Blaine fumbled one last time with his bowtie as he stood in front of the small event room in the zoo. He was quite nervous but tried not to show it too much as he saw so many eyes looking at him.
Wes looked right through it though as he put his hand on Blaine's shoulder, “it's going to be ok. Just take a deep breath.”
Blaine chuckled, “it will be more than ok. I don't even know where these nerves are coming from.”
Wes chuckled, “I'll tell you something I've heard in the hallway. Kurt is just as nervous as you are.”
“He is,” Blaine frowned, “He doesn't have second thoughts does he?” A bit of worry seeped through his voice as he looked at Wes with big eyes.
“No he is not,” Wes said with an eye roll, “he is doing just fine. Everyone gets nervous at their marriage.”
Blaine nodded and looked back at the door at the end of the room, willing it to go open.
He was just about to ask Wes if Kurt was late when soft music started filling the room.
The big oak door opened softly and Lizzy peeked around the corner.
She looked beautiful in her white dress and with the white flowers in her hair. She tried to walk on the music but Blaine could see how hard it was for her as she skipped a few passes until she was scooped up by Blaine.
“Hi princess, you look beautiful,” he whispered in her ear as he pressed a kiss against her cheek.
Lizzy nestled herself on his waist and they both looked expectantly towards the open door.
It didn't take long before Burt and Kurt came into view. Burt didn't look too comfortable into his suit but he looked at Kurt so proudly that Blaine was sure he didn't mind.
His eyes immediately went towards Kurt. He wore a beautiful dark blue suit with a black tie. His hair was styled to perfection and he looked absolutely breathtaking.
Lizzy seemed excited as well as she started clapping loudly for the whole place to hear. Blaine couldn't help but chuckle and Kurt started to blush a little as he shook his head a little.
When Kurt finally was in the front of the room, he said something quietly to Burt before he went to his place.
He took Blaine's outstretched hand and placed a soft kiss against Lizzy her forehead.
In front of the place stood a long chair where both of them could sit on. Lizzy took her place on her daddy's lap and nestled herself against Kurt's chest.
They had tried to make the ceremony as short as possible, knowing that Lizzy wouldn't be up for sitting still for too long.
Wes and Burt had taken care of their rings and gave it to them once it was time to speak out their vows.
Kurt was the first to speak as he opened the small black box and showed Blaine the ring he had bought, “Dear Blaine, my best friend and almost husband,” Kurt started with a giggle, “Today I promise you that I will laugh with you in times of joy, and comfort you in times of sorrow. I will share in your dreams and support you as you strive to achieve your goals. I will listen to you with compassion and understanding, and speak to you with encouragement. But most of all I promise you that whenever you need someone for whatever reason, you'll only need to look next to you because that's where you will find me.”
He took the ring out of the box and looked at the ceremony leader, “Kurt Hummel, Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in heath, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto him for as long as you both shall live?”
Kurt smiled as he said “I do” and put the ring on Blaine' outstretched hand.
Now Blaine got his box from Wes and opened it for Kurt to see. “Kurt, when we met, I felt like I needed to get to know you. And how I regretted not asking for your number even a few moments after. But when I saw you walking towards me and you asked me on a date, I felt like the luckiest person in the world. And here we are today. You are making me the luckiest man on earth right now. I want to promise you with this ring that no matter how though the road may be, I'll always be there for you. I promise you that you'll have someone to come to in the bad moments but also someone to share the good moments with. I promise you that we'll try to make the best memories and never let fear stop us from doing what we want to do. I promise you that I'll always be honest and always will try to make you smile that beautiful smile of yours. But most of all, I want to promise with this ring that I'll always love you.”
Blaine took the ring out of the box and smiled as he watched Kurt try to discretely wipe away a tear.
The ceremony leader started speaking again, “Blaine Anderson, Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in heath, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto him for as long as you both shall live?”
Blaine smiled as he said “I do” and put the ring on Kurt's outstretched hand.
“I pronounce you husbands from this moment. You may kiss each other.”
Blaine didn't need to be said twice as he leaned forward and pressed his lips softly against Kurt's while he heard Lizzy whine in the middle of them.
Kurt started to chuckle against his lips as he pressed a last peck against them before cuddling Lizzy.
He carefully lifted Lizzy so she could sit on his hip while he took Blaine's hand. They made their way through the rows before they were outside, back in the park.
Immediately they were wrapped into many hugs and heard congratulation wishes from everywhere.
When everyone seemed to have their go, they were leaded towards the tent that had been set up for their small party.
Lizzy started pointing excitedly towards the elephants who had come to take a look to what was going on.
Their photographer followed behind them, asking if they could pose for a few pictures.
Which ended in a whole lot of pictures as everyone wanted to get a picture with the new married couple.
First they took a few pictures with just the two of them (and Dumbo on the background) before they took some beautiful family pictures with their little girl.
The photographer also took some pictures of Lizzy with a small bouquet of flowers.
They ended up getting pictures with their friends as well as getting their family pics taken.
It ended up being a beautiful evening. Between their best men took their time to embarrass them to the fullest and the beautiful speech Kurt's father gave them, to their opening dance (where Lizzy totally chose to steal the show), to when they were cutting the cake.
It was after they had eaten the cake that Kurt and Blaine found themselves outside the tent, knowing that Carole would look after Lizzy, enjoying a little moment for themselves.
“So how does it feel, Kurt Hummel-Anderson,” Blaine said with a smile as they leaned against the elephant building. He carefully brushed his nose against Kurt's.
“I feel like the happiest person in the world, Blaine Hummel-Anderson,” Kurt said with a huge smile on his face as he let out a giggle.
Blaine couldn't help but joining him before he caught Kurt's lips in a deep kiss.
Blaine didn't know how long they would have together until someone would come and get them to drag them back to the party.
But for now, he let himself be happy in Kurt's embrace as they enjoyed the new feeling of being happily married under the bright stars of a beautiful night.
