Five years later, Button Mash proposes to Sweetie Belle and she says yes. He's thrilled. He's so glad his dream girl has accepted his proposal. In the following weeks, the two eagerly start planning their wedding. 

"What kind of cake should we have?" asks Button Mash.

"Vanilla bean with strawberry cream!" replies Sweetie with a smile.

"Agreed," replies Button Mash. "Vanilla and Strawberry is also my favorite combination." 

"What kind of appetizers at the wedding reception?" 

"Cheese curds, apples with peanut butter, and Rarity's raisin muffins!" replies Sweetie. 

"And don't forget cheese and ham and cheese and turkey sandwiches," adds Button Mash.

"Of coarse!" replies Sweetie. 

A few hours later, Sweetie goes off to Rarity's to get fitted for the wedding dress of her dreams. She's so glad it's her sister making the dress not some stranger.

"So, it's about time he asked you!" says Rarity with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm excited and nervous," replies Sweetie. 

"And you should be, this is a big step in your life," replies Rarity pinning up part of the skirt of the dress. 

"Rarity," asks Sweetie Belle, "why have you never married?" 

"I chose fashion over stallions, I'm too flirty to ever stay with a single stallion, you know that," replies Rarity.

Meanwhile at his house, Button Mash pulls out his father's old black and white suit. It's the one he plans on wearing on their wedding day. Button smiles as he dusts it off and goes and pulls its matching bowtie out of the back of a drawer. He then blows the dust off of it. 

"Seven months, seven months till the wedding," he sighs. His mother then appears in the doorway.

"I'm proud of you, son, do you know that?" she asks. 

"I know, momma," replies Button Mash. "I'm glad to know you'll always have my back, since you know, dad ran off with a random mare one night after a drinking binge." 

"Please don't bring your father up," she says, a tear in her eye. 

"Oh, sorry," replies Button Mash. "Point is, I'm glad I'll always have you, momma." She comes over and gives him a hug.

"You make my day, son, everyday," replies his mother with a smile, still hugging him. The two then go on downstairs and enjoy dinner together. Button just smiles as he eats his dinner. Sweetie Belle is his world and soon, he's going to spend the rest of his life with her and he couldn't ask for more than that.
