Twilight's brother neglected to tell her he's getting married... to one of her best friends! Not only that, her friend is acting oddly suspicious and the rest of the Mane 6 don't seem to notice. But Twilight is determined to unravel the mystery in an alternate telling of A Canterlot Wedding with a different pony as the bride.

*reads the ending of Part 1*

WHOA! Didn't see that coming!

Hmmm. Thats all I can say.


Interesting take on an alternate Canterlot Wedding.

Hmmmmm.

Feel good story made me feel good.

Happy ending.

8/10 would d'awwww again .

Very interesting, a well done mix of the show plus the new idea and use of the song lyrics as a conversation. Well done.

“Applejack,” Twilight pointed a hoof at her friend, “did you know that after she told you she loved your hors d'eouvres sooo much, she threw them in the trash?”

“Aw, she was probably just trying to spare my feelins.” Applejack chuckled as if nothing in the world was wrong.

But plenty was wrong; she just didn’t see it. “No, she was just being fake and totally insincere!”

“She did raise her voice at one of my birds during rehearsal,” Fluttershy offered.

“See? Rude!” Twilight leaned back. Finally some vindication.

“But he was singing really off-key,” Fluttershy said. She lifted her foreleg, presenting a bird from under the table – sweet Celestia she actually brought it with her – and it proudly sang the awfulest sound Twilight had ever heard a bird produce.

Twilight was tempted to raise her voice at the bird, but she had more pressing matters to attend to. “Pinkie Pie, you had to have noticed how Rarity treated…” Twilight trailed off. Pinkie Pie was not paying any attention to her at all. Instead, Pinkie was surrounded by stacks and stacks of paper, much of it crumpled and discarded. She rolled a pencil around in her mouth in thought. She crumpled up the notes in front of her, spit out the pencil, and started mumbling to herself. “Maybe if the balloons were bigger…”

I am surprised Applejack , Pinkie and Fluttershy didn't notice something was off. Applejack would indentify her friend acting strangely as would Fluttershyaas she knows her well, they go to the spa every week and Pinkie know everythign about everpony in Ponyville she definetly would have noticed.

When was the last time she ate? She really should have accepted those treats Applejack offered. Hopefully no pony noticed her throw them in the trash.

Honestly I don't get this. How much of this reaction was stress, and how much of it was magically induced? It's kind of confusing.

First there was silence. Then the clank of two magnificent crowns striking tile. And then a pair of dull thuds as the princesses hit the floor.

Now this feels a little OP, not going to lie. Does Luna and Celestia's siblinghood count for nothing? :raritycry:

“Excellent. Now no one…” Chrysalis eyed the door. Nopony entered. She breathed a quick sigh of relief. “Now no one is left to stop me!"

This was a brilliant joke, not going to lie. :rainbowlaugh:

He couldn’t blame them. The song was lovely. It was the kind of song he’d love to have playing while he danced with...

You'll get there someday Spike. :pinkiesad2:

He wrapped his arms around her in a big hug, squeezing as tight as he could.

Then he let her go.

Bitter sweet and beautiful. Well done.

I enjoyed the surprise twists and how you put your own spin on it. If anything, I wish you would have changed it up even more.

But honestly this was a great story, minor grips aside.

Of course it's Rarity getting her dream, so I am biased. :pinkiehappy:

Thank you for the comments, Wild Stallion. If I recall, I believe the original intent was Rarity's actions were primarily due to stress. I feel like back when I wrote the story I was trying to keep a balance between original elements - such as having her actions mirror Cadence's in the show - and new. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Glad you enjoyed reading it.

Edit: Looking at the line in particular you asked about (Rarity questioning when the last time she ate was), I recall that this reaction was meant to be magically induced. The "greenish haze" at the edges of her vision is meant to mirror Chrysalis's green magic.

Good story. Enjoyed. :twilightsmile:

I liked it. Although jeot expecting some sist of cadacnr to show up somehow. I mean she still exists. She just never mentioned even in background. Odd
