"You don't think it's too revealing, do you?" Rachel asked as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. They were currently at a bridal shop and she had just started trying on some wedding dresses.
"Oh come on Rachel, in less than 24 hours after people see you in a revealing dress, you are hopefully going to lose the v-card. You'd think that a dress would be deemed to revealing by your guests? I don't think so," Kurt said, giving her his signature diva look as he continued to flip through the wedding magazine he found near the couch.
"I just want it to be simple you know?" Rachel said, turning to him. "Oh come on Kurt! Stop looking at that magazine and help me out here!" she said, grabbing the magazine from Kurt's hand, earning herself a bitch look from him.
"Rachel, are you seriously considering buying your wedding dress here?" he muttered quietly, looking around him for any sign of the store owner.
"Why?" she replied, giving him a puzzled look.
At this, Kurt quickly stood up from the couch he was sitting on and stood in front of Rachel. "Well for one thing, it is your wedding day so it has to be special. And for another thing," he said, holding up the material that was currently on Rachel, "this isn't exactly the special type of material you'd want to be looking for."
After hearing Kurt give her a lecture on fashion, Rachel slowly sat at the couch and looked at him seriously.
"Okay Mr. Fashion genius, what do you have in mind?" she said, resting her head on her hand as she leaned forward.
"Two words: Vera Wang," Kurt said with a proud look on his face.

"Blaine honey, I'm home!" Rachel said as she took of her shoes. "Blaine? Where are you?"
"In the kitchen!" she heard him say. As Rachel entered the kitchen, she was greeted by a sweet scent of tomatoes. Approaching him slowly, Rachel looked over Blaine's shoulder to see that he was currently stirring a pot of tomato sauce.
"Mmmm what's that?" she asked, resting her chin upon Blaine's shoulder.
"Tomato sauce. I'm making vegan spaghetti," Blaine said rather proudly as he turned his head to give Rachel a kiss on the temple. "You can go sit, I'll just finish up."
"So how was your day?" Blaine asked as he started pouring the spaghetti sauce on the plates of pasta.
"Tiring. I bought my wedding dress today," Rachel said, giving him one of her biggest smiles.
"Oh! Well that's great love, I can't wait to see you wearing it," Blaine said, moving towards Rachel and giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"Mhmm, me too. I'm rather proud of it, but I won't let you in on any details. Were you able to buy your tux?" she asked him as he poured juice on their glasses.
"Yep. As much as I hate to admit it, Cooper was a big help. He was the one who chose almost the whole thing," he said, taking a seat beside Rachel and starting on eating his spaghetti.
"Well that's great! I told you he wouldn't be a drag to be with!" Rachel said to him.
"Oh...and I asked him to be my best man," Blaine said, smiling sheepishly.
"Aaaaw baby," Rachel said, holding Blaine's hand. "That's great news!"
"I know. I didn't even expect him to say yes, but I'm glad he did."
And with that, the two continued eating dinner as they shared stories about their day. at the end of the night, they both settled for watching a movie until they both drifted to sleep, holding each other.

Just a month to go before the wedding and both Blaine and Rachel were starting to feel the wedding jitters. They had finished almost everything they needed to do to set up the event. The church was already picked out, the invitations were already sent, the catering services were already booked, the bridesmaids and groomsmen had their outfits on the way, and just about every single detail they needed to do were almost done. But even if they were right on track with their schedule, Rachel still couldn't help but feel racked up as she continued to re-check every single detail up to the point of driving their wedding planner crazy.
"Ms. Berry, I can assure you that everything will be fine. PLEASE trust me!" Tony, their wedding planner finally squeeled as he held Rachel by both her arms. From afar, Blaine couldn't help but let out a snigger as he took in their wedding planner's dishiveled state.

