Another two weeks went by and the second biggest wedding in Equestria was underway. Extra guards were stationed throughout Canterlot, at the castle, as well as the train station and the city limits, at every possible entrance. There was also a force field in place, preparations were being made for the wedding as well.
Inside the castle, Eric was mingling with his friends, they were wearing the same attire as they wore at the Grand Galloping Gala. Pipsqueak, Featherweight, and Rumble wore traditional suits. Jasper was also dressed in the same dress robe he wore at the Grand Galloping Gala, while Smokey was in a western style dress robe, even Jasper and Smokey’s griffon friend, Gale wore a suit.
Just then, Lancer, Kimono, Valiant Knight, Starshine, Scarlet Dusk, Stargazer, Night Light, and Twilight Velvet came in holding Flurry Heart.
“Hi, Great-Aunt Starshine! Hi, Great-Uncle Valiant! Hi to you too, Great-Uncle Stargazer and Great-Aunt Scarlet!” Eric greeted.
“Hi, Eric!” Starshine and Valiant said in unison.
“Good to see you too, Eric!” Stargazer and Scarlet added in unison as they all gave him a group hug.
“Hi, Grandpa Night Light! Hi Grandma Velvet!” Eric greeted.
“Hi, Eric,” Night Light replied.
“Eric, it’s so good to see you,” Velvet added as they hugged him.
“Hi, Flurry,” Eric said. Flurry just happily babbled and reached out to his face.
“Hi, Eric!” Lancer greeted.
“こんにちは (Hello), Eric,” Kimono added in Imperial.
“Good to see you too, Grandpa Lancer and Grandma Kimono!” Eric replied as he hugged them.
After mingling with his friends and grandparents, Eric went to go check on his parents. He reached the room Twilight was in first, then entered.
Twilight was wearing her old coronation dress, along with her crown and a wedding veil. Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were wearing the same bridesmaid dresses they wore at Cadance and Shining Armor’s wedding. Starlight wore a lavender bridesmaid dress with star patterns and shoes with cresent moons on them, Trixie wore a dark blue bridesmaid dress with star patterns and a cresent moon on the front, along with the same crescent moon-pattered shoes, Cadance wore her coronation attendance dress from Twilight’s coronation, and Stardust wore an indigo bridesmaid dress with sapphires on it. Even Sunset was present, she wore a crimson red dress, a collar with a sun pattern on it, and a double phoenix feather headpiece in her mane.
“Eric! Hi, sweetie,” Twilight greeted surprised to see him.
“You look beautiful, mommy. I like your dress,” Eric said as he kissed her cheek.
“Thank you, sweetie,” Twilight replied sweetly as she hugged and kissed him on his face.
Twilight gave Eric her ring and said, “Eric, sweetie, I want you to be our ring bearer.”
“Yes, mommy,” Eric replied.
Twilight sighed and said, “I hope Queen Chrysalis and the changelings don’t attack Canterlot a second time.”
“Hi, Eric!” Sunset greeted.
“Sunset, is that you?” Eric asked.
“Of course it’s me, Eric. It’s so good to see you,” Sunset replied as she hugged him.
After mingling his mom, aunt, foal-sitter, and their friends, Eric went to the room where his dad was, with Sunset in tow. Storm wore his father’s old wedding uniform, Misty Sky wore a traditional Neighgasaki flower-patterned dress that formerly belonged to Kimono, since she was picked to be Storm’s best mare. Flash wore a blue guard uniform, Shining Armor wore his old uniform, Iron Cross wore a traditional Hayburg Imperial Guard uniform passed down throughout his family, Forest Thunder wore a blue suit, Big Mac wore a formal western jacket and Stetson hat, and Discord wore a standard black suit.
“Hey there, sport,” Storm said as he hugged Eric.
“Hi, daddy,” Eric replied.
Storm gave Eric his ring, who put it in his suit pocket alongside his mom’s ring.
“Aunt Misty! Uncle Iron Cross! Uncle Flash!” Eric said.
“Hi, Eric!” The three of them replied in unison as they hugged him.
“There’s something else, we need to tell you,” Iron Cross said.
“What is it?” Eric asked.
“I’m with foal. You’re gonna have another cousin,” Misty replied.
“I’m hoping that history doesn’t repeat itself, with another changeling attack, an attack from Glacio and his army, or both their forces at once,” Storm said with concern.
A few hours later, everypony took their places, the music began playing, and the three flower fillies, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo came down leaving the trail of flowers. Twilight came down the aisle, with Night Light walking her down, before giving her a ‘good luck’ hug.
