Teenage Angst Flashback: Buffy and Angel Get Married



What geek didn't spend their teens eating up all the love and angst they could get with Buffy The Vampire Slayer. (Being truthful, it'd still be true now, you know it!)

Taking place as dream sequence in The Prom (series 3), Buffy dreams that she and Angel are getting married, but as they step into the sunlight after, Buffy burns to ashes, not Angel as one would expect with a vampire.

This ep is sooo wrenching, as it's the one where Angel breaks up with Buffy and announces his leave town once that series' big bad (The Mayor) is defeated. Buffy's broken, yet has to continue being the hero and go to prom. In the end, Angel turns up at prom and they slow dance, I guess acknowledging the past, but also there's nothing she can do to change it. *Goosebumps*

Discount tiaras would have been the perfect touch to both the wedding dress and the prom dress.

Where's a Buffy boxset when you need one?
