Chapter 92 - Wedding Bells

Wedding

"There are a lot of people here mom." Blaine said nervously. He was fidgeting with his sleeve. "Do you think this was the right choice?"

"Blaine, you look perfect. Don't worry. Everyone is here for you and Kurt. This is wonderful. A lot of your grandfather's football players are here too. It's like a red carpet at one of those movie showings." Catherine laughed as she adjusted Blaine's bowtie. "Now you're ready."

"Is it a zoo?"

"There are a lot of paparazzi, but I don't think we need to worry. Between your grandmother and Burt's security checking everyone walking in the door, no one will get in here that isn't invited." Catherine was very unconcerned, but she was right. Because of the people that Burt invited, there was reason to make sure there was security detail there. There were too many congressmen and political figures there to not hire security.

"How much longer?"

Catherine laughed. "Blaine, you would think that this is your first time getting married." She winked at him.

Blaine finally laughed. "I know. I guess twice in one week is giving me the jitters."

Catherine stood right in front of Blaine with her hands on his shoulders. "This is your public. You'll know exactly how to act and how to be. Either way, they're here for you guys. Or they're here for political gain. One way or the other, they'll be on their best behavior too."

"It's crazy dad. All the people." Kurt looked out the window at all of the people being escorted in. That's Mayor Corbin!" Kurt was nervous and excited all at once. Everything was going as planned. The flowers were cascading the music was playing, the linens were the perfect color and all seven hundred some odd guests were getting seated.

"Of course it is. Don and I are on the same side Kurt. He'd want to be here to support me."

"Are you happy for me, dad?" Kurt wondered.

"Kurt, you're my son. I know that Blaine is the guy for you." Burt searched Kurt's face for a reason this was coming up now.

"But, I'm barely just graduated."

"Blaine's your guy. If you asked me two years ago, I would have said no way is Kurt going to settle down any time soon. Today, I know you're going to have a happy life. That's what happens when you meet the right person Kurt. You met the right person. You may be young, but I'm sure that you're perfect for each other." Burt knew that it was the normal questioning that happened as a teenager. They were both young, but he knew deep down that Blaine and Kurt would make it. They were especially well matched. Soul mates could even be used to describe them.

Kurt smiled. "I just wanted to make sure that you were okay with all of this."

"I would have said something a few days ago if I wasn't. Don't you think?"

"Yeah. I guess."

"Kurt, I'm proud of you. I love you and Blaine. You guys are going to make it." Burt showed confidence in his words. "Now go and get married again."

The walk across the field seemed so long. Kurt was so very excited and obviously nervous. There were a lot of people he hadn't met before and there were celebrities, so to speak, but the real reason he was this nervous was Blaine. He hadn't seen Blaine since last night when they both said goodnight and Blaine went to stay at his grandparent's house. Finn stayed with him in the honeymoon suite on the pull out sofa bed. The wedding wasn't until late afternoon and Kurt was jumping out of his skin. He hadn't gone this long without seeing Blaine in a long time. Blaine would know how to calm him.

"You're going to see him in a few second's kiddo." His dad has his hand on his shoulder. Kurt wondered how his dad knew that he was anxious to see his husband, but if there was anyone that would know him second best, it would be his dad.

"I know. I feel like I haven't seen him in forever."

"It's not even been twenty-four hours Kurt." Burt laughed out.

"You know how empty I feel without him dad. I can't even describe it."

Burt knows. Two halves make a whole. "It's fine son. See, we're almost there." He points to the edge of the tent that he knows he'll be walking down with Kurt. Carole is already there waiting.

"She looks great, dad."

"She sure does." Burt smiled at her.

The tent was completely full of people. Full was an understatement, bursting at the seams fit the description much better. There were people everywhere. Not an empty seat in the place. It was really amazon. Kurt became even more nervous and decided he needed to focus on the décor. The colors were perfect, the bows on the chairs were exactly as he imagined them, and the runners were placed in exactly the right spots. It seemed unlikely for it to be this perfect, but it was. Even more so, when he reached the end of the runner. The red runner that he was to walk down to meet the blue runner that Blaine was walking down until the two colors met at the center aisle was as they discussed. The same center aisle that they'll walk down again when they're married. Kurt's eyes wandered to the other end of the tent that seemed so close, yet so far away. Blaine caught his eye. Beautiful Blaine. He looked amazing and Kurt could barely stand it. Blaine made him weak in the knees with how perfect he looked. He hoped he could come close to Blaine's beauty.

The wedding party was lined up down the center getting ready to walk down the aisle and they would soon not be able to see each other. Blaine took his hand to his heart and smiled brightly at Kurt. The music started.

Kurt and Blaine chose less traditional music because, frankly, they weren't a traditional meeting in any sense. They were gay teens that lived together their senior year, just graduated a few weeks ago, were getting married, planned to live in a Park Avenue condominium and would start college in a few short months. Their entire relationship screamed non-traditional. The wedding party walked down the aisle to Celine Dion's, 'Because You Loved Me'. Blaine and Kurt spent a lot of time making sure that the music was contemporary, to fit them.

Kurt couldn't see as the bridal party made their way down the center aisle. Everyone made it. Finn walked with Rachel, Puck with Quinn, Wes with Mercedes, David and Santana, Jeff and Brittany made their way down the aisle. Puck and Rachel made their way to Kurt's side and Finn and Wes to David's. Kurt took a deep breath as he knew it their turn. Blaine would walk first. He heard the music start.

