History Recap / GleeS6E08AWedding

Next Time: From the ashes comes a CousinOliver. Seriously.

After six long years, Brittana finally put a ring on it.

But that's not all! Ever since the title was announced as "''A'' Wedding", Gleeks knew something was up. That suspicious article made the GenreSavvy realise that by the wont of Ryan Murphy, another couple were going to intrude on the precious event. Would it be [[PortmanteauCoupleName Tike]]? Quick? Klaine? Given that the first four haven't actually done anything all season and completed their 2-episode contracted guest roles, it wasn't a massive jump of logic. Hence the "big reveal" was pretty much a ForegoneConclusion.

Still, Tina does propose to Mike - he says no - and Puck makes an appearance in which he winds up dancing with Blaine's mom, finding someone to dance with in lieu of his erstwhile partner not showing up. It was never that clear if Quick was still together after they hooked up.

We open somewhere in Indiana. See, Brittany was born in a barn in Indiana and [[strike:[[Franchise/AmericanPie Stifler's]]]] her mom, [[FamilyThemeNaming Whitney S. Pierce]], wants her to get married there. Also the show realised that gay marriage was illegal in Ohio. Santana's mom says she can work with it, and a whole group of fans started petitioning for a spin-off about the Pierce-Lopez mommas. Brittany, who's in charge, has hired Artie as wedding planner and because Santana and Brittany think it's a great idea he goes with it. Many of their friends from the glee club come to help set up the wedding, which is basically just hilarious abuse of them by Brittany for a whole episode. This is Brit-Brit's episode, and Creator/HeatherMorris uses it to prove why there should have been more Britney weeks.

-->'''Tina:''' ''(dragging a tree across a field for Brittany)'' How did I end up doing this?
-->'''Kurt:''' You volunteered to help.

Brittany's inside the barn (that tree didn't actually need to be used for anything) and yelling at people to move stuff around randomly. The new kids get a part at this point, though they themselves don't know why they're stacking hay bales for a random lesbian couple their teachers used to get bullied by, but nothing by the way of plot. Brittany's freaking out about how it needs to be perfect and "there's dirt on that white thing!"

Kurt steps in to help Brittany, but when she asks how he coped through his wedding with Blaine he has to remind her that they broke up. In a way only Brittany could, she replies that she finds their relationship confusing because she doesn't care. Also, there's no officiant for the wedding and Kurt actually proves useful here and says that Burt can do it. "Who's that?" "...he's my dad." When Burt does officiate the wedding he mentions the having-to-cross-a-stateline thing.

The girls go dress shopping. They do all sorts of silly dances in various awesome bridal gowns with Rachel, Tina, and Mercedes helping them choose. Where in the ever-loving hell is Lucille? Are they worried she's going to tell them that they're too young to get married, because she [[{{Hypocrite}} slammed Kurt for that]] already. Guess they don't need her to cause drama, though, because Santana comes out (hehe) to see Brittany in her dress, but Brit thinks that it's bad luck. Given how much bad luck has befallen weddings on this show before, I don't blame her. She tries to counteract this bad luck by going to sacrifice a chicken. Rachel (in a rare moment where we're reminded she's vegan) squeals at her and Santana gets her to leave it in the school hall where, let's be honest, it's probably still roaming. "This is your lucky day, sir!" "Ridiculous."

Brittany then starts using math to work out a seating plan that will solve the "glee kids have dated so incestuously", where do we sit them? problem. It's also when Santana notices that Sue has a chair. No me gusta. Apparently, Santana doesn't like the idea of Sue being at her wedding. This is also reasonable, given how she ruined Will and Emma's in "I Do" (though that sort of worked out for Santana, but not the way Brittana and Faberry shippers wanted. Quinntana fans, though...), but Brittany says that if Sue hadn't put them on the Cheerios! together they wouldn't have met. While Brittana is obviously so powerful and amazing it's definitely endgame in every conceivable universe, the sentiment is nice. I'd still ban her for being able to legally marry herself in Ohio, but somehow they can't. Mercedes agrees, saying that if she's invited there's an 80% chance she'll ruin it. Rachel counters with however, if she's not invited there's a 99% chance she will. Santana says that if Sue's at the wedding, she won't be, and Brittany is understandably not too excited at the prospect. ''Technically'' Sue doesn't end up ruining it, but anyone that's not a die-hard Klaine shipper will argue that she did.

