Blaine was standing at the altar, his eyes roaming over the rows of chairs in front of him. Keep breathing, deep breaths and most importantly: don't faint, Blaine kept chanting over and over in his head. He saw the New Directions, the Warblers, Burt and Carole, Cooper and his girlfriend who kept on whispering things in Cooper's ear and even Sue Sylvester was there (Kurt and Blaine had sent her an invitation as a joke, they didn't think she would really show up) and they all smiled yes, even Sue. When his eyes went back to Cooper, he saw him putting both his thumbs up before gesturing for Blaine to smile, which he did. Sam and Tina were standing next to him, both had a hand on Blaine's shoulder.

‘This is it,' Tina said excited, ‘You're getting married!'

T, dont make him nervous! Sam whispered.

‘I can't believe I'm actually doing this guys,' Blaine said, ‘It seems so unreal, like a dream.'

Sam smiled. ‘Wait a sec,' he pinched Blaine's arm, causing Blaine to curse and mutter “ow” before Sam continued, ‘See, it's not a dream!' Blaine gave Sam a “seriously?” look and turned his eyes to the crowd again. No mom, no dad, the only members of Blaine's family that were sitting in the church were his grandmother, two aunts, two uncles, 3 nephews, 2 nieces and his brother. But no parents.

Out of the corner of his eye he could see the priest approaching him. He came to stand next to Blaine, making both Tina and Sam take a step back.

This is it, Blaine thought, just a couple of minutes more and I'm married to the most beautiful man on earth. Shit, I'm nervous. Oh dear God, help me, I'm so nervous.

He looked up as if he was expecting God to really help him.

Suddenly, the woman behind the piano in the far corner of the church started playing the wedding march, indicating that Kurt was about to come in any second now. Blaine quickly lowered his gaze to the door and then the big mahogany doors opened and everyone turned around to see Mercedes and Artie standing in the middle of the doorway with Kurt hidden behind them. All three of them slowly made their way to the altar, helped Artie up on the step and then Kurt came to stand in front of Blaine.

Kurt looked absolutely stunning: his pale face and ocean blue eyes that had a sparkle in them like Blaine had never seen before, his chestnut hair perfectly coiffed as always and he could smell the vanilla shampoo Kurt always used. His designer black suit with snow white undershirt and a simple black tie. God, Blaine wanted to grab that tie and pull Kurt against his chest and kiss him senseless so bad. Blaine always thought Kurt was beautiful. From the moment they met on that staircase he knew he wanted Kurt, he wanted to hold him, kiss him, make him his.

And today he could do all of that.

Blaine looks gorgeous, Kurt thought. His slightly toned face, his hazel brown eyes, his adorable goofy hair. At first you'd think Blaine and Kurt were twins because of the suits but instead of a tie, Blaine wore a cute and casual black bowtie. This was his Blaine, his cute, funny and irresistible Blaine. Kurt always loved Blaine's skin color, Blaine always looked like he just came back from a three-week holiday to Italy while Kurt described himself as a pale, white canvas where people refused to paint on. Blaine loved to paint Kurt, using his lips and leaving hickeys in varying shades of red all over his body.

Like literally, all over.

The music stopped and the priest waited a few seconds before he started talking. ‘We are gathered here today to be a part of the start of Kurt and Blaine's new chapter in their life together,' he started, ‘Two boys who love and adore each other and who want to be together for the rest of their lives. I suggest that we begin.'

Blaine looked at Kurt and the corners of his mouth quirked up in a smile. He never thought he'd get the chance to get married, to a boy. People were still fighting against the same-sex marriage but nothing could stop them from marrying. Blaines dad was one of those people who kind of was against same-sex marriage, just the thought about two men sharing the same bed made him cringe. Blaine figured that was the real reason he didn't want to come.

‘Love is a very special thing in life. Love crosses everybody's path: black, white, man, woman... Everybody has their own experience with love. These two boys have found their one and only love in each other and want to share that with their friends and family. They want to show us that their relationship will last a lifetime. They will tell us their story of how they found their true love and what they mean to each other,' the priest said and took a step back.

Mercedes gave Kurt his sheet of paper where he had written his vows on, it was folded double twice and he held it in both hands while he saw Tina give Blaine his vows. When they were both turned to each other again Kurt looked at Blaine expectantly and Blaine unfolded his paper with shaky hands.

