Twilight was in the dressing room getting into the dress Rarity had designed for her.
"Are you almost done in there, darling?" Rarity asked. "I can't wait to see you in that wedding dress I made you!"
"Almost done," Twilight claimed.
A few beats later, the dressing room opened. "Okay, I'm ready!" Twilight said.
Twilight revealed a beautiful, flowing wedding gown. Rarity gasped in pure awe.
"Well, how do I look?" Twilight asked, trying to contain her excitement.
"Twilight, you're beautiful!" Rarity exclaimed.
"Thank you so much for the dress!" Twilight said. "I love it!"
"Aw, no problem," Rarity said. "I made you a bridal bouquet!"
Rarity gave the bouquet to Twilight who smiled in delight.
"It's beautiful!" Twilight breathed. "I'll save it to hold at the wedding!"
At that moment, a royal guard opened the door. "Permission to interrupt, your highness?"
"Go ahead, sir," Twilight said.
"Your friends requested you to check on the preparations to make sure you like them," the royal guard claimed. "Is that okay with you, your highness?"
"You should probably check on the others," Rarity suggested. "I still have to make dresses for the rest of us."
"Okay! Bye, Rarity!" Twilight said. Twilight turned to the guard and said, "Yes, sir. I would love to see the rest of the preparations."
"Okay," the royal guard said. "Follow me, your majesty. I will lead you to your first friend and then be out of your way."
Twilight followed the royal guard to the kitchen. Twilight nodded as a sign of "thank you" to the royal guard and he bowed before he left.
"Twilight!" Applejack exclaimed. "Come try my new recipe! I want to see if you want it for your wedding or not."
"Of course!" Twilight replied. "What is it?"
"Apple Cinnamon Fries," Applejack said. "I know you've seen them before, but I perfected them with a new recipe."
Twilight tried a fry. "Mmm!" she said, cheerfully. She let the taste take in. "Mmm," she said, blissfully.
Applejack laughed a bit. "You like them?"
"Applejack, there has to be a lot of these at my wedding!" Twilight said.
Applejack giggled. "I'll get right to it," she said. "Of course, I'm bringing all my other apple foods too."
"And they're all delicious!" Twilight complimented.
"Why, thank you!" Applejack said.
"I'm going to see how Fluttershy is doing with her birds," Twilight said. "Keep it up!"
Twilight entered the garden Fluttershy was teaching her birds in.
"Hey, Fluttershy," Twilight said. "How is the music coming?"
"Well, I composed an original for you," Fluttershy replied.
"Aw, thank you!" Twilight said. "I'd love to listen to it."
"Okay, everyone!" Fluttershy said to her birds. "From the top!"
The birds sang a beautiful melody Fluttershy had made just for Twilight. The air was filled with beautiful songs from the birds.
"It's beautiful!" Twilight exclaimed when the birds had finished. "Thank you! I already know Pinkie is doing a great job, so I'll check up on Rainbow Dash. Keep it up!"
Twilight went to the spot where Rainbow Dash was practicing her move for the ceremony.
Rainbow Dash was far from getting it right. She screamed as she crashed into the ground sliding across the grass. She groaned, miserably.
"Rainbow!" Twilight exclaimed. "Are you okay?!"
"How could you ask me for something as hard as this?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Because I know you can do it," Twilight said. "I wanted you to expand your flying skills."
"No worries, Twilight," Rainbow Dash assured her. "I'll get it down by the ceremony tonight."
"I know you will," Twilight said.
Rarity rushed outside. "I've got all the girls dressed! Well, all but Rainbow."
"I can barely wait!" Twilight squealed.
"Neither can we!" Rarity said.
After all the preparations, it was finally time for the ceremony. The crowd sat, impatiently wondering when it was going to start.
Her friends had snagged a seat in the second row, just after her parents, her brother and his wife, and her niece in the first row.
"I think I finally got it down!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"See? We knew you could!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Thank you all for believing in me," Rainbow Dash said.
"No problem, Rainbow," Applejack replied.
"I can't believe she's getting married tonight!" Rarity squealed. "We're all so grown up!"
Spike took his place as the wedding preacher as the groom, Flash Sentry, walked out onto the platform.
"You ready for this, Flash?" Spike asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Flash said, a bit nervously.
Spike smiled and signaled Fluttershy. Fluttershy got up and went over to her birds. She took her conducting stick and lead the birds in the original song.
Twilight, holding her bouquet, came down the aisle. Everypony in the audience watched as she made her way to where Flash was standing, her wedding dress flowing behind her. As Twilight took her place across from Flash, the birds ended the song.
"We are gathered here today to tie two hearts in marriage," Spike said. "Love forms from friendship. Two friends can one day become true lovers. Love is found everywhere. All around the globe. Ponies always making a big step in their life to be sealed as one for eternity. And with that, I say..."
Spike pulled out two rings. One was in a chain form for Flash and the other was for Twilight's horn.
"Do you, Flash Sentry, take Twilight Sparkle to be your lawfully wedded wife until death, do you part?" Spike asked.