Then Kurt's old boyfriend asks when they're going to be fitted for suits and, okay, even if Kurt was really into you, you're probably not invited to these strangers' wedding, dude. Kurt says he's going with Blaine, sorry, because it's expected (and no-one knows you, which is creepy). Old boyfriend says that he understands and to savour young love, even though for another few minutes Kurt still isn't into Blaine. Of course, being told that you love someone equals just that in the world of Glee, and Kurt runs over to Blaine's and they decide to date again.

Now to the E? plot - there's lots of big plots, so it's still quite major - that is Tina telling Blaine, Puck, and Artie that she wants to propose to Mike (even though they're not dating) but wants their input. I'm sorry, but she has she ever spoken to Puck before? Is Puck in any way going to be decent relationship advice? The three boys think it's a great idea, but Artie looks sad because he still likes Tina.

Cut to Sue's office, where Santana has been summoned. Sue says she's hurt that she hasn't been invited to the wedding, and she wants to know why. "You ruin weddings", "my fiancee was born in a tiny barn, there's only so many people we could invite", and "Even Quinn ain't coming" would have all been great answers, but instead Santana criticizes that Sue can only love herself, so why would she want her at her wedding. Which isn't a great answer. Only ''then'' does she mention Sue freaking Emma out so much that she left Will at the altar and how she's angry that Sue can taint the sanctity of marriage by wedding herself and society thinks it's okay, but she has to drive to Indiana to marry the woman she loves and still gets crap for it. Santana's got some burly cousins and Puck, probably, acting as security, who'll throw Sue out if she gets too close. Sue's upset. She probably has a heart and really cares about the couple like she showed in season 3.

Finally, it's the day of the wedding. The new kids are fulfilling their scene quota (and earning their paychecks for the week) by carrying Artie over the mud into the barn in the background. The old kids are taking selfies, while Sugar, [[{{Fanon}} having been allowed one more trip in her moms' time machine]], snaps Klaine with a pitchfork and Kurt's face is the best thing he does all episode. Puck gets in a line or two to try and help Tina with Mike. Then [[Creator/GinaGershon Blaine's mom]] (Pam Anderson. "No, not ''that'' [[Creator/PamelaAnderson Pam Anderson]].") introduces herself to Carole Hummel, Maribel Lopez, and Whitney S. Pierce. To those who still didn't know that Klaine were tying the knot, this gave up the ghost. Carole then speaks with Kurt and Blaine (and Rachel eavesdropping much), saying how Finn taught them to make the most of everything.

Brittany is still freaking out about the bad luck. They're in another part of the barn, and she tasks Rachel to find a lizard to cross her path. And no, Lucille Fabray's tongue doesn't count. Heather Morris and Creator/LeaMichele's delivery is perfect - have we already mentioned how much of a goldmine this episode is? Mercedes, Tina, and Rachel are also in the bridesmaids dresses from [[Recap/GleeS3E14OnMyWay Rachel's failed wedding]]. Rachel probably borrowed Santana's, and evidently Quinn isn't there because her bridesmaid dress is shredded and bloodstained or something. Santana enters the room, telling Brittany how beautiful she is but also, [[GratuitousSpanish idiota]], giving them more bad luck. I can see the barn burning down with all this negative voodoo build-up. Brittany pushes Santana out and closes the door. Santana comes back in (seriously?) and tells Brit that she's cute, but the old tradition doesn't apply to them because it was made so that the groom wouldn't bolt and they love each other and won't do that. Also, you know, there's no groom. They make out. Like, a lot.

Then Sue walks in. ''Goddamnit, Puck!''

However, Sue says that she has a present for Santana. Dirt in her locker? Er, no. ''Abuela.'' Holy shit. Sue has somehow talked around abuela in a way that Santana and Brittany were unable to: reverse Sue-cology. By Sue saying that because she wasn't invited she wants to destroy the wedding, asking Alma to assist her and suggesting all the things that people have used to kill homosexuals, Alma realises that she loves Santana and Brittany and doesn't want anyone to hurt them. Awwww. She tells the girls that family is the most important thing, and they are going to be each others family, as well as not wanting to miss her granddaughter's wedding. Santana says that Sue can stay because she managed to both know and bring the one gift she wanted. Brit and Santana hug abuela, and Sue nearly joins in, beaming.

