I can’t believe I’m getting married. It’s ridiculous and probably completely stupid. How could I have fallen in love? I know what an idiots men can be.

I’ve always thought that marriage was a prison and that all those human girls were insane that they wanted to get married. Why would you want that?

But now I understand. Now I’m the one who’s giddy and who gets to dress up and walk in a rain of flowers and get all these presents and tell the one I love that I will love him forever. I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with my best friend and I get it that this is important, that marrying him is important, that all these stupid traditions that I don’t get at all are still important.

The vows are an arcane idea. I’m not promising to obey Xander, that’s like slavery. I’m not going to be his slave, I’m going to be his wife! If anyone should listen to anyone, it’s him who should listen to me, because I’m obviously the smarter one here. But it’s part of the marriage, so I’m promising him everything I have. I just have to find a way to make those vows into something I can really mean.

I’m getting married! I’m so happy I just want to jump up and down. I want to run through the church, I want to get the whole wedding thing over with so we can jump into bed and have sex as a married couple for the first time. Having sex with my husband is probably even better than having sex with my boyfriend and I can’t wait!

I wish Xander would just hurry up. I want to throw him into our bed and show him all the things that he will get to enjoy for the rest of his life. I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe I’m getting married.

So bittersweet. Her happiness and her optimistic dreams are doomed. Poor Anya.

Poor Anya indeed. It's easy to forget how giddy she was at times with the marriage (those vows!).

It's almost painful seeing her giddiness in light of what happens, but you do a wonderful job of capturing the emotions of the moment. Well done!
