I do not own Glee or anything to do with it. That belongs to Ryan Murphy and FOX.
Hey everyone. Three days to go. DON'T PANIC. I decided due to recent spoilers that I NEED to get this chapter out before Tuesday just in case and I get hate mail for copying. I won't say what the spoiler is but if you want to know just drop me a line. Anyway hope you enjoy the chapter.
Planning a perfect wedding
Chapter six: Bridesmaids and best men
"What you doing?" Emma paused glancing over the sofa Will was sitting on, pen in hand and lost in thought. Will looked up and was surprised to see his fiancée standing there her eyes wide and he smirked to himself. She looked so cute.
"Oh nothing" Will replied moving up so that Emma could sit down next to him. "I was just making notes on who my best man could be. I narrowed it down to three candidates" he explained to Emma who nodded.
"I haven't even thought on who my bridesmaids and maid of honour could be" she confessed "Making a list sounds like what I would do" she smiled gently to Will who looked sheepish.
"Well I want to make sure. Being best man is a big responsibility" he explained and Emma nodded "I decided on Bryan Ryan, Finn and I thought of maybe asking Shannon to be m best person so to speak". He glanced at Emma and Emma slightly nodded. He and Bryan had kept in touch since his stint in Les Mis and when Will had emailed him to say he and Emma were getting married he sent his RSVP back straight away.
"Well I was thinking of asking Shannon to be one of my bridesmaids" she slightly confessed. She and Shannon had got closer since the start of the year and after Will considered her to be the closest faculty member at the school. "But I wasn't sure" she replied biting her nails.
"Go for it" Will grinned patting her on the shoulder "I'm sure Shannon will be thrilled."
"You sure" Emma trailed off and Will nodded.
"Plus it means I only have to choose between Bryan and Finn" he sighed. Even though he knew Bryan since high school and got along with him reasonably well, even though in high school he was kind of his rival, Finn he saw something special in him and even thought of him as a kind of younger version of himself.
"Only you can make the decision Will" Emma replied. "But I know you will make the right one. You always do".
"I think I might sleep on it" Will murmured "So what about the bridesmaids. Anymore ideas".
"Rachel I think will be one of them along with Shannon and I'm going to ask James`s wife Lucy to be the maid of honour" Emma replied "That leaves one more space. I could ask one of the glee girls" she started to say before Will turned to her.
"What about Sue" he replied. "I know it sounds the most stupid answer in the world but she has been there tormenting us for the past three years and secretly I think she does support us" He glanced at Emma who bit her lip. "I mean you can say no if you want to" he started to babble but Emma shook her head, pulling a strand of red hair out of her eyes.
"No I'll ask her. But I really don't think Sue will accept. You know what she is like" she gave a sharp laugh which Will replied with a chuckle. "If Sue says no I'll ask Quinn" she replied and Will nodded.
"Good choice" he replied. "Anyway I better go to bed. Up early tomorrow as Figgins wants a meeting about something" his shoulders slumped and Emma responded by kissing him slightly on his arm to comfort him. "You always know how to make me feel better Em" he replied gratefully and Emma gave a soft smile back before climbing off the sofa and making her way to their bathroom and bedroom while Will sat there thinking about his life and how happy he was.
"Finn?" Will glanced up at the younger boy who walked up to him confused.
"Mr Schue sorry about today it's just that Rachel was panicking about her dress and she doesn't know what song she should be singing at Regionals and" Finn started to say before Will shook his head smiling
"That`s fine Finn and this has nothing to do with that" Will clipped the top back on his pen and turned to Finn smiling, Finn with a `what` look on his face
"Finn you and I have gone through a lot since you started glee club. Well I kinda forced you into glee club since Rachel wanted a male singer who was just as good as she was." Will chuckled as the awkward memory came to memory "Then there was the whole we wasn't the father scenario with Terri and Quinn. I guess what I am trying to tell you is that I feel a connection to you probably more than to any of the other guys in Glee club" Will could see the awkward look in Finn`s eyes and decided to cut to the chase.
"Would you be my best man at my and Miss Pillsbury's wedding" Will said quickly and Finn`s eyebrow shot up in shock. Clearly he wasn't expecting that Will thought.
"Gosh Mr Schue I don't know. I mean shouldn't you be asking someone that you have been close to through your life. Or maybe a cousin or something" Finn replied stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"I'm an only child Finn and all the friends I have were at my wedding to Terri beforehand. Beside I don't really want any of them there. I trust you Finn to do a good job" Will clapped his hand on Finn`s shoulder and looked in the eyes of the younger boy who then started to nod.
"Ok I'll do it" Finn grinned as he hugged Will and then started to walk to the door "Oh next week can me and Rachel practise the duet we thought could happen at Regionals?" he paused and Will nodded.
"Sure thing Finn" he replied and Finn grinned walking out of the door and nearly banging into Emma who was walking from the opposite direction.
"So I guess you made your decision then" she smiled sitting down beside Will at the piano.
"Yeah" Will nodded "Finn will do a good job you know he will" he smiled slightly "So what about you and your meeting with Sue?"
"She says, in her words, that she will not help out the marriage of one person who looks as if she should belong in a zoo as the offspring of a monkey and an chimpanzee and another person who`s hair is so curly that it should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for being so curly. So yeah she said no" Emma sighed placing her hands in her lap.
"Same old Sue" Will broke out in a grin "So did you find Rachel and Quinn?"
"Yeah" Emma nodded "Rachel accepted straight away and wants to know when she should come dress shopping for her bridesmaid dress. Quinn was a little bit more dubious but after some prodding from Rachel she managed to change her mind. So that was good. And Shannon she was delighted" her face broke out into a grin "You were right Will about Shannon inside her she just wants to fit in. Plus I`m sure Cooter won't be able to keep his eyes off her" she smiled.
"You mean like I won't be able to keep my eyes off you" Will whispered and Emma slightly blushed looking down at the ground slightly embarrassed.
"We should be going" Emma changed the subject "Aren't we meeting the wedding planner later?" she glanced at the clock in the choir room and gasped. Will also checked the clock and realised they were running ten minutes late. He grabbed his messenger bag and coat, then he and Emma walked quickly out of the choir room, making sure that the choir room was locked behind them before they set off. Linking arms they made their way to the parking lot and drove off in Will`s car.
And there we go. Hope you all liked it and please don't forget to review. The next chapter will be them writing their vows so if it's a little bit shorter than the previous chapters, I don't mean to be. Only four more chapters to write after this one so I `should` get this fic done before the proper wedding on glee. I wasn't expecting them to do a wedding this quickly so I won't rush this fic but I also won't be taking my time on it lol. Anyway please review and ill update again soon.
