I think one of the best character moments for Xander has to be the foreshadowing that he's uncertain about marrying Anya throughout season 6 and then the moment he actually decides not to marry her in Hells Bells. I love how subtle it was with Xander just saying things like "Did you really look like that?" (about Anya's demon form) him singing "Am I marrying a demon?" and just how freaked out Xander looked a lot of the time about Anya. He was obviously in denial about his uncertainty though. And my favourite moment is when Xander looks at his parents fighting and we can all see that he's not over his childhood or his boyishness from the earlier seasons he's just been playing a man that has a job and an apartment and therefore should be married.
I guess it works so well for me because I never understood how suddenly well put together Xander became on the outside in season 5 and his relationship with Anya so when the answer became... Xander isn't put together it all made sense.
It was still a jerk move on Xander's part to leave Anya at the altar but I get how his issues wouldn't just come out into the open at the convenient time (before the wedding) because it doesn't work like that.
What do you think?
