Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance are happily married, but the royal duties they share in ruling the Crystal Empire can be a little distracting in regards to their personal relationship. As a gesture of goodwill to their beloved royals, the crystal ponies give the couple a free vacation from all work. Two tickets, one paradise resort, and unlimited love between two ponies destined to be together. There's nothing quite like living happily ever after.
NOTES
1. Straight-forward Shining Cadance. The couple is usually spending all their time fighting through disasters so why don't we give them a little time off?
2. The most powerful marital pairing to ever grace canon. Literally. (Reference the end of A Canterlot Wedding.)
3. Best read with a tropical drink in hand, such as a piña colada. (optional)
4. The couple's combined cutie mark used in various places: Full HD

Well, this has all the markings of being a feel-good bubblegum fic! Already grinning. I'll keep this one nearby for when I need a pick-me-up.
Oh, no! Never let a stallion onto a boat during their honeymoon. Shiny will grab a fishing pole and not set hoof back on shore until it's time to go.
Oh? Truly? An honest-to-goodness feel good fic? This'll be refreshing~

Yep.
I make no effort to spin it off as being anything other than the simple story it is and will be. Not that serious and/or deep fics aren't great and all, but everyone needs a break, y'know?

Yup! Better than sadfics any day!
I thought that the Crystal Empire's landlocked! On a side note, I don't know Cadence that well and this fic is a great chance for me to get to know her and Shining Armor better.
By the time those lovebirds are along in that cottage they'll make out.

It's actually pretty light though.
hehe lol. I love this!
Hehe. Pretty steady adorable couple. Cadence, compelled to meddle. Poor Oxy.
Oh, I forgot to thumbs-up this. Lemme fix that.
Don't they have a spell so they can breathe underwater?

When they were getting the diving lesson, they were using masks. There is a spell to eliminate the need for this, but I believe it was created by Celestia so they don't know it yet. Celestia is stingy on sharing her spells...and cake.
I like this story. It's sweet.

I went into this story with the idea of taking an established couple and writing something simple and straight-forward.There are so few stories out there that depict post-marriage ships (especially canon ones) that I wanted to try my hand at it. I'm glad to hear I've succeeded in some way and I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
4900651 It's so sweet that it's going to give me diabetes. Or a cuteness-induced heart attack. Most cute fics feature foals, not these two!
When shining armor talked about the straws. I imagined like a scene where every aspect is dramatized even the shading and color.
This story is t.v worthy. I'd watch the crap out of this story if it was a t.v or video series.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's a blast to write and working with canon ships rather than fantasy ships just makes it even more fun.
NOW I know why Twilight sucks at dancing...

lol Shining Armor really needs to say something...
I kid. Twily's got the moves like Jagger.
Awww, that was sweet.
I hope you do more stories like this maybe one involving Luna and big mac.

Indeed, it will be fun to see what I end up writing as time goes by. One year ago, I never imagined I'd be writing a Sunlight story and now I am. Life is...unexpected.
Grk! Why must this be SFW?!
Ah~
That was really nice. I love that you wrote this; such pure, simple feel-good does the soul well.

Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
We all need a break and vacation every now and then.
Wait it's done...
I want more 
Good story
Cady the dog is adorable.
Their banter is hilarious.
This story is just great. Shining won't have to wish for wings of his own forever because I'm certain Twilight is already working on a spell to make that happen.
I second the banter like...it's adorkable.
I really liked this story, it was quite cute and had some very nice background ponies that added to the story fabric, including a recurring character like Oxygen Rush who I first saw in Twilight Shimmer because I read out of order unwittingly.
Kudos and well done!
Fluffy feel good of a very romantic and sweet couple. Characters for the both of them were spot on and had wonderful, cheesy banter and lines that just reinforce how stupidly in love they are.
The only crime is that is was 11 chapters long and i still want more.
11/10 underrated as hell.
