Our story
He couldn't really tell you how they had got this point. How this day had finally come to pass. How every dream he had ever made was to be answered in one single word. He couldn't hope to tell you what day it was, he'd probably struggle with the month and just somehow fathom out the year. It was the perfect day, that's all he knew.
The sun was shining on her like a golden halo, like an angel sent from heaven. To Xander that's exactly what she'd always been, that and much more. She was his light in the darkness, his hope in despair and the one girl who'd ever truly ruled his heart. He'd had relationships sure, but they all had seemed somehow hollow in one way or another. He had loved the girl's he'd dated, still did to some degree. It was never enough.
His heart had always belonged here on this day and with this girl.
They'd had their arguments over the years, the stubbornness of each of them fighting for superiority. When all was said and done their experiences both bad and good had led them to the here and now.
Neither of them would change a single thing.
Angel was gone.
Spike was gone.
Anya was gone.
In the darkness they had found each other. Helped each other grieve and mend their broken hearts and bit by bit they had each taken a part of each other's without knowing it.
Willow was long since gone, travelling the globe helping anyone in need with her magic powers that had grown so strong since Sunnydale.
Dawn was at college, she was living her own life, surrounded by like minded individuals studying ancient languages.
Giles was making the world a better place with a new and improved watchers council, better watchers and better slayers were been made every day. The vampire population had never suffered so badly.
Everyone was gone except Buffy and Xander. They both didn't know what to do or where to go and so together they decided to stay with each other. The last remaining members of the Scooby gang were the first ones that were ever initiated.
They slayed together, they ate together and on some rare occasions even dated together. Then one day when Buffy wasn't seeing anybody and Xander was sans relationship, one hot peculiar day in March they had kissed. Blame was laid, words were exchanged but when you took the words out of the equation, when the anxiety of fear was removed, all that remained was them two.
Xander and Buffy stood staring into each other's eyes while the world whizzed passed in a flurry of bright colours and then and there they finally found what both of them had been missing.
The relationship was no picnic, they argued, they fought just like any other couple. Sometimes they got so angry they'd even split up but each time one of them would stand up for the relationship, one of them fought for what they knew in their hearts they'd been looking for their entire lives.
So that brings us to this day, this perfect day. Willow is here, Dawn had flown in specially and Giles was pretending not to cry.
The Scooby gang was back together for this special occasion.
Buffy lifted her veil and smiled.
"I do"
