Chapter 1: A Wasteland Wedding
I'm sorry, he always gets emotional at weddings.
Weddings.
After everything the Equestrian Wasteland threw at them, they were getting married and Velvet Remedy couldn't be more happier. Calamity, the buck of her life, proposed to her on a sunny afternoon. They were sitting on a hill top, looking at the new world that Littlepip had brought, when Calamity cleared his throat.
"So, ah've been thinkin'" He started off, obviously looking a bit uncomfortable. "What if we settle down, if ye catch mah drift."
Velvet, taken off guard, looked at the pegasus in shock. He awkwardly shifted his hat to cover his face, and mumbled something that Velvet couldn't quite hear. Then, before she could say anything, Calamity grabbed a bottle of Wild Pegasus and took a swig. He then started trying to do anything but look at the surprised mare.
"Y-You mean, get married? Is this a proposal?" Velvet felt her cheeks getting a bit warmer, and a small smile started forming on her muzzle. She could almost feel that Littlepip was smiling from her tower, and if you asked her, Velvet would swear that the day got brighter, not a single cloud in the sky, and a large rainbow decorating the sky.
"Ah suppose so," Calamity finally stopped fidgeting and looked solely at his beloved. "It would make me the happiest stallion in Equestria if ye said yes."
"Yes," came the whispered reply, but not without emotion.

"We are gathered here on a special occasion. The marriage of the unicorn, Velvet Remedy, and the pegasus, Calamity," the Pastor's voice rang out, clear and uninterrupted. The wedding was located in front of Littlepip's tower so she could see better at Homage's request. Nopony disagreed.
A nervous Calamity stood uncomfortable on the podium with a suit that he somehow got in New Appleloosa. He was looking at the gorgeous sight before him. Velvet Remedy in a lovely gown, the same dress that Littlepip found in Ponyville, trotting down the aisle. She passed the Applejack Rangers; she passed the Tenpony team, New Appleloosans, Alicorns, and many other ponies they've helped on their adventures.
"Do you, Velvet Remedy, accept Calamity as your husband? To forever love and cherish him, to stay with him when times get tough?" The Pastor asked once she got in position.
"I do."
"Do you, Deadshot Calamity, accept Velvet as your wife? To forever love and cherish her, to protect her when needed?"
"Ah do."
"Then I pronounce you Mare and Colt!"

I looked down at the festivities and smiled, a single tear rolling down my cheek.