Blaine took a deep breath before beginning. ‘Kurt, my love, my best friend, my savior. Before you came to Dalton that one particular day, I didn't know what love was. Actually, after you left I still didn't know because it took me a couple of weeks before I realized that I actually loved you,' he chuckled, ‘You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I know that I hurt you a couple of times and hurting you was the worst thing that I've ever done but I promise you: I will never ever ever hurt you again for as long as I live. I still cant believe you said yes to me, that we're standing here but Kurt, Im so glad you said yes and I really hope youll say yes to me again today. This may sound very cliché but Kurt, baby, you're the reason the sun rises every day and without you I'd be in complete darkness. You guide me when I'm lost, you save me when I'm in trouble and you're with me when I need you. I love you. I'll always love you, cherish you, worship you and trust you, until my dying day and even after that. I am forever yours,' Blaine smiled and Kurt could see he had tears in his eyes. He folded his paper again before giving it back to Tina.

Kurt took a shaky breath and willed his own tears away. He cleared his throat before unfolding his own paper. He looked over the edge of the paper at Blaine, who smiled at him. ‘You know what? I don't need this stupid thing,' he said and gave his paper back to Mercedes. Blaine's eyes were wide when Kurt turned back to him. Kurt grabbed both of Blaine's hands, squeezed them and rubbed his thumbs over the back of them and began.

‘Blaine, honey, I've known you for 5 years now and this is just the beginning of our journey together. We've been going through a lot and I want you to know that even if we are fighting, I still love you unconditionally. Nothing or no one can stop me from loving you. Before I met you on that staircase, I was afraid of love; I was a gay kid who was being thrown into dumpsters almost every day and even tried to change himself to be more “normal” but then I met you and I transferred to Dalton because I didn't want to be bullied anymore. We spent more time together: getting coffees, talking about our favorite things... And then you told me it's okay to be different, that prejudice is just ignorance,' he saw a tear rolling down Blaine's cheek and he reached up to wipe it away, ‘You saved me, Blaine, I want you to know that.' He looked at the crowd for a moment before looking into Blaine's eyes. ‘I-I'm just going to say this, I need to spill it out. Blaine, you're like a bird without wings because your parents weren't there to learn you how to fly,' Blaine tried to swallow his tears but failed and another one travelled down his face to fall down on his jacket, ‘And I hate the fact you had no one to love you back then. But now I promise you that I'll give you my wings and I will learn you how to fly so that we can fly together; as a team. Whatever happens, I'll always be by your side and support you. I have never met a man who's as strong as you, Blaine. I love you so much and I just don't want to let you go anymore. You have your insecurities but youre perfect to me, baby. Nobody is as perfect as you and I promise that I'll always be there for you whenever you want me to and I'll never let you down. I belong to you and I want to be yours as long as you want to be mine,' Kurt had tears in his own eyes now and he squeezed Blaine's hands gently and smiled at him before letting go of his hands and nodding to the priest to let him know he was done.

The priest stepped forwards again. ‘Blaine, please repeat after me: I, Blaine Devon Anderson,' he said and waited for Blaine to repeat him.

‘I, Blaine Devon Anderson,' Blaine said with a watery voice.

‘Take you, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel,' the priest continued.

‘Take you, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel,' Blaine repeated, his voice cracking halfway and he smiled when Kurt grabbed his hands again.

‘To be my lawfully wedded husband.'

Blaine took a deep shaky breath before repeating: ‘To be my lawfully wedded husband.'

‘To have and to hold, from this day forward.'

‘To have and to hold, from this day forward,' Blaine didn't even try to stop the tears anymore and just let them freely roll down his cheeks .

‘For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,' the priest said, eyes focused on Blaine.

‘For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,' Blaine said, staring into Kurt's eyes.

‘Until death do us part,' the priest ended.

‘Until death do us part,' Blaine repeated and leaned into Kurts touch when he wiped some of his tears away.

Kurt smiled at him and turned to the priest, gave him a “bitch please” look and before the priest could even open his mouth Kurt said, gaze focused on Blaine again: ‘I, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, take you, Blaine Devon Anderson, to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.'

The priest stared at Kurt with wide eyes and both boys could hear some chuckling and laughing in the room.

