*Months later*
Rarity was just finishing creating her chandelier masterpiece made from the six-sided gems she conjured up.
She said proudly, “There! Once the bride and groom say their ‘I do’s’, blue light will fill the cave with a romantic atmosphere.”
Discord waved his paw as he dismissed, “Uh, no, no, no. I’m sorry. It just simply won’t do.” He then gasped, “I know! Let’s have pink light to shake things up!” He snapped his fingers and the chandelier instantly became pink.
Rarity gasped and snapped at him, “Discord! This is to be my sister’s wedding, so she must have respectable lighting in her ceremony! Hence, the light must be blue!” She shot her magic at the chandelier and made it blue again.
“I say it should be pink!” He snapped his fingers and the chandelier became pink.
“Blue!”
“Pink!”
“Blue!”
“Pink!”
“BLUE!”
“PINK!”
Just then, Sunset entered the cave and saw them quarreling. She shouted to get their attention, “Guys!” When the two of them faced her, she stated, “I don’t think it should matter what the light’s going to be when Timber and I say ‘I do’.” She then smirked, “But if you want to mix it up a little, I suggest making the chandelier multi-colored.”
Discord clapped his hands as he said, “Ooh! Like a disco ball!”
Rarity said, “A past trend, mind you. But I trust your judgment. After all, it is your wedding.”
To make Sunset happy, Rarity and Discord both aimed their magic at the chandelier, making it multi-colored. The result was so dazzling to their eyes.
Sunset breathed, “Wow…”
Rarity then declared, “Sunset, you are never wrong!”
An hour later, as Rarity was fitting her sister into her wedding dress, Twilight and Fluttershy led their mother into the cave, which now had a purple carpet with golden swirls in its design.
Twilight said as she pointed to the geodes on the crystal spire, “Well, there she is.”
Celestia felt uneasy encountering a foe she imprisoned many years ago, but she wanted to clear the air before she and her family could get on with their lives. She said to the geodes, “Hello, Gaea. I’m very sorry I broke my word to you a long time ago, but you see, I had to. A threat was made against Canterlot and I couldn’t leave my husband and daughter in danger. I was going to tell you, but then you kidnapped Fluttershy. I wanted to forgive you, but you wouldn’t stop, so we had no choice.
“I realize that my actions caused things to be this way, but you shouldn’t harm other ponies who are innocent. I know that you are very protective of nature, but I am also protective of every living being in Equestria. Perhaps we can find common ground through that. If I release you after my daughter gets married, you have my word that I will not allow anything of nature to be harmed. However, you must also promise to never threaten the life of an innocent being, pony or beast. Do I have your word?”
After a few moments, the geodes glowed.
Twilight said, “I think that’s a ‘yes’.”
Celestia nodded, “Good. Thank you, Gaea.”
Timber panicked as he was pushed into the cave, “I can’t do this! I can’t do this!”
Discord, who was pushing the groom, grunted, “Oh, stop being a baby! You’re marrying our sister-in-law and that’s final!”
“But I’m nervous! Have any of you felt this way?”
The brothers-in-law, sans Discord, answered, “Yes.”
Discord said, “Well, I didn’t. In fact, I remained calm and collected throughout the ceremony.”
Soarin’ scoffed, “Are you kidding? You wanted to bail out at the last minute!”
Spike agreed, “Yeah! You were shaking from head to toe and you were like ‘Oh, I can’t do this! Get me out of here!’”
Discord, peeved by this, admonished, “Oh, shush!”
Flash put his hoof on Timber’s shoulder and comforted, “It’s going to be okay, Timber. You’re not making a mistake here.”
Fancy agreed, “He’s right, old fellow. This will be one of the best times of your life. Embrace it!”
Timber looked towards the crowd split by the carpet and Twilight Sparkle in front of the crystal spire. She was wearing her mother’s crown to show she was taking her job of officiant seriously.
The groom took a deep breath before he walked towards the queen as he muttered, “Okay. I’m embracing it. I’m embracing it.”
A few minutes after Timber took his place next to Twilight, the processional music started playing. He grew nervous as the ceremony began.
He gulped and panicked softly, “I can’t believe I’m doing this!”
Gloriosa – who was Timber’s best mare – then walked down the aisle and the ring bearer and flower filly followed behind her. When Timber saw Sunset walking alongside her father, his heart began beating wildly and his eyes widened. He couldn’t believe how beautiful she was in her white wedding dress with flame designs and a teal gem on her waist.
He spoke softly and happily to himself, “I can’t believe this is happening to me.”
When Sunset touched his hoof, he trembled at the feeling. All anxiety melted away and was replaced by pure ecstasy.
They turned to face Twilight and she said, “Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here to witness the union of Sunset Shimmer and Timber Spruce. I consider it an honor to preside over my twin sister’s wedding. She has found a true love to cherish her forever and always. Their destiny together is marked by a single kiss, a blessing my sisters and I are glad to have with our husbands. Let us begin with the vows.” She said to Sunset, “Do you, Sunset Shimmer, take Timber Spruce to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, to cherish each day together, to be faithful forever till the end of your life?”
Sunset nodded, “I do.” She gave a loving glance to Timber, who felt more confident because of her love for him.
