2x07: Enchanted

Episode Synopsis: Finn and Rachel's friends take it into their own hands to get them married after their wedding at the church was ruined. Santana and Brittany agree to be friends again, but Puck finds out Santana is only manipulating Brittany in order to get Brittany back.

Announcer Voice: So here's what you missed on Glee: Finn and Rachel went to Lima, Ohio with Santana, Kurt and Puck because they were getting married and it was going to be this joyous occasion! Then things got weird when Rachel's fathers and Sue Sylvester wanted to ruin their wedding and Rachel was totally out of character because she lashed out at them. Finn had to deal with his father haunting him wherever he went and decides to name Burt his real father, but it was all for not when Finn's real father showed up at Finn's wedding when Finn's real father was sitting in the audience and Finn's real father wanted to stop the wedding! I know, my head hurts just thinking about it! And that's what you missed on, Glee!

Finn couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that his biological father was standing right before him, trying to ruin his wedding day to none other than the beautiful, talented Rachel Berry! Finn had nightmares like these, except some of his nightmares involved him missing his slacks and him standing at the altar in his underwear. But his father out of all people coming to the wedding and trying to stop it topped all of his nightmares. Finn was just in surprise—how did he know?

"How the hell did you even know that I was getting married?" Finn angrily stared at his father. "I made sure that I never told you because if I did, I knew you'd cause a damn scene!"

"Someone called me over to slap some sense into you." Christopher took one-step forward towards Finn, but Santana walked away from the other New Directions members and strolled in front of Christopher, protecting both Finn and Rachel.

"Nice scar." Santana said, but her voice was far from friendly. "The last time I checked, Finn gave you that scar because he got tired of your crap. Would you like Finn to bitch slap you again so that you can get the point that you're not wanted here?"

"So that's what Finn's been telling everyone? That he beat me up, well I'll teach him a lesson that he won't forget!" Christopher walked over towards Finn but Burt got up from his seat, grabbing Christopher by the arm. Christopher turned and stared into Burt's eyes, noting that Burt wasn't playing around with him.

"Take one more step towards my son," Burt got closer to Christopher in anger. "And he won't be the only one that knocks you out into tomorrow."

"You're not his father." Christopher snickered. "Don't kid yourself, baldy."

"HEY!" Finn shouted, causing everyone stare at Christopher. "You want to be a man? You'll step out in the hallway with me right now. You want to be a bitch? You can argue with other people in here!"

"Finn, I don't know…" Rachel softly muttered, but Finn gave Rachel a soft expression.

"It's okay, Rachel." Finn assured her. "I got this." Finn turned back around, heading down the aisle and out of the room. Christopher followed Finn into the hallway, but as he reached the hallway, he noticed Finn glaring at him. "What the hell is wrong with you? What part of I want nothing to do with your pathetic ass don't you understand?!"

"It's funny Finn…I see me in you every time I look at you. You're like a splitting image of me." Christopher smirked. Finn tensed up more, clutching his fists in anger.

"That's a damn lie." Finn growled. "I don't see anything that resembles me to you. You're a loser. You really have no respect for no one!"

"I'd watch your tone if I were you, mister." Christopher walked closer to Finn. Finn stood his ground, still staring at Christopher with anger. He wasn't letting Christopher get into his head again.

"Or what? What are you going to do to me?" Finn scoffed. "Who do you think you are that you can just barge into my wedding and tell me I can't marry anyone when you were never there for me?"

"You're making the same stupid mistake I made years ago!" Christopher yelled. "I only married your mother because I found out that she was pregnant with you. That was it. I could have bolted but I thought 'where was I going to go?' Who was going to take care of me like your mother did. So I stayed, and she still was a sucker enough to take care of me. I didn't even love her."

"Well the only difference is that I love Rachel." Finn felt his hands curl up into fists. "I love her and I'm never going to let her go like you let mom go. I'm going to be a man. A man doesn't just stay because they want someone to cook for them or to order the woman around. A man stays because he loves the woman he's with."

"Honestly, why would anyone want to marry you?" Christopher sneered. "You're not a man for your little girlfriend over there. She'll dump your ass faster than you can count to three!"

"I'm a better man than you will ever be." Finn seethed, walking towards Christopher. "I'm a man to everyone around me…you're just a pathetic piece of trash that uses the whole 'army' thing as an excuse to attempt to get whatever you want. Honestly, in my world I don't give a rats ass if you were in the army. You're still an asshole who wasn't a man enough to love his wife or love his son!" Christopher had enough of Finn's disobedience, so he pushed Finn into the wall. The old Finn would have cowered in fear and take the beating, but Finn was tired of Christopher overshadowing his life. Finn used his curled fist and clocked Christopher in the face, sending his "father" backwards and onto the floor. Finn's face contorted in frustration and rage, letting the pain and anger that he was holding in for the past couple of months out. Finn looked up and saw Burt, Carole and Kurt enter the hallway, spotting Christopher on the floor and Finn hovering over him with his fist curled up into a ball. Carole and Kurt couldn't help but smile at Finn for finally having the guts to stand up to his father. Burt just kept his eyes fixated on Christopher, walking over and grabbing Christopher by the collar. Burt pinned Christopher to the wall as Christopher let out a gasp, noticing that Burt and Finn were both glaring at him.

