"I, Twilight Sparkle take you, Supreme Princess Sun Butt to be my lawfully wedded wife." Twilight raised a gingerbread cookie with a hole poked the center and rested it on the pure white horn that lowered to meet it. "Do you Princess Sun Butt take Twilight sparkle to be your lawfully wedded wife as well?"

Celestia smiled an leaned down to nuzzle the young unicorn. "I do."

The purple filly giggled at the nuzzle before speaking again. "Then I now pronounce you mare and mare."

Celestia pulled a gingerbread cookie out of the package and used her magic to make a hole in it, "Can't forget your ring Twilight." She placed it over the fillies horn who started giggling uncontrollably,

"Do you think this could ever happen for real Tia?" Twilight looked up at her teacher with a smile.

Celestia smiled warmly. "Who knows, maybe someday. There are no laws against it so no pony can say it won't."

Twilight smiled and burrowed into Celestia's chest with a contented sigh. "I hope so."

Celestia shook her head and the room came back into focus. The mare kneeling before her with a box of gingerbread cookies, a ring nestled in the middle of the box. Her wings shook at her sides and her breath was held as she held the box in front of Celestia with her magic. Slowly a golden surrounded the ring and a smile split the white mares face as a tear trailed down her cheek. "I do."

Twilight's head rose as she took a deep breath and wrapped her fiance in a bone crushing hug. She began hopping in a circle on her back hooves while squeezing the love of her life to death, her shouts of yes echoing around the hall and drawing the eyes of many a curious noble and guard. After she finally settled down She brought her one time teacher, then lover and now soon to be wife into a deep kiss.

After they broke Celestia blushed a little. "I am so glad I decided to court you Twilight, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought this would happen though."

Twilight smiled. "Do you remember when I was a filly and we used to have mock weddings with gingerbread cookies as rings. I ave never forgotten those times. I was to young back then to understand what it meant but after watching my friends and even Luna tie the knot it dawned on me what I was missing. Then you came looking for romance. It was a dream come true, and a great boon for the gingerbread cookie makers." Twilight blushed and Celestia smiled.

"Those always were your favorite. Maybe that should be the wedding them. Gingerbread cathedral, gingerbread chairs, gingerbread cake." A mischievous smirk crossed her lips as Twilight blushed and wiped a little drool from her lips.

"Maybe, I bet pinkie would love to do the baking for all that." She turned and together, leaning against each other, they left down the hall to get dinner and begin planning. Behind them a guard darted forward and grabbed the abandoned package of cookies with a smile and hid them in his armor for later.