Blaine started to walk toward him, but Kurt knew it was just for a moment until he turned down the center aisle.

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
but bear this mind it was meant to be
and I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
and it all makes sense to me

Blaine smiled with a twinkle in his eye. It melted Kurt's heart and then he turned to walk down the center toward where Jack stood waiting for them.

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile,
you've never loved your stomach or your thighs
the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

Kurt chuckled a little listening to the words and what must be going through Blaine's mind at the words too. When they picked it, they couldn't believe how appropriate the song was for them.

I won't let this little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

Kurt started to walk down the aisle with Carole on one side and Burt on the other. Kurt held Carole's hand instead of just escorting him. He needed her motherly support right now.

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
and all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
though it makes no sense to me

Kurt turned to walk down the center and he wasn't prepared for what was ahead of him. It was a corridor of people. So many people. So many people standing. Blaine had just made it to Jack and Kurt waited at the end of the aisle for Blaine to turn to him. He wanted to see Blaine's face. The face that he would wake up to every day for the rest of his life. Blaine finally turned and smiled brightly at him. Kurt smiled back just has happily.

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
you never want to know how much you weigh
you still have to squeeze into your jeans
but you're perfect to me

I won't let this little things slips out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

Kurt finally got to the end. He hugged his dad tightly whispering a sweet, "I love you, dad" before turning to Carole and receiving a kiss on the lips. "Thank you, Carole." Kurt could see the tears of happiness in her eyes. She just nodded to him and smiled.

You never love yourself half as much as I love you
you'll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to
if I let you know, I'm here for you
maybe you'll love yourself like I love you oh

Burt shook Blaine's hand and hugged him gently. Carole kissed him on the cheek briefly before taking their seats. Kurt and Blaine looked at each other for just a few seconds before Blaine finally took Kurt's hand, entwining their fingers together. The perfect fit.

I've just let these little things slips out of my mouth
because it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you, and all your little things.

They turned to their best men both receiving nods of approval from their best friends. Then finally, turned to Jack.

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
but if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you, and all your little things.

Jack began, "Friends, family, loved ones and honored guests, we have come here today to celebrate love. It is with thoughtfulness and a deep realization of their commitment to each other that Kurt and Blaine have chosen to stand before you to make this declaration of love and loyalty. As we gather to share this most important moment in their lives, let us surround them with our love and best wishes for their wedding day and their journey in their new life together." Jack advised the attendees, "You may sit."

"I feel very proud today because my grandson, Blaine Anderson and his partner and soon to be husband, Kurt Hummel asked me to marry them. I couldn't have had a more proud day in my life. They asked me. Of all the people in the world that could do this for them, they wanted me to do it." Jack looked at both of them. "Then I had to promise that I would make it good." Both Blaine and Kurt chuckled as did many of the attendees.

"Here goes nothing. Kurt and Blaine, you have chosen to be married and this ceremony serves to symbolize the magic of two hearts joining as one. It represents two people in love. It speaks of passion and fire, of hearth and home, and creates a new light and space within which you both will live."

"This light burns bright and hot much like a flame, and is imbued with a unique spirit which characterizes both of you, and when fused together shines twice as bright. May the eternal flame of your love continue to burn brightly for as long as you both shall live."

"This wedding ceremony is, by your intent, both a celebration of your love for each other and an exchange of commitments to each other. You two are a perfect pairing witnessed not only by my eyes, but all the people that have gathered here to celebrate it. You complement each other and I know that your life together will be so much more fruitful than apart. I know that with the love you have for each other, everything is possible. The sky is the limit. Seize it together."

"Kurt and Blaine have chosen to create their own vows that they will now share with you. Blaine has chosen to go first." He nodded to Blaine.

Blaine stuttered the first word before choking a little as he said the words. "I-I am so proud to stand here with you today, Kurt. Against all odds, we found each other. The world has never been brighter for me than today as I pledge my love to you. I'm so happy that I can have all of these witnesses of our love here, today. The support I see around us is amazing and I hope that someday, many more will follow in our footsteps. Kurt, you are my best friend, the air I breathe, the beating of my heart. I know that our love is the kind that will last forever. Before all of our friends and family, I give you my promise of love forever, respect forever and me forever."

Kurt had tears rolling gracefully down his cheeks. You could tell that he was trying to hold back the emotion that came with listening to his beloved. They both changed it up from their 'real' wedding, but the new vows were just as good. "I love you with all my being. Standing with you here today is monumental. The people that gathered here today to witness our wedding get to see something special. Not just because it's two men. They get to see what true love is today. They get to witness the pure love that we share with each other. Blaine, you pick me up when I'm down, you hold me up when I think I might fall, and you're my rock. You give me the strength to be anything I want to be and you give without ever asking in return. I love you so much. I hope that we get a million lifetimes together because I know that one will never be enough for me." There were tears among their friends and Puck was weeping like a baby.

"The rings?" Jack requested. Finn reached into his pocket for one and Puck for the other as they both handed them to Jack. He handed one to each of them. "Blaine, repeat after me. Kurt, take this ring as a symbol of our love. I promise to be faithful for you and take care of you in sickness and in health." Blaine repeated and put the ring on Kurt's finger.

"Kurt, your turn son." Jack winked as they repeated the same words. When they were finished, Jack finally responded, "That's it boys, you can now kiss."

Blaine grinned widely before leaning forward, grabbing Kurt by the back of his neck and kissing him. Kurt's arms wrapped around Blaine's upper back as he opened his mouth. They had already decided that they wouldn't seal with a silly peck on the lips like a lot of couples. They went for it tongues and all.