"You want to bully your son? Well now you have to go through me." Burt said. "I may have cancer, but I will kick anyone's ass who hurts or emotionally destroys my Finn! You got that?! Now get the hell out of here!" Burt kicked Christopher and threw him to the ground, noticing that Christopher was getting up and making his way out of the church—but not before he took one last look at Finn. Burt looked to Finn, noticing that Finn was shaken up. This was supposed to be the happiest day of Finn's life—instead, Christopher ruined Finn's day and Burt was afraid Finn was going to go back into his depression. "Finn, are you okay?" Finn looked up to Burt, shrugging his shoulders slightly.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Finn muttered. "I mean…I can't believe that he…I can't believe…" Finn couldn't finish his sentence. Instead, Finn walked away from Burt towards the reception hall and if Burt, Kurt and Carole could guess—Finn was hurting.

Finn sat on the stage of the reception hall, looking at the banner, the decorations, the balloons…everything. This day was supposed to be magical. But Christopher came and messed it up for him. While sitting there, Finn had to think about every word Christopher said—why would Rachel want a man that had so much baggage and that was only going to bring continuous drama with his father issue. Rachel probably deserves someone better, Finn thought to himself. Finn heard the click-clack of someone's shoes enter the reception hall, causing him to turn around and spot Rachel standing there. Finn looked at Rachel from head to toe, realizing that she was so beautiful…but someone like her needed someone that wasn't as troubled as he was. Rachel crossed her arms, making her way over to him as she pretended to be upset with him.

"Finnegan Christopher Hudson, I did not curl my hair and put on this wedding dress just so you could sit there and basically ignore the fact that we were supposed to get married today." Rachel noticed Finn turning away from her, heaving out a sigh. "Finn, what's wrong?"

"I don't get why you still want to be with me." Finn muttered. "Rachel, I'm nothing special, especially with my father drama."

"What are you talking about?" Rachel sat down next to Finn, folding her hands together. "Finn, did something happen in the hallway with you and your father that I don't know about?"

"He said that I was never going to be good enough for you!" Finn shouted, letting out his frustration. "Don't you see it, Rachel? How could you want to be with someone that has so much baggage and someone that's so broken inside?" Rachel took one of Finn's hands in hers, simply gazing at his fingers. After a moment of silence, she looked up to stare into his brown eyes.

"Because I still love you, no matter what." Rachel adamantly said. "And no matter what happens, we're going to get through it together. I promise you. I'm not going anywhere and whatever your father said about you that bothered you, let it leave your mind right now because I am not going to leave you for anything. Finn, what more do I have to do to get you to understand that it's you that I am choosing and that you are such a wonderful man? I'm wearing a wedding dress for crying out loud. You're amazing, you're sexy, you're so smart…and you don't see it. And even if you are a little messed up or if you are feeling tense and everything, I'm still going to be there for you. I'm not going anywhere no matter what. I thought we discussed that already." Finn couldn't help but crack a smile at Rachel's words, staring down at both of their fingers. Rachel got up from where she was sitting, ending up on the stage. "Now, before we go back there because we have people waiting, I'm going to sing you a little something. I want you to listen to every single word because every word I mean, Finn. I'm never going to stop loving you for as long as I live, no matter what happens between us. Okay?" Finn nodded his head as he sat on the stage, noticing that there was a pianist sitting in front of the piano, playing every note to the song Rachel was singing. Finn listened to the song intently, realizing that Rachel did love him no matter what, and there was nothing that she wouldn't do for him.

{Rachel stands in front of the bedazzled microphone as she stares at Finn, singing as she's only accompanied by a piano.}

Oh no, did I get too close

Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside

All your insecurities

All the dirty laundry

Never made me blink one time

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally

Come just as you are to me

Don't need no apologies

Know that you are worthy

I'll take your bad days with your good

Walk through the storm I would

I do it all because I love you, I love you

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally

So open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart

Acceptance is the key to be

To be truly free

Will you do the same for me

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally

I will love you

I will love you

I will love you unconditionally

After Rachel finished singing, she gazed at Finn while giving him a loving smile, making her way over to him so that she could help him up from the stage. Finn gazed at his hand, giving her a squeeze as a silent thank you for the song.

"I love you, Rachel." Finn muttered, giving her a hug. Rachel hugged Finn back, placing one of her hands on his cheek.

"I will always love you, Finn." Rachel intertwined her fingers with Finn, the both of them heading towards the exit of the reception all. "Now come on." Rachel faced Finn as she said the three words the both of them had been waiting for. "Let's get married."

"What do you mean that the pastor left?!" Santana screeched towards everyone. "Finn and Rachel can't get married without the damn pastor! Man, they're going to hate this."

"Santana, maybe you should calm down a bit…" Mike spoke up, looking to Santana with interest.

"Oh no Boy Chang!" Santana pointed her finger to Mike, causing him to quickly duck behind Tina since she was the closest thing to a shield. "You are not going to tell me that I need to calm down because this is bad! Finn and Rachel need to get married! If they don't then I am going to go all Lima Heights in here!"