Then Sue pays a visit to Klaine, asking them to follow her. They refuse until she says that it's genuinely a Brittana-mergency and they would be fools to refuse the brides anything they want on their wedding day, especially when they're Brittany and Santana. They oblige, and Brittany asks them to get married and share the wedding. Haha, please god no. Thankfully, Kurt says that even if they wanted to, Santana would kill them. No, in the greatest {{OOC}} moment in Glee history (and yes, that does include the whole of Season 4), Santana says Brittany convinced her it was a good idea. Okay, maybe if Brit asked nicely it's not entirely impossible. Blaine says it's not that bad of an idea, and Sue says she's already got the rings - and presumably a marriage license, too.

Kurt and Blaine walk Brittany and Santana down the aisle, and crash their vows. Whitney keeps saying that her husband (Pierce Pierce) is in the bathroom and missing everything. Sugar thanks the heavens - moms are okay, and her existence is secured. We also see the neckbrace Cheerio! from last season, apparently closer friends with Brittany than any of those spare glee kids were. Of course, Quinn continues to not turn up to her best friends' wedding. Kitty's also a bridesmaid, Will a groomsman with Sam, Mike, and Artie. Puck wasn't allowed to join them because of his refusal to take off his airman dress shirt. Doves are released from behind, and we're pretty sure that Heather [[EnforcedMethodActing had no idea it was going to happen]].

Pierce finally emerges from the bathroom to give a toast. In a manner we've come to expect from his (adopted) daughter, he thought they said "toaster", but Target is closed so he's just going to say a few words instead. Once he starts pointing out girls that are less pretty than Brit, Whitney drags him away. Santana instead stands up to make the speech, and says that she and Brittany are her {{OTP}} and [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer we're not making it up]], that is exactly what she says. She then gives out hats that say "OTP" and if it wasn't already obvious that whoever wrote this episode (hi, Ross Maxwell!) has been scouring the internet after pulling that, Artie then launches into "Hey Ya!" (as in '''He'''ather and Na'''ya''', [[PortmanteauCoupleName HeYa]], the ActorShipping version of Brittana).

Sometime during the party, Tina proposes to Mike. He says that he loves her but they can't get married, and Tina realises that asking her high school boyfriend to marry her when they've only just started texting again was a bit too far. They kiss, and Mike says that she still owed him a dance. But they're not together. They're welcomed back out to the party by the mothers of the two couples getting ready to sing. Finally, because when Romy Rosemont (Carole Hummel) had to sing in her audition ''seven years ago'', she wouldn't have been bargaining on it taking them this long to give her a song. They also reunite the Troubletones, and the group's dresses form a rainbow flag, just in case you didn't know that this episode is one of the gayest episodes of the gayest show on television ever. Oh, Santana/Naya's in white pant suit pants [[Recap/GleeS2E2BritneyBrittany ag]][[Recap/GleeS3E16SaturdayNightGleever ain]].

Then the couples sing their own song, because that's what people do at their own wedding, and Mike dances with Tina, Puck with Blaine's mom, Beiste with Sue, and Sugar with herself, because Sugar Motta Pierce-Lopez is her own woman, dammit!

Skip to the next day, Tina and Artie (referring to themselves as "Tartie" and "Artina" because this episode is stupidly {{meta}}) are eating lunch when Tina admits that she just wants something exciting to happen to her for once in six seasons. Artie proposes a FallbackMarriagePact in case they turn thirty and are still single. It's implied that they go through with this in "[[Recap/GleeS6E13DreamsComeTrue Dreams Come True]]".

That couple has left and Sue has called the "Anderhummels" and "Lopierces" to the auditorium. She gives them honeymoons - Kurt and Blaine to a B&B in New England for a weekend, which they think is wonderful until they hear that Brittany and Santana are going to the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island ("that's where WonderWoman's from!") for a month. Sue then comments that she has no couples to ship anymore, and will have to find a new one, suggesting "Faberry, can't get enough of the lesbians". Everyone's jaws drop, because ''that's'' been avoided for six seasons and trust the show to pick an episode entirely sans Quinn to mention it. And, really, where was Quinn - [[Recap/GleeS3E21Nationals "The Unholy Trinity: starting together, ending together"]]?! The answer, BTW, is making out with Rachel in their bathroom. Puck said he liked the Air Force but makes no mention of his (probably now ex-)girlfriend. Then Brittany says that they share an anniversary with Klaine and have got to celebrate together every year. This is the moment when Santana truly realizes that she has made a terrible, terrible, mistake.

*** Even others suggest that because nobody asks why Quinn's missing, we're to assume that she's there but we never saw her.
*** Or, she's off screen making out with Rachel.
* HappilyEverAfter: The end of Brittana's story. After years of hookups, makeups, ''unnecessary'' breakups, and all manner of {{Gayngst}} and angst, Brittany and Santana get one of these, and it is well deserved.