Princess Celestia began her announcement, “Welcome, mares, gentlecolts, and other creatures. Today we are gathered here to witness the marriage of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Sir Storm Blade, my two former star pupils, now they will recite the vows.”
Twilight and Storm recited their vows, then Celestia went on with the ceremony and said, “Twilight Sparkle, do you take Storm Blade to be your husband?”
“I do,” Twilight said.
“And Storm Blade, do you take Twilight Sparkle to be your wife?” Celestia continued.
“I do,” Storm said.
Eric gave Twilight and Storm their rings, they placed them on each other’s horns.
“By the powers vested in me, I declare you two husband and wife. You may kiss,” Celestia finished.
Twilight and Storm leaned forward and kissed. Their friends and family cheered, along with everyone else who was present. The newlyweds gave their son a group hug.
“We love you, Eric,” Twilight and Storm said in unison.
“I love you too, mommy and daddy,” Eric replied.
Soon enough, the reception began in the castle garden, lovely, romantic music was played by the orchestra. Twilight and Storm had the first dance, before she danced with her father and Storm danced with his mother. Eric had an idea, he and Sweetie Belle went up on the pedestal where the orchestra was and said into the microphone, “Everypony, we have something to perform for you.” He went up to Octavia and whispered in her ear, she and the rest of the orchestra started playing, then Eric and Sweetie Belle started singing.

As Eric and Sweetie Belle sang, they shared a dance. As well as the newlyweds, most everyone else in attendance danced with their special some-ponies, while some, like Pinkie, her sisters, Celestia, and Luna just mingled, and even Starlight and Sunburst danced together, along with Fluttershy and Discord. Spike felt down, for he had no one to dance with, until Sunset came up to him and asked, “Hey Spike, you want to dance?”
“Might as well, Sunset,” Spike replied as he took her hoof.
As Spike and Sunset danced, she felt something spark within her, and Spike blushed at how pretty she looked in the evening light.
Once Eric and Sweetie Belle finished their performance, they shared a kiss. Twilight and Storm also shared a kiss. Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash each shared a kiss with their respective boyfriends as well, even Trixie and Flash shared a kiss.
“Thanks for dancing with me, Sunset,” Spike said.
“Thank you as well, Spike. I really liked the way you held me, you were smooth,” Sunset replied.
All of a sudden, Sunset pulled Spike towards her and kissed him fully on the cheek, his eyes widened. Spike blushed and smiled goofily at Sunset’s bold move, but he was conflicted.
“That was beautiful, sweetie,” Twilight said as she and Storm hugged Eric.
Shining had shed tears of joy, or ‘liquid pride’ as he called it, and said, “I’m proud of you little sis. You as well, little bro in-law. Cadance and I had a feeling about you two.”
Everypony soon began eating, there was an assortment of fruit, veggie salads, pasta, yogurt, cheese platters, and tofu, as well as a double-layer chocolate cake with vanilla icing, and various apple flavored desserts. Once finished with dinner, Twilight and Storm took the first two slices of the cake, then everyone else got their share, including Eric.
Soon, Twilight and Storm went into a carriage that read ‘Just Married’ on the back.
“Where are you and mommy off to, daddy?” Eric asked.
“We’re going to Las Pegasus for a week-long honeymoon. I love you, sport,” Storm replied as he hugged him.
“We’ll see you next week. I love you, sweetie,” Twilight added as she hugged and kissed him goodbye.
“I love you too, mommy and daddy,” Eric said as he waved goodbye to his parents.
Once the carriage left, Twilight threw the bouquet and Stardust caught it.
“Eric, would you like to spend a few days with us?” Cadance asked.
“I’d like that, Aunt Cadance and Uncle Shining. See you tomorrow,” Eric replied then yawned.
Starlight teleported them, along with Spike back home to the castle in Ponyville. There, Eric brushed his teeth, then he and Starlight read the second ‘Space Ponies’ story, and she brought him to his room and tucked him in his bed, then kissed him good night.
A short time later, at their honeymoon suite in Las Pegasus, Twilight and Storm went onto their bed and began engaging in a heated make-out session. They cast a soundproofing spell and Twilight said, “Now we won’t be disturbed, shall we carry on?”
“Take me, babe. You’re mine tonight,” Storm replied as they continued to make-out.
The room soon became filled with the sounds of pleasure.
An hour later, Twilight and Storm were panting heavily under the covers.
“You never cease to amaze me, Stormy,” Twilight said.
“You’re telling me, Twily. We’ve done this over a hundred times since last year before we met Eric. Good night,” Storm replied.
The newlyweds shared one last kiss before falling asleep in each other’s embrace.