"Why do you care if they get married so much, Santana?" Quinn asked.

"Because they're my friends, that's why." Santana answered. "Look, we need to find a minister that's going to do the service now. Kurt, can't you use the power of your ruby slippers and find a new pastor?"

"Santana, I'm a person. I'm not Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz." Kurt reminded her. "Look, I want to see my brother happy along with Rachel too, but us arguing isn't going to be good for anyone. I just want to know what made the pastor leave." As Kurt thought, Marley found a piece of paper on the floor, grabbing it in order to read what it said.

"According to this note, it says, and I quote, 'My mother called, she won the lottery, she's giving me half the money…peace out bitches'." Marley handed the note to Kurt, causing Kurt's eyes to widen.

"I demand the money we paid him for!" Kurt shouted. "Look, Finn and Rachel are going to be back any minute and we don't have a pastor to marry them! What are we going to do?"

"How about we just call off the wedding and send everyone on their merry way?" Sue smirked from the corner. Santana turned to Sue, charging towards her with rage in her eyes.

"How about you shut your pie hole so we can figure out what we're going to do!" Santana shouted.

"Look, I did Finn a favor." Sue smirked. "His father coming here to talk some sense into him will do him good."

"You are going to regret bringing Christopher here, do you understand me?!" Santana screeched. "If he hurts Finn in anyway, emotionally or physically, I will make your life a living hell!"

"You don't even like Finn!" Sue protested, looking at Santana. "So why do you care about him?"

"Oh trust me Sue; I like Finn more than I like you!" Santana said. "Finn's always been there for me! I'm not going to have you ruin the most important day of my friend's life because you're working with Rocky and Bullwinkle here to destroy the wedding." Santana pointed to LeRoy and Hiram as she spoke. "I wouldn't be surprised if they helped you get rid of the pastor just so Finn and Rachel couldn't get married! How much did you pay the pastor to leave? Huh? $100? $200? $400?"

"We didn't pay the pastor anything." LeRoy answered.

"$600." Hiram admitted. LeRoy turned to Hiram as Santana growled.

"LET ME AT THEM!" Santana screamed, causing Mike and Puck to grab Santana before she hurt someone.

"What's going on here?" Everyone turned to see Finn and Rachel standing in the church, observing the guests. Finn stepped forward, looking around for the pastor. "We're ready to get married, so where's the pastor?"

"Yeah, where is the pastor?" Rachel added. "I thought he would be here." Santana faced LeRoy and Hiram, crossing her arms in anger, knowing that they had to explain to their daughter what happened to the pastor eventually.

"Do you want to tell Rachel that you paid the pastor $600 to leave and say that he won the lottery?" Santana sardonically spoke towards Hiram and LeRoy, but Finn and Rachel let out a gasp.

What? You paid the pastor to leave?" Finn walked to Hiram and LeRoy, clearly hurt. "Why would you do something like that? Why would you sabotage the biggest chance of my life to be with Rachel forever?"

"All right Finn, I tried being nice about this, I really did." LeRoy stared at Finn, pointing one of his fingers towards Finn. "You have no vision about where your life is going. Let's face it, I always thought if Rachel was going to get married, it would be to someone that was on Broadway. Instead, Rachel settled and chose you. What do you think you're going to do in the next three to four years? Are you going to be stuck teaching children while Rachel is working hard getting awards and more Broadway roles? A man with a simple plan is not what Rachel needs!"

"Excuse me?!" Rachel bellowed. Finn had to admit he was surprised that Rachel had used that tone with her fathers, but it seemed that Rachel had enough. "I thought I told the both of you to not mess with my wedding! I also have a hunch that you two have something to do with Christopher showing up here as well! Is that right?!"

"Well, not us…exactly." Hiram once again admitted causing LeRoy to shoot his husband a glare.

"But you knew about it!" Rachel yelled. "You knew that everyone in this room disliked Christopher for a reason and yet you bring him in here anyway!"

"Rachel, we were only looking out for you." Hiram tried to assure her, but Rachel wasn't having any of it.

"You were looking out for me?!" Rachel screeched. "If you really were looking out for me, then you would let me get married! How about that!" Rachel felt her eyes water as tears started to go down her cheeks. "If this is how you're going to be…if this is how you're going to treat Finn, then I don't want you here! I don't want you in my live…ever!" Rachel turned around and stormed past everyone, making her way out of the church as Finn hung his head down.

"So I guess that's it." Finn dejectedly said as he started to make his way out of the church.

"Finn, wait." Marley started following him. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to change out of this tux…I'm going to find Rachel and then we're going home." Finn's voice cracked as he spoke. "I thought it would have been nice for Rachel and me to get married here but…with all the drama and chaos I don't think that Lima is the right place for us." Finn said as he made his way out of the church, closing the door behind him. Everyone stood there in shock, facing Hiram, LeRoy and Sue with anger.

"Are you happy with what you did now, Sue?" Mr. Schuester kept his eyes on her. "Are you happy?!"

"Frankly William, I think they're too young to get married." Sue said.

