I had Celestia’s head resting on my shoulder throughout the ride to Sugarcube Corner, the sun was setting, some time in when we arrive, Celestia will lower the sun and Luna will raise the moon.
But the pair of us felt so relaxed, we were MARRIED! Husband and Wife! YEEAAAHHHHH! WHOOOOOOOOO! Excited might needed be added to the emotion list.
We arrived at Sugarcube Corner, it was time to greet all the guests and get cameras flashed in my face, but you can’t win them all.
“A pity the ride wasn’t longer, I enjoyed resting on your shoulder” Celestia says as we get out.
“Fear not my Princess, we shall have plenty of that once we get to the Crystal Shores” I assure her.
The Crystal Shores was a special tourist spot near the Crystal Empire, on a Icy beach but the weather is as warm as the Crystal Empire and it’s known to be very soothing and had long history with the crystal ponies before Sombra showed up.
Everypony was already there waiting for us as Pinkie greeted us.
“Hi Jason! Hi Princess! Congratulations on the marriage, cooooommmeee on in!” Pinkie bounced in front of us.
“Thank you Pinkie” Celestia gave Pinkie a smile as we entered.
Just as we entered, the pony parts disappeared…awww, I wanted to see how they worked. Why can’t these just be permanent or not, just make up your mind!
Anywho, the second Celestia saw cake she…well, let’s just say Rainbow Dash is no longer the fastest pony in Equestria. As I watched Celestia devour cake, Luna came over to talk to me.
“Hello dearest Brother-in-Law, welcome to the family!” Luna greeted.
“Thanks Luna, I wouldn’t have made it without you” I reply.
“Nay, the thanks do not lie with us, if thou wishes to thank anypony, thou wouldst thank Cadence, but thou must admit that thy actions have proven thyself as a worthy suitor to Tia” Luna shakes her head.
“Thank you Luna, I promise I’ll look after Celestia” I say to her.
“Thou might want to hasten on that promise, we fear our sister may be overdoing it on the cake” Luna points out to Celestia eating the cake.
“Hey Celestia! Save some for us!” I call out to her.
Celestia heard us but didn’t reply to me at all, nothing stops her from cake, NOTHING!.
“I suppose it’s fair warning to issue our sister of the royal dietarian’s wrath when the pair of thee return” Luna says as she watches Celestia eat more cake.
“Don’t worry, I’ll pass the warning. As much as I would like to talk further, I must find the other ponies I wish to see before we leave” I end the conversation.
“Of course Brother-in-Law, we shan’t keep you” Luna says as she leaves.
I turn to find Princess Cadence waiting for me. Guess she's here to congratulate me.
“Hello Cadence” I say as she comes near me.
“Hello Jason, Congratulations, you’re married now!” Cadence squealed as I was hugged.
“Thanks Cadence, although could you loosen the grip, otherwise Pinkie might sue for the death hug grip” I say
Cadence then let go of me, Alicorns I swear are going to be the death of me, if so, it has to be Celestia.
“Oops, sorry! But welcome to the royal family Jason, are you excited to be here or what?” Cadence says to me.
“Yes, I am. I am so happy this is finally here” I say honestly.
“I was like that when I was at my wedding for real, I do hope you enjoy the honeymoon and…don’t go too crazy with Aunt Celestia will you?” Cadence remembered her own wedding
“No promises there Cadence, Celestia’s the crazy one out of us I reckon, I’m the guy who gets roped into too many things for my own good” I reply.
“Oh, I think you cause quite the trouble, unintentionally but I guess Alicorns like that in stallions…and humans” Cadence thinks I’m a chaos maker.
“Based on yours and Celestia’s marriage, might need more info on that one when Luna and Twilight marry” I say like I know what I’m talking about.
“Hmmm, we’re gonna have to get onto those two at some point, Twily will be extra fun to tease, as well as Luna but not as much” Cadence is plotting in her head already.
