Mercedes and Kurt were flying in at 7. Quinn and Rachel were going to pick them up while Finn and Puck were going to get reservations and meet them at the restaurant. As soon as they walked out of the terminal, the squealing commenced. Kurt and Mercedes ran to Rachel and Quinn.
"Oh my gosh! You guys look amazing" Mercedes yelled as she hugged Rachel and Quinn.
"So do you!" Quinn responded!
"Rachel, I have to say your outfit is amazing, I am impressed!" Kurt said teasing.
"Well I'm glad you approve!" she said as she hugged him.
"Where's my nephew?" Kurt asked.
"He's with Puck and Finn. You'll meet him at the restaurant." Rachel answered.
They all walked to the baggage claim.
"Jeez how many bags do you guys need?" Quinn asked.
"Well, we have off for like six months so we need a lot of clothes. Plus, some of them have gifts and our accessories" Mercedes answered.
"Well you guys better be nice to the guys so they help you bring all these bags into your apartment" Rachel said laughing at the amount of stuff,
"That shouldn't be a problem. Once they see you guys in the sexy outfits we designed, they'll do whatever!" Kurt said. Everyone laughed and went out to the car to go meet Finn and Puck.
Dinner was amazing! Kurt and Mercedes ordered a couple bottles of wine for the table, so the laughter at the table was louder than ordinary. They also talked about the possibility of going to Lima as a group and having a glee reunion.
"It would be perfect! All of us haven't been able to get together, so it'll be like a five year reunion. Now that college is over and we've all started with our careers, it's the best time to do it" Kurt said.
"Plus, it'll be in a few months, like July or August, so most people have vacation time during the summer" Mercedes added.
"Well, I'd definitely be interested in that. I can show off Benjamin!" Rachel added.
"I guess it would be nice to see some of our old friends!" Quinn said, clearly meaning everyone but Santana.
"Quinn, you have Puck now, you don't need to worry about anyone taking him from you" Kurt said, practically reading her mind.
"That's not what I meant" Quinn said, her face full of embarrassment now that Kurt called her out.
"Yes you did, but it's okay! I'd feel the same way if I were you" Kurt patted Quinn's knee, "But Santana's married now, so she'll be out of your hair."
"What?" Everyone was shocked that the Santana Lopez, was married.
"Yupp!" Mercedes knew this too.
"To who?" Rachel asked.
"Well, Brittany came out and modeled for our line and she brought Santana with her. One night we were all talking and she told us she got married… to Sam!" Kurt answered.
"Wasn't he gay?" Puck asked.
"Puck, he dated Quinn. No he isn't gay." Rachel said.
"I thought he was just using Quinn as a cover. My bad." He said.
"Don't worry, I kind of thought he was gay too" Quinn said. The whole group started laughing.
"But anyway, now that we know she won't be a problem, what do you guys think about the trip?" Mercedes asked.
"I think it'll be cool" Finn finally spoke, "I mean this way my mom and Burt won't have to pay to come here again."
"And I'm sure my dads would love to see all of us! He loves hosting parties, so he could help us plan the reunion!" Rachel added happily.
"Puck, Quinn?" Kurt asked.
"I don't care." Puck said. "Whatever Quinn wants."
"Um, I guess it'd be nice to see my mom" she said softly.
"Yeah and I miss my mom and sister too. Plus, we need to tell them all we're engaged…finally" Puck said.
"So, I guess, we're in!" Quinn said.
The entire group was joyous. It may have been with the help of the alcohol, but their table was a lot louder than it had been.
"Great! So it's settled! We will have a Glee reunion in the beginning of August!" Kurt said happily.
"I'll start calling everyone else and we'll make sure they are free too!" Mercedes said, pulling out her iPad to start some emails.
"Finn and I will call my dads to see if they want to help set some stuff up!" Rachel jumped in.
"Um, I guess Puck and I will call our moms to tell them we're coming." Quinn said, dialing her phone.
After all the phone calls and emails were done, everyone was ready to go home.
"So, we'll see you guys in a few days at my show" Rachel said. She had just gotten a small part in a theater production of 'Funny Girl'. Everyone said their goodbyes, gave their hugs, and made even more plans to get together.
Puck and Quinn helped Mercedes and Kurt bring their luggage into their apartment and they went home to relax. When they were there, Puck asked Quinn about something he'd been thinking about for the past couple of hours.
"So, when do you want to get married baby?" Puck asked as he massaged Quinn's shoulders.
"I'm not sure" she replied, "I haven't thought about the when so much, only really about how I want it to be simple."
"And I thought you'd be the person who wanted a Cinderella wedding" he laughed jokingly.
"When I was littler I did, but after the baby and my dad kicking me out, I realized I'd want nothing like that at all!" she answered.
"Well, what do you want?" he turned her to face him.
"I want simple. You and me and our close friends and our moms and sisters." She said kissing him.
"Do you want to get married in a church?" he asked, "Because I'd have to take some classes or something to do that."
"You've been looking into this haven't you?" she asked and he nodded. "But no, I don't want to get married in a church. After all that we've been through, I think god would understand."
"Okay, so how about we get married in a park or by a lake" he asked.
"Puck, where is this all coming from" she asked looking up at him, "Do you have an idea about our wedding? If you do, please tell me!"
"Well, I have an idea, but if you are against it or think its stupid let me know" he said.
"Okay I will. Now tell me!" she was excited that Puck had been thinking about their wedding with so much detail.
