Eight Months Later...
“Almost done deary...aaand perfect!”
Rarity steps back from the dressing room podium and smiles proudly at her hard work.
“Wow Fluttershy! You look...”
“Amazing!”
“Awesome!”
“Pretty darn’ good lookin’ if ya’ ask me.”
Fluttershy’s friends awed at the beautifully-made dress that Rarity had designed for her. The bright, vivid colors of green and blue, along with some pink in the veil, showed off everything beautiful about Fluttershy. All of her favorite colors came together in a single dress that would mark this day as the happiest day of her life.
Her wedding day.
“I designed the side lace myself.” Rarity boasted, even if she knew that it was un-ladylike to do so. “My friends deserve the best, if not the utmost perfect of what I have to offer.” Rarity turned her head towards a nearby wall clock. “And just enough time to spare for me slip into my gown. Be right back!” Rarity grabbed a hairbrush along with a small case of face powder and sped off towards the private dressing rooms.
“Well Fluttershy, it’s your big day. How are you feeling?” Twilight asked.
“Happier than I have ever been before...” Fluttershy calmly uttered.
“Thanks again for making all uh’ us your bridesmaids Fluttershy.” Applejack added in.
“Ya! I’ve never been to a wedding before. I wonder what everypony will think about when they taste the special cake at the reception? The Cakes and I worked super-duper hard to make it perfect! Pinkie Pie said proudly.
“Hey, I think your parents arrived Fluttershy!” said Rainbow Dash as she peeked out through an opening in the dressing tent.
“I knew they would come!” said Fluttershy.
“Of course they came. Somepony’s gotta walk you down that aisle to your forever more love-to-be.” Twilight explained.
“Mmm...forever more love-to-be...” Fluttershy said to herself while she smiled and closed her eyes, relishing in the moment.
“E-excuse me? Miss Fluttershy? The ceremony starts in five minutes...” said a tiny colt pony who came in unexpectedly through the tent entrance.
“Oh! Thank you Pip.” said Fluttershy.
“That’s our cue everypony! Let’s take our places on the altar, c’mon.” Twilight directed her friends to the tent entrance and led them outside.
“Wait! Wait! Wait for me!” Rarity ran out of the dressing room garbed in her most formal ceremonial gown, but before she could bolt out of the tent, she turned to Fluttershy and placed a hoof on her shoulder.
“Fluttershy, good luck.” said Rarity.
“And we come to wish you good luck as well.”
Rarity and Fluttershy turned left and right to see who it was that spoke, until both of their jaws dropped straight to the floor when they saw that the two most unlikely characters to visit a small town wedding appeared at the tent entrance.
“P-princess Celestia? Princess Luna?” said a very surprised Fluttershy.
“Yes dearest Fluttershy, it is us.” Celestia started, “When Twilight sent word about your day of marriage, we decided upon ourselves to attend this momentous occasion.”
“Never before has an element holder took up upon the choice to get married. I suppose that you will be the first.” Princess Luna stated.
“W-wow. Thank you. Both of you” said Fluttershy.
“You’re very much welcome Fluttershy. Me and Luna will be off to the side to observe the wedding from a distance, security reasons and whatnot.” Celestia barredly explained while rolling her eyes.
“So with that, I say, good luck.” said Luna.
“And may the force be with you...”
~~~~~
“Aaand in three...two...one...”
Right on Twilight’s cue, the traditional wedding music of Ponyville started playing. Everypony rose from their seats in honor of the bride coming down the aisle with her father at her side. She looked off to the side for a moment to try and catch eye of the princesses. Some time later, she saw them sitting about fifty feet off to the left side of the altar, surrounded by her usual party of armored guards. Twilight was glad that she invited both of them so they could witness the first ever eternal bonding between one of the elements of harmony and their lover.
The music slowed to a stop as Fluttershy reached her destination at the top of the altar. She looked deep into her lover’s eyes as the Ponyville ring bearers, also known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders (who were chosen after several days-worth of lectures about behavior and manners from Rarity), walked through the aisle and up to the base of the altar podium, where all of three of them presented the two diamond rings that would tie the knot on the eternal bond of love and serenity. Once the ring bearers backed away off to the side, the wedding envower stepped up to the top of the podium at the altar and began to speak.
“Friends, family, and ponies alike. We are all gathered here today, to celebrate the sacred bonding of these two ponies in love.” The envower turned to Fluttershy to continue the ceremony. “Fluttershy, do you accept this pony, the one you love, into your life, to share and belong, in eternal matrimony?”
Fluttershy turned away and looked deep into your eyes once more before speaking, “I do.” The envower bowed to her and then turned over to you.
“And do you, accept Fluttershy, into your life as a lover, to share and belong, in eternal matrimony?”
“I do.” you reply. The envower bowed to you, then turned back towards the crowd of eager ponies.
“Then, by the power invested to me, and by the power of the elements of harmony, and by the sacred traditions of an envower’s proclaiming words, I now pronounce both of you, married, in eternal bonding and happiness.”
This was it. This was the moment you had been waiting for your whole life. The one moment you had longed for, ever since you first locked eyes with the beautiful pegasus before you, this one moment was finally about to make your life whole.
Then, it came.
“You may now, kiss the bride.”
Not a even a millisecond later, you and your new wife closed the distance between each other’s lips, locking them together, sealing the deal.
From everywhere, ponies cheered, friends chanted your name and congratulatory words, and the love of your life, the kindest, most caring pony to ever exist, cried tears of joy as the kiss deepened.
