45 minutes.
Rachel was standing in the bathroom of her childhood home, staring into the mirror and holding a plastic stick in her freshly manicured right hand.

Rachel sighed and a tear rolled down her cheek.
She looked down at the stick.
A pink plus sign.
"Oh my God…" Rachel whispered, her eyes welling up with tears.
What am I going to do, she thought.
How are we going to do this?
How am I going to tell Finn…?
She was lost in her thoughts, until she heard a knock on the door.
"Rach?" She heard Quinn say, and Quinn opened the door a crack. She saw Rachel crying and came in. "Rachel, what's wrong?"
Rachel saw Quinn's eyes drop to her hand and her eyes widened. She tried to hide her hands behind her back.
"Rachel, let me see that." Quinn reached for the test.
"No!" Rachel cried, trying to keep it from Quinn. "Please, Qui-!"
"Rachel, give it to me!" Quinn grabbed Rachel's hand and took the test.
Rachel's eyes widened as she stared at Quinn, who was staring at the stick.
Rachel sat down on the floor and cried. Quinn sat down with her.
"Rachel, you're pregnant?" Quinn said, trying to look her best friend in the eye.
Rachel continued to cry. Quinn put her arms around her, crying as well.
Rachel sniffed and looked at Quinn. "Please, Quinn, please please please don't tell Finn… or anybody. I don't know what I'm going to do." She choked on the last word and started crying again.
"Rachel, it's going to be fine… you're going to be fine." Quinn whispered.
After about 5 minutes, they got up and went into Rachel's room to get dressed.
"Where were you guys?" Brittany asked. She, Tina, Santana, Mercedes, and Beth were already dressed. Quinn went over and threw on her dress and redid her make up.
"We were just in the other room…" Quinn answered for Rachel as she applied her nude lipstick.
"Alright, Rach, let's get you into that dress." Santana said, getting the dress as Rachel undressed. She stepped into her dress and when Santana started to zip it up, it took just a little bit longer than usual to zip up.
"That's funny…" Santana said. "It was a little more loose before. How'd it get so snug?"
Rachel's eyes widened and she and Quinn exchanged nervous glances, and the other girls glanced at one another as well.
Rachel tried to come up with something to change the subject with, and then remembered something.
"I don't have my somethings old, new, borrowed, and blue!"
"Oh crap!" Brittany shouted.
"Don't worry! We got it covered." Quinn pulled out Rachel's gold star pendant from Finn in their junior year.
"Here's something old." Quinn grinned.
Beth took out a little blue string bracelet. "I forgot, Rachy! I made this for you." She handed it to Rachel.
Rachel smiled tearfully at her little sister and hugged her. "Thank you, sweetheart." And she slipped in onto her wrist.
"Something blue is done. Here's something borrowed." Santana took a little clip out of her hair and put it in Rachel's.
"And, Rach, Finn sent something over for you."
Quinn gave Rachel a box. She opened it and saw an anklet with gold stars on it. Rachel smiled and put it on.
"Something new!" Tina grinned.
"Alright…" Rachel smiled again. "I'm ready."

Finn stood in his childhood bedroom in front of a mirror as he straightened his tie. He looked at his two best men, Puck and Kurt, and smiled.
"This is insane." Puck said. "Who would've thought that you and Rach would be this first to get married?"
"Everybody!" All the guys said, grinning.
Puck thought for a second, looked down at his feet and grinned as well. "Touché."
Finn laughed and straightened his tie again.
"Alright, boys, I'm ready to go."

One minute… one-minute… okay… I can do this… God, what am I going to tell Finn about the baby…? Never mind that, I'm getting married! In a minu-… wait… 30 seconds…
Rachel's mind raced. She was lost in her thoughts until someone tapped her on the shoulders. She turned to see her dads on either side of her. They each took one of her arms.
Then, the music started playing.
Rachel smiled nervously at her fathers, who flashed encouraging smiles back to her.
Then, they began to walk her down the aisle.
Everyone rose and looked mesmerized by her sheer beauty, Her mother wiped a tear from her eyes and mouthed, "You're gorgeous!" A nine-month pregnant Emma had some help standing up from her husband, but smiled at Rachel all the same.
But there was only one face Rachel was really focusing on.
She looked at Finn, whose eyes were wide. He was mesmerized. She was absolutely breathtaking. Quinn was crying too. Puckerman nudged Finn in the ribs and grinned. When Rachel reached the second row, Finn came down to meet her. Rachel's fathers kissed each of her cheeks and took their seats. Finn smiled at Rachel.
"You're the most beautiful creature I have ever seen, baby."
Rachel giggled.
"You don't look so bad yourself."
They walked up arm in arm to the altar. Finn took Rachel's hands and gazed into her eyes. She gazed right back into his.
The rabbi smiled. "We are gathered here today to witness the union of Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry. Now, I understand the couple has chosen to write their own vows? Finn, would you like to go first?"
Finn smiled and brushed some hair off of Rachel's face.
"Rach, I'm so ecstatic to be standing here with you today. There's not a second of any day that I live that is spent not thinking about you. We may not have always been the most perfect couple to some people, but to me, we're perfect. When I look at you, all I can think about is when I can hold you in my arms again, because that's the best thing I have ever felt. And, Rachel, this is the best day of my life. And one day, when we have children of our own, I hope they're blessed enough to be just like you. You're my one and only. Rachel, I love you more than life itself."
He smiled at her, and she was crying freely now. He'sthinkingabouthavingkidswithme,Rachel thought, whichisgood,seeingashe'sgonnahaveoneprettysoon.
When she pulled herself together, she smiled at Finn again.
"Finn, you're the best thing I ever could've possibly wished for. You are God's greatest gift to me. I always knew that we belonged together, and I told you more than once in the early days of our relationship. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can't WAIT to spend the rest of my life with you. And, one day, when we have kids, I know you're going to be the most amazing father. You're my one and only, Finn… I love you."
Finn smiled, wiping a tear from his eye and then one off of Rachel's cheek.
The rabbi smiled at the young couple.
"It is now time to exchange the rings."
Finn's groomsmen just stood there for a moment.
"Puck!" Kurt hissed. "The rings!"
"Oh crap! That's me!" Puck said a little too loud, which came with a dirty look from the rabbi. He handed him the rings. And he handed them to Finn and Rachel.
Finn placed his on Rachel's finger. "With this ring, I thee wed." He smiled.
Rachel placed hers on Finn's finger. "With this ring, I thee wed."
"Finn Christopher Hudson, do you take Rachel to be your lawful wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Rachel Barbra Berry, do you take Finn to be your lawful wedded husband?"
"I do."
"Well, then I now pronounce you husband and wife… you may kiss the bride." The rabbi smiled.
Finn swept Rachel into his arms and kissed her. The guests burst into applause, as their friends gazed on at them lovingly.
Okay, so that moment was perfect, too…
UH UH UH! It's not over yet, guys. We still have to get through my favorite part: the reception! Slight spoiler alert: Hold onto your hats, boys and girls… it's gonna be one hell of a ride.
