[pic] "I Do"
Buffy had been waiting for this day what seemed like her whole life. She was a freshman in college and Angel had asked her to marry him in a graveyard almost a year ago. Since then they had moved into together and Angel had gotten a job, now that he was human he could do a lot of things. Buffy had been so happy ever since Angel had asked her. Her mother wasn't so happy but still supported her daughter and her friends all except Xander were happy too. Even Xander soon accepted it.
"Hey Buffy," Willow walked into the room
"Hey Willow I don't know how I am gonna do my hair for the wedding," Buffy said flipping threw the hair magazine.
"Buffy the wedding is next Monday and you don't know how your gonna do your hair," Willow said nervously
"That's the only thing left that I need to do everything else is taken care of," Buffy said calming down her friend.
"Ohh alright then," Willow sat next to Buffy and pointed to a page, "Ewe I like that one."
"That's the one I thought I'd get," Buffy said. The picture had a woman with her hair in a French twist with two strands spiraled in the front and the hair hanging down from the twist was also spiraled.
"Your gonna look beautiful," Willow said closing the book
"Gosh Willow I'm getting married," Buffy said in amazement, " and to Angel!"
Just as Buffy said Angel he walked into the room.
"Huh?" Angel said answering Buffy
"Ohh nothing," Buffy said as she got on to her knees and leaned over the back of the couch to give her future husband a kiss.
"You've picked your hairstyle out," Angel asked seeing the book on the table
"Yeah but you don't get to see it," Buffy said moving the book out of his reach
"And why is that," Angel asked playfully
"Cuz its bad luck," Buffy kissed Angel again and pulled him down onto the couch. Willow took that as her queue to leave. She got up and shut the door behind her.
Buffy and Angel walked into a church, the church they would get married in a couple of days. It was beautiful!
"Hello," a reverend approached the couple, "I am going to be performing your marriage."
"It's nice to meet you," Angel said holding his hand out. Buffy did the same.
They got the tour. Buffy was shown where she would be getting ready and Angel was shown where he'd be getting ready.
"Will you two be doing your own vowels?" The Rev. asked
They looked at each other and then back at the Reverend, "Yes."
After going threw what would happen they left. Angel had planned a picnic for Buffy at the park.
Angel laid the blanket down and Buffy sat the basket on the blanket. They sat down an opened the basket.
"This is so perfect Angel," Buffy said pulling out a plate for him and then herself
"I know it's a nice day out," Angel took the plate from her and smiled
"I don't just mean the picnic I mean this everything is so perfect in a couple days I'll be Mrs.… Mrs.… What is your last name?" Buffy asked feeling embarrassed because she didn't even know her fiancées last name.
"Well before I was changed I was Liam O'Connor so I guess you'll be Mrs. O' Connor," Angel said as a smile came across his face. He leaned over the basket and gave Buffy a kiss.
"Hmm… this is good," Buffy said kissing Angel again
Buffy had asked Giles to give her away because her father didn't want part in her wedding. He thought she was making a mistake. Anyway Giles had been more of a father to her than her real father had. When her father had told her that he wasn't coming she called Giles and asked him. He was flattered and or coarse said he would. It was the day before Buffy and Angel's wedding and everything had gone great at the practice so they were sitting pretty.
Xander, Oz, and Giles asked Buffy if they could steal Angel for awhile. Buffy let them. They were going to throw Angel a bachelors party! Buffy nor Angel were informed of this. Xander, Oz, and Giles blindfolded Angel and put him in Oz's van.
