She allowed her mask to slip enough to roll her eyes and focus her attention towards Luna, who was strengthening Twilight’s crown for the twentieth time. Twilight’s ear flicked, knocking it off kilter again and Luna groaned. “Twilight Sparkle, as your best friend and your best mare, I implore you to listen to me.” Luna once again took hold of the gold crown in her magic. “Huh wha?” Twilight turned to her right, her left eye twitching. “In just a few moments, your bride is going to come through those doors. Do you truly want her to see you looking like this?” Luna lifted an eyebrow at her. Twilight looked down at herself. She was sweaty, her suit stuck to her fur in places it shouldn’t have been. That’s going to start itching soon… Twilight nodded and cast a quick clean spell over herself. Her mane was brought back into the simple pony tail she had pulled it back in. The two strands which fell over her ears flowed in the solar wind which surrounded all three of them. She bit her lip as she felt Luna’s magic on her chest fixing the magic medallion settled upon it. “Thanks, that thing never seems to want to be straight, not for me and not for…” Twily, I don’t have long left on this realm… I’ve lived a wonderful life being with Cadance and being your big brother. That’s why I need to tell you. I’ve always known Twily. I’ve known how you and she fell for each other. Those hidden looks and soft touches. Hey, no worries, I’m not angry. I mean, it just means you both have excellent taste. Twily, when I’m gone, follow your heart. Be with her. Love her. Don’t let her be alone promise me. The procession music started and Twilight stood tall as her bride entered the hall. No veil covered her face. Twilight would’ve hated being unable to see her face. A smile lit up her beautiful muzzle as she came to stand beside her. Twilight wanted so to reach out to touch her. Screw protocol. She touched Cadance’s side with a feather tip. The smile she received in response… “Thank you for coming, Mares and Gentlecolts. We are gathered her to unite Princess Twilight Sparkle and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza in love and harmony.” Celestia smiled at the couple who had eyes for only the other. She continued on, reciting the ceremony that she had performed for so many before, but rarely for ones she held so closely. “I, Princess Twilight Sparkle, take thee, Princess Cadance, as my lawful wedded wife to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, as long as we both shall live.” “I, Princess Cadance, take thee, Princess Twilight Sparkle, as my lawful wedded husband to have and to hold in sickness and in health as long as we both shall live.” Two horn rings levitated in front of them. Twilight’s horn lit up as she took one within her grasp, sliding it upon Candace's horn. “I give thee this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity.” Cadance smiled feeling the familiar weight on the crown of her horn she almost gasped in realization as she took Twilight’s ring within her magic. This was Shining Armor’s ring… A tear falling down her cheek, Cadance smiled, sliding the gift down Twilight's horn. “I give thee this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity.” “With that, I am honored to pronounce you mare and wife.” Celestia allowed her wings to spread as the hall cheered for their Princesses. Love and Friendship; they really were one in the same. Twilight kissed away Cadance’s tears before kissing her muzzle softly. At the back of the room, a stallion leaned against the wall. He noticed Princess Luna smile at him and he nodded, a huge grin on his muzzle. “Way to go, Twily.” Luna watched as he slowly vanished from even her sight. Rest well now Shining Armor rest well.