"And frankly, it's not any of your business." Mr. Schuester retorted. "We were all here today in order to share this joyous celebration with Finn and Rachel. Instead they're both devastated and they're going to go home without being married! You made this mess so you have to fix it."

"Me?" Sue pointed to herself. "I don't think so."

"Well if Coach Sylvester isn't going to fix it, then maybe we can." Marley said.

"How are we going to fix this?" Ryder wondered.

"Yeah, you heard them." Mike added. "Finn and Rachel said they were going to go home. I don't think they're going to change their minds and get married here."

"Who said that they were getting married here?" Marley's voice turned mischievous as the others became interested. "We're going to make sure that they're going to get married…but we're going to do it somewhere that's not in this church."

"I think I have the perfect place." Mercedes snapped her fingers.

"Where?" Mr. Schuester asked.

"Where's the one place that Finn and Rachel loved more than life itself? The one place where they felt that when they walked in, they were accepted. The one place that they enjoyed and cherished and felt like leaders in?" Mercedes gave everyone a hint. Sue obviously didn't get what was being said, but everyone else understood.

"Come on, why are you dragging me to McKinley…in my tuxedo?" Finn groaned towards Mike and Puck as his two friends entered the building with him.

"Because there's something we want you to see." Mike answered.

"Guys, I know you're trying to make me feel better by bringing me to my old stomping grounds, but at this rate nothing is going to make me feel better." Finn sighed. "The only thing I really want is to go back to the loft in New York with a tub of ice cream and to cry my eyes out."

"Come on Finn, you're being dramatic like a girl." Puck rolled his eyes. "Look, you're going to like this idea because we all thought of it. We know that you're almost wedding at the church absolutely sucked, but we had a better idea."

"Oh really? What's the better idea?" Finn sighed. Puck and Mike opened the door to the choir room and that was when Finn's eyes widened. He saw the choir room was decorated with streamers, banners; there were pictures of him and Rachel from their high school days all over the walls. Finn was impressed—but he also had to wonder what was going on here. "Um, what is all this?"

"We know that you were really sad because you didn't get a chance to get married to Rachel at the church." Marley walked over to Finn with a smile. "So we all came up with the idea for you to get married in the choir room. Sure, it's not the fancy wedding you both dreamed about but it's exclusive and private. We hoped that you would like the idea."

"This is the place where both you and Rachel grew up in the last three years, so we wanted it to be someplace that you both love." Mike said as he patted Finn's back. "So what do you think?"

"It's…it's perfect." Finn said. Finn looked over to the whiteboard where Mr. Schuester would write the weekly lesson and grinned. On the board it said, 'Finchel Wedding' and if Finn's smile could go any wider, it would. Finn loved it—now he just hoped Rachel would. "Um, this is beautiful and all but there's something missing. First off, I need Rachel if I'm going to get married and second we don't have a minister for the wedding."

"That could be taken care of Pumpkin." Coach Beiste smiled at Finn. "While the wedding at the church turned into a bust, I went online and became an ordained minister so I could perform your wedding ceremony."

"Wait, you got ordained online?" Finn wondered. "You can do that now?"

"Apparently anyone can become a minster if they pay $40 online." Kitty said from behind Finn.

"All right everyone! What are we standing around for?!" Coach Beiste clapped her hands. "We have a wedding to complete!" Everyone in the room started cheering as Finn was led towards the front of the choir room and everybody took their seats. Finn had a feeling that this was going to be it—this was his moment. Brad the pianist quickly started playing 'Here Comes the Bride' as Mercedes and Quinn led Rachel in the room. Rachel took one look at Finn and smiled, making her way over to him. As soon as Rachel stood in front of Finn, Brad stopped playing the piano, leaning back and watching the moment. "All right, we are gathered here today to unite Ms. Rachel Barbra Berry and Mr. Finnegan Hudson in holy matrimony…again." Everyone slightly chuckled as Coach Beiste continued. "If there are any objections to this wedding speak now or forever hold your peace…I suggest you hold your peace because I will come and put you in a headlock if you say these two cannot marry." The room stayed silent and Coach Beiste continued. "All right, now it's time for the vows. Who would like to go first?" Finn and Rachel gazed at each other, wondering who should be the one to go first in exchanging their vows. Rachel raised her hand slightly, and Finn nodded his head, keeping the smile that he had on his face from the moment he saw her.

