The Wedding

“Ow…” Titian said as Big Mac was fixing Titian’s bowtie. “You got hooves like sledge hammers.” Big Mac just smirked as Titian had larger hooves than him. “Is it normal for me to be nervous?”
“EEEyup.” Big Mac said and smirked.
“I’m nervous because there isn’t enough food to feed the entire apple family.” Titian said and Big Mac just chuckled.
“Are you ready?” Applejack asked from the barn door. She enter to show her in simple blue dress with her hair done up. “Looking good but lose the bowtie.” Titian looked at his bowtie and took it off show he was only in a dress shirt. “You look more comfortable and not in pain.” Titian unbuttons his top button and sighed in relief. “Ready now?”
“Yes and Big Mac will be there to help me stand if my legs give up.” Titian said and Big Mac nodded. Titian walked out of the barn and the aisle to the front.
It was simple wedding and with simple design with Rarity who did everything but she did keep it simple as ordered. There white silk sheet down the aisle, white silk sheets hanging from tree to tree on the lovely summer night sky in the background and standing as the preacher was Princess Luna. Princess Luna smiled at Titian and Titian smiled than looked out to the coward, mostly Apple family, the six manes that weren’t bride’s maids, and friends they made in Ponyville and Canterlot. Music started to play and Titian looked down the aisle to see Fluttershy and Big Mac walked down to the end. Big Mac stood beside Titian and Fluttershy walked to the other side on the bride’s maid. Next to come down was Applejack and Rainbow Dash and they were followed up by Autumn Runner holding the ringfilly, Rhamnella. After Autumn Runner got beside Rainbow Dash the bride's song Amur walked down the aisle holding the flowerfilly, Tsubaki and behind them was Isa in a simple white gown and veil over her face. Amur stood beside Applejack and Isa stood across of Titian.
“Mares and gentlestalltions, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Isa Pawstar and Titian Maple.” Princess Luna said and smiled. “The strength of their commitment is clear. The power of their love patient and strong as proof of their wonderful children. May we have the rings please?” Autumn Runner walked over and Rhamnella was chewing on the golden bracelets making most giggle or chuckled, even Prince Luna giggled. Titian put the smaller ring on Isa’s right hoof and Isa put the bigger ring on Titian’s right hoof. “I now pronounce you mare and stallion. You may kiss the bride.” Titian moved the veil and both leaned in and the two kiss. As they kissed Pinkie Pie set off her party cannon making Princess Luna fall onto her back.
“Oops.” Pinkie Pie said and giggled. Titian took Rhamnella in his left hoof and Isa took Tsubaki in her right hoof. The two walked down the aisle followed by their best ponies and bride’s maids and Titian and Isa head to the reception which was on the Apple’s farm. They set it up like a giant picnic and Titian and Isa found their spot under a tree with banner that said, ‘Bride & Groom’. Titian lay down and sighed in relief as his body finally was at rest and he allowed Rhamnella walk out of his hoof. Isa lay down beside Titian and kissed his cheek as he sighed in relief.
“We could have waited until you were fully healed.” Isa said and Tsubaki moved to her brother but both were tried. They curled up between their parents and fell asleep there.
“I know but I thought we get over with anyways it’s a simple wedding.” Titian said and nuzzled her back. Titian could see ponies coming over with food, drinks and they were putting the food on a picnic table. After the food was out the band went to the stage and started to set up but two ponies stood out as they were arguing about what music they were going play.
“Why can’t I set up my bass?” Vinyl Scratch yelled over dramatically and waving her arms at Octavia. “Please, Octy.”
“No, Vinyl.” Octavia said. “This is a wedding reception, not a night club.” Vinyl made pouting face at Octavia and Octavia was unfazed. “Ask the Groom and Bride if you’re getting the desperate to set up your bass.” Vinyl smiled and walked over to Isa and Titian.
“Hel-"
“We heard, Miss. Scratch,” Titian said and smiled. “But I think we stick with acoustic for this event because of these two.” Titian moved and showing the twins asleep making Vinyl take off her sunglasses.
“They’re so cute, unlike their father.” Vinyl said and cooed at the quietly. “I mean what happened to you man? Did you lose fight wi-”
“Vinyl!” Octavia yelled behind Vinyl and the twins woke up crying. “Oh I’m sorry, please stop crying.”
“Ahhh…Octy you woke the babies.” Vinyl said and cooed at the babies to calm them down but it didn’t work as the babies keep crying.
“Titian,” Isa said and looked at Titian. She gave him a smile and Titian sighed than cleared his throat.
“Alright.” Titian said and started to sing to the babies. His voice was deep and gravely but yet calm and fatherly. The twins yawned and curled up once more and fell asleep after Titian finished the song. Amur had nearby and she had curled up asleep on the ground making Autumn Runner looking at her with confusion.
“Dude…you got every rough voice.” Vinyl said and smiled. “But somehow it put asleep the twins and that mare over there.”
“Vinyl, that is his younger sister.” Octavia said and her eyes narrowed. “You met her when you saw the twins with me.” Vinyl blinked and looked at Octavia like she was nuts causing Octavia to groan.
“So how long have you two been a couple?” Isa asked and Octavia seemed to jump out of her skin. Vinyl opened her mouth but Octavia covered her mouth and pulled away.
“Sorry but we’re need at the stage.” Octavia panicked and pulled Vinyl away. Titian bit his lip to prevent himself from laughing and Isa nuzzled him.
“WHO BUT ALCOHOL THE PUNCH?!” Somepony yelled and Titian looked to see Applejack and Rainbow Dash making out. In the corner of Titian’s eye he saw Big Mac and Fluttershy kissing away from everyone. Titian chuckled and lay his head down and Isa laid her head on his neck.
“Love is in the air tonight.” Isa said and music started to play for the bride and groom to dance but Titian was in no shape to dance so Isa threw the bouquet of flowers making the bounce around the coward of unmarried mares causing them crashed in the wedding cake.
“Oh…my…” Fluttershy said and the bouquet land on her feet which she picked up. Titian got Isa’s garter and shot it. The unmarried stallions rushed for it, even Big Mac and with his body weight he was able to catch it.
“Ya, Fluttershy and Big Mac…” Rainbow Dash yelled as any drunken friend would say.
“Shut up and give me more of your awesomeness.” Applejack hiccuped and the two returned to sloppy drunk making out. Everyone was giggling and having fun as the night continues. Pictures were taken by little colt from the Apple family and most joked this was almost like an Apple family reunion with fancy music and dressing up.