"I... I do," Flash said.
"And do you, Twilight Sparkle," Spike said. "take Flash Sentry to be your lawfully wedded husband until death, do you part?"
"I do," Twilight said.
Spike slipped the rings onto the two ponies. The chain ring was around Flash Sentry's neck and the normal ring had its place on Twilight's horn.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," Spike said. "You may kiss---"
Spike didn't get to finish his sentence before Twilight kissed her husband. The crowd roared with cheers. Rainbow Dash took this as her cue and soared off into the air. She did a Sonic Rainboom, but in the form of a heart. She kept surrounding this heart with her rainbow trail to light it up. The crowd went wild as Rainbow Dash landed back on the ground.
"That was so cool!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
"Thank you, Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Congratulations!" Fluttershy said. "We love you, Twilight!"
"I love you too, girls!" Twilight said.
The Mane 6 had a group hug.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders came up to Twilight. They were all 10 years older and no longer fillies. They were now quite beautiful mares with a love for music.
"Hey, Twilight," said Sweetie Belle. "Are we about on?"
"Yes, let's hit the dancefloor, everypony!" Twilight announced.
The crowd all rushed out eagerly to the dancefloor, but Flash and Twilight walked arm in arm. The Mane 6 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders decided to walk by them.
"So, who's the lead singer?" Twilight asked Sweetie Belle.
"We all take turns!" Sweetie Belle replied. "I sing lead for pop, Scoots sings lead for rock, and Apple Bloom sings lead for country."
"Um... is Scootaloo's voice okay?" Twilight said, quietly to Sweetie Belle.
"Scootaloo has a great voice!" Sweetie Belle said. "The week we sang in the talent show she was testing Zecora's sour note potion."
"Well, it worked..." Twilight said.
"Besides, the electric guitar was just invented and Scootaloo and is a literal rock star on it!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.
Scootaloo grinned at Sweetie Belle.
They arrived at the dancefloor and the Cutie Mark Crusaders stepped up onto the stage.
"How's everypony doing tonight?!" Sweetie Belle asked the crowd.
The crowd cheered.
"Um... we said: How's everypony doing tonight?!" Scootaloo exclaimed.
The crowd went wild.
"Much better," Scootaloo said.
"Now Flash, don't worry if life gets you down cause she's your girl!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders began to play a pop upbeat song that Sweetie Belle sang the lead to. As the Cutie Mark Crusaders played the song and sang, everypony danced. Twilight invited all her family and friends to take pictures and dance with her throughout the song.
When the song was over, the audience cheered and stomped the ground.
"Twily!"
"Shining Armor!" Twilight exclaimed.
She rushed over to her big brother and gave him a hug. He was also with his wife, Princess Cadence, and his daughter Princess Flurry Heart.
"Why do I shed liquid pride at all of your events?" Shining Armor asked, in tears of joy.
They giggled.
"I'm so proud of you, Twilight!" Cadence exclaimed.
"Thank you, Cadence!" Twilight said.
"Aunt Twilight!!" squealed Flurry Heart, excitedly.
Flurry Heart hugged her aunt.
"Flurry Heart!" Twilight exclaimed. "Aww, how old are you now?"
"I'm 8 now," Flurry Heart said.
"No," Twilight said, teasingly.
Flurry Heart giggled and nodded, excitedly.
"You're not allowed to grow up on me, missy!" Twilight teased, lifting Flurry Heart up playfully.
They laughed.
Cadence took Flurry Heart back as Twilight set her down.
"Oh, before Flash and I go, we need to do the bouquet toss!" Twilight remembered.
Flash climbed into the carriage as Twilight prepared to toss the bouquet. The crowd stood readily.
"I'll never catch it..." said a saddened Rarity.
"Never say that!" Applejack encouraged.
"Right! We'll help you!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
Applejack and Pinkie Pie held Rarity to guide her to the direction where Twilight had the bouquet. Twilight held it to the right and they lead Rarity to the right.
"She's gonna throw it this way!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
Twilight switched directions back and forth, playfully. Applejack and Pinkie Pie kept leading Rarity back and forth to follow its direction.
"Twilight!" Rarity finally shouted. "Make up your mind!"
Twilight made it look like she was gonna toss it right, but quickly tossed it left.
Rarity frowned. "You did that on purpose..."
At this time, Rainbow Dash was talking to Soarin, her special somepony. As she was talking, the bouquet landed in her hooves.
"What the...?" Rainbow Dash said.
Pinkie Pie gasped, excitedly. "Rainbow!" she squealed. "You caught Twilight's bouquet! That means you're next!"
"Say whatna whathuh?" Rainbow Dash said.
Soarin laughed. "Great job."
Rainbow Dash laughed nervously and blushed.
"Goodnight, everypony!" Twilight said.
With that, Flash and Twilight rode off in the carriage together.
"Rainbow, speaking of bridal bouquets, there's a little something I need to ask you," Soarin said, leading her to the side.
Rainbow Dash gasped. "You can't be serious..."
