I can't write much because I am a little weepy. Ok, a lot weepy. I'm hoping Xander can overcome his fear, because I really like Anya, but I think Tara's better off without Willow. Moving on now, and hoping the next chapter isn't a weep-inducer! (Actually, I kinda am hoping it'll be weep-inducing, I'm kinda sick like that)
Aww... well, this was a sad chapter. But if you want weepy, read my other fic, Shadows of a Brighter Day (shameless plug). I dare you to make it through without tissues. Thanks for the review!

So sad! Very movingly written & touching. Nice job.
Thank you!

Excellent rewrite of the original scene. Perfect lyrics for Xander. Does this mean he's not even going to show up at the church? Maybe I'll find out before I finish this tonight. Wonderful job sweetie, thanks.
Well, they won't ever get to the church in this fic - I'm not rewriting the *whole* season! But they will make a decision about whether or not to still get married before we're done.

Great chapter. Wow...
The last part where Xander was singing was enough for me eyes to water up and everything. Your writing style as well as the details was great. Thanks for the awesome read.
Aww, thanks! I aim to make people cry. :) Okay, not really, but I'm glad you liked it.

actually, as heartbreakingly sad as that was, i think it'll be better than in canon...xander should have stopped the wedding before it actually started, and tara needed to leave willow...excellent chapter, love, very touching :)
Thanks... there's still some heartbreak, but it's a musical, so happy ending, right? :)

That would be interesting seeing, them both do the song.
Yeah, it would, wouldn't it?

Oh, very cool take on that song! I've always thought that one of Xander and Anya's fundamental problems was that Xander was just too young. He needs to figure out how to not become his dad, and he needs to grow up a little more first.

Very nice look at Xander's childhood. Completely believable!
Thanks - and I agree, Xander was so not ready to get married. If he'd just waited, he and Anya could've been happy, but they rushed into things and screwed it all up.

Well done flashback with Xander. He had lots of issues that's for certain.

Thanks... he does have issues. It doesn't excuse all of his behavior, but it helps to understand motivation.