Jack finalized the entire ceremony. "I have the pleasure of introducing you to the newly married couple. Please welcome Kurt and Blaine Hummel-Anderson to the world of marriage." Everyone clapped and a few had tears in their eyes. Finn and Puck catcalled all the way down the aisle behind them while Blaine and Kurt smiled at each other and blushed to the hairline.

Kurt took Blaine's hand as they began to walk forward down the aisle to the back of the tent.

Cocktail Hour

"Stand facing each other and then look at me."

Blaine and Kurt were smiling at the camera and smiling. With scrunched smiles, Blaine was talking. "I hope we're almost done. My cheeks hurt and I'm hungry."

Kurt kissed Blaine when the photographer said to take a second. "Poor baby."

"This is the last one."

Blaine said loudly, "Thank God. I'm starving."

"I need the entire wedding party with parents and grandparents up here. The sun sets right here and it's almost perfect. Then you can eat." The photographer said happily.

"I'm starving too." Burt chimed in.

"I need a drink." Jack added.

"Me too." JR agreed.

"I'll drink to that." Burt responded.

"Me too." Finn yelled.

"NO!" Burt, Carol, JR, Catherine, Jack and Ellen all said immediately. The entire wedding party laughed.

"But-"

"NO!" They all repeated.

"Champagne?" Finn was reaching.

"Okay, everyone look at me and smile." The photographer snapped a few photos. He took a look at his screen. "I think we've got it."

"Okay, let's get Finn down there to eat." Jack led the way back to the end zone where the cocktail hour was happening. "We need to welcome our guests. Blaine and Kurt, don't worry about people you don't know. They know you don't know them, just be gracious. They wanted to be here for you."

"How were the paparazzi?" Kurt questioned.

"It wasn't too bad." Burt responded. "Everyone had to come through metal detectors." Burt added very nonchalantly.

"I didn't' know we were going to have metal detectors set up." Kurt responded.

"There are some very high up congressman that I invited. The Chairman of the Committee for Education and Workforce and the Chairmen for Energy and Natural Resources. There are also a few subcommittee members. Oh yeah, the Mayor of New York City." Burt was rattling off a few people.

Jack cut in as well. "There are also a few famous football players out there today and some NFL head office people."

Blaine and Kurt would mingle there for about forty-five minutes until the event coordinator got them for the receiving line into the dining area. They entered the cocktail hour tent and were immediately swarmed by people. There were well-wishers and people introducing themselves. Kurt felt like this was the test of a lifetime and on his wedding day. "It's make or break."

Blaine scoffed. "Shut up. You're Kurt Hummel. You can handle anything."

"Nope." Kurt responded to a confused Blaine. "I'm Kurt Hummel-Anderson and I can handle anything."

Kurt successfully met the Mayor of Boston and New York City, a few senators and representatives that his dad invited and then came the football players from the team. "It's been a while. So nice to see you and to meet your wife." Kurt responded to the players that came during football season to talk to the team. He couldn't remember their names exactly, but didn't want to tell them.

"You've got quite a party here, Kurt." Rob said.

"I just want everyone to have fun. It's a celebration." Kurt smiled innocently and happily.

Kurt and Blaine made their way around the tent and finally stopped by the hors d'oeuvres table to eat some. Blaine shoveled some crackers with shrimp salad on them and then some cheese. With his mouth full, "I was starving."

"Honey, don't talk while your chewing it's not polite." Kurt took a napkin and started to dab at Blaine's mouth. "It's almost time for us to head up to the dining area anyway. That's where the real food is."

"I know, but I'm dying now. I didn't realize I was starving until I took a bite of something." Blaine grabbed another cracker but this one had some crab thing on it. "MMmm. This is really good." He grabbed another one and held it to Kurt's mouth. "Taste this."

Kurt smiled and opened his mouth for Blaine. Blaine put it gently on his tongue. Kurt drew it in and chewed daintily. "That is really good." Blaine took another piece of food and fed it to Kurt. They were happy. It was like they were alone in the tent. "I'm really glad everything's going okay."

"Yeah. Me too."

"Mr.'s Hummel-Anderson? It's time." The event coordinator advised them dinner was ready to be served to the guests. "Let's get you and your parent's up there before we escort everyone else inside." She gathered up all the parents and grandparents and headed to the dining area that was higher up and overlooked the entire stadium. The sun had set and it was dark. There were only minimal stadium light on to light up the field just a little.

"One more course closer to the Honeymoon Suite." Blaine whispered.

Dinner Reception

They found the room lit dimly with twinkle lights everywhere. It looked like the night sky. Candles were lit on the tables. The dance floor had some additional overhead lights and the food stations were well lit. Blaine and Kurt stood at the entrance to greet everyone into the dinner room. They greeted every single one of the seven hundred some odd guests. When they got to their table, the food was brought straight to them. "I'm so glad we got to eat some food out there. If we didn't, the hour to get everyone in here would have ended up with me eating people's hands right after I shook them." Blaine admitted.

They were just about ready to eat when it started. The clinking noise that was unmistakably a spoon to a water glass. The noise that grew in sound by being multiplied with others joining in. Blaine looked at Kurt a little sad the food was right there in front of him, but was immediately happy to kiss his husband and dig into his food. That's what he did. Blaine kissed Kurt to get the noise to stop and turned to his food to take his first bite of prime rib. "Are you happy?" Kurt asked when he saw Blaine's face now that the food was in his mouth.

