A/N - I know what you are possibly thinking! Why in the world would I start writing another story!? Well, quite simply because I am MAD! This idea, sort of popped into my head and whilst most ideas I just think for a little bit; this one was not going to go away and was determined to stick in it!
So I do have to say it's a change of pace for me; and I think it will be a nice change; from that of my ever interconnecting stories to just work on something a little different.
As always, any characters you recognize from Glee; they don't belong to me. However, the character of Mikki does belong to me and she as always cannot be used without my permission.
So let me know what you think; drop a review, a fave or a follow - and I will hopefully be back with a new chapter of it soon!
Love always,

Chapter 1 -
Rachel Berry went running into the law firm where her fiancé worked, having just gotten possibly the worse phone call you could get with their wedding only two weeks away.
Racing past that of the receptionist without even acknowledging her or even stopping to ask if there was someone at present in the office of her fiancé; she ignored their cries of wait please; as she raced the office of Sebastian Smythe, and opened the door.
"Seb" said Rachel, running over to his desk; in tears and he looked up from his work that he was doing and to her.
"Rach, honey?" he asked, seeing her before him and in the devastated state that she was in, in that moment. "What's wrong?" he continued, taking her hands and allowing his fiancée to sit on him on him in his office chair.
"I just got the worse phone call" she sobbed, looking at him and shaking her head. "The place that we're meant to be getting married at in two weeks time" she cried. "They had a fire their last night, and we can't. We can't get married there anymore"
"Ummm, yeah I kind of already know" replied Sebastian, looking to her with a small nod and Rachel looked to him completely bewildered by this. "I was looking at something online about an hour ago, and saw that there was a fire there"
"And you didn't think to call me and tell me?" cried Rachel. "Seb, how could you" she continued as she sobbed. "Everything is ruined now"
"It's not ruined" replied Sebastian, looking to her with a small smile and shaking his head. "I'm sure there are other places we could get married"
"Not now" said Rachel, shaking her head. "Not at this late time, everywhere will have been booked out for months"
"Who said anything about getting married here in New York" replied Sebastian, with a small laugh and Rachel just looked at her fiancé as if he were even mad to suggest that they would possibly get married anywhere but there. "Remember when we first got engaged, and were talking about where we would possibly marry?" he asked, and Rachel looked to him shaking her head and he gave a small sigh. "I suggested Tennessee, where I grew up, and you said that could be a possibility"
"Tennessee" said Rachel, with a laugh. "Sebastian, I'm a Broadway star" she continued, looking to him. "I can't possibly get married in Tennessee"
"Well I don't know Rach" he replied, looking to her. "Where else are we going to be able to get in such short notice here in New York"
"They can just cancel someone else's wedding and put on ours instead" she replied, with a nod; and Sebastian looked to her with a small laugh.
"And if someone had demanded that of our wedding?" he asked. "How would you feel?"
"Well I'd tell them they couldn't do it" replied Rachel, looking to her fiancé. "But I'm much more important than just anyone getting married. I'm famous"
"I don't think it works that way" said Sebastian, shaking his head. "And besides think about how beautiful it would be to get married, in the country and have the wedding photos there with all the trees in spring bloom"
"And just where would this wedding, hypothetically be held?" she asked, looking to him. "Do you have any idea on that?"
"Well no, not off the top of my head" replied Sebastian, looking to her with a small smile. "But how about you go to Tennessee; where I am from" continued Sebastian, as Rachel looked to him. "It's Thursday now, and then I can come and join you tomorrow night and we can work all weekend on finding the perfect location for our wedding"
"I guess, I am free at the moment" replied Rachel, with a small nod. "Since I am between shows and waiting to hear back if I have been successful in getting the role in My Fair Lady"
"Yes" said Sebastian, with a nod as well. "And it also gives you a chance to get the feel of the town without me as well there" he continued. "See what you think and we can then go over ideas once we both are there together, tomorrow evening"
"Okay, I'll have a look" replied Rachel. "But I am not holding out any promises that I will even like it for holding out wedding"
"Just as long as you give it a chance Rach" replied Sebastian, with a smile to her and quickly kissing his fiancée; before they said their goodbyes and she left, heading home to book a flight and head to Sebastian's home state of Tennessee.

Having gone home and packed, and booked a flight to Nashville, Tennessee; on the flight over, Rachel took the time to see if there were any wedding planners in the area of where her fiance grew up, and found that on the Main Street; that there was indeed a wedding planner, with the aptly name of 'Tie the Knot'; and after hiring a car for herself, headed into the main part of the town where her fiancé had grown up and finding herself a park; upon locating the business, walked into the small office and saw a girl, possibly around the same age as her, seated at a desk and she looked up as the chime to advise someone that was in the office sounded, and gave Rachel a smile.
"Hello welcome to Tie the Knot" she said, as she appeared to quickly save the work that she was doing and stood up. "I'm Mikki" she continued walking towards Rachel. "How can I be of help to you today?"
