Love love LOVE it! You did we'll, can't wait to read the next chapter!

Gotta love Celestia's word choice in all this, though to be fair we have the benefit of hindsight and know what she's specifically aiming for.

At one point, I was going to have Celestia just tell them, but this is more interesting, I think. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

This is great! It is very neatly written, has a good pacing and believable take on what happened shortly before S1. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback! The pacing was one of my biggest concerns.

Please continue... :fluttercry:
Also, you left out the three supposed guards tailing the princess and her personal guard.

3606223 I considered including something about those three, but I felt like it would just break the pace and be awkward. I introduced them there because I needed to show Shining Armor as a developing leader, a future Captain. I do have plans for Cherry Fizzy, Star Hunter, and Sunburst though.

Writing has slowed down a lot because of schoolwork, I’ll post the next chapter after finals. :ajsleepy:

Whoah! I am not forcing you to quicken the pace or anything. I was only stating a point of sorts over the three having been acting as incognito Royal Guard ponies, Shining Armor needing to do his job and an escort of Guards was truly not a good idea in meeting friends.

This chapter was nice, love the ending of it, lovely.

That was so sweet. I can't wait for Twilight velvet and Nightlight to tease them.

That final scene was absolutely heartwarming. The rest of the chapter is no slouch, either. I love the clever phrasing of Celestia's, just dripping with dramatic irony. Apart from that, love those cameos (especially Fleur and Fancy), and love the interactions between Shiny and Cadance.

This is a really charming story, and one covering an interesting part of the timeline from a fun perspective! I like this version of the growing relationship between Cadance and Shining.

Celestia seems very confident that things with Nightmare Moon will work out... At least she doesn't seem to be saying goodbye in any kind of guarded manner. Of course, she didn't send Twilight off with any emotional words either, so I guess that's not surprising, although I suppose that she could have left some kind of messages for them all in the event that things went badly.

Looking forward to seeing them party the night away, and what happens when the dawn doesn't come. I'm also curious to see what Blueblood is going to do.

There was no real crisis after all.

“What I mean is, I want our wedding day to be perfect.”

“Well, we’re safe then. Things are going our way.”

Why must you ponies tempt fate so?!

Nope you certainly didn't forget anybody, why would you ever think that? :twilightoops: :facehoof: :twilightangry2:

Heavy implications of Season 2 Canterlot Wedding Episode.

At least Velvet say nothing about grandchildren.

HN-

When's the next update? Unless this story is dead :(

4610644 It's coming. My biggest worry is that ... I'm not a very good writer. I'm trying to go for quality over speed, so I'm sorry for the wait

Man this is really great beginning for the story. I was all giddy about reading the Shining Armor's part and especially his uncle. Can really see where he got his inspiration.

5425019 I ... oh man. I started writing this over a year ago, and I stopped because I didn't feel like I was doing it justice.

I'll pick it up again, but I need to fix it first. Would you mind if I cut most of the OCs and changed "Blaze's" name?

I'm putting this "on haitus" until fixes are complete ...

“Is there anypony else we forgot to tell?”

Pffthahaha :rainbowlaugh:

Oh I really enjoyed this fic.

Well it's your story. Do what you think is best, so far what I've read you're doing fine and completely capable of doing whatever you feel is the right thing.

So sweet :twilightsmile: when is the Next chapter Comming :pinkiehappy:

6888161 It ... could be awhile, unfortunately. This was my first story. I don't feel like it's very good, and it's hard to find the time to write anymore.

But, if you really like stories with Princess Cadance in them, I can recommend some!
Skywriter's The First Time You See Her
He makes up a lot of things about Cadance, but it's a good story. He has a few other Cadance stories too.

Bradel's Three Nights
A little sad, but very sweet.