She definitely has it all planned out, I’ll bet you ten bits.
“Didn’t Twilight have her eye on some Pegasus named…Flash Sentry I think?” I ask Cadence.
“Uh…about that…see, I was trying to get Twilight to start thinking about love so I may or may not have asked Flash to clumsily knock into Twilight a few times, the best I got was Twilight blushing a few times but it never came anything. Also, I was going to try again but you and Celestia happened so there’s that…” Cadence explained to me.
“You’re diabolical you know that?” I grin at her.
“I know, but it’s for love. Nothing beats the power of love!” Cadence replies.
Is it bad that I remember The Power of Love song from Back to the Future?
“Well, I’ll leave you to it” Cadence says as she goes.
I talked to many guests, each had their congratulations, though I did ask Twilight how she was allowed to be the pony doing the ceremony and apparently she took a course back in her teenage days when she was going through…that phase.
It was almost time for a speech but I noticed one thing, Spike was eyeing a blue mare with white stripes in the mane, I think she was one of Twilight’s old friends from Canterlot.
That said, although this was my wedding, I am a bro at heart always, I must help my young drake bro get some, it is my duty as a member of the bro race.
“Hey Spike” I say to him from behind, making him jump.
“Hey Jason, you scared me there” Spike says clutching his heart.
“Sorry but I couldn’t help noticing you staring at that fine mare over there” I explained why I was here.
“Fine? Shouldn’t you not be saying that around Celestia?” Spike asked me.
“Maybe, but I’ll take the risk to see a brother through. So what’s the deal?” I ask Spike.
“Well, she’s one of Twilight’s old friends…and mine and ever since she came back and Rarity rejected me…she looks nicer…” Spike explained to me.
“Yes, you may have a crush on dear…what’s her name?” I ask Spike the identity of the mare.
“Minuete, although she once had a nickname of Colgate” Spike tells me.
“I see, and what are you going to do about her? Because this staring game is getting old” I ask Spike of his plan.
“Uh well, she is older and we only ever talked a few times and…” Spike started.
Uh oh, he’s going into quitter talk, I SAY SILENCE! Begone from Spike’s mind.
“Spike, let me be the one to say this but maybe this is why Rarity didn’t like you romantically, you have no confidence in yourself and you act like a pincushion. But that can all change on one bit of advice…” I tell Spike honestly
“What then?” Spike asks me.
“Confidence Spike, females no matter the universe, no matter how tough or gentle they are admire confidence, you don’t need a Love Princess to tell you that one. There is something about a confident man/stallion/drake than turns on the fair female and even if you don’t feel confident, just appear to be, once you get to a certain position it won’t matter if you are confident or not, she’ll love you for who you are. Now I see one of two ways, Spike. One: You ask her out and she may say yes or no and if yes, awesome, if no, oh well. Two: You wait to ask her out and you repeat the whole Rarity thing when you could have had more time with Minuete or just let of It if you got rejected. I strongly suggest you take the first one.” I say to Spike
“I’ll do it Jason but I’m…nervous” Spike still doesn’t feel confident.
“I was nervous around Celestia at first, it takes time. But an old saying my dad used to say “Nothing Starts until YOU take action”, I want you to take action, you are right to be nervous but bravery is doing it anyway despite the nervousness, I was nervous as hell when I went down that isle, if I can do that, you can too Spike, cause I believe, now go! Ask her out! Full confidence and no looking back! If you do, I'll ask Twilight to double your chores.” I say as I get Spike to walk to Minuete (If anything, nopony likes more chores).
Spike takes a deep breath and walks over to Minuete, he says some words and she smiled as the pair go to the dance floor, Spike you fucking beauty! Well, that’s my bro duty done, I must go. My wife needs me…I would fly off epically but my wings disappeared.
That said, Celestia and I went to the table after 10 minutes and we had to go afterwards for out trip into the Crystal Shores. I ended up having a slice of cake...of so YUMMINESS! Yes that sentence made no sense but it's good damn cake, you shouldn't have to question the describing of it's yummy flavor!
