Summary: Perfect weddings are hard to come by, especially when you grew up on a hellmouth. Twenty could-be weddings, crossing the verses.
A/N: Originally going to go with Kresley Coles Immortals after Dark, but I couldn't remember a male who wasn't already partially paired off the top of my head. Hmm.

"That is just so wrong," Shawn Spencer couldn't wrap his head around it.
"I don't get it," Burton 'Gus' Guster's brow was drawn tightly in confusion.
"He arrested her five weeks ago!" Detective Juliet OHara frowned in displeasure.
"Don't they make the cutest couple?" Buzz grinned, placing his wedding gift on the table just past the reception line.
Detective Carlton Lassiter looked eerily happy, his bouncing new bride was laughing at something he said. A tiny blonde woman, a willowy brunette, a fiery redhead (and Shawn was sure there was a joking in the offing at that combination alone) and a man with one eyed (once again, joke in progress) wore expressions similar to their own.
Shawn strained to hear what they were whispering about. Which definitely was not polite. Some people were trying to be nosy here! He was half leaning around Gus just to hear them.
"Personally, I think it's creepy that she looks so much like his ex," the pirate man was saying.
"They must have gotten hitched on a drunken binge. She hated him five weeks ago when he pulled her in on a Drunk and Disorderly," the brunette rolled her eyes at him.
"I think they're both crazy," the redhead added.
"I just don't get it," the blonde sighed, looking a bit wistful at Lassy's happiness.
"Was it a bet do you think?" the brunette added, staring hard at the couple.
"Faith would not commit herself to one person on a bet," the redhead snorted. "A dare, sure. A bet, not so much."
"Didn't she swear off men after Robin's betrayal with some sweet hot thing not two months ago?" the pirate asked again.
"Apparently only men who associated with the Council. Law officers are fair game, I guess," the redhead snorted again.
"I don't get it. I just don't get it," the blonde muttered again. "How did she snag a husband before me? I'm all done being cookie dough now, and all I can attract are creepy old Italian guys."
An older man walked up to them, giving them a glare and saying something in a low voice. It worked magic, obviously, because all four of them looked like contrite children. Shawn straightened up hurriedly, knocking into Juliet and Gus.
"I guess we'll never know why they got married," Juliet blushed.
"Well, at least we're not the only one's not getting it."