‘Sorry, I just really can't wait to kiss him. I have been learning this out of my head for months,' Kurt quickly apologized which made Blaine grin even wider than before.

The priest blinked in confusion. ‘Right, okay. Can we have the rings then please?'

Kurt turned around and took the ring Artie held out for him. Artie winked at him before Kurt turned around again. ‘Blaine, with this ring I promise to always love and protect you,' he said as he slowly slid the white gold ring around Blaine's finger.

Then Blaine turned around and took the ring from Sam and looked at Kurt. His beautiful Kurt. ‘K-Kurt, oh God,' Blaine said and smiled when he heard Kurt chuckle, ‘I tried so hard not to stutter.'

‘It's okay, sweetie,' Kurt encouraged.

Blaine took a steadying breath. ‘Kurt,' he said, smiling when he heard he didn't stutter, ‘With this ring I promise to always cherish and love you.' He placed the ring around Kurt's finger and his fingers traced the form of the ring for a moment before letting go.

‘Then I now pronounce you husband and husband,' the priest said, taking a step back and before he could continue Kurt's lips were already on Blaine's. The kiss was sweet and definitely not rushed. Blaine's hand was on the back of Kurt's neck, pulling him closer into the kiss.

Kurt cupped Blaine's face and he could taste some of his tears on his lips. They heard people applauding and cheering but they didn't care. This was their moment, only theirs. They broke the kiss and panted while looking at each other. ‘Hello husband,' Kurt whispered against Blaine's lips and he felt Blaine smile against his.

Hello husband, Blaine smiled.

They turned to the crowd, held hands and smiled. Both their smiles combined could provide the whole U.S.A. of power for a couple of hours. In fact, it could provide the whole world of power! Blaine pecked Kurts cheek and then let his eyes wander over the crowd. Are those...?

My parents, Blaine whispered but because of all the noise the sound of it almost immediately got lost in the crowd.

What honey? Kurt answered, looking at Blaine a little confused and leaning in closer to him.

M-my parents, Blaine whispered again and Kurt looked in the same direction as Blaine did.  There, in the back of the church were two people standing against the door, applauding for them. The woman was smiling and Kurt thought he saw the tiniest of smiles appear on the mans face before he nudged the woman. They both turned around and left the room, the woman smiled at the two boys before walking out after her husband.

Without saying another word, Blaine took off and ran out the room, trying to meet his parents. Kurt saw all the heads in the crowd turn to the door, almost all of them were synchronized, watching Kurts husband run away. He looked around for a second before running after Blaine. But when Kurt arrived in the hall, Blaine wasnt there. Blaine, baby? he called out and then saw the door slowly being opened and Blaine came in. They left, Kurt, they just left, he said, tears springing in his eyes, ‘Why did they leave so quickly?'

‘I don't know baby,' Kurt held out his arms, inviting Blaine for a hug, ‘C'mere sweetheart.'

Blaine took a step closer and wrapped his arms around Kurt's chest, sniffling a bit and wiping his tears away before they could ruin Kurts suit. ‘That bird-thing you were talking about in there, that was really sweet. I'd love to fly together with you,' he smiled.

Kurt laughed. ‘Oh, I thought you were going to say that I turned you on.'

‘You always turn me on,' Blaine said, sad smile on his face.

Kurt kissed the top of his head, Im sorry about your parents, honey,  he murmured into the curls.

Its okay, Im glad they at least came to see the ceremony. At least, I think they saw the whole ceremony, I-I didnt see them come in at all, Blaine sniffed.

Im sure they were there from the beginning, you just didnt see them at first, Kurt said.

Youre probably right, sweetheart, Blaine said, I trust you.

And theyll probably come back for the party, Kurt smiled.

I hope so, I want to see them again, Blaine looked up at Kurt, Well, mostly mom.

Kurt looked down at his husband. I know so. Itll make this day so much better for the both of us, I know how much they mean to you.

They had their arms still wrapped around each other when Kurt suddenly exclaimed happily:  ‘Can you believe it? We're actually married!'

You can not believe how happy I am to be your husband, to wear your ring. I'm forever yours,' Blaine said.

‘And I'm forever yours,' Kurt smiled. “I'm forever yours”, that's what Blaine wanted to engrave in the rings. And because it is true, they were each others, Kurt agreed to it.

‘You know, that was a pretty lousy kiss you gave me up there,' Blaine said playfully.

