(So who else cried a river at the Quarterback episode...since hearing of Cory's death that was the first time I cried...it was therapuetic and it helped me be thankful at how blessed we were to have witnessed this simple mans talents...he loved his fans...and we all loved him and his character whether he was Finn, or playing another character we loved just loved it because it was Cory Monteith portraying the role...I dont know if i'll ever understand why he was taken from us so soon...honestly a celebrity death like this has never affected me so much..But As a Fan...I will vow to be loyal and keep imagination alive. Finn Hudson...Cory Monteith...I love you always and forever.)
Finn sits up and Rachel smiles
"So..."Rachel asked
"Rach I know you want a big wedding...come on eloping?..."Finn says
"Why not...why make a big skeptical on a big wedding when all I want to do is start our lives together."Rachel says
"What about...getting married in Upstate New York? The church your parent's were married in?..."Finn says
"My parents did not have the best example of a marriage Finn."Rachel says
"So you're trying to avoid everything they did?...even though it's what you've been dreaming about your entire life?"Finn asked
"My dreams are different...now do you want to marry me or not."Rachel says Finn smiles at her and kisses her lips
"I want to marry you...but not right now...we smell like Strawberries and Sex."Finn says Rachel laughs
"Think of it as cleansing our souls for a new start."Rachel smiles
"Tomorrow...we will get married..."Finn says Rachel nods and he pulls her into a kiss
During the night Finn watches Rachel sleep and he kissed her forehead and slipped out of bed and picked up his cellphone
"Hey it's me...look I need you to help me with something pretty big tomorrow night what do you say..."Finn says
"Finn it's 1 in the morning what could you possibly need?...is this a booty call?"Quinn asked
"No..its not..and I love Rachel."Finn says
"I just thought you changed your mind..so what is it."Quinn asked
"Im marrying Rachel tomorrow..she wants to elope but I know she wants that big wedding all you girls and Kurt want...so...I need you to take my credit card..book the church right now...and get a minister...flowers...birds...and the perfect dress for her..the whole shabang."Finn says
"You expect me to do this because."Quinn asked
"Because If I ask Puck he's going to have me and his little sister get married inside Bernie's bar...and if I ask Kurt he'll feel like we're trying to steal his wedding glory which isn't the case...I want to marry to Rachel and I want her to have the wedding of her dreams...which is why Im asking you to please do this."Finn says
"Consider it a wedding present then.."Quinn says
"You're the best. Text me every detail."Finn says
"You got it and Finn..."Quinn says
"Yeah?"Finn says
"Congrats...Im glad you finally found the one...I wish I had what you and Rachel have."She says
"You know I hear wedding hookups with the best man are pretty good...and my best man is going to be Puck..and I know you two already hooked up so stop denying him Quinn."Finn says
"I dont know what you're talking about."Quinn says and hangs up Finn chuckles and turns his head to see his beautiful bride to be asleep
Finn smiles takes a deep breath
"Im getting married..."He shakes his head and wraps his arms around Rachel
"Im gonna love you forever."Finn says
"Hmm I love you Finn."Rachel smiles in her sleep Finn smiles and kisses her forehead
~The next morning Rachel takes a shower and gets dressed she spots a white dress in her closet she grabs it and puts it on Finn smiles at her and wraps her arms around her waist and kisses her neck
"Morning soon to be wife."Finn says
"Morning soon to be husband...ready to go to the courthouse?"She smiles Finn kisses her lips and smiles
"Let's get married."Finn says Rachel wraps her arms around his neck they laugh
Finn and Rachel are in the car and she's singing to him
"It's a beautiful night...we're looking for something dumb to do...hey baby...I think I wanna marry you."Rachel sings Finn reaches for her hand and kisses the back and smiles
"Babe...are you sure this is the right way?..."Rachel says confused Finn stays quiet and focuses on the road
Rachel looks around confused and realized they've been driving for a while
"Seriously Finn Im freaking out where are we.."Rachel asked Finn finally stops and they get out of the car
"This isn't a train station right?...You're not gonna put me on a train right?"Rachel asked Finn looks at her confused
"What?...no why would I put you on a train..."Finn asked
"Sorry...it was a dream I had last night we were suppose to get married and you put me on a train to go somewhere...it was very emotional...and never mind..where are we?"Rachel says
"Turn around."Finn says Rachel turns a sees a big church
"Saint Patrick's Cathedral...Finn this is where my mother got married.."Rachel says Finn smiles and takes her hand he stops at the door and Rachel goes inside and sees Puck...Kurt...Adam...Finn's Dad..and her Mom and a wonderfully decorated church
"Babe..."Rachel says confused
"You may have wanted to elope but...I know you...you want these people here with us...as we say our vows to one another."Finn says
"How did you even do this...all of this..."Rachel says in tears
"Actually I had help."Finn smiles and Quinn smiles at them both and hands her flowers
"Come with me I'm going to take you to your wedding dress."Quinn says Kurt smiles and pulls Rachel with them she looks at them still confused and goes with them
