The reception had been going on for a while. Buffy and Angel had taken
professional pictures in the gardens while they waited for their guests to
get to the reception area. They had arrived to a big introduction and then
dinner had been eaten in a huge white tent with a buffet and people serving
them all sorts of delicious food. There were four buffet tables in a
connecting tent with food from France, Italy, Ireland, and the United
States. The main tent had a huge dance floor in the front of it and tables
surrounding it. A DJ was set up in the corner and the light music that had
been going on stopped as he got on the microphone.
"Ok, sorry to interrupt the lovely festivities," the DJ said. "But the bride and groom need to have their first dance as newlyweds." Buffy and Angel stood and made their way to the dance floor. "The maid of honor has chosen a song that fits this beautiful couple perfectly." He started the song as Buffy and Angel began to sway.
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
"Are you happy?" Angel asked.
"More than I've ever known. Can we keep this night going? Just the two of us?" Buffy said dreamily.
"Whatever you want." Angel kissed her forehead. "You're the most stunning person here."
"Of course silly, I'm the bride."
"Ah, no wonder." He pulled her closer to him.
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Buffy rested her head against Angel's chest and sighed. This was the most content she had ever been. There was only one thing missing: her mother.
"What are you thinking about?" Angel asked.
"Mom. I miss her so much."
"I miss her too. She'd be the most proud person here. Not even your father would be more proud."
"You think?"
"I know. You're father doesn't know that you're a Slayer and I'm a vampire and he doesn't know the circumstances like your mother did. She knows that you deserve this after all you've been through."
"I love you Angel."
"I love you Buffy."
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun..
"Forever.. Good word." Buffy said.
"Yeah, it is."
"If only we did have forever."
"Are you having second thoughts?"
"No! Never! I love you Angel. This is where I belong. Even after I'm dead.. Again."
Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..
"Willow picked a great song." Angel said.
"You like NSYNC?" Buffy asked amazed.
"They're ok. Not the music I love, but hey.."
"You're just shifting to the 21st century NOW?"
"Ha ha. Very funny."
"What can I say? I'm a funny gal."
Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all..
"Isn't that line true?" Buffy asked. "If it weren't for you I'd be a dead shell right now."
"What?"
"If it weren't for you Angel, I'd be a hallowed out shell of me. After I came back, it was so terrifying. I'm still not the same, but because of you I'm pretty damn close."
"You would have had Dawn to live for."
"Just like you?"
"Point taken."
And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby
"They know my nickname!" Buffy said.
Angel laughed. "Baby, how much champagne have you had?"
"A glass.. Or two."
"Wine?"
"None."
"Beer?"
"None. You?"
"Same. The wine tastes pretty good though."
"I'll just steal some of yours then."
"And I'll steal some of your champagne."
"Works for me. It's all 50/50 now right? By California law, you own half of everything now."
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no....)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
"Awe, it's over. I don't want it to be over." Buffy said.
"We can make more happy moments like this later."
"Is that a promise?"
"Every word I say is true. This I promise you. Ooh, I promise you.." Angel sang quietly as the rest of the song finished. Buffy smiled and kissed Angel deeply.
"Let's give it up for Mr. And Mrs. Callaghan." The DJ said, clapping along with the audience. "Now, I know there's someone out there very special to the bride other than her new husband. It's time for the bride's father, Mr. Summers, to get out here and share a dance with his daughter. This song fits this exact occasion. It's called "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlise." The DJ said as Hank walked up to Buffy and started to dance to the song.
There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven, and she's Daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, oh but most of all..
"Thank you for giving me away Daddy." Buffy said.
"I couldn't have given you to a better man." Hank said.
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony Daddy, it's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny Daddy, but I sure tried
Oh with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night..
"This has been the happiest day of my life."
"I just want you to be happy for the rest of your life. That's all I ever wanted for you Buffy: to be happy."
"I am Dad. There's no one in this world who can make me as happy as Angel does."
Sweet sixteen today
She's looking like her Mama, a little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember..
"You look absolutely stunning. I can't figure out if it's the dress or the man you just married that's making you look so beautiful."
"I think it's both. Plus I put on this stuff I heard MTV say they put on Jennifer Lopez to make her glow."
Hank laughed. "You always did have your mother's sense of humor. I just wish she were here to see her little girl marry the man she loves."
Buffy sighed. "She is here Dad. She's in here." Buffy patted her chest.
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
You know how much I love you Daddy, but if you don't mind
I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time.
With all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time,
Oh, like the wind the years go by.
Precious butterfly,
Spread your wings and fly...
"I wish I had been a better father to you."
"You have been Dad."
"No, I haven't. I wasn't there when your mother died. I wasn't even there while she was in the hospital. I was barely there for you most of your life."
"It doesn't matter. Coming here today makes amends for all those times. When I thought about how you weren't going to be here, I was hurt beyond what I thought I would be. That just goes to show that you did something right somewhere along the line."
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asks me what I'm thinking, and I said I'm not sure.
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl,
And she leaned over and
Gave me butterfly kisses with her Mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
Walk me down the aisle Daddy, it's just about time.
Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy?
Daddy, don't cry.
"The song's almost over." Hank said. "Then you can go back to your new husband and be happy."
"I'll always be happy. I've got you as my dad. Angel has made me see that you're a wonderful man."
"How did he do that?"
"You should talk to him about his father. You'll understand."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right.
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses,
I couldn't ask God for more, than this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses..
"Let's give it up for Buffy and her dad!" the DJ said as the song finished. Everyone clapped as Angel came back out and reclaimed his girl. "Now everybody up and dance!" The DJ started to play "Celebrate." A lot of people got up and started to dance. Angel actually danced. Buffy's back was pressed up against his chest and they moved back and forth to the rhythm.
