Finns pov :
Today is the day I marry Quinn , I'm so happy and excited but also nervous. The truth is my best friend Rachel and I have been secretly sleeping together since Quinn and I got together . But I ended it after Quinn and I got engaged and now Rachel's here at our wedding to serve as my best man or I guess best woman . I was in the church getting ready to go when Rachel knocked on the door .

"Hi." She said looking beautiful

"Hi." I said

"You look great ." She said

"Thanks you too."  I said

I was have a hard time with my tie and she came over ,

"Here let me help." She said and untied my knot

"So when do you go to New York?" I asked her

"The day after tomorrow ." She told me

"Wow." I said surprised

"Don't worry , you and Quinn will be busy on your honeymoon anyway." She said joking

"Not if you tell me you love me ." I said

She stopped and looked at me ,

"Finn , you're getting married in 1 hour ."

"Not if you tell me otherwise ." I said

"What ?"

"Rachel I love you , I have always loved you and if you love me then let's ditch this wedding a go to New York and be together ." I told her

"Finn do you know how crazy you sound right now ? You're getting married in a hour now is not the time to propose something crazy ." She said

"Why is it crazy ? I love you and I know you love me ." I said

"As a friend !" She whispered

"That's bullshit and you know it ." I said

She looked at me and then suddenly kissed me passionately.

(5 minutes later)

I put my jacket back on and Rachel zipped up her dress and then came over to me .

"I can't be the other woman Finn ."

"But you're not ." I said

"Finn , Quinn loves you , and I can't do that to her or you . It's not right ." She said

She began to tie my tie and I looked at her and said ,

" I love you ."

She finished and then said ,

"It's time for you to get married ." And left the room .
