Well beautiful people, here is the last chapter, the end of the ride. Thank you so much Britt because without you, this would not be here. There is an authors note on the bottom that I really hope you all read. Until next time 3

Burt Hummel was a man of few words, which is why he fought with his speech that he would give tonight. Tonight, at his son's wedding. Tonight Burt could have not been prouder of his only son.

He stood in the back of the yard, side by side with the most beautiful flower girl the world has ever seen. He looked forward at the two men at the front of the aisle. His son's smile illuminated the room and his soon to be husband's smile could reach the stars.

He was slightly disappointed that he wouldn't be 'giving Kurt away' but he knew that his son did not want to 'play the bride' so he took the next best thing and escorted his pride and joy down the aisle. He would never admit it to his son, but he had been easily replaced when it came to being his favorite. Even though he wouldn't put the truth to his lips his son already knew and couldn't have been happier.

The music struck up and the pair slowly began to walk down the aisle. Liliana, ever the show stopper, had to stop every step to gently place the rose petals on the carpet. Which, of course, earned a chuckle out of every attendee.

When they finally reached the couple of honor Burt stopped for a moment to collect himself and to push back the tears that were burning his eyes. Once he regained his composure he quickly pulled Kurt into a tight hug, making if brief so as not to wrinkle his suit. "I love you so much." He said softly into his son's ear.

"Dad, you're going to make me cry." He smiled and looked at his son with glossy eyes before turning to Blaine. Blaine held out his hand to shake but Burt rejected it and wrapped his arms around him in such a way that only Papa Bears could do.

"I love you too. Welcome, officially, to the family son." He stood back and nodded at the two before taking his seat next to his wife. Liliana stayed perched between her dads in her position, taking their hands into hers. He looked a few chairs over and smiled at his son's soon-to-be mother in law. He didn't know the whole story, but he was happy that she was making an effort now. Last week, when they were both in Lima, they met for lunch and had a heart to heart. He trusted that Cecilia wanted nothing but love and positivity for the family. He also trusted that she wanted to make amends. When he told his son he could feel the joy over the phone. If Burt Hummel trusted someone with his son's happiness, they had to be the real deal.

The room looked back as Santana and Cooper began their descent down the aisle. Santana looked stunning in her plum, gathered, floor length gown alongside Cooper in his black silk tuxedo with matching tie and cummerbund. They were followed by Brittany and Finn whom, of course, matched Santana and Cooper's attire.

When all seven people were finally perched in their position, each side turned to face the other. Kurt and Blaine's eyes met with a passion neither man had ever felt before. This was happening and in that moment, both men knew that this was the best decision they ever have made in their lives.

There was a certain, indescribable spark in the air. It was something electric, something magnetic. The winds blew in every, but yet one, direction: towards Kurt and Blaine. They danced and swirled, running circles around the two men. Everyone noticed it, everyone felt it, but no one commented on it. They all just sat back and watched the universe celebrate it's work. The Ladies Destiny and Fate were rejoicing. Their aura whirling and leaping through the men, further deepening their bond.

The Justice of the Peace was finally the one to break the trance. "We are gathered before you today to join these men, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel and Blaine Devon Anderson, in matrimony." The smile on either man's face was enough to light the barren night sky. They each, unconsciously, held their daughter's hands a little tighter. This was all they needed, this was right.

"Kurt and Blaine's family came together in the most unusual of ways, it was as if the fate of the stars brought them here. There's no denying that feeling of love here today. There is something insurmountable in the air, something peaceful yet strong, freeing yet binding, forceful yet kind. The energy surrounding us today is paramount. I feel honored to be before you today, to unite these men as lawfully wed husbands here, at their home, with all of those who are closest and love them, almost about as much as they love each other."

The last comment earned a chuckle from their guests, but Blaine and Kurt didn't notice. All they could see, hear, smell, breath, feel were themselves and Liliana.

"Kurt and Blaine decided to write their own vows. Kurt." Justice Lyra took a step back and let all the attention fall to Kurt.

"Blaine, when we decided to write our own vows I, more than anything, wanted to find something prolific, something perfect to celebrate our day. I spent hours pen to paper waiting for the precise words to fill the pages when finally it came to me. I don't need to use fancy wording and complex passages to exclaim my love for you, I just need to be me. Which is why I'm off script and completely improving this right now. Blaine, I was completely lost when I met you. You and everyone here today knows my plight, knows the struggle. I was surviving, but I wasn't living. I was just a shell of the man that I used to be, that you help me become again. It was nothing less than fate that brought us here together, as a whole family. You gave me back my life, you gave me back my heart, you gave me back my soul. I love you more than I could ever put into words and I stand here today ready to say I do and spend the rest of my life joined as one."

