It had been such a wonderful time for all of Equestria as the newest couple were now officially husband and wife. Now everypony and creature was outside in the botanical gardens, the same ones that they were when Cadance and Shining Armor got married and had their reception many years before, but now it was Nathan and Apple Bloom's performance. While everyone was having snacks and drinks and talking to each other, Nathan was talking with his two human friends about all that had happened.

"So you and Big Mac talked over it?" asked Luke.

"Yes, but Ah' misunderstood him, that's all." answered Nate, Luke then turned to Kyle.

"Kyle, you should've denied the effort to take Nathan out doing something dangerous."

"I know Luke, but he kept pressuring me."

"Don't sweat it, you need to learn when to put your foot down."

"I will, it'll just take a lot of work."

"Kyle, you're 30 years old, it should've worked long ago."

Kyle face palmed and was just about to slap Luke when all of a sudden.........

"Attention everypony," said Twilight, everyone then turned their attention, "I believe Apple Bloom has decided to have Nathan join her in vows."

"Look y'all, we'll finish this later." And Nathan ran up to a stand where his new wife was standing and waiting for him. He got up onto the stand and stood in front of a table where there were two sets of written vows, as Apple Bloom kept hers on the table pressed with her hoof, Nathan lit up his horn and magically grasped his vows.

"Ah'll start first." said Apple Bloom.

"Nathan Cadenza, you are the most lovin' pony Ah' have ever cherished. Ever since the day ya' came to Equestria, Ah' have had much thought of how much Ah've seen ya. Ya' have been there for whenever Ah' needed ya, ya have been the bravest pony ever, and ya' have shown more courage than any other pony Ah' have seen. Plus, you have a heart that has solid gold for true love, ya' see me as the love of your life, ya' have a body that looks like it was carved by sea ponies and a face that looks like it was painted by the pillars. Ah' love ya' Nathan, and Ah' hope that our marriage goes through like a smooth flowing river for as long as we both shall live, Thank You."

Everypony and creature applauded as Nathan went on with his share.

"Ever since Ah' first sat eyes on you Apple Bloom, you've always been the star of mah' pupil. Ya've been nothin' more than the big twinkle in mah' eyes, ya' have the mind of a brave warrior and the heart of a true southern gal. Yer' the first and only gal to ever bury a hole in mah' heart, yer' body is that of an angel and yer' eyes are shiny as stars. Ah' love ya' Apple Bloom and Ah' am very pleased to have ya' as mah' wife, thank you."

Once again everypony applauded, now it was time for the dancing as everyone got around and watched as Apple Bloom started dancing with Big Mac while a now older Vinyl Scratch (DJ-PON 3) started up a smooth country song she and Nate came out with.

Nathan could not have been more happy to see his new wife dancing with her father-like brother. This went on for about five minutes, once it was over, everyone applauded as it was now time for vows from family, the first was Twilight.

"I wish the very best of a new life for you Nathan, and to my new niece-in-law, Apple Bloom." she said, next was Applejack.

"Ah'm very fortunate to now have a brother-in-law." she said.

"As am Ah'." said Big Mac.

"Congrats to you all, I cannot say how happy I am for you." said Kyle, who was holding back tears of happiness.

"We thank y'all for comin', but now we believe it's time fer the biggest moment of them all......"

"CAKE!" screamed Apple Bloom as she and Nathan walked over to a mountainous white cake that Pinkie, Luster, and Cheese made from scratch. Before they could slice, Nathan turned to them with a smile.

"Thank for makin' this for us, we know how much effort it took to do this." he said.

"You're welcome Nathan." said Cheese.

"You two deserve it." said Pinkie.

Since Apple Bloom and Nathan were the bride and groom, they would be the first to have a slice. So Nathan lit up his horn and levitated a huge cutting knife, then gently sliced off the first piece and put it on a plate. He then took a small piece of the cake and put it in Apple Bloom's mouth, soon Apple Bloom took a small piece of it and put it in Nathan's mouth, as a little love joke, Nathan took some icing and booped Apple Bloom's nose with it, and she did the same to him as everypony and creature laughed.

"All right everypony, who all wants some of this cake?!" Nathan yelled, soon he and his wife were cornered with ponies and creatures holding plates and forks all at once.

"All right, all right, one at a time!" he ordered, soon they all had a piece and ate. It tasted so good, they could not even ask what was in it. Vinyl Scratch then played more music for entertainment as they all danced. Even Twilight, who could not dance as a young unicorn, was making moves of her own and Nathan could not have been more happy to see his own aunt actually dancing along with the beat. This all went on for the next several hours until it was time.

Later that afternoon, the wedding crowd had escorted Nathan and Apple Bloom to a royal carriage that was identical to the one Cadance and Shining Armor used when they got married, it was white and had a sign the read "Just Married" nailed at the bottom back of it. Only this one was decked out and custom made to look like a western carriage, it was going to be towed by royal guards, except they wore western wear, neck ties, and cowboy hats. Shining Armor walked up to Nate and put a cowboy hat on his head while Applejack did the same to Apple Bloom.

"Thanks Dad." said Nate as he hugged his father.

"Thank you Applejack." said Apple Bloom, and she and Nathan hopped right into the carriage that was about to depart to Appleloosa for their honeymoon. But before they departed, Apple Bloom held a bouquet of flowers and threw them out the back window of the carriage, and the one that caught them was Luster Dawn. Kyle and Luke smiled at their best friend and they shared a hug as Nathan reached out his forehooves through the window. Soon the carriage was ready and the royal guards prepared their hooves and took off with the newly wedded southern ponies in two as the wedding crowd watched and applauded while fireworks were shot up and exploded into the night air, signaling that another wedding went successful.
