The doors of the hall opened. Xander made his way down the aisle first, followed by Willow, Dawn, Sophie performing her flower girl duties, and finally, Buffy, accompanied by both Giles and Joyce. As soon as she saw her wife to be, Faith's fears eased. Sure, she was still a little worried about whether she'd be a good wife, but she knew that Buffy would be a great one, and could teach her and guide her through it, as she'd done for all the rest of their relationship. The two Slayers smiled at each other as the Celebrant began to speak, welcoming all the guests and talking about the commitment of marriage, before instructing Faith to say her vows.
"Uh, um, uh..." The Dark Slayer knew exactly what she wanted to say, she had practised it multiple times, but now she found herself tongue-tied.
"I'll go first" said Buffy, smile widening. "Although I don't really know where to start either. I mean, if somebody had told me five years ago that I'd be standing here with you today, I would have thought they were insane. We both would. But I guess maybe the best loves are the ones that you don't see coming. Because now, If I look forward five years, I can't see myself without you, and if I look even further forward, I still can't. I see myself with you forever, Faith. Forever, and whatever comes after that." The Celebrant nodded, then turned to Faith.
"Whoa, I don't know how I'm gonna top that one B, but here goes" Faith began. "Well, everythin' you said, that goes double for me. I never in a million years would have seen us comin' either. Then again, I probably wouldn't have seen love comin' from anyone. I've never been in love before, and no-one's ever loved me the way you do, Buffy. Everythin' I know about love I've learned from you. You're my first love B, and my last, 'cause I never want to be with anyone else." While Buffy smiled, teary-eyed, Echo, sensing that his moment had come, proudly padded forward, lifting his head to give the Slayer's easy access to the pouch attached to his bow-tie. Following the Celebrant's instructions, Buffy and Faith each took a ring, exchanged them, and then shared their first kiss as a married couple. The guests cheered.
"I love you, Faith" Buffy whispered, slightly breathless, after they had broken apart.
"I love you too, B" Faith whispered back, kissing her again.
After the official business of signing the Marriage certificate and taking the Wedding photos was done with, everybody headed off to the reception. Tara sat bouncing baby Lily on her knee, watching as Sophie helped Spike attempt to teach Illyria how to slow dance. Suddenly, Lily looked at something, or rather, someone, approaching from behind Tara, and began to clap and giggle.
"Ih-oh, Ih-oh!"
"Hey, Sweetie" Willow smiled, kissing her daughter's cheek, then Tara's, before taking a seat beside her wife. Lily reached out for her, so she took the baby and shifted her into her own lap. "You know, not too long ago that was us" she said, gesturing to Buffy and Faith over on the dancefloor.
"I know" said Tara, smiling her trademark lopsided smile. "It feels like yesterday." They watched their newlywed friends for a while, until Xander rushed over to them.
"Um, guys?" He began, sounding rather panicked. "Not that I want to cause any trouble or ruin our friends Wedding reception or anything, but you two are the only ones who really have any experience with this stuff and.." he glanced over at a certain pregnant former Vengeance Demon, who sat nearby looking like she was in a great deal of pain, "I think Anya might be in labor."
