WHO: Tina Cohen-Chang (mentions of Finn Hudson).
WHERE: Wedding Chapel, New York City.
WHEN: Saturday afternoon; December 13, 2020.
SUMMARY: The wait is over; Finn and Tina finally tie the knot.
Tina had waited for this day for what felt like an eternity. Finally she was going to become Mrs. Tina Hudson, and never in her entire life had she been so happy and blessed. She and Finn had been through a lot over the span of years they'd known one another; sure, they hadn't always been together, and at one point Tina had thought she had lost him forever. It seemed like the universe kept pulling them apart and testing them, but it would always bring them to find another once again, and eventually there was nothing else against them. They always passed the tests, and deep in her heart she'd always known he was the one for her-- her eternal true love. They were about to make it official, and the brunette was teeming with joy and excitement. Naturally she was a little nervous, but the elation brimming within her outweighed it by a landslide. Mrs. Tina Hudson... it rolled off the tongue, and just felt so right. Having missed Finn from the traditional night before separated, she was so close to sneaking to meet him, dress or not. She wanted it to be a surprise though; to see those warm chocolate hues of his twinkling as she walked down the aisle toward him... just like in the movies. If you asked her, their love story was certainly an epic one.
With the help of her bridesmaids and her mother, Tina felt just like Cinderella, or some other princess who had gone through a transformation and into the most beautiful version of themselves. She had opted for a white dress, despite it's traditional roots claimed for someone still a virgin; things had changed through the times and such wasn't taken so seriously. Plus, it looked much better against her cocoa skin than something off-white. She smiled as her mother examined the look; the tears pricking the older woman's eyes starting to stir up something within Tina. She had promised she wouldn't cry, but anyone who knew her also knew she was a sap, and she'd be lucky not to make a huge scene out of it as she and Finn traded vows. She was very grateful for waterproof mascara. "Thank you, everyone for being here and sharing this with Finn and myself. I know I would be a jumpy mess if it weren't for you all," she graciously announced to the group of females in the small room, being sure to give each a hug as she handed them a little gift. "Now, let's go get me married!" she added exuberantly before the bridesmaids lead her to the waiting area, still keeping the bride hidden from the guests and Finn.
Long brunette locks fell to her shoulders, tresses practically a waterfall of dark colors in the form of curls and soft waves. She had tested out so many styles but opted for something down; after all, her hair was one of her best features, and she knew Finn had always loved it too. A princess pink gloss to her lips dazzled, rather than her typical bolder choices, but she was pretty pleased with it all, and hoped that her striking husband to be would as well. Feeling her heart stutter as the music began filling the room and everyone was seated, Tina watched from afar, centered behind a curtain as Stephanie tossed her flowers alongside their little ring bearer. This was all too perfect - something that Tina never felt she was. Somehow though she had landed Finn, and as he joined his groomsman at the front of the chapel, it felt like someone punched the breath out of her. He was gorgeous; not that that was anything new but he was grinning and full of the same joy she was and it was enough to bring tears to her eyes. He was the best man she had ever met, and how he had ever wanted Tina, well, she didn't know... but she felt beyond blessed.
So lost in her thoughts and her gaze of the guy she was about to marry, it took a little nudge from Sadie for Tina to realize it was their turn. One by one her bridesmaids took their stroll down the aisle, each lining up on the other side of the steps whilst the bride's adrenalin kicked in. This was it. She had never been good with crowds, but this was something different altogether... it wasn't a show, but her declaring a promise to the love of her life until the day she died, and when she considered it that way, it was a piece of cake. As her bridal march started echoing within the room, Tina took a deep breath and tried to push back those jovial tears as a smile came to her face, a soft one. She grinned more brightly while traveling her way down the aisle, but about halfway there her brown orbs met Finn's and she caved-- a few tears strummed down her face, but again, there was nothing sad about it. He was giving her the look. The beaming smile she gave him now assured so, and as Finn closed a little space between them once she'd reached him, it took everything for her to keep her composure. This was about the time she wished she had opted for a veil covering her face rather than the more modern one tumbling from the back of her tiara, but a little sniffle as she dabbed away the tears and Tina was calm again. It was just so difficult to believe a fantasy like this could come true. That it was real.
Once the minister began to speak, Tina felt Finn's gentle but strong hand envelope hers, the touch igniting a rush of warmth throughout her frame. She took a deep breath and eyes never left his; tenderly Tee's fingers wrapped about his own back, giving them a little squeeze as she let every look of adoration from him, and each word spoken of their relationship fill her heart. This was a day she would never forget, and she'd do anything to ensure that Finn felt as lucky to be hers as she did to be his. He was everything to her.
Time seemed to be blazing by, and soon they were saying their vows-- their declarations to take care of each other until their dying days, and it was a promise that she would never relent. For some reason she held her breath when it was Finn's turn to say 'I do,' - not that she once thought he would surprise her with declining, but... this was it. He still wanted her after all this time; though the drama and separation, the good times and the bad. The waiting, and more waiting... she had really made him wait so long. Yet, there was no hesitation between either of them, it crystal clear they had found their soul mates. They each happily proved so as they earnestly repeated "I do."
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Neither Finn nor Tina balked at the chance to seal this with a kiss, and they shared a long, slow one, both smiling into it at the announcement of their new bond. She giggled slightly as the chapel filled with the cheers of their friends and family all there to love ad support and cheer them on. It all still felt like a dream; the sweetest and best one of her lifetime. One that she hoped to never wake up from.
"I present to you," the minister exclaimed, a smile on his face even if no match for Finn or Tina's: "Mr. and Mrs. Finn Hudson." Their fingers locking together, the newlyweds grasped each other tightly as they walked down the aisle as one. One love, one marriage... one family. As soon as they rounded the corner and had a moment of privacy, Tina embraced her new husband as she stood on her toes to dive in for another loving kiss. "I love you, hubby."
