//------------------------------// // Epilogue: Wedding Day // Story: A Lyra/Bon-Bon Fic // by StormHoof32 //------------------------------// Bon Bon stood waiting patiently in front of the Carousel Boutique, for Lyra to finish getting sized for her wedding dress. But she was starting to become impatient, they had a lot of preparations to go through and Lyra was holding them up at every turn. Finally after another fifteen minutes of waiting, Bon Bon trotted inside to retrieve her fiance. "No! You mustn't come in here! She's not ready yet!" The Boutique owner, Rarity, said adamantly right before Bon Bon was about to enter the room. How the buck did she know I was about to come in? "Please if you could just wait two more minutes." she said. "Ow, that hurt!" Bon Bon heard Lyra say annoyingly. "Oh don't worry darling, it's only a pinprick." Two minutes later, Rarity came out, with Lyra eyeing her with an annoying look on her face. "I'm glad I only have to do this once, not only did that take forever, but that needle hurt." she whined. "Oh come now, it's not that bad, just think how stunning you'll look in your dress! And it's too bad Bon Bon, that you decided to wear your own simple dress, I could make a dress that would go beautifully with your mane." Rarity said smiling. "I understand, but the dress I'm wearing has been in my family for generations, and it has been worn by every female member of our family at their weddings for just as long, and I'd like to keep the tradition." she replied. "Very well. I will have your dress ready by tomorrow." Rarity explained as they left the shop. "Ugh, that was a nightmare." Lyra said smiling at the fact that she was free from that overly dramatic and fancy designer. "Your telling me. My hooves are starting to hurt." Bon Bon replied. "Okay, so we talked to Pinkie Pie about setting up the wedding, and after party, and we talked to the Apple family about the food. So all thats left is invitati-" Bon Bon explained right before she was cut off by a speeding pink blur. "Hi! I have all the fun stuff set up for your wedding and I sent invitations to everypony in town!" Pinkie said bouncing happily. "Oh, thanks Pinkie Pie. In that case we better head home and get ready for tomorrow huh?" Lyra said smiling. Bon Bon knew exactly what she meant. Pinkie Pie apparently did too. "Okie dokey loki! See you guys later!" she said before speeding off in the direction of Sugarcube Corner. * * * Bon Bon stood at the altar, waiting for her love to come trotting down the aisle. She could not manage to get the smile to leave her face. It was the happiest moment of her life, by far. Then she jumped, as the wedding music started playing, signaling the her bride to start down the aisle. Lyra began trotting down the aisle. As she went she looked around. She could see many friends faces, and a few family members too. She was a bit sad though. Her parents had refused to come, saying that her marrying a mare was unnatural. When she made it to the altar the music stopped and the priest began to speak. "Mares and Gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to join these to mares in marriage." "If there is anypony who believes these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold you peace." The priest waited. Nopony said anything. "Lyra Heartsrings, do you take Bon Bon, in sickness and in health, through good and bad, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do." "And Bon Bon, do you take Lyra Heartsrings, in sickness and in health, through good and bad, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I Do." "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you Mare and Wife! You may now kiss your bride." Both Lyra and Bon Bon leaned in and kissed a kiss so passionate, it surpassed all other kisses they had ever given eachother. As they pulled apart and looked into eachothers eyes, they knew. This was the beginning of a wonderful new life. They turned and faced the cheering guests with a pleasant smile upon their lips.