"All right," Rachel let out a shaky sigh as she tried to get rid of her nerves. She looked at Finn, marveling at the man that was standing before her. "Finn…I just wanted to start off by saying that I love you. I know that I say that all the time but every time I say it, I mean it. I mean every single word. When I first met you, I knew that you were someone I wanted but if I could admit it was for a completely different reason. You have the voice of an angel and when we first started singing together, I knew that you complimented me vocally. I did every trick out of the book to get you to see that we belonged together—I even went as far as to dress up as Sandy from Grease, something that I probably regret to this day. But the more I got to know you, the more I fell in love with you…the real you. I knew you loved music…and for some reason when we were singing together, I knew that you were kind of falling for me too." Finn squeezed Rachel's hand as he noticed that she was beginning to tear up. "Sometimes when we're together, love is just enough. I love you, you love me…I kind of already have our future planned out. You're going to be here, in this choir room after you graduate from NYADA and you're going to be teaching your own Glee Club. When I'm done with my latest musical I'm going to go through those doors over there and just say, 'Honey, I'm home'. Then you'll pick me up, make me feel loved…and we'll live happily ever after." Rachel started to cry, but she knew that she was nowhere near done with what she wanted to tell Finn. "You're my person, and no matter where we are and what we do, I'm going to be in love with you forever. You're inspiring, you're tenacious, you're a sweetheart…you're just everything I wish I could be Finn. I actually had something planned for the reception but…it can't wait until then. It has to be said right now. I had Santana, Kurt and Puck help me with this…if you don't mind." Everyone smiled as Santana, Kurt and Puck got up from their seats, making their way to Rachel. Rachel looked over to Brad as Brad started playing an all-time classic, and there was not a dry eye in the house—including Finn's.

{Rachel, Puck, Santana and Kurt stand there as Rachel holds Santana's hand, smiling at Finn. Everyone starts to shed tears as they sing and Finn even starts crying as well}

[Rachel]

It must have been cold there in my shadow

To never have sunlight on your face

You were content to let me shine, that's your way

You always walked a step behind

[Kurt]

So I was the one with all the glory

While you were the one with all the strength

[Santana]

A beautiful face without a name for so long

A beautiful smile to hide the pain

[Rachel and Puck with Santana and Kurt]

Did you ever know that you're my hero

And everything I would like to be

I could fly higher than an eagle

You are the wind beneath my wings

[Puck]

It might have appeared to go unnoticed

But I've got it all here in my heart

[Rachel]

I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it

That I would be nothing without you

[Rachel, Puck, Santana and Kurt]

Did you ever know that you're my hero

And everything I would like to be

I could fly higher than an eagle

You are the wind beneath my wings

[Rachel with Puck, Santana, Kurt and New Directions]

Did I ever tell you that you're my hero

You're everything, everything I wish I could be

I could fly higher than an eagle

Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

[Rachel]

Oh, the wind beneath my wings

Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high

Oh you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings

Oh you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky

So high I almost touch the sky

Thank you, thank you

Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

At the end of the song everyone started clapping, and Rachel started sobbing. Finn couldn't help but walk over to her and wrap her into the biggest hug possible. He pressed a kiss onto the top of her head as Rachel looked up to him.

"I guess it's a good thing I wore waterproof makeup today." Rachel joked through her tears. Finn laughed and hugged her tightly. "I love you so much."

"I love you too…" Finn continued to hug her. Santana, Kurt and Puck patted Finn's back and took their seats as Rachel composed herself.

"Those were my vows…" Rachel softly said after a moment, causing everyone to laugh through their tears. Coach Beiste turned to Finn, but Finn just pulled out a sheet of paper before anyone could say anything. Finn handed the sheet of paper to the guitarist before looking over at Rachel with a grin.

"All right, I'm going to be honest…I couldn't think of my vows." Finn admitted causing some of the Glee Club members to gasp.

"Ouch, harsh." Kitty whispered to Ryder and Jake.

"I mean I do have vows it's just…no matter what I write, it wouldn't be enough to tell you that I love you, Rachel Berry. Besides, I was afraid if I wrote a long list you would get bored of hearing stuff you already know about yourself. So…I took Coach Beiste and Ms. Pillsbury's advice and instead of telling you your vows, I'm going to sing them. No, I did not write the song myself but the song I chose says every little thing that I want to tell you, down to the last detail. Also, with this song…there's no way in hell I'm going to beat your vows." Rachel continued smiling at him as Finn sat on the nearby stool, pointing to the guitarist to play the song as Finn sang to Rachel with every emotion in his body.

{The guitarist starts playing the song and Finn stares at Rachel with a grin}

[Finn]

I can't fight this feeling any longer

And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow

What started out as friendship has grown stronger

I only wish I had the strength to let it show

And even as I wonder, I'm keeping you in sight

You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

[Finn with New Directions]

And I can't fight this feeling anymore

I forgotten what I've started fighting for

It's time to bring this ship into the shore

And throw away the oars

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

[Finn]

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you

I've been running round in circles in my mind

And it always seems that I'm following you, girl

Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wonder, I'm keeping you in sight

You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

[Finn with New Directions]

And I can't fight this feeling anymore

I forgotten what I've started fighting for

It's time to bring this ship into the shore

And throw away the oars forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore

I forgotten what I've started fighting for

Even if I have to crawl upon your floor

Come crashing through your door

[Finn]

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

Ooh, ooh

Rachel clapped her hands towards Finn with some tears streaming down her face, noticing that Finn was surprised that Rachel enjoyed it. Finn got up from his chair and Rachel cheekily grinned at him, grabbing both of his hands as she slowly led him back to where Coach Beiste was standing.

"There's a lot of singing at this wedding." Puck whispered to Mike, Quinn and Mercedes.

"It's Finn and Rachel's wedding, of course there's singing." Quinn whispered back.

"All right, can I have the rings please?" Coach Beiste looked to Finn and Rachel who stared over at Brittany.

