//------------------------------// // Weddings Part III-Remy and Applejack // Story: Spiders and Magic: New Families // by Masterob //------------------------------// Remy was in his room, thinking about the big moment ahead. He was about to marry Applejack out in the fields of Sweet Apple Acres, that moment he prepared for was coming closer and closer. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a knock on his door. "Come in." Peter entered the room, "Hey Remy, it's almost time, you gotta get to the Alter." Remy nodded and stood up. "Peter, how did you handle the pre-wedding stuff? How did you relax?" "Honestly I didn't feel too relaxed until after me and Twilight were pronounced husband and wife, though my advice is for you to remember how much you love Applejack and know how much she loves you," Peter said. Remy wiped some sweat off his head, "I just wish it could be easier, but I'll do my best." "We're here for you, also if you're still worried about if you're good enough for Applejack, then think about this. Apple Bloom likes you a lot for her sister, and the two are super close. You must be decent if she likes you after all, but I already know you're a nice guy," Peter said. "Thanks Peter, you a great friend, and soon to be cousin, you are an Honorary Apple after all," Remy said. "Yeah, and soon you'll be a real Apple too, anyway better hurry up," Peter said. Remy nodded and followed his Best Stallion, arriving at the Alter and looking around at all the ponies who had shown up. He could see several of the Apple Family members, like Braeburn and Apple Fritter, plus some of the younger cousins, like Babs Seed, Apple Flora and Candy Caramel Tooth. He saw what looked to be some Buffalo as well, a little confused by that but Applejack did mention Appaloosa having some neighbors. He also saw Big Macintosh sitting near Granny Smith, he looked to be doing his best to hold back some tears. Remy found it odd to see a stallion that big showing a more sensitive side, though he also respects how much he cares for his sister. He knows Big Mac can be very soft deep down. Near the stallion was his own fiancé, Cheerilee, the mare comforting the oldest of the Apple Siblings. He also saw some of his fellow X-Men in the audience, who were still in this world and others such as Kitty Pryde, Beast, Jubilee, even the Professor. Looks like Twilight wanted to make sure he felt that much more comfortable. He made a note to thank Twilight later on for that. He also noticed Rogue in the crowd, causing him to feel a bit awkward since they used to date. They're still friends and it's nice she came to support but he still felt awkward. He noticed her waving, so he nervously waved back, then groaned when he saw her giggle. Looks like she's enjoying herself quite well. "Hey Remy, you feeling alright?" Apple Bloom said, standing in the Bridesmaid spot. "I'm fine, still a bit nervous," Remy said. "Don't be, ah got confidence in you. I'm really happy yer gonna marry Applejack, it means a lot fer me to see her happy," Apple Bloom said. "Anyone who can make my sibling happy is someone ah can always apprciate." Remy nodded in relief, "Glad to hear, still feel nervous about the wait." "It's excitement," Peter said. "To know that the mare you love is about to come down that aisle and make you the happiest stallion in Equestria is a very exciting thing, wouldn't you agree?" Remy chuckled a bit, "You're very right Peter. I am excited, I can't wait to see her beautiful face." Soon the wedding music played, Mayday doing the same thing she did for the other weddings, tossing the flower petals. Applejack made her way down the aisle, her wedding dress having a more country vibe to it, plus she lacked her usual hat. After Applejack went to the alter, Apple Bloom stood next to her, taking the role of her bridesmaid as the other fillies sat down. "You look beautiful Applejack," Remy said. "Thanks, you look pretty nice yerself," Applejack said. Celestia approached and did the same thing as before. "We are gathered here today for the wedding of Applejack and Remy Lebeau." As Celestia continued on, Remy looked around a bit a the rest of the Apple Family. He still felt a bit unsure about whether he was worthy enough for Applejack, though he had the blessings of her friends and several of her family members, plus Peter, who himself is an Honorary Apple, had assured him he's worthy of being in the family. Applejack also felt a bit nervous, hearing Celestia do her usual speech, though changed up a bit for this wedding. But