Buffy and Angel were awoken by a loud banging noise; Buffy got up to see what it was. It turned out to be Willow and Oz banging on the door.

"Hi guys," she said, letting them inside.

"Hi Buffy" Willow replied, hugging her.

"Hey" Oz said, in his usual Ozish way.

She led them into the living room and said "Sit and I'll make us some herbal tea". As Buffy headed off into the kitchen,

Angel fumbled his way out of the bedroom and into the living room. He was shocked to find Willow and Oz sitting there, especially since no one had heard from them since the night of the engagement party.

"Hi" Angel said to them, sleepily.

"Hi Angel" Willow greeted him, perkily. Angel made his way past them and into the kitchen, where he kissed Buffy good morning. Then he whispered, "Why are they here? And so early?"

"I have absolutely no idea" Buffy whispered back.

Buffy finished making the tea and they went back into the living room, where after everyone was served they sat in silence until Willow broke it, by saying "Well the reason Oz and I are here is to tell you, we're getting married".

"Wils, that's so great. Congratulations" Buffy told her friend, as she hugged her.

"We wanted you and Angel to be the first to know since it was your party that brought us back together" Willow told them.

Buffy sat back down, next to Angel and asked, "When is the wedding?"

"Tonight" Oz replied.

"We're flying to Vegas and we want you guys to come with us" Willow finished.

Buffy and Angel looked at each other, Angel nodded and Buffy answered, "We'd love to".

"Great, we'll come by tonight and get you" Willow told them, getting up.

"Ok. We'll see you later," Buffy said, as she let them out of the apartment. When she came back, she snuggled up to Angel and said, "Poor Tara".

"Yeah" Angel replied, not listening to what Buffy was saying, because he was too busy thinking about something else.

"She is going to be devastated, Willow was her whole life" Buffy continued.

"Yeah" Angel repeated, as he began to trail kisses down Buffy neck and arm.

"Are you even listening to me?" she asked.

"Nope" he answered, continuing his passionate assault.

"You are such a sex maniac," Buffy told him.

"Are you complaining?" he asked.

"No way" she said, jumping on top of Angel. There was no talking for an extremely long time afterwards.

THE OFFICE - LATE AFTERNOON

"WHAT?" Cordy yelled.

"Willow and Oz are getting married" Buffy calmly repeated.

"Wow, who would have thought" Cordy said, in disbelief.

"Angel and I are going with them tonight," Buffy added.

"Really? So why'd they invite you and Angel and not Doyle and I?" Cordy questioned.

"I don't know?" Buffy said trying no to hurt Cordy's feelings, by telling her Willow hated her.

"It was probably an oversight," Cordy said, trying to convince herself.

"That's probably it" Buffy replied.

Then, just as Angel and Doyle came out of Angel's office, Cordy said "Pack your bags Doyle, we're going to Vegas".

THE APARTMENT - THAT NIGHT

Buffy, Angel, Doyle and Cordy were sitting around waiting for Willow and Oz to arrive, when Cordy said, for the thousandth time that hour "This is so exciting".

Buffy's patience had finally worn out and she was about to tell Cordy where to shove her excitement, when Willow knocked on the door.

"Hey guys ready to go?" Willow asked, just as she spotted Cordy and Doyle. She whispered to Buffy, "What are they doing here?"

"Cordy wants to come" Buffy told her.

Willow thought about it for a second and said, "Alright she and that guy can come".

"That guy's name is Doyle" Buffy told her.

"Whatever" Willow said. Buffy turned around to the others and said, "Are we going or what?"

Everyone grabbed their stuff and headed outside and climbed into Oz's old van to go to the airport.

LAS VEGAS - THAT NIGHT

They pulled up in front of a wedding chapel called 'The Chapel of Love' and got out of the rental car. As Oz and Willow were making the arrangements, Buffy grabbed Angel and said, "Angel, why don't we get married".

"Buffy we are" Angel replied.

"No, I meant now" Buffy said, desperately.

"I thought you wanted a big wedding with all your friends and family there" Angel told her.

"Most of my friends are here and we could have it video taped for the others" Buffy said.

"Are you sure?" Angel asked her.

"Totally".

"All right then, let's get married," he said, kissing her.

Willow chose that moment to walk up to them and said, "Its all arranged time for Willow Rosenberg to become Willow Osborne". She looked at their faces and asked, "What's up?"

"Buffy and I are getting married" Angel told her, grinning.

"I know" Willow said, looking at Angel as though he was crazy.

"Wils, he means tonight, after you and Oz do" Buffy filled in.

"Hey, that's great" Willow replied, "Why don't we make it a double wedding?"

"Great idea," Buffy said, excitedly.

"Before we make plans, why don't we ask Oz if he minds?" Angel said, trying to be the voice of reason.

"He won't" Willow said, as they all made their way over to where Oz was standing with Doyle and Cordy.

Twenty minutes later the minister pronounced both couples married. Afterwards Cordy and Doyle bought them a drink to celebrate champagne for all except Buffy. When they'd finished, they all headed off separately and agreed to meet the next night in the hotel lobby. When they arrived outside their room, Angel picked Buffy up and carried her over the threshold; he then gently put her down and tipped the bellboy for bringing up the luggage.

