Ohhh.....The wedding is here!
A few things I forgot to mention in the last chapter -
+You know that saying about how the bride and groom can't see each other for a whole 24 hours before the wedding. Well Buffy and Angel didn't see each other for 24 hours. Kaylee was their messenger.
+Joyce was pissed and left. (*Thank God*)
+And in this chappie's Angel's last name will be O'Callaghan.
Disclaimer - Nope, I only own Kaylee and the minister. And the others not associated with the BTVS verse. The song "Far Longer then Forever" is from the Swan Princess. I was looking through some old cds of mine and found it. I re-listened to it and I thought this should be in my story!
Anywayz on to the story!

Buffy stood in the church dressing room staring at her self in the mirror. Her hair was pulled back loosely so it gave her a peaceful look. Her dress sleeves were a see-through material and covered her arms like a blanket. The dress clung to her body in all the right places. Buffy smiled. Today was the day. She would become Mrs. Buffy O'Callaghan. The door opened and her daughter walked in.
"You have 5 minutes, mommy." She said. Buffy knelt down to her and they embraced.
"You are so pretty mommy. Daddy is going to go wacky when he sees you!" Kaylee said happily. Kaylee was wearing a light pink dress with the sleeves stopping short of her elbows. Her hair was curled and she looked like a little princess.
"Miss Summers, Kaylee has to walk down the aisle now. Mr. Giles is here to accompany you." Buffy smiled and let Kaylee go with the cater. Giles stepped through the door and gasped when he saw her.
"Angel is going to flip when he sees you." He said softly. Buffy grinned and almost began to cry again. Giles held out his arm and Buffy took it. And they walked out of the door way.

Angel stood at the alter and tried to concentrate on what one of his groomsmen where saying. He was so nervous and excited. He was happy. Buffy would finally be his. He had everything he had ever wanted. Buffy, a daughter and son, and friends that were his family. He had heard about what Joyce tried to do. Just because he couldn't talk to her in person didn't mean they could send notes and Kaylee back and forth. The music started.
He stood up a little straighten and watched his daughter walk down the aisle throwing flowers. She smiled and waved at him and took her place next to Hope. Faith, lily, Lizzy, Lissa, Anya, Willow and Dawn walked out in pairs of two. Well Dawn came last, alone.
The 'here comes the Bride' music came. He smiled and thought (*It's time*). He saw Buffy walk down the aisle with Giles on her arms. He watched as she walked up to him. Giles gave her a small kiss and took a seat. The bride music ended and Both Buffy and Angel held hands gazing at each other. They turned their attentions to the minister as he began to speak.
Minister:
We are gathered here today to witness the coming together of two people; Elizabeth "Buffy" Ann and Angel, whose hearts and spirits are entwined as one. They now desire to profess before the entire world their intention henceforth to walk the road of life together.
To these two young people, this marriage signifies the birth of a new spirit, a spirit which is a part of each of us, yet not of any one of us alone. This "birth of spirit" reminds us of spring, the season when all life is reborn and looms again. It is appropriate, therefore, that this wedding of Buffy and Angel be in the spring, and that it be under the open sky, where we are close to the earth and to the unity of life, the totality of living things of which we are part.
The beliefs and thoughts about love which motivate these two people are perhaps best expressed in the words of poet Kahlil Gibran:
"You were born to be together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in your silent memory.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
and let the winds of the heaven dance between you.
Love one another, but make not bondage of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread, but eat not of the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone, though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping,
for only the hand of life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together,
for the pillars of the temple stand apart,
and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in shadow."
Minister Buffy:
Do you Buffy, knowing this man's love for you and returning it, realizing his strengths and learning from them, recognizing his weaknesses and helping him to overcome them, take Angel to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Buffy:
I do. Minister:
Place the ring on his finger. Minister to Angel:
Do you Angel, knowing this woman's love for you and returning it, realizing her strengths and learning form them, recognizing her weaknesses and helping her to overcome them, take Buffy to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Angel:
I do. Minister:
Place the ring on her finger. Let these rings serve as locks–not binding you together–but as keys, unlocking the secrets of your hearts for each other to know, and thus bringing you closer together forever.
And now Angel and Buffy, seeking the fulfillment of love and marriage, find again that the poet Gibran speaks for them:
"Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks to another day of loving.
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
to return home eventide with gratitude, and then sleep with a prayer
for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips."
I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Buffy and Angel kissed and the audience began to clap and congratulate. Buffy and Angel pulled apart and picked up Kaylee. Connor joined them in an embrace while cameras were flashing every few seconds.
(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+
At the reception everyone was eating and dancing. Kaylee was currently passed out in Connor's arm after having a bit too much cake. But meanwhile everyone was having a good time. The DJ came on the speaker and spoke.
"It is time for the song for the newly wed couple. The married are welcome to join if you wish." A slow but beautiful song came on. Buffy and Angel moved to the dance floor and Buffy locked her arms around his neck while Angel wrapped his arms around her waist. Buffy sighed and leaned into him.
"If I could break this spell
I'd run to him today
And somehow I know he's on his way to me
Baby, you and I were meant to be
Far longer than forever
I'll hold you in my heart
It's almost like you're here w/ me
Although we're far apart
Far longer than forever
As constant as a star
I close my eyes and I am where you are
As sure as the dawn brings the sunrise
We've an unshakable bond
Destined to last for a lifetime and beyond
Far longer than forever ( far longer than forever)
I swear that I'll be true (I swear that I'll be true)
I've made an everlasting vow to find a way to you
Far longer than forever
Like no love ever known
And w/ your love I'll never be alone
Far longer than forever
Much stronger than forever
And w/ your love I'll never be alone"