"My tummy is happy." Blaine smiled with a mouthful of food.

"A happy tummy is a happy Blainey. I just want you to be happy." Kurt said sweetly.

"I am. You make me happy."

Kurt kissed him this time. He didn't care that Blaine was still trying to swallow his food. "I love you so much, Blaine."

"And I love you." They shared a quiet moment before they noticed Finn Standing up and clinking the side of his glass. Thank God the parents decided to let the entire wedding party have one glass of champagne.

"I would like to say a few words in toast to the happy couple." The room grew quiet as everyone stopped to hear the toast. "When I sat down to really think about this toast, I didn't know what to say." He looked at Blaine and Kurt. "That didn't come out right. What I mean is there's so much to say. How do you toast the couple that everyone looks up to? The couple that is the epitome of perfect. I started to really think about it and decided all I needed to say was one word. Beautiful. Kurt and Blaine make the world a more beautiful place, they're a beautiful couple, with beautiful dreams and will start a new life together. I am so proud to be Kurt's brother and now Blaine's. I don't need to welcome Blaine to our family, because he was and always will be family to me. I wish you the best that life has to offer. Both of you deserve the best. Join me in toasting the beautiful couple. May you have a long and beautiful life together." Finn raised his champagne glass along with the rest of the table.

Everyone toasted and sat back down until a moment later, Rachel rose from her side of the table. "May I have everyone's attention?" She clinked her glass. "I would like to propose a toast to the happy couple. I am so proud of my friend, Kurt. He met Blaine when our glee club male members ignored him." She emphasized the ignored part. "It was fate really, because had they listened to him, they wouldn't have sent him to Dalton to check out the competition. If he didn't go to Dalton, Blaine wouldn't be here with Kurt today. Fate played a hand in this marriage and I believe in this couple. I believe that what they have will be greatness that everyone will look up to. I know I do." Rachael started to cry in the fake, but real kind of way. "I love you both so much and I can't wait to see the greatness you both achieve. I feel so lucky to know both of you and I wish you both the greatest success in life."

She held her glass up. Kurt and Blaine looked at each other with that knowing look. Rachel held the rights on overacting, but they loved her anyway. Even if it was overdone, they knew she meant what she said. After the toast was finished, the clinking of glasses started quietly, but then grew until Blaine and Kurt smiled and kissed each other again. They were in their seats at the head table with all eyes on them. "I hope they eventually let that go."

Just then the table with football players started it up again. Blaine and Kurt both blushed after they kissed again and the table started high fiving each other and whooping. They were having fun and that was what they wanted people to remember. People milled around and got more food. The cake was rolled out from the back to be set up as dessert. Dinner was finally winding down as Kurt and Blaine took to the tables. They tried to separate so that they could greet and thank people more quickly. As they were advised by the event planner, some people will leave right after dinner. They wanted to make sure no one left without heartfelt thanks.

The DJ came on the microphone. "I would like the happy couple to please make their way to the center of the dance floor. Blaine and Kurt, we want to see you here front and center." He waited as they both made it to the edge of the dance floor at the same time, clasping the familiar hands. "It's time for the wedding dance. I present to you Kurt and Blaine Anderson-Hummel." They looked at the crowd of people still well over five hundred strong. "Blaine picked out the song for their wedding dance, so please enjoy."

"What song is it?" Kurt knew that they had so many songs that meant a lot to them. He couldn't even begin to pick one, so he made Blaine do it.

"It's a new song, but I picked this song for you. I heard it on YouTube one day. It's a bit unknown, but I love the words. You may have heard it before, but you really need to listen to the words."

Let's go back to the day
When I saw your face
For the very first time

"Do you remember seeing me the first time? I can't believe how blind I was when I first met you. I think somehow in the back of my mind, I knew. I knew you were the one." Kurt kissed him.

Let's go back again
When I held your hand
And stared into your eyes

Blaine's fingers played with the hair at Kurt's nape as he stared into his eyes, not wanting to look away for even a second. Kurt's eyes closed briefly at the feeling of Blaine's fingers in his hair.

'Cause I knew you were the one
With you my life has just begun
Baby you can count on me

Kurt laid his head into the crook of Blaine's neck breathing in his husband. He was everything Kurt ever dreamed of.

'Cause your heart is in my hands
'Cause your heart is in my hands
Ooh whoa yeah

"I love you Kurt. I'll always take care of your heart." Blaine promised nuzzling Kurt's head with his nose.

Let's go back in time
Always knew that you were mine
And I'm never gonna find someone
As beautiful as you babe

"I always knew Blaine. I knew from the moment our fingertips touched. I knew I wanted you, but I would never push you. If we ended up as friends I would have been happy just to have you in my life." Kurt whispered as he lifted his head. "I'm happier that I got you as my husband, but I would have accepted it if we stayed friends."

Got my hands right on your waist
Look in your eyes, kiss your lips
Touch up on your face
I can't forget the way
I feel your smile

Blaine held Kurt's waist just a bit tighter as their faces met. They breathed the same air in that moment before they kissed ever so softly and sweetly. It was like the promise of the sweetness to come. You could hear some of the guests awing and oohing at them. When Blaine's eyes opened, he saw the tears rolling gently down Kurt's face. His hands found their way to Kurt's face, cupping his cheeks and swiping the tears away with his thumbs. Kurt smiled at him in a way that Blaine knew was just for him. Blaine knew that he held Kurt's heart just as much as Kurt held his.

