The best man stood on the raised dais and tapped a spoon against his crystal flute.

"Can I have everyone's attention?"

As everyone settled down, Xander began his carefully prepared toast. "We are here to celebrate with two of the most important people in our lives," he stopped to clear his throat and started again more slowly.

"They have saved us and the world more times than most of you realize. I am proud to call them my friends and family. When the bride was planning this hootenanny, the groom only had two requests. He wanted to plan the honeymoon, and before you ask, I haven't managed to get it out of him, and the first dance. And as we know the bride is tone deaf..."

"Hey!" cried the bride as the groom giggled helplessly with the guests.

"She agreed."

The groom stood and held his hand to his bride. She lovingly clasped his hand and rose to move to the dance floor with him. "So, here is the song he chose. He told me that this song best expressed how he felt. So, may I present Rupert and, god this sounds so strange, Buffy Giles.

At the grooms' nod, music swelled around them.

*Just smile for me and let the day begin
You are the sunshine that
Lights my heart with in
I'm sure that you're an angel in disguise
Come take my hand and together we will ride

On the wings of love
Up and above the clouds
The only way to fly is
On the wings of love

On the wings of love
Only the two of us
Together flying high
Flying high upon
The wings of love
You look at me
And I begin to melt
Just like the snow
When a ray of sun is felt

I'm crazy `bout you baby
Can't you see?
I feel so delighted
If you would come with me*

Tears flowed happily down Buffy's cheeks as they moved across the floor. She hadn't thought that she could feel more loved until she heard her husband begin singing in her ear.

*Yes, you belong to me
And I'm yours exclusively
Right now we live and
Breathe each other

Inseparable it seems
We're flowing like a stream
Running, free flowing
On the wings of love

On the wings of love
Up an above the clouds
The only way to fly is
On the wings of love

On the wings of love
Only the two of us
Together flying high
Together flying high

On the wings of love
Up and above the clouds
The only way to fly is
On the wings of love

Flying high upon
The wings of love …
…Of love…*

She smiled and ask him as the song changed and other couples moved onto the floor, " Where did you find this song?"

"I was flipping channels while driving and this song was playing. I went to the music store and a helpful lad found it for me," Giles told her.

"It's beautiful and perfect, just like you."

"No, my wife. We are perfect."
