A.N.: Sorry took so long to update! Arg, just ideas aren't always easy to come up with, as I'm sure you all know. Anyway, reception time!
YAY! PARRTAAAY!! ha...sure in the normal world, but we all know that nothing is ever perfect in Btvs. So why should this be? hehe
*Personal thought*, action taking place
-I decided to have Willy, the bartender in the show, be the drink provider for the wedding, since he knows what humans and demons and
vampires like. I don't really know a lot about him, or the character, so...I'll just see what I can do.
-In this chapter there's gunna be speeches from pplz to the bride and groom, and so on! I'm not gunna use so much of the personal
thoughts during the speeches, cuz I wanna keep this happy, and of course, not all of the pplz in the party like everyone, so ya. -Enjoy
Speeches and Cake
Spike's date Priscilla set down her martini glass, and said, "Another Bloody Mary."
"Comin right up, Miss," Willy replied to the pale, but mysteriously beautiful woman in front of him. "With or without blood?"
"With blood, human blood," Priscilla stated before turning around and looking out into the crowd. The bar was in the one of
the corners of the room so she had a great view. She stared at a pair of Vengence Demons sitting in front of her and listened to their
conversations. "I wonder why on earth it's taking so long for the pictures to be done," the one demon with fiery red hair in a purple dress asked
the other.
"Oh, you know these humans, they're just very, very into how things look, because they know of all of their imperfections,"
the brown haired one said.
Priscilla snickered and was about to go and speak to them, until the doors were flung open. Suddenly, the wedding
partied piled into the reception room, and everyone went straight to their seats, starving, and ready to eat. The wedding party sat up on a long
platform, facing all of the tables and the dance floor. The bride and groom were to be seated in the middle of the table, but they were at the time,
by the cake, on a smaller table in front of the wedding party's seats.
They all sat down, and waited for the speeches from the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
"Traditionally, the speeches are only given by family and the best man and maid of honour, but I wanted to have speeches
from all of my friends. And since this is my wedding, I got what I wanted!" Anya smiled happily and turned to Giles who was ready to give his
speech.
"Um, well, yes. I'd just like to say that I wish the best to both of you. I've known you for quite some time, Xander and I am
sure that you and Anya will be happy. I love both of you dearly, and again, wish you the best of luck," Giles nervously said, while cleaning his
glasses.
"Well, Anyanka, this is it, the day we've never dreamed of. You know, I never thought of you as the marrying type, so I never
really thought that I'd marry. But this, this experience has filled me with wonder. Maybe love isn't so horrible after all, and marriage isn't
always a terrible thing. So, I hope you are happy married to your man with hairy forearms" Halfrek tearfully said to Anya, who was
fighting to not cry.
"Xander, I know that your father and I are not the best example of a happily married couple, but I do believe that you and
Anya have a chance. Fight for it son, we're both very happy for you today, and we are pleased to have Anya be a part of our family," Mr. and
Mrs. Harris smiled a genuine smile, which was more than Xander could have ever asked for.
"Ah, yes, as Xander's parents said, that you are a part of their family now, the same goes for you, Alexander Harris. You will
now be a part of ours. We will invoke no vengence on you, as long as you keep Anyaka happy. And strangely enough, I believe that you
very well could," D'Hoffryn's voice faltered, as he looked at Anya. His beloved ex-vengence demon. Nothing could have ever kept him from
loving her as if she were his own flesh and blood.
"Wow, this is just wow. Xander, you're married now. I remember one time, I was having dreams that were kinda strangely
coming true, and you asked me if I saw you with a boatload of money and the love of a woman. Well, I didn't, but I had a feeling that you
would. Maybe you don't own a yacht, or a mansion, but the apartment that you bought Anya is great. You guys are financially secure, so
I think that works with the money questions. And the love of a woman, well obviously you've got a great woman who loves you. Anya,
I know I'm not always nice, and everything, but I try, you know that. And I do like you. You're my friend, and I'm just so glad that Xander
makes you happy, and that you make him happy. You two had better stay together, cuz, well, you're my light at the end of the tunnel. So,
don't let it go out, okay?" Buffy's voice faltered softly, wiping a tear from her eye, while Anya started sobbing quietly. Nearly everyone was teary
eyed hearing what Buffy said.
"Um, I not really sure what I should say. I'm not bestest of friends with either of you, but you and the scoobies are sorta like
the close friends I never really had. If you two being together makes you happy, then by all means be together. Whelp, don't mistreat the girl.
She's a good girl, and Anya, you know that Xander is a good guy. So, I'm just givin my best to you guys, the happy couple and blah blah. You
know the drill, good luck, many years to come," Spike moved his arm around, while he quickly finished up. *Why did I say Xander's a good guy?*
It was true though, they were the best friends he had. However, he didn't notice Buffy watching him, even after he sat down.
Tara and Dawn both stood up, because Tara was a bit too nervous to speak, so she let Dawn do all of the talking.
"This is so cool! Everything is great, and I'm so excitied that you guys are married! So is Tara, and we're just glad that everything
worked out! We love you guys!" Dawn said happily and everyone smiled.
"Xander, there was a time when I was writing my wedding vows to you, ya know. By the time I was nine, I had my dress
picked out and everything. I wanted our wedding to be at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World, and I was gunna wear Cinderella's dress. Hehe.
Lucky I found Tara when I did, or that could be going on now. Willow and Tara exchanged a smile But it's not, and that's fine. So, since I'm
not Mrs. Alexander LaVelle Harris, I'm glad that Anya is. Anya, I know there's been some rivarly between us, and I'm gunna work to make it go
away, but just be good to him. That's all I'm asking. Xander snickered and smirked at Anya Ah-ha! Don't think I'm not gunna say something
to you to, Mister! You had better be good to Anya, or I will personally kick your butt! Best wishes, you guys!" Willow smiled, as everyone
laughed.
Once the lovely dinner of, angel hair pasta and parmersean chicken was done, it was finally cake time. Everyone was very
excited about that. The cake was rolled up on a circular table covered by a silk white cloth.
It truly was a lovely castle cake. There were five layers, going up, each got smaller. On the top, there was a little Xander and
Anya figurines. The cake was sprinkled with silver sprinkles, on each layer. There were gaps inbetween the layers, filled with white roses.
The cake was white, with pink icing roses all over. There were also edible pearl-like decorations on it, as well. Anya and Xander cut the
cake together, and prepared to feed eachother. Anya had a devilish grin on her face as she shoved it, all over his mouth, and Xander did the same. Everyone laughed, even the demons, who did not really understand why this happened.
It was just obvious to everyone in the room that this couple was about the happiest in the world, at the time. Anya and Xander gave eachother
a cake-filled kiss, and there were camera flashes coming from everywhere in the room.
Everyone ate the vanilla cake, it was laced with chocolate as well. Tara and Willow sat beside eachother, after
convincing their male partners to let them. They fed eachother cake, and talked. Xander and Anya ate in a comfortable silence, secretly
holding hands under the table. They were playing footsey under the table too. Everyone was happy, except for Buffy and Spike, who sat there
rigidly, trying to stay far away from eachother, despite their proclamations of friendship in the limo. The photo session was way too intense,
so they just had their cake, and paid as little attention to eachother as possible.