'Cause I knew you were the one
With you my life has just begun
Baby you can count on me

"We were never just friends. It was always more. Trust me on this one." Blaine asked.

'Cause your heart is in my hands
[Your heart is in my hands]
'Cause your heart is in my hands
Ooh whoa yeah

"The song was perfect for us." Kurt whispered and then kissed Blaine before they held hands and turned to walk back toward their table.

"Don't go anywhere boys." The DJ cut in. They stood there waiting. "We'd like to have Carole and Catherine up here for a mother and son dance." They smiled graciously as the two made their way to the dance floor.

The music started as the boys each led them to the floor. Blaine and Catherine danced sweetly, his mother a little shorter than him. It was oppositely sweet because Kurt and Carole were that much taller. "I'm so proud of you Blaine. You're making your way."

"Thanks mom. I try to do what's right. I want to succeed and do something good in life." Blaine smiled at her. "Kurt opened my eyes to life in a way. I think I was content to hide away at Dalton. His returning to McKinley and facing the fears he ran from gave me incentive to really look at myself. I'm going to become a lawyer or politician. I want to help make a change in the world someday."

"Honey, I know you can achieve anything you put your heart and hard work into. Kurt's one of the things you gained by your drive you know. We would never have agreed to let you buy a house and move schools, but we saw the difference in you. We knew you changed for the better. You're stronger and brave."

"Not like before."

"You were always brave. You just needed a nudge to remind you how strong you could be." She glanced at Kurt. "Who knew that he would be the one to give you the courage to be who you want to be? What a treat it will be for your dad and me to watch the two of you grow."

"Thanks mom."

"Thank you. That young man over there is the best thing that ever happened to you. You hold on to him."

Blaine looked at Kurt over his shoulder. Kurt glanced his direction at the same exact time and they both flashed a smiled to each other. It was like they knew. They needed to connect in that moment. Kurt's blues and Blaine's hazels drew each other out. They look for each other.

"It suits you, you know." Carole said.

"What does?" Kurt asked as they danced slowly around the floor.

"The smile. The happiness. All of it." Carole said knowingly. "You're going to be okay Kurt. I know you will."

"Thanks mom." Kurt rarely ever called her that, but it seemed fitting in this moment. "Is it okay if I call you that?" Kurt wondered. "I mean, you're married to my dad. I already refer to Finn as my brother. I think my mom would have been happy that you replaced her."

"Oh Kurt, I never replaced her. I will always be Burt's second love. I will always thank her for letting me have him for this time."

"He's happy with you."

"Just like you're happy with Blaine. And, you can call me mom if you feel comfortable. I love to hear you call me that, but I'll understand either way Kurt." Carole was a good woman and so understanding. She was perfect for his dad.

"I like calling you mom. It feels more right every day."

"Well then that's settled." She kissed his cheek. "Kurt, I only ever wanted you to be happy because when you first set me and your dad up, you were pretending to be happy. Now? Now I know you're happy. Blaine did that for you. He made you happy and strong and full of life. That's made me and your dad so happy."

Kurt smiled and glanced over the Blaine who in that moment met his gaze. He was lost in the golden eyes that spoke to him. The eyes that always showed how much he loved Kurt. Kurt knew he could get lost in them forever and he wanted that. "I'm happy and I feel stronger just knowing that he supports me and accepts me for who I am. Blaine was my savior."

"I suspect you were his too."

"I guess." Kurt ducked his head and shrugged.

"I know you were. Blaine, before you two were together, was not this Blaine. He's so full of life too. It was meant to be. I truly believe that."

"I do too." Kurt smiled at her.

"The Warblers and the New Directions would like to dedicate a song to our good friends Kurt and Blaine." Wes said into the mic. "I would like to say that I take all credit in this couple getting together." All of the Warblers started to nudge him and push him saying 'no', 'no way', etc.. "Fine. So they probably would have gotten together without my help. Everyone knew that they were smitten before they even knew it."

Finn stepped up to continue the speech. "So we want to dedicate a song to my brother and new brother in law. We are so proud to be here to share this day with you." Finn stepped back and pointed to the Warblers who started the backup music. It ended up being a mashup of Teenage Dream, their song and Just the Way You are. It was brilliant and brought tears to both of their eyes.

Blaine and Kurt sat smiling at the head table as they kissed softly. They promised their friends that they didn't have to sing for the wedding. They kept their promise. They were singing for them because they wanted to. The song was over, so Blaine and Kurt got up to thank them all. The music started to play and instead of being able to thank them for the song, the dance floor filled almost instantaneously with people.

They opted to mingle and talk to the guests more. They ran into Ethan. "Hey!" Kurt smiled and hugged him before Blaine leaned in to give him a quick hug. "How are you, Ethan?"

"I'm good. This is quite a party you have going on, not the mention the plane ride here. I had no idea the Warblers would be in a private jet." His eyes were wide with wonder. "And then all this." He nodded his head toward all the dignitaries and sport legends. "These are like famous people."

"Don't be intimidated." Kurt responded. "They're busy with their own agendas. We don't know most of them either." Kurt glanced around, "Did you bring Connor?"

"No, he went home for the summer, but we're still talking. He lives in Pennsylvania and wasn't able to come. I did ask him though."

"So still together?"

"Kind of. I kind of wanted to date around a little. I met some other guys and I kind of started to like one of them and Connor knew it. He was great about it though. He knew I needed to test the waters and see what else is out there."

Kurt nodded. "You're only going to be a sophomore. You'll have fun meeting new people. Just, whatever you do, be safe. Okay?"