"Brittany, where are the rings?" Finn asked.

"What rings?" Brittany wondered. Finn felt like pounding his head into the wall at that point. Even when everything looked like it was going well…it ended up going terribly.

"The rings Finn gave you to hold?" Santana reminded her. "He didn't trust Puck with them because he thought Puck was going to lose them."

"If he didn't trust Puck then why did he trust Brittany?" Tina asked.

"Because I'm stupid, that's why." Finn muttered.

"Finn didn't give me any rings to hold." Brittany said. "I'm forgetful and I pretty much think that the entire world is one gigantic game of Candyland but Finn didn't give me the rings. I'm certain because he said he had to tell me something then he was pulled away from me because Mike and Puck needed him. So with deductive reasoning…the rings are in Finn's jacket pocket." Brittany pointed to Finn's tuxedo jacket as Finn went into them. A moment later, he took out two rings and Rachel smiled at Finn. Finn handed one of the rings to Rachel as she looked into Finn's eyes, giving him her warmest smile possible.

"All right, I want the both of you to repeat after me," Coach Beiste said. "With this ring, I thee wed."

Rachel slipped the ring on Finn's ring finger, biting her lower lip as she kept her eyes on him. "With this ring, I thee wed."

"With this ring, I thee wed." Finn put the ring on Rachel's finger, taking her hand up to his lips and kissing her hand with a smile.

"And by the power invested in me…and the ministry license I paid for on , I now pronounce you husband and wife." Coach Beiste looked to the both of them, a smile tugging on her lips. "You may now kiss the bride." Rachel didn't hesitate as she leaned in and captured Finn in the most passionate kiss of her life. Everyone stood up from their seat and started cheering as Finn and Rachel were still in their lip-lock. Quinn heard Puck sniffling, turning her head and widening her eyes.

"Noah, why are you crying?" Quinn was surprised, but a smile was on her lips.

"Because weddings are so beautiful, Quinn!" Puck sobbed. Quinn rubbed Puck's shoulder soothingly, the smile still evident.

"It's okay to cry, Puck." Quinn assured him. "Weddings are a joyous occasion after all." Puck nodded his head as Quinn hugged him tightly, Puck smelling Quinn's scent as he continued to happy cry. Finn and Rachel finally parted, looking into each other's eyes. Rachel had dreamed about this day from the moment she met Finn. She always wanted to be Rachel Hudson…and today was that day.

"You know…I think I'm going to love being Mrs. Rachel Hudson." Rachel whispered to Finn, nuzzling her nose with his. "But for my professional career, I'm still Rachel Berry."

"You can call yourself Rachel Santa Maria for all I care," Finn spoke, looking overjoyed. "In my heart I know that you're now Rachel Hudson. I love you, Rachel.'

"I love you too…" Rachel said, pressing a kiss to Finn's lips.

"All right, all right, enough with the kissing." Mercedes chided.

"It's time to go to your reception!" Mike excitedly added.

"Great, but…where is the reception?" Finn wondered.

"Where did you and Rachel have the most important dance of your life?" Mercedes asked with a beam. Finn and Rachel thought about it for a moment, until Rachel remembered…the gym!

"I know where! Come on, Finn!" Rachel pulled Finn out the door as Finn laughed along with her. Mercedes and Mike exchanged smiles before following the newly-weds towards the gymnasium.

Finn and Rachel were in awe when they entered the gym, noticing that there were banners, ice sculptures, a wedding cake, balloons and so much more. Everyone in New Directions did this for them. They wanted to make sure that Finn and Rachel had the best wedding ever. Finn and Rachel had to admit that they were amazed, even touched by the gestures that everyone did.

"Come on, time for you guys to sit down so we can make toasts to you guys!" Kurt walked past Finn and Rachel with Blaine in tow.

"It's going to be amazing." Blaine called back. Finn and Rachel shrugged their shoulders in amusement while going to take their seats, Finn continued to marvel at Rachel with glee. The Rachel sitting in front of him wasn't just his high school girlfriend that he was in love with. The Rachel sitting in front of him was his wife! Finn pressed a kiss to Rachel's forehead, causing her to giggle.

"Finn, what's the matter?" Rachel smiled at him.

"I love you, Rachel." Finn murmured as he leaned closer to her lips. "I love you so much…"

"I love you too, Finn." Rachel put a hand on Finn's cheek as she leaned closer to his ear. "The wedding and the reception are nice and all…but I believe that there's some business that has to be discussed just between the two of us." Finn's eyebrows went up and his face turned into a smirk.

"Your code-talk for 'we're having sex later' is so sexy." Finn smirked. Rachel playfully hit Finn in the chest as she heard glasses clanging around her. Kurt was already on the stage, giving Rachel and Finn a smile.

