day of the wedding arrived, and the glee club pulled up to the chapel in their respective vehicles before heading inside to get ready, the girls with Carole as her bridesmaids, and the guys with Burt, Kurt and Finn.
Sam popped out of the room and caught a glimpse of Rachel as he passed a doorway, clad in the burnt orange bridesmaids dress picked by Kurt, she had her hair pinned up with flowers in it, and the cap sleeves of the dress hung nicely on her shoulders.
"You look beautiful" He said walking in the room, watching her jump.
"Thank you" She said, smiling at him in the mirror. He smiled back her, his hands around her waist. "You know it was really great what you did for Kurt" she said turning around and brushing her thumb lightly over his bruised eye.
"Your welcome" They hugged, "It was nothing" he shrugged, before he grabbed her hand and they left the room.
On the way to the chapel, they over heard Santana talking to Finn.
"You know you'd have a lot more street cred if you just fessed up to blondie and the midget that we did it last year" Santana said in her usual manner.
"I won't I can't do that to either of them" Finn said.
Sam turned to Rachel, gauging her reaction, to his surprise she was smiling.
"I worked it out months ago" She said. "I was the clever one in the relationship remember, not him"
He smirked, and grabbed her hand again, tugging her towards the chapel and the ceremony that awaited them.
Finn began, he and Quinn walking starting off the routine.
Finn and Quinn Sam and Rachel Artie and Brittany Tina and Mike Sam and New Directions Finn Artie ALL
Its a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it that look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby? I think I wanna marry you
Sam grabbed Rachel's hand as they entered the chapel singing, and midway through after being joined by Kurt and Mercedes, he lifted her before they exited the aisle circling back to the back of the chapel.
Well I know this little chapel
On the boulevard we can go
No one will know
Oh, come on, girl
Who cares if we're trashed
Got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shot of Patron
And its on, girl
Don't say no, no, no no-no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go-go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause its a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it that look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby? I think I wanna marry you
He and Rachel returned up the aisle and he danced with her, as she danced happily to the music, a look of pure glee in her eyes.
Oh, I'll go get a ring
Let the choir bells sing
Like ooooh
So what you wanna do?
Lets just run girl
If we wake up
And you wanna break up
That' cool
No I won't blame you
It was fun girl
The whole group joined them down the aisle as finally the bride and groom made their way into the chapel.
DON'T SAY NO, NO, NO, NO-NO
JUST SAY YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH-YEAH
AND WE'LL GO, GO, GO, GO-GO
IF YOU'RE READY LIKE I'M READY
'CAUSE ITS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DUMB TO DO
HEY BABY, I THINK I WANNA MARRY YOU
IS IT THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES
OR IS IT THIS DANCING JUICE?
WHO CARES BABY ? I THINK I WANNA MARRY YOU
Just say I do
Tell me right now baby
Tell me right now baby
Just say I do
Tell me right now baby
Tell me right now baby, oh!
'CAUSE ITS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DUMB TO DO
HEY BABY, I THINK I WANNA MARRY YOU
IS IT THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES
OR IS IT THIS DANCING JUICE?
WHO CARES BABY? I THINK I WANNA MARRY YOU
Rachel, whom Kurt had charged as 'Maid of Honor', grabbed Carole's bouquet from her as the song ended and the preacher began the ceremony.
What felt like an hour later, the happy couple headed back down the aisle, followed by their sons and the glee club.
The reception took place in a small hall, the fall colour scheme in full glory as Kurt's handiwork shone. Rachel smiled, and Sam smirked watching her as they sat at the 'Glee' table, and chatted whilst they waited for the arrival of the bride and groom.
"Wonderful wedding" Sam commented.
"It was" Rachel agreed smiling at the boy seated beside her.
She scanned the table. Quinn sat glum faced beside Sam, Puck next to her who was flirting with Santana, Mike sat beside her gazing at Tina who was engaged in an awkward conversation with Artie and Brittany who followed, whilst Rachel herself listened to the conversation between Sam and Mercedes (who was sat beside her).
The DJ soon announced the arrival of the bride and groom, and they were diligently followed in by the best man and 'man of honor'. The wedding breakfast was served soon after, before Mr Schuester stood and headed to the stage for his song.
"Ladies and Gentlemen" Mr Schue began grabbing the rooms attention, the dull hum of conversation slowing to a stop. "I would now like to invite our bride and groom to the dance floor for their first dance"
Rachel giggled slightly at the brief look of panic that flashed across Burt's face, as he and his wife stood and made their way to the dance floor for the song.
Rachel giggled at the moves Kurt had evidently choreographed, and smiled more as she saw Mr Schue laughing as the couple danced. The song ended and Finn took the floor.
Giving a small speech about 'Furt', though Rachel only rolled her eyes, knowing he was only doing this is response to the fact that Sam had taken a punch for his new brother.
The group began to sing, and by the end of the song, she was wrapped in Sam's arms as they danced.
The next song began, the Dj whipping out all the cheesy wedding songs, and the glee club laughing and dancing awfully to the songs as they came.
Rachel herself found she had never felt happier than she did in this moment, with Sam, laughing as they thought up and recreated as many wedding dance moves as they could. The joy she felt could not be paralleled and she knew this was a night she would cherish forever.
Of course the joy couldn't last, and come Monday morning, her joy was well and truly shattered as Kurt announced his intentions to move to Dalton Academy. This of course left the 'New Directions' one member down the week before competition, but more than that, Kurt was one of the original 5, and knowing he was leaving left a hole in his wake which she knew no one could ever fill.
She damned Karofsky and she damned the school for allowing him no other option than to move, and she felt her heart break as she watched him leave the choir room, uncertain if he would ever re-enter.
There you have it, perhaps not the greatest chapter, but I had a go.
Hope you enjoyed, as always let me know what you thought.
Thanks,
