Fred shook her head. "No...the dress is done, but shop was supposed to deliver it in the morning along with my mother's and Willow's dress," she said, swallowing a bit. She didn't need her dress in order to get married, she knew, but she had been so excited when she found it and had been looking forward to wearing it.
"What's going on?" she heard her father's voice asking. Looking over, she saw him standing there with her mother, Xander and Andrew. "Willow went running through out into the garden like a bat outta hell a few moments ago. Said something about needing some flower."
"Rupert and I are getting married in a couple of hours because of those ghosts downstairs," she told them before going on to explain the situation with the two sisters and how they felt that having the wedding might help stop the ghosts. "But our dresses aren't going to be delivered until tomorrow, and..."
"We'll go get them right now," her father said. "Xander here can drive, and we'll get the dresses even if we have to break the glass."
"Even if we have to...break the glass?" Xander repeated, the concern evident in his voice, before Roger grabbed him by his shoulder and the two of them disappeared down the hallway.
Fred looked over at Rupert, taking a deep breath, hoping that this would work. This was supposed to be their day, just like it was supposed to have been Victoria's day back so many years ago.
Willow came back in the room, holding several things in her hands, including a large red flower that she had obviously plucked from the back garden. "I have everything for the spell. Where are you going to want to have the ceremony?"
Fred looked around the library then over at Rupert with a soft smile. "How about right here?" she asked. "Seems right that we should get married among all books."
Giles opened his mouth to protest when Roger made his comment about 'breaking glass' but decided to keep his mouth shut. He had seen the look on Fred's face when she said her dress wouldn't be there until morning. He wanted this to be as perfect as possible for her. Even if it meant having Roger and Xander break into the dress shop.
When Willow came back, ready to do the spell, Giles looked at Fred and smiled. "The library would be perfect," he said, before standing from the table. With Andrew's help Giles moved the table out of the library before moving the small desk and chairs. The two then brought some folding chairs from downstairs and placed them inside the library.
Things looked set so Giles took Fred's hand and pulled her out of the library. He found a corner of the foyer and pull her to it before kissing her. "This is going to work out. I promise," Giles said after breaking the kiss. He leaned forward for another but was interrupted by Xander's voice.
"Dresses and tuxedos are here." he said.
"Thank you Xander," Giles said just as Trish walked up and took her daughter's hand.
"We should get you dressed," she said, tugging on Fred's hand.
Giles let go of Fred's other hand and smiled. "I'll see you in a bit, love," he whispered before kissing her cheek. He then stepped away and went to one of the guest rooms to change.