Finally, it's the day of the wedding. The new kids are fulfilling their scene quota (and earning their paychecks for the week) by carrying Artie over the mud into the barn in the background. The old kids are taking selfies, while Sugar, [[{{Fanon}} having been allowed one more trip in her moms' time machine]], snaps Klaine with a pitchfork and Kurt's face is the best thing he does all episode. Puck gets in a line or two to try and help Tina with Mike. Then Blaine's mom (Pam Anderson.

To those who still didn't know that Klaine were tying the knot, this gave up the ghost. Carole then speaks with Kurt and Blaine (and Rachel eavesdropping much), saying how Finn taught them to make the most of everything.

* OneLiner: Episode [[Quotes/GleeS6E08AWedding quotes page]] is a work in progress.

** Fans like to add in RealitySubtext for why Quinn was conspicuously missing from 2/3 of the Unholy Trinity's wedding by imagining that she was out of the country and couldn't make it back so suddenly, as Creator/DiannaAgron had just gone to London to do "McQueen".

* ShoutOut: To the fandom of the internet by including "Hey Ya!", and Sugar making an appearance. As nearly every review of the episode questions the presence of "Hey Ya!" within the musical selections, the reference is really the only explanation.

Still, Tina does propose to Mike - he says no - and Puck makes an appearance in which he goes after Blaine's mom, making Quick fans cry and proving that you can put a manwhore in a uniform, but a manwhore he shall remain. (Sorry, Quinn, guess he has a thing for moms. Wait...)

Then Kurt's old boyfriend asks when they're going to be fitted for suits and, okay, even if Kurt was really into you, you're probably not invited to these strangers' wedding, dude. Kurt says he's going with Blaine, sorry, because it's expected (and no-one knows you, which is creepy). Old boyfriend says that he understands and to savour young love, even though for another few minutes Kurt still isn't into Blaine. Of course, being told that you love some equals just that in the world of Glee, and Kurt runs over to Blaine's and they decide to date again.

Cut to Sue's office, where Santana has been summoned. Sue says she's hurt that she hasn't been invited to the wedding, and she wants to know why. "You ruin weddings", "my fiancee was born in a tiny barn, there's only so many people we could invite", and "Even Quinn ain't coming" would have all been great answers, but instead Santana criticises that Sue can only love herself, so why would she want her at her wedding. Which isn't a great answer. Only ''then'' does she mention Sue freaking Emma out so much that she left Will at the altar and how she's angry that Sue can taint the sanctity of marriage by wedding herself and society thinks it's okay, but she has to drive to Indiana to marry the woman she loves and still gets crap for it. Santana's got some burly cousins and Puck, probably, acting as security, who'll throw Sue out if she gets too close. Sue's upset. She probably has a heart and really cares about the couple like she showed in season 3.

Finally, it's the day of the wedding. The new kids are fulfilling the scene quota by carrying Artie over the mud into the barn in the background. The old kids are taking selfies, while Sugar ([[{{Fanon}} having been allowed one more trip in her moms' time machine]]) snaps Klaine with a pitchfork and Kurt's face is the best thing he does all episode. Puck gets in a line or two to try and help Tina with Mike. Then Blaine's mom (Pam Anderson. "No, not ''that'' [[Creator/PamelaAnderson Pam Anderson]].") introduces herself to Carole Hummel, Maribel Lopez, and Whitney S. Pierce. To those who still didn't know that Klaine were tying the knot, this told them the score. Carole then speaks with Kurt and Blaine (and Rachel eavesdropping much), saying how Finn taught them to make the most of everything.

Then Sue pays a visit to Klaine, asking them to follow her. They refuse until she says that it's genuinely a Brittana-mergency and they would be fools to refuse the brides anything they want on their wedding day, especially when they're Brittany and Santana. They oblige, and Brittany asks them to get married and share the wedding. Haha, please god no. Thankfully, Kurt says that even if they wanted to, Santana would kill them. No, in the greatest {{OOC}} moment ever, Santana says Brittany convinced her it was a good idea. Okay, maybe if Brit asked nicely it's not entirely impossible. Blaine says it's not that bad of an idea, and Sue says she's already got the rings - and presumably a marriage license, too.

