Spike stood in front of a mirror, nervously fiddling with his dark blue bowtie. He nervously tapped his foot on the ground and let out a low groan. He wore a white button-up shirt with a black jacket. Today was the day he got married to the love of his life and he was nervous.
"What if she says no? What if she doesn't show up? What if everything goes wrong?" Spike asked himself, becoming more and more nervous by the second. The bedroom door slammed open, making him turn around. Scramble stood in the doorway with a pink dress halfway over her head.
"Dad help I'm stuck!" Scramble exclaimed. Spike walked over to his daughter and carefully pulled the dress over her head. Scramble let out a soft sheepish giggle.
"My horns got stuck." She explained. Spike gave a small smile and crouched down to his daughter's height.
"Are you ready to be a flower girl?" Spike asked. Scramble grinned and nodded her head.
"I'm so excited! I love how the flowers look. The colors are so pretty!" Scramble said excitedly. Spike chuckled and booped her nose. He picked her up and stood up straight.
"I'm glad you're excited, now let's go find Cecilia and Aunt Twily. I need to give them the rings." Spike stated. He left the room and walked into the hallway of the Canterlot Castle. He and his family had stayed at the Canterlot Castle for the night because the wedding was going to be there. Spike swallowed as he was walking down the hallway. It was going to be a big day.
Gabby stood in a room full of mirrors, adjusting her dress. She wore a long white dress with tiny blue gems on it. She had small blue flowers in her feathers. Rarity and Gilda stood at the sidelines, looking at Gabby in awe.
"Darling you look beautiful! Spike is going to fall head over heels for you the moment he lays eyes on you." Rarity said happily. Gabby gave a nervous look and turned around to face Gilda.
"What if Spike doesn't show up?" Gabby asked in a worried tone. Gilda rolled her eyes and leaned into her claw.
"Gabby, you two have been dating for seven years and have three kids. If he doesn't want to marry you now, he's just being stupid." Gilda stated. Gabby gave a nervous smile.
"You're right, he likes me a lot and proposed to me himself. If he didn't love me he wouldn't have done that." Gabby said, starting to get excited. Rarity let out a chuckle. Gabby looked over to a clock to see that the wedding started in twenty minutes. Gabby anxiously tapped her paw on the ground. This was the biggest day of her life.
Spike stood at the altar with his hands folded in front of him. Twilight and Shining Armor stood behind him, both of them wearing fancy attire. They were his best mare and his best stallion. Celestia stood at the top of the altar with a long white dress on. She had come out of retirement just to the priest for the wedding. Cecilia sat on the opposite side of the altar, wearing a light pink dress just like her sister. Next to her feet, there was a red pillow with two rings on it. One ring was silver with a small turquoise in it and the other was bronze with silver grooves in it.
In the audience, there were Spike and Gabby's friends and family. Spike nervously tapped his foot on the floor. There had to be at least three hundred creatures there. They might have gone a little overboard with inviting people. Spike and Gabby had invited anyone who was slightly nice to them. They even invited the yak who stocked the groceries at the supermarket, despite not knowing him that well.
Organ music started up, playing traditional wedding music. Spike stood up straight and stopped tapping his foot. The doors at the end of the hallway opened and everyone turned around to look at the doors. Scramble and Flurry Heart walked down the aisle with a basket in their mouths. They used their magic to toss the light pink and dark blue flower petals. Once both fillies made it to the end of the carpeted path, they both sat down in the front row next to Princess Cadance and Luna.
Gabby walked into the room with a small smile on her face. Spike's face turned pink as he watched his fiance walk down the aisle. She looked absolutely stunning. Spikes heart pounded in his chest and a grin spread across his face. Gabby approached the altar and walked up the stairs. She stood across from Spike with a large grin on her beak. Celestia cleared her throat and looked at the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all gathered here today to celebrate the union of Spike Sparkle and Gabby the Griffon. The strength of their commitment is clear. Their love for each other is strong." Celestia said with a smile. She turned to look at Cecilia. "Cecilia, the rings please." She said. Cecilia picked up the red pillow, holding it up to her great aunt. Celestia levitated both of the rings.
"Spike, do you take Gabby to be you lawfully wedded wife?" She asked.
"I do!" Spike exclaimed excitedly. The audience chuckled at his excitement. Celestia turned to Gabby.
"Gabby, do you take Spike to be your lawfully wedded husband?" She asked. Gabby smiled and nodded her head.
"I do." Gabby stated. Celestia smiled and handed the couple their rings. Spike held Gabby's claw and slipped her ring on her finger. Gabby held Spike's hand and did the same thing.
"You may now kiss the bride." Celestia said. Spike and Gabby's lips touched as they shared a passionate kiss. The audience happily cheered. Spike and Gabby pulled away from the kiss, staring into each other's eyes.
"I love you." Gabby said with a large smile. Spike hugged his wife tightly.
"I love you too."
Spike and Gabby sat at a table in the Canterlot gardens, happily chatting to each other while holding hands. Their reception was very lively. Different creatures danced, ate, and spoke to each other. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Scramble and Cecilia sat at the table with their parents, eating wedding cake. Gasher sat in a highchair, slapping his tiny claws on a plate of mashed potatoes.
"Gasher, don't do that." Spike said, moving Gashers claws away from the food. Gasher let out an angry shout and stuck out his forked tongue. Spike let out a chuckle and wiped his hands off. Spike took Gasher out of his highchair and handed him to Gabby.
"I can't wait to spend the whole week with Grampa Gruff!" Scramble exclaimed. While Spike and Gabby were going to be on their honeymoon, Grampa Gruff was going to be watching them. He was the only person who had nothing to do with his life and had constant free time.
"I know you are. You've been talking about it for two weeks." Gabby said with a chuckle. Spike looked up at the sky to see that the sun was setting.
"Gabby we have to go soon, we can't miss our cruise." Spike stated. Scramble's and Cecilia's faces dropped.
"Aw, you're leaving already?" Cecilia said sadly. Spike and Gabby stood up from their seats and hugged their children.
"We'll be back next Friday." Gabby reassured, kissing her children on the head. They pulled away from the hug and stood up.
"We love you." Spike said with a smile. Grampa Gruff walked over to his grandchildren, looking older than ever. It was a miracle that he was still alive. Gabby handed Gasher to Grampa Gruff.
"Now Grandpa Gruff, the kids go to bed at nine every night. Don't give them too much sugar when it's close to bedtime. They wake up at seven so they can get ready for school. They have to be at school by eight. If Scramble has a nightmare, give her a cup of water and hug her until she feels better. If Cecilia and Gasher can't sleep, read them a bedtime story." Gabby instructed. Grampa Gruff dismissively waved his claw.
"I know how to take care of kids, I raised you and Gilda." Grampa Gruff croaked out. Gabby gave a nervous look and looked up at her husband. A dark purple carriage pulled up, being pulled by two royal guardsmen.
"Okay, one more hug before we go." Spike said, opening his arms. Scramble flew into her father's arms and Cecilia hugged his leg. Spike placed Scramble down on the ground and lightly pat her head. "I love you all very very very much. Now I'll see you next Friday." Spike said. He and Gabby walked over to the carriage.
Spike opened the carriage door for his wife, letting her get in before him. Once Gabby was sitting comfortably, Spike sat down next to her. They both looked out the back of the carriage to see their friends and family waving goodbye. Once they were out of sight, Spike and Gabby held each other's hands and looked at each other.
They were ready for some alone time.
