(Rachel and Sams wedding day)
Rachels pov:
I stood in the mirror looking at myself all dressed up in my wedding dress and makeup. I looked at myself and smiled slightly. Today is the day Rachel Berry becomes Rachel Hudson.... I mean Evans. Wow, I'm marrying Sam. I'm marrying Sam . I thought to myself,9oo

I could feel my heart beat louder every second. Louder and louder and then there was a knock on my door.

"Come in." I said.

The door opened and it was Carol , Finns mom.

"Wow Rachel, you look stunning!" She expressed.

"Thank you Carol I'm so thrilled your here." I said and gave her a hug.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world , you're like a daughter to me." She said.

"Oh thank you, for everything." I said.

"So are you ready to be Mrs.Sam Evans?" She asked me.

"Yeah I can't believe it." I said.

"I remember when I was getting ready to marry Burt. I tried on my wedding dress every night." She told me.

"You did?" I asked her.

"Yeah I was so excited the thought of being happy and in love made me so happy. But I'm sure you feel the same way with Sam." She told me.

"Yeah of course." I said lying.

"You alright dear?" She asked me.

"I'll be right back." I said and left the room.

I walked down the hall and went to Sams dressing room .  I knocked on the door and he opened it.

"Rachel, what are you doing here?" He asked me.

"Can we talk?" I asked him.

"Rachel we'll have plenty of time during the wedding to talk." He said.

"I know but I just I need this to just be a private moment." I said.

"Okay." He said and let me in.

"Whats going on?" He said.

"I didn't try on my wedding dress every night." I said.

"What?" He asked me.

"Sam , I don't think I can marry you." I told him.

"Why?" He asked me.

"Because I didn't try on my wedding dress every night. I didn't try it on and think about how in love I am with you because I'm not in love with you ." I said .

"Rachel , I don't understand did I do something wrong?" He asked me.

"No , no of course not but Sam you are one of my closest friends. But you and I both know that this isn't right." I told him.

"It's Finn isn't it." He said.

I looked at him and said,

"I never wanted to hurt you. But he's my person and I love him." I said.

"How did I know " He said.

"You should go home , I'll take care of this." I told him.

He looked at me and gave me hug .

"I'm sorry." I said.

"Hey its okay sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do." He said.

I smiled and wiped my tears,

"I should get out there." I said and left.

I took a breath and opened the church door and walked down the aisle and went to the front and said,

"Hi everyone , first I wanna thank you all for coming , I know you probably expected a wedding but sadly  Sam and I have decided this isn't right. But stay and enjoy the bar . Thank you." I said and walked out as quickly as possible.
