“The wedding gowns on display at the shop are gorgeous, but they’re too expensive,” said Buffy, pouting. “I don’t think I can afford one.”
From the couch, Giles scoffed. “One more reason to call it off.”
“Nobody asked for your opinion, Rupert.”
“Spike, don’t be rude,” Buffy scolded him. “Listen, what if I have my mom’s wedding dress adjusted and you rent a tux? We’d save a lot of money.”
“I ain’t wearing a soddin’ tux.”
“What? You can’t get married wearing jeans and a T-shirt!”
Spike snorted. “Why the hell not? I’m a vampire, pet, not a bloody penguin.”

Buffy rolled her eyes. “Tuxedos don’t look like penguins.”
“I don’t give a sod what they look like, ain’t wearing one.”
“Spike, it’s a ceremony.”
“Let’s elope,” he suggested. “Sod all that wedding nonsense you’ve been prattling about… flowers, invitations, cakes, dresses. All gone, expenses cut.”
Buffy’s eyes widened. “But… I’ve already ordered a cake-tasting box. They gave me a complimentary cake topper with the order,” she said, picking it up. “And my mom wouldn’t approve of us eloping.”
“Buffy…”
“Imagine us walking down the aisle,” she said, humming the wedding march while walking the cake topper up his arm.