The rest of the reception went by in a big blur. Before they knew it, it was time to cut the cake. Buffy and Angel had picked out a four-tier cake with real red and white rose buds. The cake itself was half chocolate, half vanilla.
Buffy turned to the guests. "Angel and I would really like to thank you all for coming. I personally want to send my biggest thanks to my best friends Willow, Xander, Tara, and Giles. You guys have been so great. Back in high school, I remember that when Angel.. came back, you guys weren't very happy about it. After all that stuff that happened. You guys were sort of rooting for him to leave Graduation day. But you found it in your hearts to give him a chance. And now we're all one big happy family. And dad, I really want to thank you for being here. You almost didn't get to come, but you pushed for it and almost lost your job. Thank you all."
Hank stepped out of the crowd and raised his glass slightly. "I want to make a toast to my daughter and son-in-law. First off Angel, I want to thank you. My daughter has never looked happier than she does right now standing with you. She was practically glowing as she told you how much she loved you. All those years, watching my little girl grow up, I dreaded this day. The day that another man took her away. But now, I'm full of nothing but pure love and joy for my daughter. Buffy, I remember when you were about 6 years old and you had conned me into playing dolls with you. You told me all about your wedding day. Down to the very last detail. When I asked you who it was you were marrying, you said 'my angel.' Now I don't know if there is a higher power that has a plan for each of us, but fate has been watching over you two. My little girl's all grown up and in love. I'm very proud of you sweetheart." Hank hugged Buffy tightly. She was in tears from her father's speech. The sound of something being lightly struck against crystal caught everyone's attention.
The sound came from Willow banging her fork on her champagne glass. "Hi everyone. As Buffy's best friend and maid of honor, I think I'm supposed to go next. So here goes. Buffy and Angel, there is definitely no two people on this world better matched for each other. I'm proud to be your friend and I hope that it can go on for many, many years longer. Angel, granted I didn't like after all that stuff that went down, you've always been my friend. I think I didn't really like you because you knew a lot more about my best friend than I did. She always went to you in the times of trouble. You better be good to her or else you'll deal with the wrath of Willow." Everyone laughed. "Buffy, you're my best friend. I can honestly say that if I'd never known you, there'd be less of me to know. I'm really sorry for all the crap I've put you through in the last year. You know I didn't mean to, right?" Buffy nodded. "Good. I had only the best of intentions at heart. Anyways, Buffy, truly you are THE best thing for Angel. I wish nothing but happiness for the both of you." Everyone clapped as Buffy and Angel hugged Willow. Xander was supposed to go up next, but he held back. Willow had to shove him up.
"Ok, I'm not very good with the public speaking. Buffy, you should know that. Three years of high school together. Well.. Um.. I guess I'll just say what's on my mind. Guys, I admit that in the past I hated the very thought of you two. I was so in love with Buffy I couldn't see straight. I hated Angel with a fiery passion. But now he's my best guy friend. He's no longer Dead Boy, but just to let you know though, Buffy has friends who love her very much and I'm one of them. If you hurt her in even the tiniest way, your butt's mine! Congratulations! Now Dawn or Giles get up here. You're so not getting out of this."
Giles stepped up. "I guess I can go." He took his glasses off and wiped them down. "Sorry, old habit. Of course.. Old habits can be reminders of good times. Buffy, I've always loved you as if you were my own daughter. Sorry Mr. Summers. I've known you both for seven years now and I've seen the ups and downs you two have been through. I honestly don't think that I could survive some of those downs you two have survived. And as I stand here tonight, I am overcome with joy for both of you. Keep her safe Angel. I've watched her grow into a beautiful woman. She is delicate, no matter how strong she is. She shows her vulnerability to only a few people and this scares her. She has been through so much and there are people out there who want to hurt her by hitting that very vulnerability. Never let that happen Angel. Carry the torch I've been carrying since I first had the honor of becoming her friend."
"Giles?" Angel asked.
"Yes?"
"I've been carrying that torch for years. You can have it back!" Everyone laughed even Buffy who punched Angel's arm lightly.
"Ok, it's my turn now." Dawn said. "Dad's right. In all of my life, I've never seen Buffy happier than when she's with you. When things got really rough, you're the one Buffy ran to for strength, Angel. I don't want her to ever lose that. To have you as my brother is making me jump with glee. I'm just not gonna do it in this dress because Buffy would have a heart attack. Anyways, Buffy.. Even though you're my sister and there's that whole sibling rivalry thing, I love you. And I know that I've been somewhat of a pain most of your life, but you've always been the best sister anyone could ask for. You're my hero and my role model. If there is anyone I want to grow up to be like, it's you. You took me in when Mom died. I can't thank you enough for that. You knew that I didn't want to leave my home and my friends that I had known for six years. To both of you, thank you for being there for me." Dawn smiled and hugged Buffy and Angel tightly.
"Hey Buffy!" Gunn said.
"What's up?" Buffy asked.
"Cut the cake."
Buffy laughed and picked up the knife. She and Angel got a grip on it and cut into the bottom tier together. Angel took the slice and put it on a plate and then they cut another piece. Angel took one piece in his hand and Buffy took the other in hers. They went in to feed each other, but ended up smashing the cake into each other's faces. Willow took pictures of the whole thing. Buffy and Angel were laughing and kissing with the cake all over their faces. Tara handed them each a towel and they quickly wiped each other clean.
"Ok, sorry to interrupt the lovely festivities," the DJ said. "But the bride and groom need to have their first dance as newlyweds." Buffy and Angel stood and made their way to the dance floor. "The maid of honor has chosen a song that fits this beautiful couple perfectly." He started the song as Buffy and Angel began to sway.