she also felt confident that this marriage will be wonderful, because her fiancé is wonderful to her, and she knows she is to him. "Do you, Remy LeBeau, take Applejack as your wife?" Celestia asked. Remy nodded, "Oui, I do." "Do you, Applejack, take Remy Lebeau as your husband?" Celestia asked. Applejack nodded, "Ah do." "Then I now pronounce you husband and wife," Celestia said. Remy and Applejack engaged in a big kiss, the ponies around applauding and several of the Apple Family whooing. Big Macintosh and Granny Smith were very vocal about their happiness, Cheerilee cheering on her future Apple in-law. Apple Bloom was doing her best not to show her tears. That moment Applejack and Remy were announced as husband and wife meant more to her than she realized. After the wedding, Remy and Applejack were surrounded by their friends and family, given the Apples, it was a large family. "Welcome to the Apple Family Remy! I'm proud to call you mah cousin!" Braeburn said. "That was such a beautiful wedding," Apple Fritter said. "Looks like I'll be seeing you more often, good to have you around," Babs said. "You and Applejack looked so adorable up there, Remy," Cheerilee said. Granny Smith approached Remy, "Yer now mah grandson, ah know you'll be a good stallion fer mah granddaughter." "Thanks Granny Smith, I'll do the Apple Family proud," Remy said. He then heard somepony call out to him. "Howdy Remy!" he turned and saw Rogue making her way over. "Huh? Rogue? What brings you here?" Remy asked a bit nervously. "Is that anyway to greet an old friend? Or an old girlfriend?" Rogue asked. Remy blushed, feeling a bit annoyed. "Seriously? I'm married now." "Ah know, ah just saw the wedding," Rogue said with a giggle. "Still, I'm happy for you. Ah know things didn't work between us, though I think we'll still be good friends." Remy turned to Applejack, "That's ok with you right?" "She seems nice," Applejack said. "So long as there really is no feelings between you two then ah don't see why not." "It's not like we'll be super close best friends, but still a good friend to have," Rogue said. "Besides I'm starting to have my eye on a few handsome stallions in this world." She turned to Big Mac, "You got anypony?" "That would be me," Cheerilee said, standing beside Big Macintosh. "But I don't blame you for trying." "Seriously? You were gonna date my brother-in-law?" Remy asked. "That might have been too weird fer me honestly," Applejack said. Rogue giggled, "Hey I'm just curious. Relax Remy. Anyway ah gotta get going, be a good husband to yer wife." Remy nodded, "That will be no trouble at all." Applejack placed her hoof around Remy, "Ah know it won't, now let's have a good old fashioned Apple Family party!" "With the whole family?" Remy asked. "You know it, let's get the others, we're celebrating big time!" Applejack shouted. "Sounds fun to me," Remy said as the party went underway. As the party continued, Apple Bloom watched as her sister danced with Remy, both enjoying themselves. She looked next to her and saw Rumble standing nearby, looking eager to dance with her. "Hope yer good at dancing," Apple Bloom said. "I'll try my best," Rumble insisted. Before they started dancing, the two leaned in and shared a nice kiss with each other, Apple Bloom already imagining the day she and Rumble get married to each other. Peter watched from nearby, another smile on his face, "It's great to see my friends happy, Remy is part of a great family." "Yeah, he is," Twilight said. "I'm glad all my, or rather, all our friends are getting together." "Your friends, my friends, our friends, all the same in the end," Peter said. Twilight noticed Apple Bloom and Rumble talking together, hints of a blush evident on their faces, "I bet Apple Bloom can't wait till she gets married, especially to Rumble." Peter looked over as well, "Yeah, would be a little weird for me to see, she is like my little sister, and Rumble is like my little brother...wow that came out weird." Twilight looked curious, "Little brother? I thought he was like our son?" Peter shrugged, "That too, though we're not really his parents anymore, not that I don't consider him family." Twilight wasn't sure what to make of that, she just shrugged it off. "Anyway let's do a little dancing, we'll clean up later and prepare for the next wedding." Peter nodded and went to dance with his wife, to the best of their ability, before later on cleaning up a big mess so the ponies can prepare for the next day. The halfway point, three weddings down, three more to go.
