Buffy awoke to a wonderful, bright clear morning. She got up, stretched and went to the bathroom to take a shower and clean up. For some reason, she was feeling better, even after seeing the dress so many times. She was feeling better by the moment. Though something struck her.
"Okay, for some strange reason, this feels very much like a wedding. But is it?"she thought, questioning. She shook her head and thought of putting that off to the side. Was she prepared for this? She smiled her answer and went on with her day. Once she came out, she saw that dawn, Giles and Andrew were up.
"Giles, one question," she started.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Is this ritaul suppose to be almost.....like a wedding?" she asked.
"I'm sorry Buffy. I should've told you more about this. But yes, it is a wedding. In a sort of different way. I'm so sorry," he replied.
She came over to him and patted him on the back. Then gave him a friendly hug. "It's okay. Sooner or later I was going to be expecting it." Then with a shocking moment, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around.
"Hey, are you okay?" asked Andrew.
"Of course. Why?" she asked. He gave her a hug and stroked her hair.
"Because I am just worried. You know, as a friend." He let go and walked to the side. Buffy walked over to the couch and sat down. She? Getting married? She'll just have to put up with it. At least she was able to be with the one that she did once love. Though how was she going to go through with it? Oh well. She''ll just have to suck it up and live with it.
"I know you're worried. But this is my choice, I have to go through with it now. I know you care for me. And that's what makes a good freind," she said. Andrew sat down beside her.
"i know you didn't want this to happen. I know that you love Spike with your heart and I will approve that. Just promise me that you will always be my closest friend for eternity?" asked Andrew.
"I promise you that," she replied. They giggled and then both went outside to walk around.

"Spike? I was just wondering, what are going to be wearing?" asked Amanda.
"Oh just this. Nothing fancy," he replied.
"Nothing fancy my ass. I'll take you out and get something. My treat," she said. And without hesitation, she grabbed his arm and puled him up the stairs.
*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Buffy,I hope you nderstand that you will always be my best friend. I shall always respect you and care for yo-" said Andrew.
"Andrew, I know you really don't mean those things," interrupted Buffy.
"It may not seem like that. But I truly love you as a friend. You will be my only true friend," he said smiling.
"If you really mean that"
"Of course I do." They continued down the pathway, talking and laughing. That was until Buffy realized what time it was. She and Andrew rushed back to the warehouse and Buffy ranto the washroom. Thankfully Willow was in there and she was able to help her get ready. Buffy slipped on the dress, the shoes and wore a necklace that was her mother's that she has been wearing for the past while for good luck. She stepped out of the stall and Willow grabbed her by the arm to put her in front of the mirror. Willow got right onto her hair, while Buffy did her make-up.
"Willow, are you sure I should be doing this?" asked Buffy.
"Yes of course. You are to be the one who can break this curse that is among you. I mean I think you, another chosen one," replied Willow. The last adjustments were made and Buffy was ready She heading towards the door. Well here we go. I must be ready for this. Well here we go. And she had her hand on the door and began to push it open to find her husband-to-be..............
