A/N: Sorry for the long wait, but things have been crazy this past week. I also may have finally gotten onto pottermore and spent quite a bit of time doing absolutely everything available.

So it looks like your going to get a little more of this story after all. I started writing this chapter and all of a sudden I realized it was more than twice as long as any other chapter, so I decided to split it up. (Which means there won't be as long of a wait!) I didn't originally plan it, but as I was writing, a few other characters demanded to be added, so I had to work them in as well. One more chapter after this, which is the actual party, then comes an epilogue or sorts, which consists of moving the boys to their new apartment in NYC.

Reviews are greatly appreciated. Enjoy

The weeks following graduation were quite hectic in our house. First came Blaine's 18th birthday. We didn't have a party, at Blaine's insistence. Instead we went out for dinner and Kurt made a cake. This time around, the cake was delicious, since Kurt made it, only there wasn't a dinosaur with Cowboy Kurt and Blaine riding it while it ate Finn. Blaine was quite disappointed at how classy the cake looked. The next day he and Kurt went to speak with a lawyer and got everything in order with Blaine's inheritance, which lead to Blaine trying to give Carol and I money for taking him in. We kept refusing, but finally relented and accepted the honeymoon he offered, since we missed out on that the first time around, in favor of sending Kurt to Dalton. We would be going on a cruise, leaving out of New York City. We were going to travel there with the boys to get them settled in their new apartment before school started at the end of the summer, and then we could leave straight from there. I was certainly looking forward to it, and I know Carol was also very excited.

Once the boys got over the shock of having enough money to do whatever they wanted, they took one day to go on a crazy, over the top shopping spree, getting new clothes for college, as well as stuff for their apartment. When they were finished the one day of spending insanity, they made sure everything was straightened out with the money going into several different accounts so they wouldn't get out of control and spend more than they should.

When July hit, the fun really started. Kurt and Carol were busy around the clock on wedding party plans. It seemed just as complicated as when we planned our wedding, only now the boys were already married. I thought they would have had less planning to do, but I guess whenever Kurt is involved, things have to be more complicated. At first, Blaine was helping with the planning, but he was eventually kicked out when every single suggestion was rejected. Apparently, Kurt wasn't interested in a Harry Potter themed wedding, or any other crazy theme that Blaine could think up. Transformers, Batman, Power Rangers, Rainbow Unicorns and Star Wars were each rejected as well. Blaine's one idea that he demanded was that he wanted wedding pie. They would also have a wedding cake, but for some strange reason, Blaine really wanted wedding pie. Kurt agreed to his one demand on the condition that Blaine would go watch TV while Kurt finished the rest of the planning.

"Hey Dad, I need your list of guests now. Is there anyone in particular you want to invite?" Kurt asked me, clearly a little impatient, waiting for my answer.

"Um… just the usual I guess. Oh, and make sure you invite your grandmother."

"Of course, I invited everyone in the family. I meant if there was anyone else you wanted, like friends, people from work, etc…" He said again. I'm glad he already invited my side of the family, since it didn't occur to me to invite them until just now. It's not that I wouldn't invite them, I just don't think ahead the way other people do.

"Who else is going to be there, besides my side of the family?" I asked him.

"Carol's side, minus her mother, all of New Directions, the Jones', the Berrys, the Warblers, David and Wes's parents, since Blaine used to stay with then a lot, Mr. Schue and Miss. Pillsbury… um, I think I'm forgetting some people, but that's the main idea. You know family and friends." He said, a little out of breath, since he didn't really stop to breath throughout his whole explanation.

"I guess I'll invite a couple guys from the shop if you don't mind. You know them all from working there. Did you invite anyone for your mother's side?" I asked him carefully.

After Elizabeth died, her family kept in touch for a little while. As time went on, we saw them less and less. Finally, one day, her father came to visit me in the shop to explain why they were basically cutting us out of their lives. For them, it was too painful to be around Kurt, who was so similar to Elizabeth. He had her looks, her voice, her mannerisms and even her outlook on life. I thought it was like having a part of her around, but for them, it was too much to handle. They stopped coming to visit, and eventually stopped calling altogether, because every time Kurt answered the phone, it sounded just like Elizabeth. Kurt didn't take it very well, but it wasn't that bad. He still had another set of grandparents and other relatives on my side. One time we were having dinner and it came up in conversation. Kurt said he was glad they left when they did, because it would have been worse if they stopped talking to him because he was gay. That broke my heart, because honestly, they really had no problem with that.

"Um… I thought about it. But I didn't think they'd want to come. Besides, they don't even know I'm gay. I wouldn't want Nana and Pop-pop to have a heart attack when the walk in and see two little grooms on top of the cake." He said sadly.

"I think you should invite them. It's an important day for you, and they are your family. Besides, they know you're gay. I know they haven't seen you since you were eight, but it was pretty obvious even then. What kid wears bowties to kindergarten and spends all their time having tea parties?" As I said it, I saw Blaine's head pop up from where he was sitting on the couch.

"Hey! What's wrong with that? I wore bowties and had tea parties!" Blaine said, as Kurt and I both broke into fits of laughter. After a few minutes, we decided on inviting Kurt's grandparents on his mother's side. I agreed to call and invite them since Kurt was a little nervous. I grabbed the cordless and went up to my room to call. I knew the number by heart. I would never forget that number. I used to call it all the time, all through middle and high school. Elizabeth's parents had never moved or changed phone numbers, so it was still the same after all these years. After a few rings, I heard someone answer. It was Elizabeth's mother, Mary. She sounded a lot older than the last time I heard it, but really, that was already ten years ago

"Hello?"