"Hi" replied Rachel, ignoring the hand that Mikki held out to her. "My name is Rachel Berry, and I am possibly wanting to be getting married here in this little town of yours" she continued, as Mikki gave a nod, with a polite smile even though she hated already the way the potential client was calling her place of residence that of just a little town. "And I therefore require your assistant in possibly doing this"
"Well I can certainly help" replied Mikki, with a nod as she went back around to her desk and picked up what appeared to be a planner. "And when would you be wanting to get married?"
"In two weeks time" said Rachel, with a nod and Mikki looked to her before letting out a laugh.
"Two weeks" she replied. "I'm afraid that's going to be quite impossible"
"It can't be impossible" said Rachel, shaking her head. "How many weddings can you possibly hold here" she continued, and not seeing Mikki going to interject continued to talk. "My wedding, all of it was already organized for two weeks time, but the place where my fiancé and I were to marry has had an unfortunate fire and therefore we can no longer marry there"
"That's terrible, I'm so sorry" replied Mikki, giving her a small smile. "So therefore, really all you will be needing will be a venue then here is that correct?"
"Yes, and it has to be to a very high standard" said Rachel, with a nod. "I'm a Broadway actress, and my fiancé a lawyer" she continued as Mikki looked to her rolling her eyes ever so slightly and now seeing as to why the girl before her was ever so dramatic. "So we want nothing but the best"
"With such a short period of time" said Mikki, with a small sigh. "It's going to be quite difficult"
"Well your website had glowing reports of you being the best" said Rachel, looking to her. "And that is what I need you to be, the best" she continued. "And also as well for the next two weeks if you are to be planning my wedding, give me your undivided attention"
"I'm also afraid that is not possible" replied Mikki, shaking her head. "This is one of my busiest times" she continued, as Rachel looked to her with a scoff. "And I have the weekend of your maybe wedding, two other weddings; one on the Friday evening and another on the Saturday"
"That does not seem busy to me" replied Rachel, as Mikki gave a small sigh; just wishing that this girl before he had not ever now come into her office.
"Clearly you have not much of idea of what a wedding coordinator actually does" said Mikki. "So I will ignore your remarks" she continued. "And however advise you that, there are not many choices at this late time to hold a wedding"
"My fiancé said something about this being a cute little country town" replied Rachel, as Mikki once again looked at her incensed by the comment of her home being that of little. "And whilst I'm sure you don't have the fine establishments we have in New York" she continued. "You will be able to find something that will work for our wedding"
"I think I have just the place" said Mikki, with a small smile; a plan forming in her mind. "And we've held quite a few weddings there, and they have all been so magical and beautiful" she continued, thinking about how she once had dreamed of getting married to her high school love before he moved away to college. "My parents' have a beautiful estate on fifty acres; and they've held many weddings there and everyone has always been very pleased with the way it's turned out"
"This is a farm?" asked Rachel, crinkling her nose and looking to Mikki with almost that of disdain. "You think I would get married on a farm?"
"And why not" replied Mikki, with a smile to her and grabbed that of an album from her desk, placing down her planner. "This is a photo book that I have done up of their property; with that of various weddings held at it" she continued and showing it to Rachel. "And as you can see it's quite beautiful what can be done"
"Hmm, I guess there is some sort of charm to it" said Rachel, looking to the photo book. "But I will need to see the property first before I decide"
"Sure, I can arrange that" replied Mikki, with a nod. "Is your fiancé by any chance able to view as well?"
"He will be flying in tomorrow evening" said Rachel, with a nod also. "So if you are able to show us Saturday then?"
"Saturday, I have a wedding in the evening" replied Mikki, placing the photo book down and picking her planner up and looking over it. "I do have the morning free though, and can show the property then"
"Yes, okay that will be wonderful" replied Rachel, with a nod; as Mikki picked up her business card off her desk and on the back wrote the address of her parent's property on it.
"Is ten o'clock an okay time for you?" asked Mikki, quickly looking up to her as Rachel replied with a "Yes" and Mikki then nodded handing the card over to her. "Well I will see you and your fiancé" she said with a smile to her. "Who I look very much forward to meeting also" she continued, wondering what possible guy would ever want to marry the girl before her now. "At my parents' property, ten o'clock Saturday morning"
"I will see you then, yes" replied Rachel, and without saying even a goodbye, turned on her heels and left the office; and Mikki laughed to herself shaking her head, praying that for some small fate that the girl who had just left would not like her parents property or any of her ideas, and blow out of town as quickly as she blew in.
But little did Mikki know that, that was not going to happen and her world was about to be turned upside down in the worst possible way.
End Note: An unlikely pairing, indeed - in that of Sebastian and Rachel. However I think you all know me well enough now, to know just who the end game will be here.
Thanks for reading, and I will catch you all on the flip side soon!
Love always,
