The castle courtyard was silent. Not a bird, nor squirrel, nor pony for that matter could be heard. The courtyard was lined with chairs, ten rows of seven each. Ponies occupied them all. The chairs were situated under a big awning set up in the courtyard. The ponies were all dressed to a tee, for this was a very special occasion. This was the marriage ceremony between Twilight Sparkle and Trixie Lulamoon.
It seemed the whole town of Ponyville was there to witness what was soon to occur. The Elements along with Starlight and Sunburst sat on the left in the front row, with Twilight's and Trixie's families in the next. An extra chair materialized out of thin air next to Fluttershy. It rose into the air and suddenly gained a very peculiar guest. Discord floated to the ground before speaking, "Oh I just love watching a good show, don't you?" Fluttershy stared daggers at the Lord of Chaos.
"Discord..." Fluttershy muttered through clenched teeth. "You had better behave yourself. Today is our friends' special day. No magic or shenanigans of any kind, you hear me?" she asked asked assertively. Discord said nothing, and with a slight smile he snapped his fingers and teleported him and his chair next to hers.
Trixie stood at the altar onstage in a beautiful white bridal gown sewn together by Rarity, who had also made Twilight's wedding gown. Glancing at Starlight, Trixie could see tears of joy welling up in her eyes. Trixie smiled beneath the veil. Starlight had walked her down the isle, and was her best mare, so of course she'd be the one to cry first.
Mayor Mare walked up to the center of the stage and held out a megaphone. "Everyone, it is time. I would like for the best mares and best stallions to come up and stand on stage if you'd please." she said. Mayor Mare stepped to the side as Shining Armor, Starlight, and Spike stepped up and took their positions.
As the choir started to play, the CMC started down the middle aisle, tossing flowers in their wake. Out from behind the trio came the second bride to be. Twilight, in her velvet-colored hoof-sewn dress and veil, was lead down the aisle by her father Night Light. Tears threatened to enter his eyes but he held them back. He walked her slowly to the stage before returning to his seat. Both mares faced each other onstage, still covered by the veils.
Spike came up and handed Mayor Mare the pillow with the two rings placed upon it. She took her position just to the side of the two mares. "Without further ado, let us begin." she said. "Do you, princess Twilight Sparkle, take this mare to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to cherish her, to love her with all your heart? To have and to hold her, in sickness and in health, 'till death do ye part?"
Twilight smiled. "I do!" Twilight took one ring and slipped it onto Trixie's horn.
Mayor Mare continued. "And do you, Trixie Lulamoon, take this mare to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to cherish her, to love her with all your heart? To have and to hold her, in sickness and in health, 'till death do ye part?"
Trixie smiled too. "I do!" Trixie took the remaining ring and placed it on Twilight's horn.
Mayor Mare lifted both the brides veils and said, "Then with the power invested in me by the Town of Ponyville, I now pronounce you mare and wife! You may now kiss the brides!"
Both mares leaned in and had a passionate kiss! The audience exploded with applause. Pinkie's party cannons went off on each side of the stage, spraying confetti and streamers into the air. The Elements were whistling; Shining, Cadence, and Flurry were leaking liquid pride; and the rest of Ponyville was ecstatic! Trixie and Twilight finally let up for air after several seconds and nuzzled each other.
They walked down the aisle to the other side of the courtyard where the crowd had wandered off to. Both mares decided it would be fun to toss two bouquets. Trixie's went to Starlight and Twilight's went to Fluttershy, surprisingly. Everypony seemed to be having a grand old time. The newly weds sat together at their own special table in the center of the courtyard.
"Today was absolutely magical!!" shouted Trixie.
"Every day with you is already magical, dear. I hope you realize that." Twilight said lovingly. Trixie looked at her with the same loving expression. The two mares shared another kiss and an "I love you" before standing up and heading for the dance floor. Trixie and Twilight awkwardly (though lovingly) danced into the night. The future for these two love doves seemed brighter than ever, and they lived happily ever since.
The End
