“Yes, minister, I do have some words to share.”

“Twilight, when we first met I tried so hard to avoid you. I tried to avoid you because of the things I had done before you ever stepped foot in CHS, to people you knew then, and to others whom you'll probably never see. Seeing you then only reminded me of my sins, and it was almost too much to bear.

"But just as Pinkie, Rainbow, Rarity, AJ, and Fluttershy accepted you, so too did you accept me in turn. I felt hopelessly lost in a maze of my own creation, but thanks to you I persisted, and even thrived. Through your support and encouragement I discovered the deeper connection we shared, first as friends and mages, then as lovers and soulmates. You became like my own star, so full of passion and curiosity and empathy and love. You became my shield, never bending under even the darkest of clouds. We have been through so much in such a short time, yet I know that both of us have emerged stronger and happier than either of us could have dreamed.

“I love you, Twilight. I love you more than I can ever say, in ways that mere words cannot describe. I want every day to be a new adventure, every night to be full of passion and love and dreams of what comes next. I am thankful for every moment spent in your arms, in your presence. And I never want those moments to end.

“And so, I swear myself to you, Twilight Sparkle. From this day forth, I will stand by your side as your wife, your lover, and your friend. I will share your triumphs, and help you shoulder the load of your downfalls. Come what may, I will be by your side through it all, no matter how high we climb or how low we fall. I love you, Twilight; with all of my heart, with all of my body, with all of my soul, now and forever.”