Tears pooled in both of their eyes as they heard sniffles in the yard. Kurt glanced over at his dad who was not even trying to hide the fact that he was crying as he wiped his tears away with the tissue that Carole forced into his hands. Kurt was certain that the man was just short of wiping his nose on his tuxedo suit, which would not have ended well for him had Kurt caught him.

Lyla speaking brought Kurt back out of his daze and into focus. "Blaine."

Blaine picked up Liliana and took a step closer to Kurt before saying his vow. "Kurt, I did have this whole speech written, memorized and rehearsed. But hearing yours just now made me realize that it wasn't good enough for you. Kurt you say that I saved you, but I honestly feel that you saved me. I didn't realize that it was possible to love someone so deeply, so intimately before I met you. It's this can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, World Series kind of love. Liliana and I had been waiting for you our entire lives we just didn't realize it. Our family is unique, but I think it's perfect that way. In only minutes you will be my husband and while I can't promise you everything will always be perfect, I can promise you this; I promise you that I will always love you. I promise to bake you cookies at least twice a year, to never go to bed angry, I promise to hold your hand and to be by your side in sickness and in health. I can't promise you forever and always, but I can promise you until the end of our time. I love you Kurt, always and forever."

Kurt was now crying and leaned in close to his almost-husband. "I can't believe you quoted 'It Takes Two.'"

"Hey it's an awesome movie." He cheekily replied, tears now freely flowing down his face as well.

"You're such a goober."

"You love it."

"Of course I do."

Lyla quietly cleared her throat to get the men's attention again. "Okay, I think it's time to do the official things before no one can see through their tears for the kiss." The guests laughed as the used the brief interlude to wipe their tears and blow their noses.

"Okay let's get to business." She said with a smile to be greeted by a sea of cameras and iPhones rising from the seats. "Kurt, do you take Blaine to be your lawfully wed husband, to be joined by love and trust, a member of the new lifetime that you, Blaine and Liliana will share?"

"I do." Kurt managed to choke out, tears burning the back of his throat.

"Do you Blaine, take Kurt to be your lawfully wed husband, to be joined by love and trust, a member of the new lifetime that you, Kurt and Liliana will share?"

"I do." Blaine made no attempt to hold back his emotions. Even though his face was wet, his smile was wide. There had never been a moment in his life where he was happier.

"By the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and husband, you may kiss your love."

Kurt and Blaine just looked at each other for a moment, both of them in that instance knew what they would do. Blaine placed Liliana on the floor, facing her family and they both immediately dropped to their knees. 'Kiss your love.' They each pressed a lingering kiss to their daughter's cheeks.

Their family and friends ate it up. There was crying, there was laughing, and above all there were flashes. Well, that was of course until Santana happened.

"Okay, okay that was so sweet I need to go to the dentist, but come on make it official! Kiss ya man!" She yelled out from Kurt's side. They looked up at each other, eyes sparkling, and smiles wide before standing. Like a force the wind seemingly pushed them together. Just how the wind blew from two sides at once was beyond them, but they didn't question it. The two threw themselves into each other's arms as their lips met.

A spark started at Blaine's toes and traveled up his body leaving his lips to find Kurt's. It continued down Kurt's body and exited the same place it entered Blaine's. It was nothing like either man had ever experienced before, something else entirely. As they held to each other tighter the energy seemed to spiral around their bodies, forever connecting them as sound of a spoon against crystal rings throughout the yard. Cooper stood tall at the table on the patio where he sat with Santana, Brittany, and Finn. "Attention everyone. Now if this was your regular, run of the mill, wedding this is where we would introduce the couple for the first time married and yadda yadda. That's not how we roll in this family. As you can see they are already out here mingling with you people, trying to inconspicuously wipe your old woman kisses off of their cheeks." The group of family and friends laughed while Cooper paused for dramatic effect (of course).

"Normal people do the whole first dance thing first. Nope not us, because right now I decided that I want to give my speech now. I hope all of you giving speeches are ready because your time begins now."

Kurt moves his head towards Blaine and whispers into his ear. "What is wrong with your brother?"

"You know as much as I do when it comes to him. There is no predictability. I just hope that he remembers that there are children here."

"Oh dear God." They return their attention back to Cooper whom, has to be the center of attention, stood of the bench wrapping their porch.