"All right, now that we are all here, it's time to get on with the toasts. Apparently, it's the best part of the wedding." Kurt smiled. "Where to start? Okay, I'll admit…I hated Rachel because she had a crush on Finn when we were sophomore's in high school. That sounds somewhat harsh but I had a crush on Finn too even though I knew that Finn and I would never happen in a million years. Through their up and down love, Finn and Rachel have always seemed to find themselves back to one another. They're the couple you root for all the time, the couple you know that they're going to be in their 90's, talking about all the amazing things they did in their life. I always imagined Rachel being in multiple Broadway shows and scoring multiple Tony awards, Finn being a teacher and a Glee Club instructor, eventually being a five time 'Teacher of the Year' winner. And when it would be time to settle down, they'd probably have three kids. I always pictured two girls and a boy and if Rachel had her way she'd name them Tony, Maria and Evita. Finn would probably want three boys and name them Peyton, Eli and Archie after the Mannings, the most elite Quarterback family in the NFL. Well whatever happens in the end, Finn and Rachel are meant to be…and there will be nothing getting in their way. To Finn and Rachel!"

"To Finn and Rachel!" Everyone shouted as Finn and Rachel raised their cups slightly. Kurt got off the stage and Burt got on the stage next, looking at his son and daughter-in-law with a proud smile.

"Well, I'm going to admit that I never thought that I would have to do a toast at Finn's wedding." Burt chuckled. "Especially not with Finn being 19, but hey there's a first time for everything. I guess I want to start by saying…Finn, I'm really, really proud of you buddy. You are the strongest person I know. I mean you've been through so much crap and you've had to face so many obstacles. But you never gave up. You kept pushing through them, and you did whatever it took to get what you wanted. You were MVP at your Sectionals Competition, you now run your own Glee Club and you have the girl. Knowing you, it never was easy and I know that there's going to be a lot of obstacles in your way…but I know that with the heart and determination that you've had all this time, you are going to get through them. You are a wonderful guy, Finn…and you are going to make Rachel happier beyond her wildest dreams. I'm sure she's happy right now just looking at her." Rachel raised her glass to Burt at that comment with a smile as everyone chuckled. "So, to Finn and Rachel."

"To Finn and Rachel!" Burt got off the stage and next was Santana and Brittany. Finn braced himself, knowing that Santana was going to pack on ten million insults and then get to the point. It's what Santana did all the time, but Finn realized he tolerated it because he loved Santana.

"When I first met Finn and Rachel, I really hated them both." Santana started with a smile on her face, causing Finn and Mr. Schuester to slap their palms onto their foreheads in disbelief. "Frankenteen was constantly making himself the victim for everything and Gayberry was obsessed with trying to get with Frankenteen in order to make herself look good. That and she would rub in your face that her talent was better than yours. But when I really got to know them I realized that there was no reason to hate them. Finn is…Finn is someone that you would want on your corner all the time. He's someone that would want to defend you no matter what you did to him in the past. He's a nice guy. Rachel is just as nice once you strip the voice, the ego and the diva attitude. Rachel's one of my best friends now, and I would fight for her in a heartbeat. Brittany and I were working on something with Puck and Finn 2.0, and we were hoping that we could sing it for you. But...everyone is going to need to grab a dance partner for this one, so get off your lazy butts…and dance." Santana and Brittany turned towards the band that started playing as Finn got up from his seat, holding his hand out for Rachel to take. Rachel grabbed his hand, and just as Santana hoped…Finn and Rachel began to dance.

[Santana]

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

[Santana and Brittany]

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

[Santana]

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

[Brittany]

Never settle for the path of least resistance

[Santana]

Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking

[Brittany]

Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making

[Santana]

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter

[Brittany]

When you come close to selling out reconsider

[Santana]

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

[Brittany]

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

[Santana and Brittany](Jake and Ryder)

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along

Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

[Santana]

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

[Brittany]

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

[Santana]

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

[Brittany]

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

[Santana and Brittany](Jake and Ryder)

Dance! I hope you dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along

Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

Everyone clapped as Santana walked over to take her glass from Mercedes, raising it in the air as she grinned towards Finn and Rachel.

"To Finchel!" Santana cheered.

"TO FINCHEL!" Everyone joined in. Santana put her glass down and started to make her way towards the stage while she spotted Finn and Rachel talking with Mr. Schuester. Santana had to admit that she was slightly jealous of them. They had something that she didn't have—eternal love. Santana gazed over at Brittany, seeing that she was talking to Jake and Ryder and suddenly became confident. She was going to talk to Brittany if it was the last thing she did before she went home to New York. Santana made her way to Brittany, tapping her on the shoulder with a smile.

"Hey." Santana said as Brittany turned around. Jake and Ryder gave Santana and Brittany a moment, Brittany staring at Santana with interest. "Well, that duet was really great up there."

"You really think so?" Brittany smiled. "Thanks, it was actually fun singing with you."

"Really?" Santana wondered, smiling at Brittany. "I'm glad that you had fun singing with me. I missed singing with you."

"I missed singing with you too." Brittany looked to Santana, noticing that Santana had something else on her mind.

"I'm sorry about what happened…with what I said about you and Sam." Santana sighed. "I didn't mean it. You're my best friend Brittany, and although we can't be together I still want to be your friend. You're my friend and there's no one out there like you. I miss calling you and talking about random stuff, you know?"

"I miss you too, Santana…and I would love to be friends with you again," Brittany started to hug Santana, then stopped. "On one condition."

"Name it."

