CHAPTER IS A COUPLE MONTHS LATER. THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE THE SAME.
ENJOY!!!!
Two and a half months passed and now Buffy stood in front of the full- length mirror looking at herself. Today was her wedding. She felt butterflies in her stomach. Suddenly she heard the door opened and turned around to see Willow.
"Hey Will" Buffy said.
"Hi, how are you doing?" Willow asked.
"All right, nervous, I mean I shouldn't be nervous, I mean we've already slept together, so we literally know each other in every aspect, I don't know why I'm so nervous" Buffy said.
"Everyone is nervous on their wedding day" Willow said.
"Yeah" Buffy sighed. Her mom entered with Dawn and Cordelia.
"Oh sweetie, you look amazing" Joyce said.
"Thank you, thankfully I'm not that fat yet, so the dress looks okay," Buffy said.
"It looks beautiful," Cordelia said.
"Thanks, okay. . .is it almost time?" Buffy asked anxious.
"Almost, like ten minutes." Joyce said.
"Okay" Buffy said.
"Buffy I'm so happy you found your prince, just like Cinderella" Dawn said.
"Me too" Buffy smiled. She couldn't wait to see Spike. She looked at the clock and it read 12:20. in ten minutes they would be playing the processional and Buffy would walk down the aisle. She looked at her mother, then at her sister, and then at her friends. Some of her bridal party wasn't there yet. "Mom, where's Bridget, Lexi and Ally? You said they were coming."
"They'll be here soon" Joyce assured her daughter.
"And who are they again?" Cordelia asked.
"Just some friends from L.A. I called them like three weeks ago and told them everything and they said they'd be here, Will thank you for being my maid of honor, and Cordy, my matron of honor" Buffy said to them.
"You're welcome sweetie, I'm just so happy for you and Spike my two best friends, getting married" Willow smiled.
"Yeah, it's terrific" Cordelia said. Just then three girls walked into the room. One with blonde hair like Buffy's except it wasn't long like Buffy's. It was above her shoulders and curly. The second girl had brown hair, which was very long to the middle of her back like Buffy's was except it was dark brown. The last girl also had long hair, which was light brown, streaked with auburn.
"Lexi, Ally, Bridget, I'm so happy to see you!" Buffy said as she hugged the three girls.
"Aw, we're happy to see you too Lizzie" one girl, the one with blonde hair said.
"I thought she liked to be called Buffy" Willow whispered to Dawn.
"Oh, that's what she does like to be called, everyone in our family calls her Buffy, they're the only ones that call her Lizzie" Dawn said and rolled her eyes.
"Oh, uh, Bridget, Lexi, Ally, these are my new friends Willow Rosenberg and Cordelia Chase, Cordy, Will these are my other friends, this is Alexis Haskell" Buffy said as she pointed to the girl with light brown hair. "This is Bridget Mandini" she said, pointing to the blonde haired girl. "And this is Allyson Ross" she said as she pointed to the girl with dark brown hair.
"Nice to meet you" Willow said.
"Yeah, charmed" Allyson said in a 'I'm better than you' sort of way. Suddenly the quartet started playing.
"It's time! It's time," Buffy said excitedly.
"Yeah, all right Dawnie, remembered just how we practiced" Joyce said. Dawn was Buffy's flower girl. She went out first, followed by the bride's maids. Finally the quartet played the bride's song and Buffy slowly walked down the aisle accompanied by Xander. Since her father was no show like always she asked Xander to walk her down the aisle and he accepted. When they reached the end of the aisle Xander kissed Buffy on the forehead and stood behind Spike. Xander was also Spike's best man.
"We are gathered here today to join in holy matrimony these two young souls, William Connor Bryson and Elizabeth Anne Summers, please join hands," the minister said and they turned to each other and joined hands. "Today you will join and be husband and wife, who gives this woman to this man today?"
"I do" Joyce said with a smile.
"Please repeat after me, 'I William take you Elizabeth ,'" the minister said.
"I William take you Elizabeth" Spike said smiling.
"'To be my lawfully wedded wife'" the minister said.
"To be my lawfully wedded wife" Spike repeated.
"'In sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, from now and forward, until death parts us'"
"In sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, from now and forward, until death parts us" Spike repeated again. Buffy did the same repeating the same words.
"At this time, William and Elizabeth would like to recite their own vows they wrote especially for each other, William" the minister said.