Twilight turned to Timber and said, “Do you, Timber Spruce, take Sunset Shimmer to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, to cherish each day together, to be faithful forever till the end of your life?” She then whispered to him, “And take good care of my twin, so help me, Faust?”
Timber smirked at her, ready to rise up to the challenge, “I absolutely do.”
Twilight then levitated the rings – one of which was on a chain – and declared, “Then by the power vested in me, I now happily pronounce you husband and wife.” After she put the rings on the couple, she said, “You may now kiss the bride.”
When Sunset and Timber kissed, everybody cheered as the chandelier began to shine with different colors. Suddenly, vines began to grow around the cave. The royals gasped, worrying that Gaea might be wreaking revenge. To their relief, the vines only decorated the cave in a romantic way, with flowers dotting them and heart shapes made by several pairs of the plants. The guests took great joy in this.
At the reception in the camp courtyard, everypony danced to the lively music DJ Pon-3 was playing.
Just then, the newlyweds got up on the stage and Timber announced, “Hi, everypony! We want to thank you for coming to celebrate this special time with us. Now, Sunset and I want to do something for you.”
Sunset said, “We’d like to sing a song for you before we leave for our honeymoon. We think it describes us and a few close ponies perfectly.”
Timber called out, “Hit it, DJ!”
When DJ Pon-3 put on the music, the couple vocalized and stomped their hooves rhythmically until they sang, “To feel unbearable never again…Even if I change, deep inside I’ll be the same…We have a tendency to be ashamed…Let me tell you how to help me break out of these chains…” They vocalized before they sang between verses, “Just a little kiss will do…Just a little kiss from you…”
They stopped vocalizing when they sang, “Don’t you know that it’s enough to believe…that every glass of water will return to the sea? It’s very easy and it’s apropos…It’s not more complicated than a simple hello…So why not and why not? So why not can it be? To be to be enough? One day, two days, three days, for everyday…”
At that moment, Pinkie tossed sprinkles onto the stage and they exploded into a cloud of dust. This didn’t faze the newlyweds and they kept on performing.
Timber sang, “Just a little kiss will do…”
Sunset sang, “Just a little kiss from you…”
“Just a little kiss will do…”
“Just a little kiss from you…”
“Just a little kiss will do…”
“Just a little kiss…” She then kissed Timber on the cheek.
“Just a little kiss will do…”
“Just a little kiss from you…”
“Just a little kiss will do…”
“Just a little kiss…”
While everypony was dancing to the instrumental score, Starlight and Sunburst went to the base of the stage and called out to Sunset above, “Sunset! Congratulations on getting married!”
Sunset said as she danced on the stage, “Thanks! Congrats on breaking your spell with true love’s kiss!”
“Thanks! You know, we’re thinking of holding an engagement party when you guys get back.”
Sunset cried in happy surprise, “What?!”
Timber exclaimed, “Whoa-ho! Glad you guys are getting married, too!”
Sunset suggested, “Why don’t you come up onstage to sing with us? It’s almost the end of the song.”
Starlight refused, “Thanks, but no. This is supposed to be your day. Enjoy it!”
Sunburst said as he wrapped his hoof around his love, “Besides, we have ours coming up. We don’t want to steal the limelight from you guys.”
Timber shrugged, “Well, if you insist.”
He and Sunset then sang together, “Just a little kiss from…Just a little kiss from…Just a little kiss from you!”
As the song ended, the newlyweds embraced each other and kissed. The crowd cheered at the kiss before the couple left the stage.
Discord then suggested to his brothers-in-law, “Say, why don’t we play a little parting song before they leave?” He snapped himself and the guys onto the stage and began to play with the instruments they held.
As they raced towards their carriage, Sunset and Timber sang, “I thought love was only true in fairy tales…”
The six husbands sang, “Oy!”
“Meant for someone else but not for me…Love was out to get to me…That’s the way it seemed…Disappointment haunted all my dreams…”
When the newlyweds got into their ride, Sunset sang, “And then I saw his face…Now I’m a believer…”
She threw the bouquet at the mares, but one Pegasus in particular got it. Even though she was wearing a blonde wig and glasses, the couple knew who it was since she landed next to Quibble Pants.
Sunset sang, “And not a trace…of doubt in my mind…”
Timber sang, “I’m in love…”
The six husbands vocalized, “Ooh-ahh…”
Timber then sang, “I’m a believer…I couldn’t leave her if I tried…”
As Troubleshoes pulled the carriage away, Spike clacked his drumsticks as Discord shouted, “Come on, guys!” The draconequus then sang, “Then I saw her face…Ha-ha! Now I’m a believer…Listen! Not a trace…of doubt in my mind…I’m in love…”
Fluttershy lovingly put her back against Discord’s neck as he vocalized, “Ooh-ahh…I’m a believer…I couldn’t leave her if I tried…Then I saw her face…Now I’m a believer…Hey! Not a trace…of doubt in my mind…One more time!
“I’m in love…I’m a believer…Come on! I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, hey!” Discord said to the ponies, “Guys, sing it with me!”
The crowd sang with him, “I – believe!”
The five other husbands sang, “I’m a believer!”
“I – believe!”
Discord pointed towards the back as he said, “People in the back!”
The crowd sang with him again, “I – believe!”
“I’m a believer!”
The five other husbands then sang with everyone else, “I – believe! I – believe! I - belieeeeve!”
