Chapter 26
"Come in" Buffy called sweetly.
She was standing in front of the mirror twirling. Willow had insisted on pulling her hair up into a twist and attaching the veil to it. Buffy was now trying to see the job she had done.
"You look beautiful," Angel said coming into the room.
Buffy turned around in shock.
"Angel what are you doing here, where's Spike and why are you wearing a suit"
"It's your wedding day Buffy" Angel said simply.
"No its not Willow and I are just playing, wait how did you know I was even engaged. And why are you wearing a suit"
Angel chuckled. She was really getting worked up.
"You aren't playing dress ups, Spike told me or rather asked my permission. I am wearing a suit so I can walk you down the isle. So are you ready cause there are people waiting"
Buffy sat down in shock.
"Were not playing dress ups?" she asked.
Angel shook his head.
"Spike asked for your permission too"
Angel nodded.
"And I am getting married toady"
Angel sat down next to her.
"Not if you don't want to"
"I love him Angel" Buffy said rather pissed. "Don't try and convince me otherwise"
"I am not," he said holding his arms up in defense. "Spike sent me to walk you down the isle. He told me that if you are not ready for this then that's ok too"
Buffy looked at him shocked.
"So there's a wedding down there for me. Spike planned all of it"
Angel nodded "yeah basically, everyone helped though"
"How many people" Buffy asked
"Well all the gang helped"
"No I mean at the wedding"
Angel frowned. "Umm 20, 30 maybe"
"And its ok if I leave him standing at the alter, in front of that many people " she asked surprised.
"I guess"
"And why are you here again"
"To walk you down the isle"
"I know that but why you?"
"Spike had a talk with me, said that I was the closest thing he had to a father. That you both looked up to me. He asked my permission as his father but also as yours. I guess that's why he wants me to walk you down the isle. So I can finally let you go, like a father does"
"How the hell did you two come to this arrangement I mean the last time I saw you, you were all psycho"
"Look Buffy I am sorry about what I did at the restaurant. The last time I saw Spike before that night, he was trying to kill me, the next he has his tongue down your throat can you understand why I went a bit mental"
Buffy sighed. "Yeah I guess, but we only acted that way cause the way you acted when you turned human"
Angel cringed. "Yeah sorry about that so are we even"
Buffy held her hand. "Yeah I guess, does that mean I get to bitch slap Cordy"
Angel laughed. "I wouldn't, shes what made me say yes"
"Ok well I get to bag her about her outfit at least once ok"
"Alright but don't tell her I have you permission, so are you going to go through with it"
Buffy shrugged. "I don't know I guess I mean I was going to see if I could plan it with in the next 2 weeks"
"Well he has saved you the trouble, and he has been walking around like a wreck thinking he should have waited to plan it with you"
"Really" Buffy asked tears coming to her eyes.
Angel nodded. "Never seen him that nervous"
Buffy stared for a second not really looking at anything. She then stood up and looked at Angel.
"How do I look?" she asked
"Beautiful"
"Good, then lets get this show on the road"
"Your going through with it" he asked.
"Yep" she said confidently.
"Alright, just give me a second," Angel said going to the door.
Buffy went over to the mirror and began making a few touches to her hair and makeup.
Angel opened the door then started waving an arm out of it while watching Buffy. When he didn't hear any response from down stairs he looked out the door. A bouquet of flowers was thrown at him. Angel looked at the flowers in shock then looked down at Cordy.
"Does this mean I am the next bride" he asked.
Cordy just rolled her eyes.
"Is she going to do it"
"Yep just give us a sec"
Cordy dashed off and seconds later the bridal music began to play. Angel turned back to Buffy and handed her the bouquet.
"Ready"
Buffy took a deep breath. "Been ready my whole life"
Angel grabbed Buffys veil and began to lift it over her face. He quickly kissed her on the cheek then lowered the veil completely.
Angel put his elbow out and Buffy lopped her arm through it. They both started towards the door then realized they wouldn't be able to fit through. Angel dropped his arm then walked through the door extending his hand out to Buffy. Buffy took his hand and walked out then re looped her arm again at the top of the stairs. She gasped when she heard the music and saw the banister covered in ribbons. Fresh tears came to her eyes. Buffy and Angel walked down the stairs and walked through the house to the back door. Angel stopped allowing Buffy to look out. She turned to Angel and nodded and took the first step out the door.

Authors Note, short but sweet right. The wedding is next, omg what will happen.
