LOVE WILL FIND A WAY…
Sorry for a lack of update. It was because of two things. One I'm trying to bridge gaps in my main outline with filler and Two because I signed up for a fic exchange on another forum and thought the deadline for submission was 6/19 when in fact it was 7/19. That being said the former is why this chapter is so short because I don't know what I want to write to lead up until the wedding/my planed final chapters. If there are any characters/storylines you want me to touch on please review/message me and let me know. PS Lexi totes got robbed at the Daytime Emmy's and I know people are all Chad got robbed to but I'm biased because I love Scott Clifton and while I don't see B&B he deserved to finally win and I'm rambling…. Anyways on with the update.

The passing of Thanksgiving and Black Friday which according to Kurt was a Holiday in its own right meant one of two things. The first being that the semester was almost over and the other that soon it would be Christmas which was when the 'double gleek wedding' was to take place.
The initial reaction when the two couples had announced this date was that Tina was pregnant seeing as how it was only Turkey day that Finn had proposed to her however it was not the case. The case was that she and Finn and Mercedes and Mike were two couples in love which was why, while Michael was in Port Charles for the weekend the two brides to be had joined Kristina and Quinn at the New Haven apartment to make some plans.
"So," Mercedes said putting down a bridal magazine, "what's the etiquette on wedding dresses…. Could I get away with wearing the same ball gown I had on for the surprise non wedding?"
"Ok, who are you and what have you done to Mercedes Jones?" Quinn asked reaching up and holding a hand to Mercedes's forehead.
"Yea, I know before I said I wanted a gown fit for the diva that I am it's just."
"Just what, if money is an issue I can."
"No, Kristina I don't want a handout, anyway I was just wondering because I was thinking why start from scratch to create my dream gown when I can take the older dress and use it as a base and go from there."
"That's the girl we know and love," Quinn said with a smile as Kristina looked over toward Tina.
"What about you T, have you picked out a dress yet?"
Tina picked up one of the magazines and began to flip through it.
"I've got a few dresses that I'm deciding between," she said with a smile and left it at that before Quinn's voice spoke up.
"Ok, so what about bridesmaids, I mean Cedes your last wedding was kind of sudden and you only had Kurt and Krissy attending and Tina have you and Finn selected your best people yet?"
"Well, I know Finn most likely has asked Puck to be his best man," Tina said letting out a sigh, "as for my Maid of Honor….well Mercedes is the other bride, Krissy is her attending and Quinn no offence but your my groom's ex-girlfriend and making you my M-O-H would be all kinds of weird."
Quinn nodded understandingly before letting out a suggestion.
"What about Rachel?"
"What about I talk Mike into making Matt his attending instead and I do it," Krissy said.
"I wouldn't ask Rachel for the same reason I wouldn't ask you Quinn, and Kristina I wouldn't want you to do that to Mike even though I'm sure Matt would be on the phone in a heartbeat to conference with Puckerman about plotting a bachelor party."
'Planning a bachelor party with Puck…that'll be fun,' Kristina silently thought to herself before being broken out of her thoughts by a knocking sound on the door.
"Quinn, we're we expecting anyone else?"
The blonde shook her head as she stood up off the chair she was seated in and made her way toward the door where her eyes met up with a familiar pair of blue orbs.
"Artie," Quinn said with a smile on her face, still in awe of just how much her classmate had changed, "what are you doing here."
"Well, I was here to surprise my girlfriend," he said with a smile as he looked over toward Kristina, flashing her a smile. "But I see you ladies are busy, I guess I really should of called."
Watching now as the young man turned around in the doorway Kristina spoke up.
"I'm never too busy for you Abrams," Kristina said with a smile, "come in…sit…we are working on wedding plans at the moment but if you want you can hang out."
Artie nodded and headed into the apartment as Tina's face contorted into a smile as she held her hands up in triumph.
"Wait a minute," she exclaimed.
"You found THE dress? "Mercedes asked causing Tina to shake her head.
"No I told you I'm torn between a couple…. No…I found a solution to that little problem we were talking about before Artie knocked."
"You mean how on earth I'm going to talk Puck out of dragging me to a strip club for Mike and Finn's bachelor party?"
"You're an awesome legal mind you'll think of something," Artie said now seated beside Kristina, gently kissing her neck as she let out an inaudible moan.
"No," Tina said, "I mean my problem about figuring out my maid of honor…or," she began as her eyes turned to Artie's, "should I say man of honor."
Artie was about to open his mouth to respond to this proposal however Quinn spoke up.
"Wait, isn't that being a little hypocritical? I mean you don't want Rachel or myself attending because we were Finn's exes and yet you are asking your ex."
Tina simply shook her head.
"In all fairness Artie and I only went out on one date."
"And it ended the moment Tina told me she was faking her stutter…anyway yea,
I'd love to be your best person."
There was a small moment of silence before Kristina picked up a magazine.
"Now that Tina's picked Artie to be her best person," she said with a smile at her boyfriend, "can we please discuss color scheme."
"Man you really are Kurt's sister," Quinn said causing Kristina to toss a pillow over at her roommate before continuing, "What I meant is that I'd like to know what color bridesmaid dress to wear for when I stand up next to Mike."
"Red, it should definitely be red," Artie said with a smile.
"And why should it be red?" Mercedes asked.
"Because my girl looks all kinds of stunning in red, not that she doesn't look stunning in any color but I mean it's a Christmas wedding and all."
"Artie does have a point," Kristina said, "I mean I do look good in red."
The two brides looked at the brunette as if she were trying to upstage her however instead Kristina simply laughed.
"And it's Christmas, I mean me in a red dress with Kurt in a red tie and Artie and Puck in green ties."
The two brides nodded in agreement that their friends had a good idea and continued to talk about wedding plans before Kristina and Artie managed to steal away some time to head out to a private dinner and a movie as Artie didn't just drive up to New Haven just to talk weddings.

