Author's Notes:

I hope you enjoyed! Please let me know what you thought!

The song was Love Song by Adele.

 

"You ok son?"

Kurt looked up from where his head was in his hands to see his father in the doorway. He had been getting ready for his and Blaines wedding that would be starting soon. The wedding he had only one month to plan and looked nothing like what they had dreamed about.

"No," he shook his head, laughing humorlessly, "Im definitely not ok." He looked down again.

Burt walked into the room and sat down on the bench next to him, "Its not cold feet, is it?" He smiled.

"No, nothing like that." His voice shook a little and when he looked back at his father, his eyes were clouded with tears.

Burt placed his hand on his shoulder, concerned, "Whats going on?"

"This whole thing...this wedding, weve waited years for this day. Years, because we wanted it to be perfect. We wanted the day to be perfect, the timing to be perfect," he shook his head a little, "Our jobs were both going to be stable, Blaine was going to start speaking to his parents again so they could be here, there was just so much we were waiting for."

"Sometimes life doesnt work out the way you plan, kid." Burt said sadly.

Kurt stood up quickly and looked at his father angrily, "This isnt just a change in our plans! This is an ending to them! He deserves more than a hastily thrown together wedding!" His chin began to wobble as a few tears slid from his eyes, "No one is going to ask us when we plan to start a family. No one is going to ask us anything about a future because there isnt one! Not for us. This isnt the start of our life together, its the end of it." A sob broke from him and Burt rushed to him, pulling him into his arms as Kurt began to cry in earnest.

Burts voice was thick as he spoke to his son, "Listen to me, no one would dare to say this is fair, but these are the cards youve been dealt and today you are getting married to the man that you love. I know what is going to come soon, too soon, and I wont let you or Blaine deal with it alone, Kurt, but today is not that day." He pulled back from his son and wiped his own face where tears had fallen while Kurt did the same, "Today you are going to forget all of the bad that is surrounding you, and you are going to join your life with the boy in the other room who is more fidgety than Ive ever seen him since Ive met him."

Kurt laughed a little, sniffling.

"Kurt, Blaine loves you so much, thats all you have to remember today, ok?"

He nodded, smiling, "Thanks, dad."

Burt nodded and hugged his son tightly again for a moment, "Now get yourself together, we have a wedding to get started!"

It took another twenty minutes before Kurt gave the ok for the ceremony to begin. Though it was not their dream wedding, it was still beautiful. Kurt was lucky enough to have a friend at Vogue who had an apartment in the Brooklyn Clock Tower, and was willing to let them use it as their ceremony and reception space (of course this was because this was only one of her New York apartments). The large glass clock that acted as a window was the backdrop for where Kurt and Blaine would exchange vows, and Kurt appreciated the subtle nod to how time was something always moving and precious, especially now in his relationship with Blaine.

Because Blaines parents werent there, the answer card in the invitation returned merely with a check in the cannot attend box, it was decided that Carole would walk Kurt down the aisle and Burt would walk Blaine. Kurt would have given anything to have had his father there with him, but Blaines strength was diminishing rapidly, and though he could still walk short distances, it was decided that in case he became weak half way down the aisle, Burt would be more capable in helping him. Kurt had tried to convince him to use the wheelchair he now had for long distances, but Blaine was determined to make it himself.

The bridal party consisted of Santana, Sam, and Kyle on Blaines side and Rachel and Max on Kurts. Kurt had thought long and hard about who he wanted his third bridesmaid or groomsman to be, but every time he thought about it, there was only one person who could fill that spot: Finn. Another person who left him too soon, and he just knew he couldnt put a random friend in his bridal party when he would always wish it had been his brother.

Of course, Mollie was the flower girl, and in her frilly white dress, she did an amazing job.

They all made their way down the aisle without incident, and Kurt could already feel himself getting choked up, watching his Blaine coming towards him. His father was right, he knew Blaine was dying, he knew things would only get harder from here on out, but as he watched his fiancé walk towards him, all he could feel was immense happiness.

They were finally getting married; something he never thought they would be able to do.

When Blaine finally joined him, Kurt could tell that he was tired, could see the exhaustion behind his eyes and feel the slight sway where he held his hands tightly. Besides that, though, he could see the brightness in Blaines eyes that said everything Kurt needed to know; he was so, so happy.