"So what do you want to do?" Angel asked, uncertainly.

"Well..." she said, seductively, "It is our wedding night". Buffy walked over to him and was about to kiss him, when she noticed his expression. "What's up?" she asked.

"I just can't believe we're married" Angel told her; "It seems like a dream".

"I know the feeling" Buffy told him.

He looked down into Buffy's eyes and saw all of her feelings reflected there, all things he felt for her too. He kissed her passionately, as he pushed her down on the bed, and it was a very long time until words were exchanged again.

HOTEL LOBBY - NEXT NIGHT

Cordy and Doyle were seated in the lobby waiting for the other two couples to arrive. After about ten minutes they finally spotted Buffy and Angel heading towards them.

"Angel man, you look exhausted. Were you up all night or something?" Doyle teased.

"Ha-ha Doyle" Angel replied, sarcastically.

"Doyle leave him alone. They're newlyweds they aren't supposed to sleep on their wedding night" Cordy said.

Sensing that a fight was about to break out, Buffy said, "Why aren't Willow and Oz here? What could they be doing?"

"Buffy, don't go there it's a scary visual place" Cordy replied. Just then Oz and Willow appeared.

"Hey" Oz said.

"Hi, let's go" Buffy said, in reply.

THE APARTMENT

A couple of hours later they arrived back home. They were sat on the couch snuggling, when Buffy suddenly said, "This is so weird".

"What do you mean?" Angel asked, enjoying the feeling of holding his wife.

"Well, we're married and nothing has really changed. I guess I figured that it would be or feel different somehow" she replied.

"Did you want things to change?" he asked.

"No" Buffy said, snuggling closer to Angel.

"Then why are you complaining?"

"I have no idea" Buffy answered, "You know his is technically our honeymoon".

"Yeah" Angel said.

"So why are we sitting on the couch?" she asked him.

"Don't know" Angel replied, as he scooped Buffy into his arms and off towards the bedroom.

HANK SUMMERS HOUSE - NEXT NIGHT

Buffy and Angel stood on the porch of Hank's house; Buffy was about to ring the bell when Angel stopped her.

"What?" she asked.

"I think we should tell him"

"We're about too" Buffy replied, confused.

"I meant about you being the slayer and me a vampire," Angel said.

"Are you sure?" she asked him.

"Yeah"

"Ok, we'll tell him" Buffy said, ringing the doorbell.

When Hank answered the door, he got a surprise. "Hi Buffy, Angel. What are you guys doing here?"

"Hi daddy, we need to talk to you" Buffy replied.

"Sure, come on in" Hank told them. They went inside and sat in the living room. "So what did you want to tell me?" Hank asked, praying it was good news.

"Well..." Buffy began, looking at Angel who nodded, "Angel and I were at a friend's wedding in Vegas and got married too".

"Hey that's great" Hank said, hugging Buffy and shaking Angel's hand, "Congratulations".

"Thanks" Angel and Buffy replied, in tandem.

"There's more" Angel said.

"Daddy what I'm about to tell you might sound crazy" Buffy said.

"Whatever it is, just tell me," Hank told them.

"Dad, I'm a vampire slayer and Angel's a vampire".

"Buffy, don't be ridiculous" Hank told her.

"Angel, show him" Buffy said, to her husband. Angel who was sitting next to Buffy put on his game face.

"Oh my god. You're telling the truth" Hank said, stunned.

"Yeah, how disowned are we?" Buffy asked.

"You're not. I think I can get use to this. I gather Joyce knows?" Hank asked, remembering his ex-wife's behaviour.

"Yep. She hates it and Angel" Buffy replied.

"Then I promise to give you both my full support" Hank said, thinking about how this would cheese of Joyce, the wicked witch of the West Coast.

"Thank you daddy" Buffy said, relieved.

They stayed at Hank's until they had answered all his questions, then they headed home, thinking that at least they'd gotten a big problem out of the way.

THE APARTMENT - A FEW HOURS LATER

Buffy and Cordy were sitting in the living room waiting for Angel and Doyle to return from a demon hunt. Cordy was fidgety and acting totally out of character, so Buffy asked "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" Cordy said, quickly.

"How is married life?" she said, trying to distract Buffy.

"Pretty much the same as living together, except with a legal document hanging over your head" Buffy told her.

"That means Doyle was right".

"About what?" Buffy asked. Buffy didn't get her answer because that's when the guy's returned.

"Hi" Angel said, kissing Buffy.

"Princess, give us a kiss" Doyle said to Cordy.

"No way, your slimy" Cordy told him.

"So what, Buffy let Angel kiss her and he's just as slimy"

"I'm not Buffy" Cordy said, storming out.

"Bye guys" Doyle said, leaving to catch up with Cordy.

"What's up with them?" Angel asked.

"Don't know" Buffy said, starting to undress him.

"What are you doing?" Angel asked. "Getting you ready for your shower".

"Are you going to wash my back?" he asked, starting to undress her.

"I was seriously thinking about it" Buffy told him.

"Good" Angel said, as they headed to the bathroom to help clean each other up.
