Spike is a true believer in romantic love, as we all know. Buffy will, I suspect, take a more practical tack. Maybe those crazy kids will make it work!

I'm glad that the ceremony worked for you. It could easily have gone from "heart felt" to sugar-coated, which was my biggest fear. I'm very happy you chose "sincere" to describe it, rather than "sentimental". Heh.

It was fun writing the wacky reception. I had this very clear picture of all the shenanigans going on, but much ended up on the cutting room floor. I'm probably going to expand a bit on the primae noctis in another story, though. Heh.