As Rachel woke up on the morning of the 30th of April, she quickly stood up as she felt Blaine's side of the bed empty.
"Blaine?" Rachel called out while trying to wipe the sleep off her eyes. As consciousness slowly took over, she noticed a note on the side of her bed with Blaine's curvy hand writing on it.
"Went to finish some things. Will be back before evening. Love you x3 ~B"
"Hmm ok. Evening," Rachel said, standing up and heading towards the bathroom. After getting ready for the day, Rachel took out her phone to call Kurt. They still haven't checked on the final product of her wedding dress and she was hoping that she could at least get a glimpse of it before walking down the aisle. As soon as she sent Kurt the message, she quickly received a reply, telling her that he could make a quick run from his office to accompany her for the dress. Sighing in relief, Rachel took her bag and headed out to meet Kurt at the cafe near the wedding store.

"Honey!" Blaine's mom said as she leaped into Blaine's arms to give her a hug.
"Hi mom! What brings you here?" Blaine said as he held his mom in his arms.
"Well, your dad and I have a surprise for you," she said as she fixed her blouse, which became out of place from her hugging her son.
"Surprise?" Blaine said, giving both his parents a questioning look.
"Not really a surprise," his dad said, looking at his wife. "More like...an early wedding gift."
"Dad you didn't have t –"
"Oh hush baby, we wanted to. Besides we know just how expensive weddings are today. and since you won't let us help with all the payments, we decided to just planned and paid for your honeymoon!" his mom said to him, giving him the biggest smile that was adorably similar to his.
"You're kidding me right?" Blaine said, shocked as he took in the big smiles that were currently on the faces of his parents.
"Nope! Come sit!" his dad said, motioning for him to sit beside the table that they had reserved for this occasion.
"Well, we figured that after your wedding, you would officially be out of our hands and support and we wanted to give you a pre-final inheritance, since of course you will be inheriting more when we pass away," his dad said, smiling rather proudly at the two of them.
"Um dad, I'm getting married. I kinda don't want to think about you two dying while the date of my wedding is getting nearer," Blaine said, looking at both of his parents who were still smiling at him despite the uncomfortable look that he was giving them both.
"Well anyway, here you go," his mom said, handing him a thick white envelope. "This holds all the information. Your plane tickets, your booking information, your board and lodging, the extra tours, and just about everything we picked out for the two of you," she said.
"And remember, we also placed a credit card in there so if you two want to buy anything while on your honeymoon, don't hesitate to swipe away," his dad finally said to him, giving him a smile while still having the I-mean-business-look on his face.
As Blaine took in the weight of the package, he gingerly opened the envelope and looked at the stack of papers that were inside. Slowly, he took one of the bigger folder and opened it, his eyes bulging as he read the details.
"Dad, mom! I... I can't accept this!" Blaine said, snapping the folder shut and handing it towards his mom.
"Oh hush Blaine love! This is our wedding present to you and Rachel! Oooh and look at the folder labelled '10'" his mom said, suddenly bouncing in her chair.
As Blaine took out the folder, he noticed how it was thicker than the other folders he had already seen from the huge envelope. Another thing about this envelope is that it was composed of bond papers, not brochures. As he opened the folder and read the contents, Blaine suddenly stood up and almost shoved the folder into his father's chest.
"Dad no. I can't accept this," Blaine said, handing the folder towards his dad.
"Son, trust me, you're mom and I do not mind at all. Just consider everything as our gift," his dad said, giving him a serious face but still with a smile across his lips.
"Dad a house? No! This is too much! I can accept the honeymoon package and what not but not this. Me and Rachel still have an apartment and we can still save money to buy our house someday. Please dad, I can't accept this," Blaine continued, still holding out the folder for his father.
"Now Blaine, you're mom and I must insist. We just want to make sure that our future grandchildren will never experience the hassles of living in an apartment. Besides, we've already paid for everything plus one year advance of mortgages for the house. We believe you have no choice," his dad finished. Oddly enough the two couple seemed to be not at all startled of Blaine's reaction. Even Blaine had to admit that surely his parents knew that he would react that way
"We also figured that we should start this tradition of buying our sons houses for when they get married. We were supposed to give Cooper one but we all know what happened to that proposal," his mom said, giving his dad a sad look.
"So Blaine, just accept this house as a gift from us to you both. It would make us very happy If you do," his dad said to him, holding his mothers waist in the process.
Even without them really telling Blaine, he knew it was a lost argument, so he just slowly nodded and folded the folder containing the papers of the house. As soon as Blaine finished replacing the folder inside the huge envelope, he was suddenly engulfed by a hug by both of his parents.
"Thank you mom and dad," he muttered as he tried to keep his breathing at a normal level, as he was currently being suffocated by his parents' hug.
"Our pleasure baby," his mom said.