"Hey guys… where are we going," Angel asked a little nervous
"You'll see Dead Boy," Xander told him
"Is this gonna make Buffy mad?" Angel asked
"Awe don't worry about her she was a lot of stuff to do before tomorrow," Xander said
"Hey maybe we shouldn't let him drink you know he'd have a hangover for his wedding," Oz whispered
"Yeah okay no drinking but there will be stripping," Xander whispered back
Xander was right Buffy was super busy and she was almost glad Angel was out of the house. Cordy was giving her a facial, pedicure, and a manicure. Joyce went to pick up the bride's dress and the bridesmaid dresses so the girls could grab them and go tomorrow. They decided that the Scooby gang and Joyce would spend the night at Buffy and Angel's place. Buffy and Angel would take different cars so they wouldn't see each other at all. They were even gonna sleep in different rooms. Willow was calling everyone to make sure that the flowers were right and to make sure everything was perfect. Buffy was swamped.
"Gosh I am so nervous," Buffy said
"Shh… if you talk you'll crack the mask," Cordy said. Cordy had some of her people from the salon come to Buffy and Angels place to help Buffy out alittle. Kinda her wedding gift.
Xander, Angel, Oz, and Giles all walked into the club. Xander pulled the blindfold off of Angel.
"Surprise!" They yelled in unison
"Wow," was all Angel could say. He was afraid that if Buffy found out he'd be dead. Angel finally loosened up but no too much he didn't want to do something he'd regret. They all had a pretty good time. They slipped into the mansion at about 1:30 they knew that it was getting late and they had along day ahead of them. They tiptoed but of coarse Cordy heard them.
"Why hello," Cordy said turning on the lights
"Shh be quite," Xander said putting a finger to his lips
"Where's Buffy," Angel asked
"She doesn't want to see you," Cordy answered matter-of-factly
"What?" Angel asked surprised
"Ohh you know the whole bad luck thing," Cordy said
"Ohh," Angel sighed with relief
Alarm clocks went off all over the house waking everyone up. It was 5:30 in the morning. Buffy got up and threw on some sweatpants and a tee shirt. Willow stepped outside the bedroom door and made sure Angel was still in his room. When she was sure is was clear she signaled for Buffy to go. Buffy ran out of the door and right before she got out of the door Angel came out of his room with Xander and Oz.
"Buffy?" Angel said still sleepy
Buffy ducked behind the couch, "Go away!"
"Why?" Angel asked
"You can't see me yet, its bad luck and we don't need any bad luck today," Buffy said from behind the couch, "Now go back to your room until Willow comes and gets you." He knew that Buffy wouldn't give up so he went back into the room. Buffy peaked over the couch and when she saw that the door was shut she made a mad dash to the door. She walked outside with Cordy and Joyce to the limo that was waiting to take them to the church. Willow told Angel that him and the rest of the guys could come out now, then she ran outside and hoped in with the other girls. Angel, Giles, Oz, and Xander came out of the bedroom and locked up and then left. They to had a limo.
When they got to the church the driver waited down the street until he saw that Buffy was inside the church and then he pulled up and let the men off.
"Nervous yet?" Giles asked Angel
"A little but I know that this is gonna be the best thing I've ever done," Angel said as he walked into his room he was supposed to get ready in.
"All I can say is Angel you better take good care of her cuz if not well I probably can't beat you up but I can give you dirty looks until it eats you up," Xander said. They all laughed. Angel was glad that Xander lightened the mood alittle.
"Buffy are you nervous," Willow asked her friend threw the little dressing room door
"Not really," Buffy said as she came out in her wedding dress
"Wow Buffy you look amazing," Willow was almost speechless. Buffy looked beautiful. He dress was off the shoulder very classical it fit her well. Just then Cordy and the hairdresser.
"Wow Buffy you clean up nice," Cordy said for the 1st time ever complimenting Buffy
"Thanks Cordy," Buffy said as she sat down ready to let the hairdresser do her magic, Buffy pulled out the picture of what she wanted her hair to look like and the hair dresser got to work. It took an hour but when it was done it look beautiful. The last touch was the vale. It was a band in the front and the actual vale was hanging down in the back. Willow and Cordy went to change into their dresses when someone knocked at the door.