Mares and Gentlecolts, may I have your attention please?” Dash says into the microphone.
Everypony pays attention to Rainbow Dash now.
“Awesome, it is almost time for our pair of awesome lovebirds to go into their honeymoon. But first a few words from yours truly and then I shall hand it over to Princess Luna and then, a goodbye to our couple” Dash says in the microphone.
Dash then clears her throat for the most sappiest speech in her life probably.
“When I met Jason Anderson, he recently arrived from Earth, his home planet. A confused guy alone in his race. He was a cool guy but the new world was big on him, but then years later, here we are and he is an awesome baker and married to Princess Celestia, need I say more? He’s my best friend, we hang out and we tell each other how things are going and when I heard he was dating Celestia, I couldn’t believe it much less when he asked her to marry him. I guess all of us as friends and family could be said to be one harmonic family as I am saying the most sappy words ever, I just want to say one thing to you Jason, good on you! Let’s hear it for the groom!” Dash says her speech.
A thunderous applause rained through the venue, I felt touched. I promise I'll save a good speech for you when you get married Dash! Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye! Luna went up to the microphone to do her speech to Celestia.
“Greetings subjects, as all of thee knows, our sister has finally been married after many years. Our sister has been so much in her life to get to this night, she has bested many monsters, even us as Nightmare Moon, but now she has bested something not quite as a monster but a challenge as well: Love. Sister, you know we art with all the way and we all wish thee the best of wishes into married life, we hope we may follow thy hoofsteps into married life someday as well” Luna said her speech.
I remembered what Cadence said, perhaps we really gotta get Twilight and Luna some love, especially Luna, she’s been single forever now! Luna walked down from her speech with the same applause, it was almost time to go.
Five Minutes later we were walking out the door, many had cheered as we got in our chariot, I let Celestia go in first as being polite and I followed suit (Ha! Get it, cause I’m wearing a suit? No?). It was off to the Crystal Shores.
“Are you ready to leave for the Crystal Shores?” The guard at the front asked.
“We are, make it so” Celestia answered.
“As you wish, your highness” the guard answered.
And we were off! Up into the sky heading north, our chariot was closed in but I did peak out the window to see the Ponyville and Canterlot lights. After a few minutes the take-off feeling had settled and Celestia’s head was on my right shoulder.
“You know what Celly? I think Starswirl did good after all with the pair of us, still gonna smash that statue when we get back though” I say to Celestia.
“Hmm, he was quite a stallion back in the day, but he did cause quite some chaos, I wouldn’t do it in front of Twilight” Celestia replied, not moving her head.
“Yes…well there is one more thing I'd like to share. There is one tradition about a wedding from Earth I remember, when the female marries the male, the female’s last name is changed to the male’s last name. Ponies don’t really have last names but if you were in my world and I guess here in a way, you’d be Celestia Anderson” I say a tradition of Earth that we had.
“Interesting, I shall keep the name if you prefer” Celestia says.
“Only if you want, this isn’t Earth after all. But in that tradition in the movies, when the husband and wife are dancing or driving off at a wedding, the man looks at his darling wife and say “I love you Mrs. ______” and the wife would reply “I love you too Mr. ______”, a bit cliché but I would like to say it because I’ve always wanted to say it when I got married, so here goes…I love you Mrs. Anderson” I say the one last thing.
I didn’t expect Celestia to reply back, after all, it was just a little fun movie cliché I always wanted to say back when I was younger to whomever I’d marry, I’m surprised I remembered it.
“It’s quite a weird name I’ve been given but…I love you too Mr. Anderson” Celestia smiles as she leans in.
We shared one more kiss after that, you know what I call that kiss? The Everything-is-all-right-now Kiss! And besides…
I know for certain, that everything is going to be just fine!
THE END!