"No more making fun of Sam." Brittany said. "He makes me happy and as my friend, I want you to please be happy for me. I know he has trouty lips and all but you can't make fun of him just to be mean. Okay?" Santana quickly nodded her head.

"All right, no more making fun of Sam. I promise." Santana hugged Brittany as the two of them giggled. Brittany saw Sam from the corner of her eye, excusing herself in order to make her way over to him. Santana stood there, unknowing that Puck was right behind her.

"I'm proud of you, Santana." Puck smiled towards her. "You being the bigger person in all of this and accepting that Brittany is happy with Sam and all."

"Oh please, Puckerman." Santana rolled her eyes. "I'm still going to steal Brittany from Sam." Puck's smile disappeared with Santana's words. "I'm just going to say a few things here and there and soon she'll be in my arms."

"Wait, so you're going to manipulate Brittany?" Puck worried. "I don't know if that's a good idea."

"Says the person that manipulated Rachel into having a house party with alcohol." Santana shot back.

"Okay, but this is different." Puck tried to reason with her. "It's not like I went and tried to break up Finn and Rachel by stealing her from him. If Brittany finds out what you're doing then she's never going to speak to you again."

"Save it for someone who cares, Puckerman." Santana walked past Puck, making her way to the punch bowl. Puck turned around and spotted Brittany and Sam talking to Finn and Rachel, feeling worried for Brittany. Sure he and Brittany were never close, but Santana manipulating her just seemed wrong. Brittany wasn't smart enough to pick up on it and it would have been a shame if Brittany had been taken advantage of by Santana just because Santana wanted her girlfriend back.

"Finn? Rachel?" Everyone turned to the stage where everybody spotted Marley standing there shyly, looking at the newlyweds. Finn and Rachel looked over at Marley, Finn feeling a smile tugging on his lips. "I actually had something to say. Well, first off I want to thank the both of you for everything that you did for me since you got here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have performed in front of a big crowd or have the courage to say what was on my mind. I know that I haven't known you both for very long but when I spend time with you guys, particularly Finn, it feels like I've known you forever. Finn, you're like that big brother that I've never had and I really am grateful that I met you. Rachel, I aspire to be just like you. You're so passionate and you never give up even when things go rough for you. You're my idol and I couldn't have chosen a better idol than you. I had something planned for you to sing, but I'm going to need a lot more help with this song, so guys?" Marley looked and saw the New Directions Alumni and New Directions coming on the stage. Marley turned back to Finn and Rachel, gripping the microphone she had close to her. "While you listen to this song I want you to really think back about all the times that you had together that were good…and how enchanted you were to meet one another."

{The guitarist starts to play and Marley holds the microphone close to her with a smile, gazing at both Finn and Rachel as Finn holds her hand out for a dance}

[Marley]

There I was again tonight, forcing laughter faking smiles

Same old tired lonely place

Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

[Quinn]

Your eyes whispered have we meet

Across the room your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks like

Passing notes in secrecy

[Marley and Quinn]

And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

[Marley, Quinn, Jake and Puck]

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

[Marley]

I was enchanted to meet you

[Kurt]

The lingering question kept me up

2a.m., who do you love

I wondered till I'm wide awake

[Kurt and Blaine]

And now I'm pacing back and forth

Wishing you were at my door

I'd open up and you would say, hey

[Kurt]

"It was enchanting to meet you,"

[Kurt and Blaine]

"All I know is I was enchanted to meet you"

[Kurt, Blaine, Tina and Mike]

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

[Marley, Jake, Quinn and Puck]

This night is flawless don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing round all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

[Kurt]

I was enchanted to meet you

{Finn and Rachel look into each other's eyes and remember the first time they met each other, the first time they kissed, their first time and every event leading up to their wedding. Rachel leans her head on Finn's chest as Finn holds her close and they slow dance together}

[Santana]

This is me praying that

[Santana and Brittany]

This was the very first page

Not where the storyline ends

My thoughts will echo your name

Until I see you again

These are the words I held back

As I was leaving too soon

[Brittany]

I was enchanted to meet you

[Quinn]

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

[Brittany and Santana]

Please don't be in love with someone else (Marley: Whoa)

Please don't have somebody waiting on you (Marley: OH!)

[Marley, Quinn, Jake and Puck with New Directions]

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'd spend forever wondering if you knew

[Santana, Brittany, Tina and Mike with New Directions]

This night is flawless don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing round all alone

I'd spend forever wondering if you knew

[Marley]

I was enchanted to meet you

[Kurt and Blaine with New Directions]

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

{Finn and Rachel smile at each other and lean in for a passionate kiss as everyone starts cheering. Everyone smiles at them and continues cheering as Finn and Rachel smile while kissing.}

Marley grabbed her glass from Jake, giving the people that had given her strength and courage an excited smile. She was happy to witness the next part of their lives together, and she knew no matter what would happen that they would be together for a long time, always in each other's corners. Marley raised her glass in the air as she shouted, "TO FINCHEL!" Everyone raised their glass in excitement, agreeing with what Marley said, putting an ending to a wonderful, extraordinary wedding.

"TO FINCHEL!"