"Hi Mary. It's Burt. Hummel."

"Oh, Burt… How have you been?" She asked, clearly not sure what to say.

"Oh, I'm fine. How are you and John?" I asked her, trying to start out the conversation pleasantly, before inviting her to a wedding.

"John isn't with us any more. He had a heart attack two years ago. It's just me now, but I'm getting by ok. I miss him everyday. I know you know how difficult it is to lose your spouse." She finished sadly. I did know. It wasn't something that you got over easily.

"I'm so sorry to hear that. Kurt will be upset when he hears that. He always liked John."

"Oh, how is Kurt doing? He was always such a sweet little boy." She asked. She seemed genuinely interested, not like she was just asking to be polite.

"He's actually doing really well. He just graduated high school and is heading to New York in the fall to start college. He's actually the reason I called. We wanted to invite you to Kurt's wedding." No reason to get into the whole story over the phone, about them already being married.

"Wedding! I thought you just said he graduated high school. He's so young!" She said, shocked, but not angry.

"That's what I said, but they're in love." I said honestly.

"Well, you and Elizabeth got married at the same age. You probably should have gotten married a little earlier too, considering she was as big as a house at your wedding." She said with a smile in her voice, before continuing. "What's the lucky boy's name?"

I knew immediately that this was going to be much easier, since she wasn't assuming Kurt was marrying a girl. I knew that they knew.

"Blaine. He's a great kid, Kurt loves him, and in fact we all do." I said. I realized what I said as soon as Mary started talking again.

"We?"

"Yes. I got remarried last year. Her name is Carol. She has a son Kurt's age, so our families have sort of combined to make one larger one." I hoped this wouldn't be the reason she refused to come to Kurt's wedding.

"I think it's wonderful you've been able to move on. It has been ten years. I know that's what Elizabeth would have wanted for you and Kurt. I'm glad you're finally happy again." She said.

"We are all happy now. And this wedding is one more thing to be happy about. So, do you think you'd be able to make it? I know it would mean a lot to Kurt." I asked.

"I'd love to. If I could turn back time, the one thing I would change is staying in Kurt's life. I know that John and Elizabeth's deaths were out of my control, but that was one thing I could have done and didn't. Thank you so much for including me." She said gratefully. I told her the date, time and location and finally hung up after she said she would see me there.

"Good news Kurt! Nana is coming to your wedding!" I said as I walked into the kitchen and put the phone back in the dock.

"That's great she's coming. But what about Pop-pop? Doesn't he want to come too?" He asked. Oh, that's right… I probably should have started with that part.

"Why don't you take a seat?" I said, waiting for him to sit down. Once he did, I sat across from him and tried to break it to him gently. "Pop-pop passed away. I'm very sorry."

After a minute, Kurt finally looked right at me to talk. "Shouldn't I be upset? Why isn't this bothering me, like it should?" He said. At least he wasn't that upset.

"It's OK. Don't feel bad, you haven't seen him in ten years, and he was the one to cut off contact. But Nana wants to come. She said she wished that she kept in contact, and I think you should give her a chance." I said, hoping, he would be OK with seeing Mary.

"Yeah, that's fine. It'll be nice seeing her after all these years." Kurt said before going back to working on finalizing the wedding plans. Right now he was working on a seating chart. While Blaine was still in the other room, I figured I would ask about his family, in case it would upset him.

"Does Blaine have any family coming?"

"He doesn't really have any family to invite. We obviously wouldn't invite his dad; he had one uncle, who acts the same as his father, so he's out too. We did invite his mom, but we haven't heard back from her yet. Blaine's still hoping she'll come, but I doubt it. Hopefully she will at least write back." Kurt said, a little sadly.

The rest of the planning went smoothly. The day of the party arrived and Kurt was a nervous wreck and running around, frantically waving a clipboard. I finally grabbed the clipboard out of his hands and sat him down on the couch.

"Kurt! Look at me!" I shouted to get his attention. He finally calmed down and looked right at me from his place on the couch. "You need to calm down. Everything is going to work out just fine. Now, I'm going to hold on to this clipboard, and Carol and I will finish getting everything ready. You are going to go, shower and get dressed. Also, go apologize to Blaine. I'm pretty sure you scared the crap out of him this morning when you got up at five am to change the color of the ribbons on the party favors." I said, trying to convince Kurt that we could handle the rest of the preparations.

"But there's still so much left to do! And the ribbon color was all wrong. We wanted hunter green, and that original ribbon was more of a forest green. Luckily Walmart was open 24 hours. I would have liked a nicer quality of ribbon, but at least I was able to get the correct color. It had to be the perfect shade to match our eyes! Blaine's hazel eyes have flecks of green, and mine change, but always have that ring of gold in the center. This ribbon works much better." He said quickly.

"Stop! Carol knows about everything that has to be done. Let her take care of the last minute stuff. You need to relax and get ready. You need to look your best, you know." I said as I ushered him up the stairs to get ready. He didn't handle stress well, and this was no exception. Once he was out of sight, Carol came in the room and offered to finish whatever details were left. I gladly handed her the clipboard and went to get ready myself. My mother was staying with us (since we now had an extra bedroom again), so she ended up helping Carol organize. Puck came over to help Finn load up everything from the house to the truck and then drive it to the hall and unload it there. That left me in charge of making sure Kurt and Blaine got there on time. I went upstairs to see if they were ready yet. I knocked and got no response so I went in to hear the shower running. Neither of them were in the room, but as soon as I heard the moaning coming from the bathroom, I decided that maybe being fashionably late wouldn't be such a bad thing. Besides, I would get to watch a little more TV while I waited for them.