"Willow come get it," Buffy said as she ran to hide. Willow answered the door it wasn't Angel but it was Buffy's dad.
"Mr. Summers, come in," Willow opened the door wider so he could come in. Buffy stepped out of the back room.
"Dad?" Buffy said
"Buffy I'm sorry but I couldn't let you get married without me being here," her father said
"Dad I already have someone walking me down the aisle," Buffy said afraid of breaking her dads heart
"That's okay Buffy by saying I didn't want to come I gave up that right," Her dad seemed okay with it, "Buffy you look beautiful."
"Thanks daddy," Buffy went over to her father and hugged him.
"Okay enough father daughter bonding time," Joyce grabbed her ex husbands arm and led him out of the room.
It was time! Buffy had never been so nervous in her life! Angel was waiting at the altar. The music began, queuing Buffy and Giles.
"It's now or never," Buffy said looking up at Giles
"Buffy I know that I'm not your father but today I feel like you are my daughter," Giles said with tears coming from his eyes
"Ohh no don't cry! You'll get me started and I look really bad with runny mascara," Buffy said jokingly. They started the walk down the aisle. Angel and Buffy made eye contact. From that moment on it didn't seem like anyone else was in the room with them. Everyone could feel the love between them. When it was time for Giles to hand Buffy over to Angel he kissed her forehead and gave Angel her hand. Buffy looked over at her father and he smiled and gave her thumbs up. Buffy looked back at Angel. His eyes were full of love. She smiled. When it came time for them to say their vowels Angel started…..
"Buffy I knew I loved you before I knew you, and from the moment I met you I knew that I was put on this earth to love and protect you, and I plan to do that until my dying day. And I promise you that I will always be there for you. You will never cry unless I am there. I will be your hero, your strength, anything you need. I will shield your heart from the rain, I will let no harm come your way. If there is a mountain to move, I will move that mountain for you I love you Buffy." Angel said as he slipped the ring on her finger. It was Buffy's turn.
Buffy looked up into Angel's eyes, "Now I know why they say the best things are free. How you changed my world you'll never know. I'm pretty sure that you were spent here from above to watch over me. You're my Angel and I've loved you forever and lifetimes before. We've been threw hell together and I give you my word, I give you my heart, this is a battle we've won. We can finally be together! I give you my heart, my soul, and my love forever. I love you Angel."
"By the power vested in me by the state of California I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride," The reverend said. Those are the word that Angel and Buffy had waited their whole lives for. They turned to walk out of the church just realizing that they weren't the only ones there. They walked down the aisle with Willow and Oz behind them and then Cordy and Xander behind them. Joyce and Mr. Summers go up and left behind their daughter and new son-in-law. Buff and Angel walked out of the church and stopped in front of the limo. Angel bent down and pulled up Buffy's dress to revel her leg. All the gentlemen from the wedding got in a group behind Buffy and Angel. Angel softly touched Buffy's leg. It was so gentle Buffy shivered. His hands went down her leg pulling off her garner. He took it over Buffy's foot and then threw in out into the group. Out of all the guys there Xander caught it. Now it was Buffy's turn she took her bouquet and turned her back to the crowd and tossed it and out of all the girls Willow caught it, how funny. Willow looked over at Oz who was smiling. Buffy looked over at Cordy and Xander who were kissing and laughing. Everything was right. Her parents were even talking!! She was getting ready to go away with Angel for a week in paradise. Angel and Buffy said their good-byes and climbed into the limo that took them to the airport.
"Angel we did it," Buffy said smiling
"I know we are married," Angel said pulling Buffy onto his lap
"This should be a fun week, huh?" Buffy giggled
"I think so," Angel said as he kissed Buffy
"It's over we did it!!" Buffy said stopping the kiss
"No Buffy I think it just started," Angel said as he push the button to make the window go up between the driver and the backseat.
"Why'd ya do that?" Buffy said playfully
"Hmm I don't know," Angel said kissing Buffy