"Kurt oh my god," Rachel whispered as the seamstress took out her wedding dress. She had just finished making the final adjustments to the fitting and Rachel was to try it on for the first time after the repairs to see if it finally had the perfect fit.
"I told you sooooo," Kurt said in a sing song voice as he too stared at the wedding dress.
"Ms. Berry, here is your dress. Would you like me to help you put it on?" Claudia, the seamstress asked in her strong French accent as she continued to hold out the dress.
"Yes please. I don't want to do anything evil with that work of art," she replied, handing her purse out for Kurt to take as she was guided towards the fitting room.
After a few minutes of tucking and pulling and zipping, Rachel was finally in the dress and was helped by Claudia as she made her way out of the fitting room and into the podium. As she stepped out of the room to be seen by Kurt, she was greeted by none other than his dumb founded look, causing Rachel to let out a small giggle.
"Turning straight Kurtie?" she teased, still in fits of giggles as Claudia started checking the stitches.
"Shut it! And don't call me that. Have you seen yourself? Oh my god Blaine is the luckiest groom. I TOLD you, Vera Wang is the one!" he said as he stood up and circled Rachel, looking at every detail of the dress.
"There you go! Perfect!" Claudia exclaimed, standing straight and giving Rachel a warm smile.
As they finished purchasing the dress, she was suddenly nudged in the rib by Kurt. After receiving the initial blow, Rachel gave him a glare that was only met by Kurt's knowing smile.
"What in the world Kurt? That hurt!" she said, rubbing her rib that was currently in searing pain.
"Well, I was thinking. Since we are done with the wedding dress shopping, maybe it's time for us to shop for the honeymoon," he said, giving Rachel a wink.
"Honeymoon? What are we gonna shop for the honeymoon?" she gave Kurt a questioning look as she tucked the receipt in her wallet.
"Oh I don't know...lingerie? A few laces here and there and some cute night gowns," he replied, earning a deep blush from Rachel.
"Lingerie? Oh god wow...uhmm do you think I should buy some of that?" she asked, still wearing a flushed look from Kurt's comment.
"What? Are you planning on wearing those animal sweaters you used to wear back in high school?" Kurt said sarcastically, raising one of his eyebrows at Rachel.
"Oh you know I stopped wearing those clothes after Finn and I broke up! Ok fine! Let's go to Victoria's!" she said, grabbing on to Kurt's hand and leading him out of the boutique.

[A/N]: Aaaaand I'll stop here :D Ok so for those of you who wanted to know what the wedding dress looks like, I'll give the links on the chapter of the wedding day. And don't worry, I already have it picked out. I never really was familiar with designer clothes but I do know that Vera Wang is such an amazing fashion designer that I just knew that she should be the one that Rachel should buy her dress from. And true enough after seeing her collections from her site, I was definitely right about choosing her :D
Anyways, as for the direction of the story, I think I'll end it with the honeymoon chapter I kinda feel like there is a great amount of lacking when it comes to the rated M-ness of this story, but good god this is my first story so don't expect those hot insanely jaw dropping scenes that will make you flush with frustration, but I'll try my best without blushing the hell out of myself ((: |:
Reviews are lovely! (: Ciao!
