Hi-ho, Deep Pond of the Train Wreck Explorers here! I have a snazzy hat and everything, and I'm here to give your story a good lookin'-at.

Rocket and WallFlower are getting married.

Why does Wallflower's name have a capital halfway through?

All of them were happy, their eyes tearing up as they looked at the happy couple, all eyes except for one.

"All eyes except for one" makes it sound like one eye isn't tearing up, but you mean one pony. Also, as is explained in the next line, he is tearing up, just for different reasons. A bit clumsy.

“Congratulations Rocket, you finally have the mare of your dreams don’t ever let her go” the Pegasus said as he watched the carriage move away and his face began to tear up quickly as the crowd followed behind.

That is a run-on sentence, and the fact that it has almost no punctuation makes it seem like it's spoken in a flat monotone. Remember to use commas wherever there is a natural pause, and whenever dialogue ends before the sentence does (unless you need a question mark or exclamation point). Also, break sentences up into manageable lengths. This, for instance, would read better as

“Congratulations Rocket, you finally have the mare of your dreams. Don’t ever let her go,” the Pegasus said as he watched the carriage move away. He began to tear up as the crowd followed behind.

“I want to thank you all for coming to Wallflower and I’s wedding,

Wallflower's and my. "I's" is grammatically incorrect; the possessive of "I" is "my."

Many ponies made their speeches, eliciting laughs, crying fits, and all around cheer until it reached me. I had dreaded this all day, what do I say, will I make a fool of myself, will I embarrass Rocket to the point that he wouldn’t talk to me again?

Thoughts are generally indicated with italics, as it makes it far easier to distinguish between them and spoken dialogue or description.

hoping that the next part wasn’t going to end with the microphone being yanked from his hands.

“I want to congratulate the two of you, Rocket for showing me what being in love was like” I say as I look over the faces of the wedding party before continuing, “And to you Wallflower” I say as I raise my glass, “For showing me what it was like to experience true love.” “I hope and pray that if I should outlive the world’s end among the final stories ever told, I will find your names and the true expression of love two ponies could have for each other in it. Thank you” I end and pass the microphone onto then next pony.

Why did you end a quote, then start a new one in the same paragraph? It looks like you combined two paragraphs and forgot to take the quotes out.
Also, there should be a comma after that last "Thank you."

“Something more” he questioned, clearly taken aback by the statement.

There should be some punctuation mark at the end of Rocket's dialogue, either a comma or a question mark.

“You and Her” he said, his eye’s wide in shock.

Random capital.

“Not at first” she started, her eye’s fixed on Rocket’s

"Started" is a very clumsy word for this. Try "began," or better yet, "said."

The story seems to be in past tense, but you slip into present tense a couple of times, which is rather jarring.

I object to the use of the Blue Angels. The Blue Angels are a real flight team, upon which the Wonderbolts are largely based. I recommend coming up with another name for your version of them rather than simply using the RW name.

Overall, this is pretty decent; your writing is a little clumsy but by no means terrible. You've got the basics of grammar and spelling down, your pacing is decent, and your characters are as well.

Good luck and keep writing!

Thank you for your comments.

Thanks again for that, it helps a lot.
