Spoilers: None. I leave it to the gallery to decide whether this should fit into overall continuity during Wesley's early run in Buffy or somewhere appropriate in the Angel run. Either has definite chaos-creating potential. :-)
Disclaimer: The Jossverse belongs to Hollywood; the drabble belongs to me. We'll talk about the crossover canon afterward (or as soon as I've recovered from being pelted with fruit-shaped missiles).
“So the books were based on actual events?” Cordelia asked.
Wesley nodded. “Greatly watered down from the original files, of course, and published quite against Council authorization.”
“I suppose the movie was even more inventive.”
“With one exception. Fortunately, the charm is only effective if spoken, rather than sung.”
“Charm?”
“A one-word marriage-binding used chiefly by Merthelian demons. Quite irrevocable without the counter, which has been lost for centuries.”
“One word? Oh God, not-”
Wesley tried to stop her in mid-breath... “Don’t say it!”
...and failed. “-supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?”
“Congratulations, my dear,” he said wryly. “Who would you like to tell first?”

Obviously, the crossover canon is Disney's Mary Poppins, which of course belongs to Disney.