Pierce finally emerges from the bathroom to give a toast. In a manner we've come to expect from his (adopted) daughter, he thought they said "toaster", but Target is closed so he's just going to say a few words instead. Once he starts pointing out girls that are less pretty than Brit, Whitney drags him away. Santana instead stands up to make the speech, and says that she and Brittany are her {{OTP}} and [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer we're not making it up]], that is exactly what she says. She then gives out hats that say "OTP" and if it wasn't already obvious that whoever wrote this episode (hi, Ross Maxwell!) has been scouring the internet after pulling that, Artie then launches into "Hey Ya!" ('''He'''ather and Na'''ya''', [[PortmanteauCoupleName HeYa]], the ActorShipping version of Brittana).

Then the couples sing their own song, because that's what people do at their own wedding, and Mike dances with Tina, Puck with Blaine's mom, Beiste with Sue, and Sugar with herself.

*** Others are that Quinn realises that she's about as good at screwing up weddings as she is her own relationships.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[HilariousInHindsight "If [sex was dating]]] [[SchoolgirlLesbians Santana and I]] [[Recap/GleeS1E13Sectionals would be dating."]]]]

However, Sue says that she has a present for Santana. Dirt in her locker? Er, no. ''Abuela.'' Holy shit. Sue has somehow talked around abuela in a way that Santana and Brittany were unable to: reverse Sue-cology. By Sue saying that because she wasn't invited she wants to destroy the wedding, asking Alma to assist her and suggesting all the things that have historical been used to kill homosexuals, Alma realises that she loves Santana and Brittany and doesn't want anyone to hurt them. Awwww. She tells the girls that family is the most important thing, and they are going to be each others family, as well as not wanting to miss her granddaughter's wedding. Santana says that Sue can stay because she managed to both know and bring the one gift she wanted. Brit and Santana hug abuela, and Sue nearly joins in, beaming.

Brittany's inside the barn (that tree didn't actually need to be used for anything) and yelling at people to move stuff around randomly. The new kids get a part at this point, though they themselves don't know why they're stacking hay bales for a random lesbian couple their teachers used to get bullied by, but nothing by the way of plot. Brittany's freaking out about how it needs to perfect and "there's dirt on that white thing!"

Finally, it's the day of the wedding. The new kids are fulfilling the scene quota by carrying Artie over the mud into the barn in the background. The old kids are taking selfies, while Sugar ([[{{Fanon}} having been allowed one more trip in her moms time machine]]) snaps Klaine with a pitchfork and Kurt's face is the best thing he does all episode.

Carole then speaks with Kurt and Blaine (and Rachel eavesdropping much), saying how Finn taught them to make the most of everything.

** Others are that Quinn realises that she's about as good at screwing up weddings as she is her own relationships.
** Even others suggest that because nobody asks why Quinn's missing, we're to assume that she's there but we never saw her.
** Or, she's off screen making out with Rachel.

Kurt and Blaine walk Brittany and Santana down the aisle, and crash their vows. Whitney keeps saying that her husband (Pierce Pierce) is in the bathroom and missing everything. Sugar thanks the heavens - moms are okay, and her existence is secured, and so is the neckbrace Cheerio! from last season, apparently closer friends with Brittany than any of those spare glee kids were. Of course, Quinn continues to not turn up to her best friends' wedding. Kitty's also a bridesmaid, Will a groomsman with Sam, Mike, and Artie. Puck wasn't allowed to join them because of his refusal to take off his airman dress shirt. Doves are released from behind, and we're pretty sure that Heather [[EnforcedMethodActing had no idea it was going to happen]].

Brittana finally put a ring on it.

Still, Tina does propose to Mike - he says no - and Puck makes an appearance in which he goes after Blaine's mom. (Sorry, Quinn, guess he has a thing for moms. Wait...)

Finally, it's the day of the wedding. The new kids are fulfilling the scene quota by carrying Artie over the mud into the barn in the background. The old kids are taking pictures with a pitchfork and Kurt's face is the best thing he does all episode. Puck gets in a line or two to try and help Tina with Mike. Then Blaine's mom (Pam Anderson.

Kurt and Blaine walk Brittany and Santana down the aisle, and crash their vows. Whitney keeps saying that her husband (Pierce Pierce) is in the bathroom and missing everything. Sugar thanks the heavens - oh, yeah, Sugar's there (moms are okay), and so is the neckbrace Cheerio! from last season, apparently closer friends with Brittany than any of those spare glee kids were. Of course, Quinn continues to not turn up to her best friends' wedding. Kitty's also a bridesmaid, Will a groomsman with Sam, Mike, and Artie. Puck wasn't allowed to join them because of his refusal to take off his airman dress shirt. Doves are released from behind, and we're pretty sure that Heather [[EnforcedMethodActing had no idea it was going to happen]].