‘Oh really? That's why you were almost moaning halfway through it,' Kurt smirked and pulled Blaine a little closer, ‘Guess I need to do it better then.'

‘Guess so,' Blaine leaned in and placed his lips on Kurt's, kissing him passionately and wanting his lips to tingle like they did the first time he and Kurt kissed. Suddenly Kurt pulled back and Blaine leaned forward, trying to chase Kurt's lips and with his mouth hanging slightly open and plump lips he whined: ‘Kuuuuuurt, I wasn't done kissing you yet. Gimme your sweet lips,' Blaine wanted to kiss Kurt again but Kurt turned away. ‘Kuuurtie, please?

‘We need to save it for tonight, baby and besides, you don't want anyone to catch us don't you?' Kurt said and wiped his thumb over Blaine's bottom lip. ‘I want it to be special tonight,' Kurt whispered in Blaine's ear, ‘and I love it when you're all needy and desperate for me.'

A shiver ran down Blaine's spine at the thought of tonight. ‘Baby, one small kiss?'

‘All right, because you're so cute,' Kurt silenced Blaine's little squeal by kissing him. ‘And because youre my husband,' Kurt whispered after the kiss.

They heard the door open and close behind them and Sam, Tina, Mercedes and Artie joined the two lovebirds. ‘You guys are married!' Mercedes squealed, running towards Kurt with open arms.

‘Dudes, awesome!' Sam put his hand on Blaine's shoulder, ‘When are you guys adopting Russian twin babies?'

Blaine and Kurt chuckled. They had thought about kids but they never told any of their friends that they were considering becoming parents. ‘I don't know, maybe in a year or two?' Blaine said and winked at Kurt who gasped and smiled fondly at his husband.

‘Hold up,' Artie said, raising his hand and pointing at the two boys, ‘Are you guys planning something we don't know about?'

Kurt and Blaine gave each other a look only they knew the meaning of. Maybe. Maybe they really, really wanted kids.

Arties question remained unanswered when Tina asked concerned: What happened up there, Blainey? You just ran away.

Nothing T, Blaine said, walking over to her and wrapping an arm around her waist, I just didnt want anyone to see me cry. You know, wedding stuff and all.

Are you really sure youre okay? she asked again, squinting her eyes.

Tay-tay, Im fine. this is the happiest day of my life,  Blaine answered, hugging her tight and lifting her a few inches off the ground.

She squealed and let go off the topic when Blaine put her back down.

They stayed in the hallway until all the guests left and congratulated the happy couple.

After the last woman left (she was 78 and congratulated the couple about as many times as she had celebrated her birthday) Blaine turned to Kurt. Want to go to our party? he asked.

Of course, baby, Kurt answered, dragging a grinning Blaine to the car where Burt and Carole were waiting for them.

Hey boys, Burt said when they got in the car, both sitting on the backseat and holding hands. They looked at each other lovingly and kissed. Burt made a face, still not used to the fact that his little boy was now a grown man and married but Carole just looked at them and even awwed a bit.

Hey dad, hey Carole, Kurt said, laughing, after Blaine let him go.

Ready for your party? Carole asked excited, Your first dance with each other and the gifts and the dancing, itll be wonderful.

We cant wait, Blaine answered, I cant wait to dance with Kurt, its been a pretty long time and I just want to keep dancing with him for the rest of my life.

You guys are so cute, Carole said as she turned forward again, Arent they the cutest, Burt?

Not half as cute as you two, Blaine said and leaned forward to peck Caroles cheek.

Now youre talking boy, Burt said before he saw Blaine pecking his wifes cheek, Hey! Go and smooch your husband over there! This girl is mine! Burt leaned a bit closer to Carole and grabbed her hand.

Yes sir, Blaine saluted as if he was in the army before turning to Kurt and cupping his face. Well, if your dad tells me to kiss you then Ill better do that. He kissed him, needy and wanting more but he knew Kurt would push him away because he wanted to save it for tonight.

Fuck it, Blaine wanted it all! Here and now and if Burt and Carole werent in the car right now, he wouldve undressed Kurt before the door even had the chance to close.

He swore he had never been more in love with Kurt as he was today. This was definitely the best day of his life, whether his parents were there or not. But yeah, having his parents there wouldve been a nice gift of course...