"Im guessing you didn't tell her that our father is giving her away."Puck says giving him a bowtie Finn chuckles
"I thought that would be a big surprise...the father does have to give away the bride right."Finn says Adam hands Finn a small flask and Finn laughs
"To Hudson getting married!"Adam says Finn shakes his head and sips the flask
"Ahh...Come on boys..Im finally getting married!"Finn says raising his hands up Puck and Adam cheer and pick Finn up
Rachel walks out while wearing her wedding dress and her mother smiles
"Fits you perfectly baby."Shelby smiles Rachel smiles at her mom and hugs her
"I can't believe you guys are here..."Rachel says
"Quinn called us at around 2 am...told us what was happening and that Finn wanted you to have your dream wedding so here we are. I am jealous though secret wedding? I should have thought of that."Kurt says Rachel walks over to Quinn and she smiles at her then Quinn smiles
"You make a lovely bride Rachel."Quinn says
"Thank you for all of this Quinn...I know we've had our rough patches but...this is just...beautiful I dont know how to thank you."Rachel says
"You and Finn deserve a big happily ever after."Quinn says Rachel smiles and nods
"Im gonna hug you now okay."Rachel says Quinn laughs and nods
"Okay."She says Rachel smiles and hugs her tightly
Rachel walks to the inner doors and sees her father standing there
"Daddy.."Rachel says shocked
"Happy Wedding day Princess...I know you're upset with me, and you have every right to be...but I only have one daughter and I see the way you and Finn look at each other, this marriage is built to last...and I'll only be able to do this once then...so what do you say?...Will you let your old man walk you down the aisle and give you away?"He says Rachel cries and hugs her father
"Im sorry Daddy...you have every right to be happy I was so upset that you couldnt find that happiness with Mom..."Rachel cries
"Honey...Im sorry I lied all these years...but that doesn't change the fact that I will love you and your brother forever..Im still your Papa. Okay."He smiles Rachel nods and he wipes her tears
"Come on let's get you married to Prince Charming."He says Rachel laughs and nods
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home
(Finn is looking down at the ground and Puck nudges him he looks up and sees Leroy and Rachel walking down the aisle he smiles and is in awe at how beautiful Rachel is...Rachel and her Father walk down the aisle and she smiles at her Mom Quinn Adam and Finn's Dad who are in the cubicles...she looks forward and sees Finn in a tux looking so incredibly handsome she smiles and bites her bottom lip taking a deep breath)
How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
(Rachel and her Father stop at the head of the alter where Finn is standing with Puck and the Minister, Rachel smiles at Kurt and he winks at her Rachel turns and kisses her father's cheek and he places' Rachel's hands into Finn's, Finn smiles at him and nods at him...Rachel faces Finn and she smiles at him Finn winks at her and they face the Minister)
I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
You put your arms around me and I'm home
"We are gathered here today...to Join our friends Finn Christopher Hudson, And Rachel Barbara Berry...they say that one of the strongest contributions to love is friendship..and that is how you two began..as friends...and then over the course of time you two learned to love one another...and cherish that love so deeply...I believe you two have some words you'd like to share with each other...Rachel...you first."The Minister says Rachel smiles at Finn and takes a deep breath
"Finn for the past 5 years you've been in my life as a friend...you were always there for me to confide in when I had a bad call back...you would always kill the spiders in my apartment when they were around ...or you would go grocery shopping with me because I couldn't reach my vegan yogurt...you would even watch Funny Girl with me like 30 times when I was sick...you are one of my best friends and no one knows me better than you do...and I guess thats why I was scared to admit that I was in love with you at first...because I was afraid to lose your friendship...you've been this rock that I could always depend on...and then the thought of you not knowing that I loved you too...scared me even more...now that I have you I never want to let you go...you're my soul mate Finn Hudson..."Rachel cries and smiles Finn wipes her tears with his thumb and he smiles
"Finn Your turn."The Minister says Finn smiles and nods
"Nothing in my life has ever come easy for me...I was either told I wasnt good enough or..I lacked something.. but you never ever made me feel that way...You always saw something worth while in me...I never understood why..but then over time I got the sudden urge to take care of you...protect you...be friends with you...and then as time passed by a little more...I began to fall in love with you...which came so naturally...for some reason...Loving you...and being loved by you its the greatest feeling in the world...and thats all I need...its all I want and it's all I'll ever look forward to...You're my happiness Rach...I need to make you happy...for me to even have a shot at happiness...does that make sense?"Finn says Rachel smiles and nods
"Perfect sense."Rachel smiles Puck looks over at the cubicles and sees Quinn smiling at the couple before her...Quinn turns her head and smiles at him Puck winks at her and Quinn rolls her eyes and they both smile at each other