"Well, I am here to raise a glass to my baby brother and my new baby brothers – you know my two brothers." Both Kurt and Blaine rolled their eyes at the same time. "Blaine and I have been through a lot in our lives, especially Blaine. Life has thrown every single curve ball it could at him and guess what – he knocked every single one of them out of the park. Everyone here knows his history, so it's best not to dwell on the past. But something changed those months back. I came to pick up my beautiful niece one day and Blaine is practically – not wait, this is Blaine, of course he was – bouncing off the furniture. I took one look at him and recognized the look in his eye. He had met someone, he met someone that was meant to make a change in him. He met Kurt. Kurt, I am so grateful that I stand before you today, able to help you celebrate your union. I love you probably more than the wee one over there-"

A loud "Hey!" could be heard across the yard being yelled by a surprised Blaine.

"Sorry little brother, but he never wa-"

"Don't finish that sentence Cooper!" Kurt yelled from their perch in the yard.

"Okay, okay. I'm going to wrap this up before I get in trouble. I love you both and I can't wait to see where life takes you both next. And next is the lovely Santana."

The crowd clapped and laughed as Cooper made his way over to Kurt and Blaine and hugged them both tightly.

"Okay, okay, your queen demands attention. And before you all roll your eyes, you know it's true." A smiled brightly as everyone chuckled. "No, but seriously this past year has been a whirl wind. You all know that Kurt is my best friend. He has been there with me through things unimaginable and things that would have broken most people. He was my rock, he was my anchor, even when he was just as broken as I was. He and I were like a hammer without a head trying to drill a stripped bit into the wall. Yes," she paused, "exactly.

"It wasn't even a year ago we were living in our tiny apartment, somehow managing to function, but forgetting how to live. Then one day, my little lost puppy got sick and had to be taken to the vet. It was there that we met the little curly haired hobbit for the first time. How were we to know that it was the beginning of happiness?

"To be honest with all of you when he began getting close to Blaine, I got jealous. I thought I was going to lose my whole life. I thought I was going lose my best friend, and the love of my life that I just got back. But Kurt is a spectacular human being. He and Blaine went above and beyond what any actual person would to make sure that I was as involved as possible. Today and every day I am so honored and blessed to be able to call you my best friend, and to call you my brother – of sorts – Blaine.

"You know Kurt, we make a pretty good team. Blaine I'm happy to have you on our team. I love you so, so much." She choked up on the last words and ran over the Kurt whom immediately wrapped himself around his best friend.

Brittany spoke next, making everyone laugh, raising every one's spirits before Finn walked up to the front. "Hey, I know it wasn't planned or anything but I really want to say something so my brother. Kurt, I know that lately I haven't been around, life took us far apart, but please remember that at the end of the day I will always love you. We had a rocky start, but at the end of the day we ended up in each other's corners.

"Kurt you taught me more on how to be a man than I think anyone other than Burt. I can't believe my first time meeting Blaine was today, and I promise you I will try to be close again. While I may not be here in person, I will always be with you in spirit, always know that no matter where you are, what time it is, what is going on, I will always been here to listen. All you have to do is speak.

"Life is too short for regrets, and I can honestly say that joining Glee club and meeting you is one thing that I will never, ever, regret.

"Now let me get off of my soap box before I ended up crying like all of you. But one last thing before I go. What you, Santana and Blaine have gone through embodies our anthem. You never once stopped believing. And because of all of you I never will either.

"I love you Kurt, welcome to the family Blaine, I can't wait to get to know you better." As he stepped back into the crowd of sniffling and sobbing people Kurt ran up to him and threw himself into his brother's arms. Kurt missed him so much, he never imagines how difficult it would be to be without this man for so long.

"Thank you Finn."

"You're welcome. I love you."

Burt hugged his boys before walking up to the patio. He cleared his throat and began his speech. "Well I'm not quite sure how I am going to top that speech, so I am not even going to try. You both know how much I love you, Blaine you know how grateful I am to you, Kurt you know how grateful I am for you.

"Blaine, I watched my son shatter into pieces. For a while I actually thought I lost my son. His physical presence was there but his spirit, his spark was gone. With you, he got I back. Because of you I got my kids back. Because of this, I owe you everything.

"Kurt every day I wake up and I grow a little bit prouder of you than I was the day before. I love you boys. I am so, so thankful that I am here to enjoy and celebrate this day with you. This is the happiest day of my life, even more so than the day you were born.

"You may think that I'm crazy, but I know your mother is here. I have felt her fire the entire day. I don't think I have felt more at peace and happier since the day we had you. I love you boys. Congratulations."