Sometime during the party, Tina proposes to Mike. He says that he loves her but they can't get married, and Tina realises that asking her high school boyfriend to marry her when they've only just started texting again was a bit too far. They kiss, and Mike says that she still owed him a dance. But they're not together. They're welcomed back out to the party by the mothers of the two couples getting ready to sing. Finally, because when Romy Rosemont (Carole Hudson) had to sing in her audition ''eight years ago'', she wouldn't have been bargaining on it taking them this long to give her a song. They also reunite the Troubletones, and the group's dresses form a rainbow flag, just in case you didn't know that this episode is one of the gayest episodes of the gayest show on television ever. Oh, Santana/Naya's in white pant suit pants [[Recap/GleeS2E2BritneyBrittany ag]][[Recap/GleeS3E16SaturdayNightGleever ain]].

That couple has left and Sue has called the "Anderhummels" and "Lopierces" to the auditorium. She gives them honeymoons - Kurt and Blaine to a B&B in New England for a weekend, which they think is wonderful until they hear that Brittany and Santana are going to the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island ("that's where WonderWoman's from!") for a month. Sue then comments that she has no couples to ship anymore, and will have to find a new one, suggesting "Faberry, can't get enough of the lesbians". Everyone's jaws drop, because ''that's'' been avoided for six seasons and trust the show to pick an episode entirely sans Quinn to mention it. And, really, where was Quinn - [[Recap/GleeS3E21Nationals "The Unholy Trinity: starting together, ending together"]]?! Puck said he liked the Air Force but makes no mention of his (probably now ex-)girlfriend. Then Brittany says that they share an anniversary with Klaine and have got to celebrate together every year. This is the moment when Santana truly realises that she has made a terrible, terrible, mistake.

Finally, it's the day of the wedding. The new kids are fulfilling the scene quota by carrying Artie over the mud into the barn in the background. The season 3 kids are taking pictures with a pitchfork. Puck gets in a line to try and help Tina with Mike. Then Blaine's mom (Pam Anderson. "No, not ''that'' [[Creator/PamelaAnderson Pam Anderson]].") introduces herself to Carole Hudson, Maribel Lopez, and Whitney S. Pierce. To those who still didn't know that Klaine were tying the knot, this told them the score. Carole then speaks with Kurt and Blaine (and Rachel eavesdropping much), saying how Finn taught them to make the most of everything.

Brittany is still freaking out about the bad luck. They're in another part of the barn, and she tasks Rachel to find a lizard to cross her path. Heather Morris and Lea Michele's delivery is perfect - have we already mentioned how much of a goldmine this episode is? Mercedes, Tina, and Rachel are also in the bridesmaids dresses from [[Recap/GleeS3E14OnMyWay Rachel's failed wedding]]. Rachel probably borrowed Santana's, and evidently Quinn isn't there because her bridesmaid dress is shredded and bloodstained or something. Santana enters the room, telling Brittany how beautiful she is but also, [[GratuitousSpanish idiota]], giving them more bad luck. I can see the barn burning down with all this negative voodoo build-up. Brittany pushes Santana out and closes the door. Santana comes back in (seriously?) and tells Brit that she's cute, but the old tradition doesn't apply to them because it was made so that the groom wouldn't bolt and they love each other and won't do that. Also, you know, there's no groom. They make out. Like, a lot.

Pierce finally emerges from the bathroom to give a toast. In a manner we've come to expect from his (adopted) daughter, he thought they said "toaster", but Wal-Mart is closed so he's just going to say a few words instead. Once he starts pointing out girls that are less pretty than Brit, Whitney drags him away.

The girls go dress shopping. They do all sorts of silly dances in various awesome bridal gowns with Rachel, Tina, and Mercedes helping them choose. Where in the ever-loving hell is Quinn? Are they worried she's going to tell them that they're too young to get married, because she [[{{Hypocrite}} slammed Kurt for that]] already. Guess they do need her to cause drama, though, because Santana comes out (hehe) to see Brittany in her dress, but Brit thinks that it's bad luck. Given how much bad luck has befallen weddings on this show before, I don't blame her. She tries to counteract this bad luck by going to sacrifice a chicken. Rachel (in a moment where we're reminded she's vegan) squeals at her and Santana gets her to leave it in the school hall where, let's be honest, it's probably still roaming. "This is your lucky day, sir!" "Ridiculous."

However, Sue says that she has a present for Santana. Dirt in her locker?
