Epilogue
"From this Moment On" belongs to Shania Twain. It just

"So where are the bride and groom?" Cordelia asked Willow. The
rest of the wedding party had made it to the reception, now they
were waiting for the guests of honor.
"They're still doing wedding pictures, the ones with just them,"
Willow said. "How's the baby handling all the excitement, Mom?"
she grinned.
Cordelia looked down at her growing belly. "Our baby's kicking
constantly, actually. I have a feeling she is going to be
stubborn like her father."
"I beg to differ," Doyle said, walking up behind her and
wrapping his arms around her. "If our _son_ is stubborn, it will
be all thanks to his mother."
Willow laughed. "Well, I see that you two have survived married
life for the past three months, at least. And if you two can
make it without killing each other, there's hope for couples
everywhere."
"They're coming, guys," Xander mentioned, with Anya in tow. They
found their seats as Buffy and Angel walked in, announced by the
DJ.
"Are we really here?" Buffy asked, looking up at her husband.
"Yes, My Love," Angel bent down to whisper in her ear, and
kissed her on the cheek. "We finally made it."
"Okay, but if you're wrong and it's a dream, I never want to
wake up," Buffy said.
"It's not a dream, Buffy. We have the rest of our lives to make
each other happy," he said with a smile. He led her to their
table with the rest of the wedding party: Doyle his best man,
Willow her maid of honor, and the rest of the Scooby Gang,
including "honorary members" Wesley and Charlotte. Charlotte had
been surprised when Buffy had asked her. Buffy had told her that
she admired her as a fellow Slayer, not to mention that with all
Charlotte had done to help them earlier that year in dealing
with Adam, she considered Charlie a friend. Giles had walked her
down the aisle, which had seemed right. He'd been a father to
her, since the moment she arrived in Sunnydale.
Buffy looked over at her mother, she was still crying. "Oh
stop!" Buffy laughed and walked over to hug her.
"Sorry. I'm just so happy," Joyce said.
"I am too," Buffy said with a smile as she sat next to her
husband.

Fifteen minutes later
The DJ announced the first dance of the bride and groom, and
Angel and Buffy made their way out to the dance floor. She was
curious, he'd asked her to let him choose the song, and she'd
agreed. Then, to her annoyance, he'd refused to let her know
what he'd picked.
She looked up at him, beaming, as the first notes of the song
played. He was such a hopeless romantic, sometimes.
"I take it you like?" Angel asked, his eyes twinkling as he
smiled down at her.
"I like a lot," she agreed. "I don't think I could've found a
better one."
"I'm glad you approve," Angel said as he bent his head to kiss
her. He pulled her close and they began to dance.
//From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on//
She rested her head on his chest, and relaxed into his arms.
This was their day, and nothing would spoil it. Willow had done
a spell or two to ensure that their would be no demonic
interruptions. Buffy smiled, it was very useful to have a witch
for a friend sometimes.
//From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I Iive
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on//
She looked up at him, and said, "I love you, husband." He
smiled, "I love you too, wife," he kissed her again. "Forever."
//You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on//