"I love you." Blaine blurted out and Kurt could hear their family and friends laughing in the back round, but he only had eyes for Blaine.

"I love you too."

The ceremony began, and soon it was time for Kurts vows.

He looked into Blaines eyes and spoke only to him, "Growing up in Ohio, I never felt like I belonged. There were always people telling me I was wrong; that what I felt was unnatural and something to be punished. There were times when I didnt think I could keep going, but then you were there. You were like a light when everything was dark, and I know that I wouldnt have made it without you. As time has gone on, things have gotten easier, but the major constant in my life, making the hard times better, has always been you. I love you more than anything, Blaine, and nothing will ever change that. I will spend whatever time we have together showing you again and again just how much you mean to me.

Kurt smiled as he reached up and wiped Blaines face where some tears had fallen. Blaine sniffled a little and took a deep breath before beginning his vows.

"Well Im not sure why we decided you would get to go first, just so Id have to do this while crying." Everyone in attendance laughed, Blaine looked up into his eyes, "Kurt, I knew you were someone I needed in my life from the moment I met you. Youve always had an energy about you that pulled me towards you, and since we began dating I have been wondering how I have been so lucky to call you mine." Blaine looked down as a few tears began to fall, when he looked back up, his face was sad, "Weve always said we were soul mates, that we were meant to be together and would have found each other through any circumstances, and while I know thats true, I couldnt help but be so sad because of it. I get to spend the rest of my life with my soul mate, but you only have this brief time with yours. It took me a long time to realize, though, that even though I wont be here for a very long time, being soul mates transcends the physical. You will never be without me and I will love you for this moment and for every moment to come. I love you more than words can describe, and I am eternally grateful for you."

While almost everyone was at various stages of awed sadness, Kurt and Blaine both had tears falling down their faces. Kurt leaned forward and pulled Blaine into a hug, and they whispered I love yous into each others ears.

When Kurt pulled back, he could feel tremors running through Blaines body, saw how Blaine was holding onto his arms just a little tighter than he generally would. He stared into Blaines eyes and saw the fatigue from standing for so long.

"Do you need to sit?"

"No…no, Im fine." Blaine smiled a little, though it was pain-filled.

Kurt placed his hand against Blaines cheek, "Dont hurt yourself. It doesnt mean youre weak if you have to sit."

Blaine looked at him a moment longer and nodded. Kurt looked past him and over to Santana and she moved to get Blaines wheelchair where it was against the wall in case of a situation like this. Kurt gently helped Blaine sit, and then they joined hands once again, looking to the officiate to continue the ceremony.

I dos and rings were exchanged, and before too long, Mr. and Mr. Anderson-Hummel were pronounced husbands. While pictures were being taken, the apartment was transformed into the reception space. Dinner was served and eaten, and then the real party began.

Blaine was able to stand long enough for his and Kurts first dance as husbands, Come What May being the obvious choice for their first song, but then he allowed Kurt to force him back into his wheelchair.

Kurt danced with Rachel, but they were mostly laughing at Sam, quite literally, spinning Blaine around on the dance floor.

Sams girlfriend, Jackie (who was neither an ice-skater or a gymnast, but actually a ballet dancer, as Santana had found out at the rehearsal dinner the night before while she was drunkenly hitting on the girl) was showing Mollie how to do pirouettes and twirls. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and though the overall party may have had a somber overhang, the atmosphere was ultimately celebratory.

After a while, the DJ asked the guests to return to their seats so that the speeches could begin. Burt was asked to go first.

"Wow, you boys sure do know a lot of people!" He smiled at the laughs he received, "Now, Im not one for big speeches, but I just want you both to know how proud I am of you. I have watched you both grow into good men and I have seen the love that you share for each other. Blaine, I have thought of you as a son for years now, and I am happy that it is finally official. And Kurt," He smiled at his son, "I am so proud of who you have become and I know your mom wouldve felt the same, and she wouldve loved Blaine." Kurt laughed a little, tears in his eyes, Burt raised his glass, "I love you both and wish you both as much happiness as possible!"

Cheers were shouted and champagne drank, and then Rachel was grabbing the microphone.