"I was thinking and I know it'll be soon and it may be tough to do but it may be a good thing" he started, "Since we have to go to Lima to tell our moms we're getting married anyway, I figured we could ask them to help us plan. And now that all of our friends are going to be there in August, we'd all be in the same place. So maybe we could get married in Lima. It would be great for my mom because she wouldn't have to take off a lot of work to travel and your mom would be there for you to help you prepare." He stopped to get a reaction from Quinn.
"Keep, going. I want to hear everything before I tell you what I think" she said intertwining their hands together.
"Okay, so I remember when we were little you used to love Appleseed Park because it was beautiful and near the lake. And when you were pregnant, you went there a lot to think and get away from everything. Well, now they have a gazebo that overlooks the lake and there are a lot more flowers. Since it'll be summer when we're there, it will be great weather to be outside." He looked up at Quinn who was smiling, "And since I know my mom would love it, we can include some Jewish things and also some of the Christian things your mom would like."
"Okay, anything else?" she asked.
"No, but pretty much I think we should get married at Appleseed Park because I know it is a place that means a lot to you. Also, all our friends and family will be there so we won't have to miss out on any of them. Rachel's dads could help us with the reception and decorating and the cost to rent the park is really cheap compared to if we did it anywhere else. So what do you think?" he finished.
"Well, first I love you so much and I am the luckiest woman in the world to be marrying you!" she said pulling in to kiss him. "And, I think that is an amazing idea! Appleseed Park is one of my favorite places and it's always beautiful during the summer. It'll be the best for our moms because they won't have to travel and they could help us with every step of the way! And having all of our friends there would make it even more special."
"So, we're going to do this?" he asked.
"Absolutely, I'll call everyone tomorrow and tell them our plan! Thank you for thinking of this Puck, it means a lot to me!" she thanked him.
"I just want you to have the best wedding possible" he said pulling her in close.
The next day while Puck was at work, Rachel, Mercedes, and Kurt met Quinn for lunch near the dance studio.
"So, what is this big surprise you couldn't tell us on the phone" Kurt asked, "Not that I don't love meeting with you all!"
"Well, I'm getting married!" Quinn said.
"Quinn, yes, we've known this for weeks" Mercedes declared.
"Yes, but I know when and where now!" she hurried out.
"What?" Rachel yelled, "Tell us everything, when did all this happen and why am I just finding out!"
"Last night when we got home Puck told me he'd been thinking about it and he came up with the best idea" she excitedly told them.
"Quinn, don't keep us hanging! What did he say?" Mercedes asked.
"Since we are all going to be in Lima in August and our parents are there, he said we should get married then. He described how pretty Appleseed Park would look decorated and he said since he knew I loved the Park awhile ago, it seemed like the perfect spot. He told me he'd ask Rachel's dads for help decorating and with the reception and whatever I wanted he would make happen. And he said we could incorporate both of our Parents religious traditions to make them happy." Quinn happily explained.
"Puck thought of all that." Kurt asked laughing. Quinn nodded.
"Well, I think that is the best idea and my dads would love to help!" Rachel said.
"Looks like Puck has really been worth all the trouble in the past" Mercedes said, "I'm really happy for you both!" she hugged Quinn.
"Now I have to worry about finding a dress in two months!" Quinn said shaking her head that she almost forgot.
"Honey, you don't have anything to worry about!" Kurt said.
"And why is that?" she questioned.
"HELLO! Two of your best friends are top designers!" Kurt said.
"And we would LOVE to make your dress for you!" Mercedes added.
"I can't let you guys do that! There isn't a lot of time and I'll just get one from a store" she didn't want to put all this pressure on her friends.
"Quinn, you are not wearing something off the rack at some little boutique!" Kurt practically shouted.
"Plus, Kurt and I already made some sketches in case you were going to ask us anyway! Plus we know your style and what you like. We are making this dress!" Mercedes said.
"Are you sure? I don't want to pressure you guys" Quinn replied.
"It's settled. Kurt and I are making your dress and it's going to be our gift to you! And we want no objections. So get your little white ass up and we will go back to our apartment to start!" Mercedes ordered.
"But-" Quinn started before Kurt interrupted, "You heard her, no objections! And Rachel you better believe we are making your maid of honor dress too. So let's go you guys we have a lot of work to do!"
They went back to Mercedes and Kurt's apartment to begin the dress preparations.
The wedding was coming together perfectly. After the day Quinn told her mom they were going to be in Lima and get married there, she was so excited and offered to pay for everything. While Quinn and Puck tried to decline, her mother wouldn't back down. Of course, Rachel's dads wouldn't let Puck pay them for their help either because they always thought of Quinn as a second daughter. So, Quinn and Puck only had to worry about putting everything together and not so much about cost.
The wedding was now a month away and Quinn was so excited. In about three weeks, they were going to head to Lima to set everything up and they'd stay until the wedding a week later. Puck told Quinn he didn't want a bachelor party and although she told him to, he declined. So they both were going to have a huge party in Lima in lieu of the bachelor/bachelorette parties. Then they'd have the reunion and then the wedding. Puck was able to work from home until after their honeymoon because he and his boss were practically like brothers now; so he had a lot of freedom. So, he was helping Quinn with whatever was needed. Kurt and Mercedes were almost done with Quinn's dress and they'd do final detailing in Lima. All of their friends would be flying in for the party, reunion, and wedding so they didn't have to worry about that anymore.
It was almost time to return home and Puck and Quinn were more excited than ever because finally, they'd be married!