"Promise." Ethan glanced around the room. "I think I'm going to dance a little. You guys need to dance too."

"We were just heading there." Kurt grabbed Blaine as they headed to where the Warblers and New Directions were dancing as big huge group. They hugged everyone and danced and kissed their friends.

"I need something to drink. I'm thirsty." Kurt said.

"Let's go back to the table." The only thing left at the table was water which they completely downed and then downed their champagne glasses which were also left.

Just as they were going to sit, the event coordinator appeared. "It's time for the cake boys."

The waiter refilled their champagne glasses as they stood and were led to the cake table. The DJ stopped the music and directed everyone to the cake table where they were standing with the photographer taking pictures. They held the knife together and pressed down into the fondant and then cake making a clean cut. "Now the happy couple will do the honors of feeding each other the first piece."

Blaine had a mischievous smile on his face and Kurt knew that smile. Blaine was going to smash it. "Don't you dare, Blaine."

He put his innocent face on. "I wouldn't think of it, my husband." He sung the words further proving that he was going to do it.

"You'll regret it Anderson." Kurt retorted.

"That's Hummel-Anderson thank you very much." Blaine remarked back.

Their friends started chanting 'do it, do it' and that seemed to be egging Blaine on. They both held up their cake pieces and the clapping got louder with so many more people gathering around to see what would happen. Burt and his friends from Congress were on one side with the football players on the side with all Blaine and Kurt's friends chanting. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the dilemma in front of them.

Kurt made the decision first and shoved it right into Blaine's upper lip and then smearing it toward his cheek. He laughed loudly as Blaine stood there in dismay, knowing he lost because Kurt beat him to it. It didn't stop him from grabbing Kurt around the shoulders and with his hand smashing it into Kurt's mouth and on his chin. "Blaine!" Kurt shrieked as he stepped back away from Blaine. Blaine was worried for a moment that Kurt was going to be really mad, but shock was more the description of Kurt's face when he really looked to see the reaction.

Blaine smiled brightly, causing Kurt to smile while the entire wedding laughed and clapped. The photographer was there to catch it all. It would be great to see the pictures when they got them. "Come here." Blaine said in a low growly voice far too sexy for the middle of the wedding. He crooked his finger in motion with his voice. "Right now husband!" The crowd was laughing and a few Whoa's left the voices of the men at the order.

Kurt didn't care. When Blaine looked at him like that and used that low growly voice, it made his insides stir in excitement. He went without thinking twice about it. Blaine pulled him to his body and kissed him firmly then started to lick at the cake on his face, up his cheek. He heard Burt, but barely, "Save it for the honeymoon boys."

"Kurt, you are so in for it tonight, baby." He whispered in his ear as his mouth left to lick at Kurt's lips and face again. "You taste so good."

Kurt let out a groan, pushing Blaine back. "You can't talk like that. The party just started and I don't want to have to leave for a quickie. People will talk."

Blaine stuck out his bottom lip and pouted for just a second because the same bottom lip got sucked into Kurt's mouth the next second. Blaine sighed as Kurt licked his face. "Let's go to the bathroom." He tugged Blaine the direction of the exit.

"Kurt, you just said..."

"To clean up." Kurt cut him off sternly. "We have way too many guests around." It didn't matter if they wanted to try because the bathroom was jammed with guests.

"I f-like the champpsain, Blaine. I rhyyymmed 'ith it." Kurt was laughing loudly. It was late.

"Hhutt hhaappent. I drraank 'oo mmuch." Blaine dragged out laughing along with Kurt.

They were sitting out on the balcony holding a bottle of champagne. The waiter apparently didn't get the newsletter that they were not of age even though they were getting married and that he should serve them more than a glass each. "I told you Burt." Finn motioned to the boys sitting in chairs with their feet up on the railing. "They're totally wasted."

"Oh my." Rachel returned with JR and Catherine. "What do we do with them?"

"We need to get them back to their room. Looks like a quiet night for them." Burt looked over to see them talking, slurring words and laughing uncontrollably.

"Hhey, Bburtt." Blaine said leaning his head way back in the chair causing him to lose his balance.

"Whoa. Babyy!" Kurt reached out to catch Blaine. "Gocha." He giggled, "Hi Daddeee." Kurt waved.

"Okay, let's get them back to the hotel." JR said as he pulled out his phone to call the limo driver. "Someone's going to have to stay with them to make sure they're alright. "Finn?"

"Yeah. Me and Puck will." Rachel was too worried about the pair to think about the fact that she'd be losing Finn for the rest of the night. "I'll go get him."

Burt and JR approached the boys. "Well, you did it now boys. You got yourselves drunk on your wedding night." The boys laughed at Burt.

"I-I tirred." Kurt said.

"Yeah son. I know. We're gonna get you back to the room." Burt laughed as he helped Kurt up.

"Blaine, you okay son?"

"Yyeahh.. Great!. Wwee were checkin out the prette view."

JR laughed. "Well, you're going to be checking out the toilet soon, I suspect." He helped Blaine up. The four stumbled through the wedding that was truly starting to wind down.

Finn and Puck met them at the limo. "We're ready."

Puck took a whiff. "Yuck.. Man, you guys went too far. They're going to be puking all night. Thanks for signing me up for this man."

"You are one of the best men." Finn answered. "It's sort of an obligation isn't it?"

"Just get them to their room and make sure they get out of these tuxes before you put them in bed with trash cans." Burt directed them. We'll be there early to help you guys out.