"Buffy. . .before I met you I don't think I was a good person, and maybe I wasn't, but. . .the moment you came into my life, something inside of me changed, and I said to myself, 'I'm gonna get that girl' and hey obviously I did otherwise we wouldn't be standing here" he said and everyone in the church laughed slightly and Buffy let out a chuckle through tears. "Mistakes were made, and people got hurt and that I regret, but I'll tell you one thing I don't and will never regret, you, I cannot express how much you mean to me, the words I'm spitting don't even come close to how I feel about you, I love you more than anything in life, I never thought in my entire life that I would find someone that you make me feel this way, and knowing that 'you' fell in love with me. . .for the life of me I don't know why, but I'm glad you did, and I thank you for that, Elizabeth I promise to love, cherish and honor this marriage for as long as I live, to love you and our child forever, as long as I'm breathing I will make sure you know how much I love you." Buffy looked at him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Elizabeth" the minister said.
"Spike, I. . .before I met you I was. . .well I don't want to say shallow so I'll just say frivolous" Buffy said and all the guests laughed. "I thought that it mattered, what I wore, my makeup, if my hair was curly, straight, long or short, I was material, material things were the things that were eminent to me, love just seemed like. . .something for me to throw aside and put in my shiny red convertible" she said, which was followed by more laughter. "As I little girl I read fairy tales about the prince who would carry away the damsel and protect her from the world, but I was too stubborn to admit that I needed protecting, that I needed a man, and then I met you and you turned my world into one big fairy tale, you swept me away and I got scared, but I soon realized that it was that very fear that was blowing out the flame, that I needed, that love was leaving and I was doing nothing to stop it and that's when I was forever changed, and I love you so much for changing me, I was headed for the path of loneliness and I was gonna stay that way forever, if it weren't for you, thank you so much William for being my prince."
"With the power vested in my by the state of California I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your beautiful bride" the minister said with a smile and Spike leaned in to kiss Buffy.
"I love you" he whispered.
"I love you too," she whispered back before their lips touched. All the guests clapped as Buffy and Spike made their way back up the aisle and into the horse drawn carriage that awaited them. After being seated in the carriage they made out while it took them to the reception all. Once there they hurried in egger to party.
"Introducing for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. William Bryson, congrats guys," the deejay said happily. They took their seats next to each other.
"Son" Spike's father said and they both turned to him. He had been in England and Buffy had never met him before a couple weeks before the wedding.
"Hey pop" Spike said.
'I just wanted to tell you how happy I am for the both of you" Mr. Bryson said.
"Thanks pop" Spike said.
"Thank you" Buffy said.
"All right, let's get moving" the deejay said. "Newlyweds get your butts over here for the bride and groom dance." Spike and Buffy walked hand in hand to the middle of the dance floor. In Buffy's dream she had requested 'I will always love you' by Whitney Huston, and she decided to choose that one in reality also. As the song played they danced and she closed her eyes as he held her close. She smiled. She couldn't believe she was married to him. They danced and when the song was over he kissed her.
"I love you so much" he said.
"I love you too baby" she said. After the first dance they took their seats again and people started making toasts. First of all Xander.
"All right everyone can I have your attention please, thank you, all right, I haven't known Buffy for long, but I've known Spike my whole life and I'm so happy that he found someone who would fall for his 'I'm bad but sweet act' 'cause he had trouble with that for awhile" Xander said and the guests laughed. "To my old friend and my new one, congratulations guys, I just hope you too have a long and healthy marriage, you both deserve it."
"Thanks bro" Spike said. They partied until like 4:00 in the morning and then Spike and Buffy went to their hotel until they had to catch their plane, which was only a couple hours later. They had to be at the airport at 7:30 to catch the plane at 9:00.
"Baby wake up, come on pet we're going to be late for our plane" Spike said.
"Okay, I'm up" Buffy said as she rolled over and smiled at Spike. "Hey husband."
"Hello wife" he smiled.
"I'm so happy to be married to you" she said.
"I'm so happy to be married to you too baby" he told her and gave her a small kiss on the forehead. "All right, come on" he said. They gathered up all of their things and checked out of the hotel so they could catch their plane. They got to the airport just in time. Once they were on the plane they were more relaxed.
"Tahiti here we come" Buffy smiled.
"Yep, to out honeymoon" Spike said. They spent most of the time sleeping. They were so tired from the reception. Once in Tahiti they checked into the hotel.
"Isn't this beautiful" Buffy said in awe as she looked over the balcony over the city.
"Yeah, it is" Spike said.
"What should we do first?" Buffy asked. Spike smiled seductively and took Buffy's hand.
"Oh, I'm sure I can think of something" he said and led her into the bedroom.
Two and a half months passed and now Buffy stood in front of the full- length mirror looking at herself. Today was her wedding. She felt butterflies in her stomach. Suddenly she heard the door opened and turned around to see Willow.