"Hey guys, oh my God, Im already crying!" She laughed a little, fanning at her eyes, "Kurt, Blaine, weve been through a lot these past years; love, loss, successes, and failures, but through it all, you two have gone strong and gotten us all through the good and bad times. Your love has always been so strong, and even during the hard times, there has never been a doubt in my mind that this day would come. Your love is one of fairytales and fate, one that I can only hope to experience one day…" She looked away as a tear fell, it was obvious to those who had known Rachel for a substantial amount of time that Finn had been her fairytale romance. "Anyway," She smiled at them, "You are both brothers and best friends to me and I couldnt ask for better ones. This wedding has been beautiful, just like your love." She raised her class, a distinct gagging sound coming from Santana heard over the cheers and applause.

Sam was the next one up, "Hey, everyone! Im Sam, umm, Blaines best friend from high school and guilty pleasure crush." Blaine stared at him slack jawed while Kurt just laughed and put his arm around Blaine, "But to be fair, Kurt had a pretty huge crush on me first, so I guess Im like first in line for any threesomes."

"Oh my God!"

"Sam!"

Kurt and Blaine both yelled out, though the rest of the guests were cracking up.

"Anyway," He continued, laughing, "I am really happy for you guys. Youve both been great friends to me, and Im so happy that I met you. Happy wedding, and all of that, and I love you guys!"

When Santana took the microphone, people were still laughing, "Well I really dont think I could top Trouty Mouths speech, and anyway I prepared something else for you two, so if you could come out to the dance floor, Blaine I know youre taking a break in that chair, or whatever, but I need you standing." Kurt and Blaine looked at each other warily, but got up and Kurt helped Blaine out to stand in front of Santana. "So I know this is more Berrys thing and you were both expecting me to tell multiple embarrassing stories about all the times Ive walked in on you having sex," Kurt and Blaines faces were bright red as they stared at her, "However, we all know I love Blaine and secretly Kurt, however I will never admit it again, and so I prepared a song. Also, I knew you were going to choose that terrible one, so I thought Id save this thing."

To the surprise of almost everyone in the room, as music began to play, Santana said, "You two are everything good in this world," before beginning to sing:

Whenever Im alone with you,

You make me feel like I am home again.

Whenever Im alone with you,

You make me feel like I am whole again.


Whenever Im alone with you,

You make me feel like I am young again.

Whenever Im alone with you,

You make me feel like I am fun again.


As she sang, Kurt and Blaine began to dance. Blaine rested his head on Kurts shoulder and Kurt rested his on the side of Blaines head. They swayed to the song, the words sinking into them, meaning so much.

 

However far away, I will always love you.

However long I stay, I will always love you.

Whatever words I say, I will always love you.

I will always love you.


Whenever Im alone with you,

You make me feel like I am free again.

Whenever Im alone with you,

You make me feel like I am clean again.


The rest of the guests made their way out onto the dance floor and filled the empty areas, however Kurt and Blaine were lost to each other and in this moment.

 

However far away, I will always love you.

However long I stay, I will always love you.

However far away, I will always love you.


However long I stay, I will always love you.

Whatever words I say, I will always love you.

Ill always love you. Ill always love you.

Cause I love you.


When she was done, while everyone clapped, Santana handed off the microphone and walked over to Kurt and Blaine, squeezing them both in a tight hug and whispering her love to them.

After the speeches were over, the party continued and eventually Kurt and Blaine neatly fed each other cake. When the end of the reception came and mostly everyone had left, Kurt found Blaine sitting on one of the couches in front of a window, staring out into the city, Mollie dead asleep in his lap.

"Hey." Kurt whispered.

Blaine looked up and smiled at his husband, "Hey."

Kurt sat down and put his arm around him, Blaine rested his head on Kurts shoulder, "Did you have a good time?"

Blaine nodded, "It was wonderful, Kurt, you did an amazing job, everything looked beautiful."

Kurt kissed his head, the top hat he had worn all day now resting on the couch besides him, "Im glad."

Blaine placed the hand not holding Mollie on Kurts leg and squeezed a little, "I love you, you know?"

He laughed a little, "Yes, well, I was hoping you did after the whole wedding thing."

He smiled, "Well Im just telling you again."

Kurt placed his hand over Blaines, "I will never get tired of you telling me."

"Ill tell you for as long as I can."