"Okay Burt." Finn accepted the responsibility without question.

"You guys are a pain in the ass." Puck struggled with a passed out Blaine. He was tugging his shirt off. "They both better have boxers on under this or I'm going to kill you Finn. If I have to sleep on the floor and see their junk, I'll have to gouge my eyes out or at least wash them out with bleach."

"They're wearing boxers Puck. They're gay men. They have to be presentable at all times, even when their getting busy. It would be rude to freeball."

"Huh?" Puck looked up at him in question.

"They need to look good when they're getting naked too. They're gay men." Finn said like it was common knowledge.

Thankfully Puck pulled Blaine's pants down to find him in his purple boxer briefs. He pushed Blaine on his side and propped a pillow between them while Finn pulled Kurt on his side so that they could puke over the edge of the bed when they both woke up. "That's the best we can do, I guess." They stood there for a second. "Video games?"

"You're on." They had video games in the Honeymoon Suite but Puck suspected it was for this exact reason that that they did. They started to play as they waited out the night and hoped Blaine and Kurt would be okay.

"Ughhhh!" Finn looked up to see Kurt leaned over the side of the bed hurling into the trash can. He whimpered in pain.

Finn walked over to Kurt and sat on the side of the bed rubbing his back. "You okay, Kurt?"

"I feel like a thousand elephants are walking on my head and I ate their poop."

Finn laughed. "You drank way too much champagne. It'll be better once.." He was cut off by Kurt puking again. "Thank God we had trash liners and plenty of them. That was a really good idea Puck."

"Live and learn from the master." The game was paused and Puck leaned back against the couch to wait out the puking. Just then Blaine was roused as he stood and stumbled to the toilet where they heard him hurling into the toilet groaning loudly. "Another country awakens to the land of 'I drank so much I should be dead' puking." Blaine didn't stop though. He just kept going. "Hmm? I should probably check on him."

Finn looked at Kurt who was sleeping again with his head hanging over the trash can. Finn decided to wrap it up and line it again. He held it way out as he dumped into the heavy duty bigger trash bag in the corner of the room. "I'm so glad they like candles. That's another thing with gay guys. Their place always smells good because they like air fresheners and candles." He sniffed in the air. "I kinda like it."

"You're so gay." Puck said as he helped Blaine back to the bed.

"Thanks Puck. What the hell happened?" He took in the way Kurt was lying halfway off the bed over the trash can.

"You, my friend and your husband drank the shit out of champagne tonight. It's a good thing you guys didn't get alcohol poisoning." Puck was always blunt and to the point.

"I feel like shit." Blaine groaned.

"Yeah, and you're going to feel like shit in a few hours when you have to get up." Puck laughed.

"Aspirin."

"Not yet. I think you have more puking in your future." Puck denied him the request but headed back to the bathroom for a cup of water. "I'll give you one in the morning. I don't think you'll keep anything down long enough for it to help."

"Fine." Blaine laid down and closed his eyes. "Is Kurt okay?"

"He's been puking too." Finn answered. "You guys totally overdid it last night."

"It felt good when it was happening." Blaine sighed and whined until Puck got there with the water. He drank it.

"If you keep that down, I'll let you have an ibuprofen." Puck dictated. "Kids."

"Kill me now. Put me out of my misery." Kurt whined as he tried to eat some toast that they had room service bring.

"Kurt, eat the toast. You need to put something in your stomach. You need to drink lots of water too." Finn responded with a glass of water plopped down in front of him.

"I don't think I can do it."

"I'm sitting right here until you drink enough water to hydrate yourself." Finn crossed his arms and planted himself right there.

"Ditto for you wonder boy." Puck said to Blaine. "You both deserve it. Boy scouts should never drink. Don't they have a patch for that?"

"Haha Puck. Do you really think we would have done this if we were even thinking?" Blaine laid his head on his crossed arms trying to will the pounding away. "Please tell me it isn't sunny out."

"Oh, it's sunny and warm. We're going to have to take you out in it to get to your grandparents house. We promised to produce the two of you for lunch." Puck continued. "and I'm not letting anyone down. I'm delivering you two lightweights at lunch as expected." Puck was not going easy on them. The boys were in really bad shape.

"I feel like I'm dying Blaine." Kurt whined.

"Me too baby." Blaine leaned over to put his head on Kurt's shoulder. "What were we thinking?"

"I know I was thinking about how good the champagne tasted, until it didn't taste good anymore." Kurt groaned. "I just need the headache to go away."

"We need to drink lots of water, baby." He grabbed his glass and drank. "I think it's about hydrating ourselves."

"Finn's making me eat this toast." He looked directly at Finn.

"Eat it bro." Finn said adamantly. "We're not going anywhere until you guys eat toast and drink water. Lots of water."

Kurt and Blaine struggled through the entire breakfast and then knew they had to face the sunlight to get to Jack and Ellen's place. They were having a little gathering with just the close friends. They were opening gifts.

Most of the Warblers except Wes, David, Nick and Jeff were transported back home. The same went for the New Directions. Finn, Rachel, Puck and Mercedes were the only ones to stay in Boston. Kurt and Blaine lounged on the sofa in the solarium while the family handed them gifts and envelopes with cards and money. It was a never ending stack of cards wishing them well and spitting our gift cards and money.

