Subject: Last Night

Hi Rachel!

Well done on last night! You were stunning, and I can say no higher praise than that. Seriously, you were wonderful. Blaine and I had the most amazing evening and seeing you made it just that little bit more special.

While I was watching you, I couldn't help but remember back to our school days. Remember our first nationals, sneaking into the Gershwin all those years ago, For Good? Seeing how much you've grown – how we've both grown – it was beautiful. Seeing you finally up there, having achieved your dreams that was miles away back then but is right in your fingertips now, I can't express how fantastic that was. You're truly a star, Rachel.

(Also, Blaine made very similar comments as we were leaving! You might just want to know)

However, something else happened as well last night.

While we were waiting outside the theater for our taxi, Blaine proposed. And I said yes!

He took my hand, told me how amazing this evening was and thanked me for it. Rachel, you should have seen him – he was so nervous and it was adorable! Then he got down on one knee and just asked me! Everything he said, it was so sweet and admittedly very cliché, particularly for someone who lectures in English for a living, but it was lovely and I couldn't not say yes! Then he took a box from his jacket, said he knew what I was like and didn't want to risk getting me a ring, so he'd bought a watch instead, if that was okay. It was just perfect, Rachel! I've been planning on asking him for a while – there's even rings hidden in my drawer – but it was the most amazing night of my life.

I'm so happy right now Rachel, I can't believe it!

Well done on last night, and Blaine sends his love as well (but he's saved more for me, of course!)

Lots of love
Kurt

OH MY GOSH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I'M SO HAPPY FOR THE PAIR OF YOU!

Tell me, have you two got a date yet? A theme? Someone to organise? If you need any help, let me know!

But that just sounds so lovely and romantic! If only Jason's proposal had been the same, I might well be married myself right now, but the fact that he took the ring box from out of his underwear made the whole thing suddenly much less appealing, so of course I said no! Then I couldn't help wondering what else might have come out of his underwear as well, so I left him. Anyway, four months into a relationship is nowhere near enough time to be getting engaged. I'll wait for at least a year and a half before I accept anyone's proposal!

But wow, I'm so happy! I think I squealed when I read the message myself! It's going to be the most gorgeous ceremony, I can already imagine!

And thank you so, so much about my performance last night! If only I'd known you were there, I'd have got you backstage afterwards and everything! But I must admit what you were doing was much better, I can imagine!

I'M JUST GLOWING RIGHT NOW! THIS IS WONDERFUL!

All my love
Rach

Wow, Rachel, thank you so, so much! You were the first person we told, at Kurt's insistence!

Now we've just got to phone back home and tell them the good news!

And I know Kurt's told me he's passed on my comments already, but you were beautiful on stage the other night.

Your congratulations are gratefully and enthusiastically accepted!

Thank you all so, so much for all the lovely comments and support you've been giving this story so far!

What I intend to do with it in the future is to keep writing and updating it here - however when I get to around September and I'm back at school, I intend to try and recruit a few friends to help me with this. I'll create a LiveJournal, or, failing that, a Tumblr, and I will be formatting this as best as I can to make it look realistic - for example, I will make a business card for Santana and write Brittany's message on the back, then take a photograph of it instead of just writing it out as I do on here. I'm really excited about getting this going!

Again, thank you for all your support with this! I'm having so much fun writing it and I hope you're enjoying reading it too.
