Set after season 5 however Dawn never existed because Glory stole the Key from the monks at the beginning of season 5 before they could send it to Buffy. Glory needed blood to start the ritual to open the portal to her own dimension so she captured Spike and used him. Xander managed to get to Spike and stake him to stop the end of the world. Everything else in season 5 was exactly the same.
P.S. I am not a Spike hater, so no childish reactions to his absence.

"I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Xander Harris. You may kiss the bride"
With that Xander turned to Anya and kissed her sealing their marriage and their lives together, as the kiss deepened Xander pulled away.
"Honey we're in front of a large group of our friends and family now is not a good time to get all X-rated."
"But we finally took that next step, which is next a car or children? I can't remember."
"In a few years maybe."
Buffy wiped a tear from her eye and turned to see Giles fiddling with his glasses and Willow and Tara looking lovingly at each other. She knew they would love to have a ceremony like this one-day. Ever since Tara had regained her sanity her and Willow had been even more inseparable than before.
"It's time for the wedding photos everyone, outside in front of the Church."

A couple of hours later they were all at the Bronze having a good time, Xander and Anya were dancing in the middle of the dance floor and Willow and Tara were also out there although Buffy couldn't see them.
"Buffy are you ok?" Giles asked
"Yeah I was just watching the happy couple."
"Yes it is nice to see them both happy."
"They need to enjoy it while they can, who knows what's coming next"
"I've been meaning to talk to you about that Buffy."
"Why do I have a feeling I'm not going to like this?"
"The demons that came through the portal need to be dealt with and neither you or I have ever dealt with these types of demon before."
"I know but it's no biggie, nothing Slaygal and her trusty pals can't handle." She smiled winningly "Why'd you bring it up."
"I think you should visit Faith and she should return to Sunnydale."
"I'd rather take a flying leap off a cliff"
"Buffy" he said admonishingly
"She screwed our lives up Giles, why should I go visit her."
"She is going to be released soon because the murder charges have been dropped."
"Why?"
"There was no evidence to put her in the frame for the murder of Allan Finch and the Professor. It seems that while working for the Mayor all the evidence was carefully covered up, the only thing that linked her to the murders was her confession and it was retracted."
"Why'd she retract her confession, constant demands of Big Bertha wearing her down?"
"I told Angel to get her to do it and reason with her that she can do more good out here than stuck in jail. All other copies were erased from the police system by a very helpful Wiccan."
"Willow helped you, why would she do that, she hates Faith?
"I felt she needed a second chance." Willow said as she and Tara made their way over "I knew that she needed help, we all knew she did. I know we never really took to one another but she needed my help and what kind of a person would I be if I didn't give her a chance to redeem herself."
"Ok if Willow's willing to give Faith a second chance I suppose I can to. I'll go to LA tomorrow just make sure that Xander and Anya don't go on honeymoon till I get back."
