Summary:
As Anya has pointed out in several fanfics and has been spoken of in forums, there are a lot of reasons to get married that have nothing to do with love..
What if, in Something Blue, they DON'T go all love-sick while planning the wedding, but start to rationalize this sudden urge and end up deciding that it would be a good idea to marry to cement a longer truce.
They've had truces in the past, and there is all this fear, unrest and uncertainty in the demon community from the disappearances. what better way to help calm and distract everyone and prove that the truce is long-term, than to marry?
After the spell is broken, they decide that it is actually a good idea still and decide to go through with it, much to the Scoobies' horror.
When does the love start to grow? Is it already there and hiding or does the attraction only really start after they decide to do this and get to know each other more?
If it's already there, when does it come out? After the wedding? Before the wedding?
What starts the confessions? Nearly losing one or the other? Fighting over ceremony details? Doubting each other's commitment to the Truce?