With the mention of Elizabeth the spark in the air ignited once more. It wrapped around Burt and found its way to Kurt and Blaine. They felt the electricity in their fingers and their toes. All of the tears they were shedding, even though they were happy, vanished. All that was left in its wake was pure joy.

"Okay, now that the train o' tears has finally arrived back at the station it's time for the first dance." Mercedes said as she stepped up and grabbed the microphone from the DJ. "I didn't get to say a speech but I wanted to sing this for you, so you know that I am so happy to have you back Kurt."

Mercedes began to belt out her rendition of Etta James' immortal hit 'At Last' as the two linked hands, and pulled to each other's chest. In that moment, they felt like one and the world faded away as the just swayed to words, got lost in the song.

My lonely days are over. And life is like a song.

Their daze was broken by a little tug on their pant legs, a certain brown haired beauty wanting to cut in. "Can I dance with you too daddies?"

"Of course baby." Blaine replied as he picked her up keeping her close. The winds picked back up and danced around them, not quite touching, but close enough to feel on the hair of their arms.

The song came to an end and Finn took the microphone from Mercedes. "There was a special request for a fathers and daughter dance. They didn't give me the song they want, but I heard this and I thought it was perfect."

The instrumental track began to play in the background and all eyes focused on Finn.

"Love is born in heavenly places
And put on earth to fill empty spaces
Then given to the Spirit of someone, just like you.

"The father smiles, a tear falls from his eye
And with that tear an angel flies
A witness to love as it fell to the earth
Sweet gentle soul, I was there for your birth

"God smiles and angels fly
Heaven opens wide
So angels can fly . . ."

The two men cried as they listened to the words of the song Finn had chosen for them. They watched, almost in slow motion as her dress blew in the wind, her hair bounced as she moved. This moment right here was perfection.

"You were a child but for a minute
I tried to cherish each moment as we spent it
I hope that I took enough time on my way
To give you my heart, at the start of each day."

"Excuse me." The heard a burly voice mention from over their shoulder. Kurt turned around to see his father standing there. "May I have this dance?" He asked holding his hands out for his granddaughter to grasp.

"Of course." The replied simultaneously letting go of her hands. The watched as he pulled her about fifteen feet away from them. Blaine rested his head on Kurt's shoulder as they watched Burt and Liliana dance together.

"I made plans as you would grow up
Had hopes and dreams how things would end up
I pondered my guidance, at times I would doubt
But it's truly divine the way you have turned out."

They watched as she looked up at him, eyes sparkling in the sun, smiling wide as the oceans. She was standing on his feet as he led her in their dance. Well it was more of a side to side sway because Burt Hummel was not a dancer, but it was priceless.

They watched as the winds swirled around their father/in-law and daughter. It was something out of a fairy tale, something that only the two of them saw. The watched as the winds seemed to dance along with them.

"My seed has blossomed into a flower
This day will become one of your greatest hours
So I open up my hands and my heart with pride."

Kurt took Blaine's hand into his and held on as tightly as I could. "You know Blaine,"

"Yea Baby?" He replied pressing his body into his husband's, both still watching the precious scene before them.

"I think, I think she's going to dance."

END

Song used is Tony Ransom - When Angels Fly & I hope you all see what I did there.

I hope you all enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. It was quite a ride and the amount of you that have followed, favorite, rated, and enjoyed this is mind boggling. Thank you for letting me use this as an outlet. I love each and every one of you. You all fucking rock.

But this Author's Note comes with a heavy heart. This week we learned of Cory's passing and, I for one, am devastated. I dedicate this story of love lost and found in his memory. His body may be gone but his spirit will live on in the hearts of many. It's an extremely hard time for us as a fandom and it's important to remember a few things. Firstly, it's okay to cry, it's okay to be sad. Secondly, we all know that Cory had his demons. We must not remember him because of this, but rather learn from it. He was much more than his addiction he did so many good things for this world. Lastly, I have had the unfortunate experiences to lose many friends and family over the years to almost everything imaginable. Be empathetic to others. Let his loved ones grieve in private but if you have the opportunity tell them how much you appreciate and love them.

It is no secret that I was not Finn's biggest fan but my heart had a ten thousand foot tall Canadian sized soft spot for Cory and its broken for him. I will not be writing Finn out of this 'verse if I continue it (not that he was a main character anyway) but it hurts too much to think about.

Rest easy big guy - and everyone - love the one you're with.

*See you all at the sequel*