Unfortunately, the kiss had to come to an end at some time. You both retracted lips and embraced each other in a deep, loving hug. Your mane soaked up most of Fluttershy’s still-flowing tears. Being sneaky, you backed up a foot or two and slipped the diamond ring, which was attached to a long, golden necklace, over her neck. Fluttershy did the same to you soon afterward.
After a minute or so had gone by, you both pulled away from the hug and started down the altar steps towards Twilight and the other girls, who immediately ran up to congratulate their newly-wed friend.
Once all the congratulatory cheers were over and done, Fluttershy returned to your side and leaned her head against your neck in the usual fashion. You moved your head down and locked lips with her once more, but only for a brief moment.
“Soooo...” Pinkie Pie started.
“Who’s up for wedding cake?”
Over already?

Sad that it ended?...
Hopefully
EDIT: That came out wrong.
Anyway, there is a BIG possibility for a sequel.
"May be the force with you" xD
Only Pinkie Pie would care about the cake like that.
Sequel!!!!!!
I am also really depressed that this ended so quickly like you've probably noticed if you've read my other comments. I just wish this was longer it seems very rushed, but a sequel sounds nice!
The "May be the force with you" put a smile on my face.
It's over!
Sequel?
Aww, this was great! I hope there's a sequel.
Also, this feels more like a regular final chapter instead of an epilogue. I'd imagine an epilogue on this would be some years later with a kid or something. Just sayin'
This makes me happy
I must say, this story was quite adorable. I am not at all opposed to a sequel.
Here's to you!

"Ya! I’ve never been to a wedding before" ...
Lol hindsight.
Yay! Was the pony officiating the vows Mr. Wattles? (seen with a clergyman's collar in "Hearts & Hooves" )
...Yes. Just...Yes.
LOVED THIS STORY! Excellent plot development, a plethora of alarmingly cute moments, and it's ƒluttershy!!!
Well I personally think that you could have let the romantic mystery go on for a bit longer but the story still works just as well^^ It was a real pleasure to read this^^ I didnt know Fluttershy could get any cuter than she already is^^
"Me and Luna"
I believe its "Luna and I."
Anyways for this you get

Awesome work loved it.
That was a GREAT story!
Here, have a moustache.
I know that this is very late in the story's history, but still this needs to be said.
You did a damn, amazingly great, grand, perfect job at writing this my friend. I am going to learn from your writing to better my own. I will be reading your other stories just to get more of your awesomness into my head.
You pulled my heartstrings man.....well done BRAVO!!!!!
This makes me wish the story was my real life and the real world was just a fantasy.
I waited for 8 mouths for fluttershy and my wedding day I am lucky guy
I'm a 19-year-old young man who doesn't have any sisters, whose only close female cousins are prepubescent, and who has never had a girlfriend (mostly because I've never been interested in dating any, and basically not being that social a person). So I am completely serious, and honestly curious, when I ask 'why do women like makeup so much'.
Just bamboozles me, that.
"Luna and I". Quick tip: if you want to know whether 'me and X' or 'X and I' are correct for any given sentence, remove the 'and X' part.
For example, if you remove the 'and Luna' part, you're left with "Me will be off to the side". That doesn't sound right. What about "I will be off to the side"? Yep, that sounds a lot better. So it must be "Luna and I will be off to the side".
---_____--- Yeah, I really did not like Episode VII. Why wasn't Leia a Jedi? The fact that she was Force-sensitive was an important plot point in the original three movies (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and especially Return of the Jedi), yet...nothing. Huh. Also miffed about the non-Tatooine desert planet, the non-Kashyyyk/Yavin IV forest planet, the non-Coruscant city planet...why invent a brand-new set of planets? Also, I know Han Solo's actor, Harrison Ford, 'no longer wanted to do Han' or something, but...sigh. He was one of my favourite characters, and to see him so quickly killed off...urgh. Where did the Stormtrooper-wannabes come from? I know the prequel trilogy is still a controversial topic, but Attack of the Clones showed that the Kaminoans created the clone army for the Jedi, then Revenge of the Sith had Palpatine use Order 66 to instantly convert them to anti-Jedi forces, thus transforming them into what would later be called 'Stormtroopers'. Here I thought the Kaminoans would cease their production of the clones after the funding dried up, following Palpatine's death. So where did this new batch come from?
Finally...why make Rey the main protagonist? Yeah, there's the 'I'm not a fan of heroines' factor, but there's also the fact that Rey was never really trained; the original trilogy displayed Luke being trained (on Tatooine, then the Millennium Falcon, then Dagobah). Yet she can go up against Kylo Ben, the First Order's seeming-commander? Who had previously received training from Luke, the last of the Jedi? BULL.
I liked the rebellious-Stormtrooper dude - Finn, I believe - a lot more than her, because he actively rebuked the 'First Order' by leaving it. Then, despite not being Force-sensitive, he still used a lightsaber. Then he actually battled Kylo Ben himself. There's also the facts that he's a dude, and had a military background (ex-Stormtrooper), so he would actually know how to act in a fight.
Plus...where the hell did the First Order come from? Why did they callously detonate multiple planets? What, only destroying one (Alderaan) wasn't enough? You just had to 'up the stakes', when obliterating one planet at a time would already count as a 'high stakes' threat? Heck, we don't even know anything about most of the now-destroyed planets, and they did not matter to any of the characters (Alderaan was the home of Padmé, so it baffles me why Darth "Anakin Skywalker" Vader would allow it to die; it was also the home of Leia). Pointless.
Also, I repeat: WHERE DID THE FIRST ORDER COME FROM? Everything was hunky-dory after Return of the Jedi, and I don't read comics or novels. So another dark organisation sprouting up from nowhere...yeah, no.
Star Wars rant over...wait a minute. How would Princesses Celestia and Luna know of Star Wars...?