Catherine and Carole took turns writing down the names of the people and gifts they got so that the couple could start the grueling task of writing thank you notes to each guest for their thoughtful gift. When all was said and done, they had twelve sets of china, crystal, and silverware, ten platters, four sets of bed sheets, eight sets of towels, twelve sets of plates and such for everyday use, a wine rack, goblets, corkscrews, pots and pans and the list kept growing. The monetary gifts grew as well. When they opened the last envelope, they have over five hundred dollars in Bed, Bath and Beyond gift certificates, thirty restaurant gift certificates of different values and over fifteen thousand in cash. "That's the grand total we got." Carole finalized.

"Are you serious?" Kurt asked in dismay.

"Yes."

"Really?" He asked again.

"Kurt, do the numbers in your head. If half the guests, roughly three hundred each give you on average fifty dollars, you would have fifteen thousand. Some of those guests gave you twenty or twenty five, but then you have to ones that will give you a hundred or more." Carole was putting it in perspective for him.

"Oh. That makes sense."

Jack entered the room. "That doesn't include our gift."

"Granddad, you're already letting us use the Park Avenue apartment and you paid for the wedding. You don't need to give us anything else." Blaine insisted.

Jack and Ellen sat down in front of the boys and handed them an envelope. "Open it."

"We can't accept whatever it is." Kurt said trying to push their hands back.

"Blaine, you're our only grandson and we have the money to do things for you. You can't do anything right now because you have school, so for now accept this." He was firm as he continued to hold it out to them.

Blaine finally took it from his hands. He turned the envelope over and over in his hand before tearing open the flap gently with his finger. He pulled out the folded piece of paper. And unfolded it. Kurt looked over his shoulder as they read through the paper. Kurt's hand went to his mouth before he said, "Jack, we can't accept this."

"Nonsense." Like it was the silliest thing he'd ever heard. "You never decline a gift. It's rude."

"But Granddad, this is crazy."

"It may be, but I still want you to have it." Ellen nudged him in the side. "WE want you to have it."

Burt finally had enough of the curiosity of what they were talking about. "Well, what is it boys?"

"It looks like a real estate listing for an apartment." Kurt responded shocked.

"It is." Jack said in all seriousness.

Kurt was confused. "Why.. um.. I don't understand." He tried to understand what all of this meant.

Blaine responded carefully. "It's our very own place in New York City, a few floors below their place."

Burt was impressed. "Jack, that's so nice of you to do for the boys."

"Don't thank me. They'll be looking for your help with furniture and decorating though this money will help."

"It's under major renovation right now, and won't be done until after the holidays. In the meantime, they will stay at our place and can oversee the renovations."

"You didn't have to renovate it Jack. We could have done that. Getting it for us was such a huge expense already." Kurt was flustered, not really knowing how to react.

"We didn't make the deal until they agreed on dropping the cost of the renovation off the sale price." Jack was known to play hardball and he did with this.

Blaine started to smile at the idea of their own place. "It's a nice size. It's something that we could stay in for a really long time."

"How big is it?" Kurt asked.

"Well, not as big as our place, but it's still a good size. It's around 2800 square feet. Once the renovations are done, you'll have three bedrooms, three baths a state of the art kitchen because Kurt likes to cook, living room, small balcony and a special music room for both of you and any great grandchildren we end up having." Jack was proud of himself. "Boys, I have the money to give. Humor the old man and accept it graciously."

Blaine turned to Kurt for acceptance. Kurt's lips met Blaine's and they kissed before turning to Jack and Ellen with bright smiles. "Thank you so much Jack." Kurt said confidently.

Kurt was jumping out of his skin. He was so excited. They had said their goodbye's the night before and were headed on their honeymoon to Paris. It was everything he'd ever wanted. He wanted everything with Blaine. There was no other man for him and now he had him forever.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Blaine leaned in to Kurt as they lounged on the sofa.

"I'm just so happy. Everything is coming together so perfectly that I'm waiting for something to go wrong."

"It won't. We deserve happiness Kurt. Maybe this is what we get because we've had to endure such hardship in our lives."

"Maybe, but just when things are perfect, isn't that just an illusion that something is wrong." Kurt was digging very deep in his mind for this.

"No, not necessarily. Everything can go right too. It's a fifty-fifty chance right?" Blaine was so optimistic.

Kurt nodded because Blaine was right. They were on the right track and they were happy. Everything was perfect right now. Why should he dwell on things that might happen? "You're right sweetheart. I love you so much."

"And I love you too. So let's nap and enjoy the trip to Paris. We'll be on the terrace listening to music and staring at the Seine before you know it."

"I can't wait." Kurt laid back on the coach and spread his legs so that Blaine could lay between them. "Can we sightsee and eat a lot of French bread and drink wine?"

"We're not drinking wine after our wedding night." Blaine cringed at the thought of it.

"I meant in moderation of course." Kurt clarified.

"I guess we can drink wine in moderation. I feel bad that we never had a wedding night on account of our drunken debacle." Blaine was situated on top of Kurt leaning on his elbows on either side of Kurt's head.

"We have a six hour flight." Kurt winked. "But, I'm tired right now. Let's nap and then we can talk about the things we didn't get to do on our wedding night."

"Oh honey, we're not going to talk. I'm going to close that door and we're going to enjoy what we didn't get to do on our wedding night." Blaine smiled, but then yawned widely.

"Oh, if you insist." Kurt said as Blaine laid his head down and nuzzled his face into the side of his neck kissing softly there before he fell asleep. Kurt was up long enough to feel Blaine's breathing even and steady. "I love you baby. Forever." His eyes shut as he dozed off.

The End..... For now