Meanwhile, as all this was going on in New Haven, the grooms were having a meeting of their own as Mike, along with Kurt and Matt headed to Ohio where they now were sitting in Kurt's former basement bedroom turned Dani's playroom.
"So, Finn, Mike….I'm sure the question on your mind is what does the puckasaurous have in mind for you bachelor party….two words…'strip club'."
"If I may interject," Kurt said waving his hand, "while you three may find naked ladies gyrating on your laps an ideal time I highly doubt my sister would and she is Mike's best person."
"Well then, what would you suggest?" Puck asked.
Kurt shrugged his shoulder.
"I don't really know, but you should really talk to her about things."
"Well, what are you planning on doing for Cedes and Tina?" Finn asked.
"Well, I was thinking about going to a karaoke bar, belting it out like the diva's we are…that is if Tina's attendant approves."
"Has your fiancé picked out an attendant yet?" Puck asked.
Finn shrugged his shoulders.
"If she did I'd be the last to know….though I bet she'll pick Quinn, I mean she lives close to Tina and unlike Rachel, Santana, and Brittany they are actually kind of friends, although my ex being my fiancé's maid of honor is kind of weird."
The group all just nodded at Finn's comment however soon it was interrupted with Mike speaking up.
"We've got a bigger issue to think about."
All eyes fell on him.
"I mean with the impromptu wedding that Kurt planed the last time for Mercedes and myself the location was predetermined and we didn't have to worry about it, and so I'm asking… Kurt do you have a location set for this one."
Running a hand through his hair Kurt slowly bit his bottom lip.
"Well," he said, "not exactly though I have some ideas in mind."
"You think you can tell me dude," Finn said, "because we kind of need to get invitations out."
Kurt nodded.
"Well, I could always talk to Nikolas about letting you guys use the castle again though it's like we've been there….done that."
"Next," Puck said with a smirk.
"Well…if it wasn't winter in Ohio I'd say possibly the McKinley football field."
"That would be totally awesome," Finn said, "but I get your point."
Kurt smiled.
"Next option… the Lima Country club but seeing as how the event is on Christmas Eve it may be booked up."
Mike shook his head.
"I think the country club will work, I mean you managed to get us an in on Thanksgiving no sweat and I used to be the best Lifeguard slash Tennis Instructor they had."
"Plus," Matt said, "My family has been loyal members of the club for years."
"Man, that was easier then I thought it would be," Finn said, "I mean we've figured out that the wedding would be at the country club that our conjoined bachelor parties won't be at a strip club…."
"Well we'll see about that one," Puck mumbled as Finn ignored his best man.
"Now, all we need to do is think about…"
"The cake?" Matt said with a smile as he took Kurt's hand, "taken care of."
The others nodded as they began to shift their conversation to other topics of interest.

wedding preparations were not the only thing on people's minds as true to Michael's words to Quinn he was in Port Charles in the moment however he wasn't there simply to see his mom and brother as he had other motives on his mind as he sat in the Quertermein's parlor watching Edwards face light up like a Christmas Tree.
"That's the best thing I've heard in I can't tell you how long son," he said with a smile, "I'm glad you've finally came to your senses and realized Sonny's evil ways."
"I still love my dad, and yes I know that technically AJ was my biological dad, but at the same time I know that there is a stigma with the last name Corinthos and I don't want it to follow me around while I try to etch out my own future. And I know Quinn doesn't want a target painted on her back either."
"I've always liked that Quinn girl, I'm glad that you're still with her and that you see her in your future. Quinn Quartermaine has a nice ring to it don't you think?"
"I guess, though I don't plan on popping the question to her anytime soon so I don't want you to start bringing up great great grandchildren."
"I promise I won't…today anyway; however would you two at least consider possibly working for ELQ this summer."
"We'll consider it," Michael said.
Edward nodded as he picked up his phone to call the family lawyer to draw up the papers so that Michael could officially change his last name.

First off sorry that this chapter is so short and that the Michael scene seemed out of place. Anyway in addition to the comments above my AC went out and so the past few days it's been hellish to write. The Matt baking the cake stuff comes from various other future cannons where apparently Matt Loves to Bake and the Michael stuff…well I've always wanted to see him embrace/acknowledge his Q roots and my fingers are crossed that he'll take the job ELQ on cannon for Abby's sake. Anyways I hope you liked this chapter. Next chapter may be some filler or it might be the bachelor/bachelorette parties and possibly the wedding.
