"We've been through alot," Buffy said as she and Angel linked hands and walked down the beach, the waves crashing and just barely grazing their bare feet. "We've seen and done things people only dream about. Or have nightmares about."

"It's been quite a ride," he agreed."

"I wouldn't trade it for the world." she smiled up at him.

"Me neither." he said honestly.

"Are we ready to begin?" the judge asked.

"Yes." the couple said in unison.

"Very well. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...."

Buffy didn't even hear the vows as she exchanged them. All she saw was Angel, and all she heard was the song he'd chosen to play while they said "I do".

When darkness falls upon your heart and soul
I'll be the light that shines for you
When you forget how beautiful you are
I'll be there to remind you
When you can't find your way
I'll find my way to you
When troubles come around
I will come to you

I'll be your shoulder
When you need someone to lean on
Be your shelter
When you need someone to see you through
I'll be there to carry you
I'll be there
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you
The one that will hold on to you
When you feel that rain falling down
When there's nobody else around
I'll be

And when you're there with no one there to hold
I'll be the arms that reach for you
And when you feel your faith is running low
I'll be there to believe in you
When all you find are lies
I'll be the truth you need
When you need someone to run to
You can run to me\\

"I now pronounced you husband and wife. Angel, you may kiss your bride."

He smiled at Buffy before kissing her sweetly, his hands brushing over her cheeks. She linked eyes with him again when the kiss broke, and as they walked down the beach again, this time joined together forever, she knew that whatever challenges they would come up to, he would be there for her, and that was all she needed.

The End
