A Thousand Words
Applebloom paced around her dressing room, her white silk dress still wrapped on the beige pony model against the wall. She stopped and sighed, walking over to the vanity. She looked at herself; under eyes baggy and dark with stress, her mane a mess, her eyes dull. She was in shape to even attend a marriage, nonetheless be a bride.
In her fit of self loathing, she heard a knock on the door, followed by it opening and revealing her older sister, who looked shocked by the reflection she saw in the mirror.
"Now Applebloom, Ah understand we aren't a real fancy family, but you can't really look like this on your wedding day." she said, coming forward to her sister.
Applebloom let out a small sigh. "I know but, I was really over my head planning this." she looked over to her sister with her eyes filled with concern. "I was thinkin' of asking Scootaloo if we could postpone for a day or two, but she was just to excited, I didn't wanna let her down."
Applejack put her hoof on her shoulder. "Ah know how you are: always trying for things you can't always do. A lot like me. Look, how 'bouts Ah get Rarity in here to fix you up a bit, and Ah can walk you out once your ready?"
Applebloom bit her lip, but nodded her head, a small smile curling her lips. "Yeah, I'd really appreciate that."
Applejack smiled and removed herself, leaving to go retrieve the high standard unicorn. Applebloom let out a small sigh, somewhat worried as to what she would do to her.
It didn't take too long for Applejack to return with Rarity. The second she caught sight of Appleblooms deshoveled look, she let out a gasp and her eyes widened, immediately coming forward to fix her up.
Soon, Applebloom found herself huddled on the floor as Rarity combed through her red rats nest, close to a bloody lip with how hard she was biting down to distract herself from her other pain. Once Rarity had finally got it to a 'decent' level, she applied a light makeup to her under eyes, trying to hide the darkness. As she did so, Applebloom rubbed her head, sore from all the pulling and tugging.
"Now, Applebloom, how did you manage to get yourself into such a mess? I mean, your always a mess, much like your sister," Applejack rolled her eyes at this. "but it's never quite this bad."
Applebloom opened her eyes back up, looking at Rarity as she cleaned the soot of her hooves. "I had a huge order last night, didn't really get much sleep, combined with the stress of setting this all up."
"I understand the ceremony, wanting to make it perfect and all, but what kind of order couldn't wait until later?" Rarity asked, having just cleaned off her last hoof.
"Got commissioned by a bunch of sellswords. I had to deliver them by this morning, and I didn't have much finished before yesterday, so I kinda had to pull an all nighter." Applebloom sighed, remembering how tired she was and how much her hooves yearned for rest after so much iron work.
"You said you didn't sleep much, not that you didn't sleep at all." Applejack noted, crossing her hooves and raising a brow.
"It may have been a teeny tiny white lie." Applebloom murmured as Rarity finished blending the makeup to match her coat.
"Okay, quickly now, get your dress on. You don't have much time now, Applebloom." Rarity fret, ignoring Applejacks prying and pushing Applebloom towards the model wearing her dress. Her wedding dress.
Nervously, Applebloom took in off the model, pulling it over head and sticking her two front hooves inside the sleeves. She pulled the veil off the head, throwing it up and walking under it, it landing crooked on.
"Lemme fix that for ya', sugar cube." Applejack said, coming towards her sister and adjusting the veil, pulling it over to cover her face.
"Ah'm so proud of you, Applebloom. Now c'mon little sis, don't wanna keep your new wife waiting, now do we?"
Rarity quickly went to return to her seat next to Sweetie Belle as Applejack and Applebloom walked out, and just in time for Octavia and Vinyl to start up their music.
Applejack walked Applebloom down the aisle, holding hooves with her young, and lucky, sister.
Once they reach the end, Applebloom sat down on her hind legs, her heart pounding and her breathing having become practically hyperventilating as she passed all the seated guests.
Then, she heard it. The second pair of hooves nearing the end as Scootaloo was guided by Rainbow Dash to join her.
Her heart jumped to her throat, thumping uncontolably as the love of her life neared her. 'So close.' she thought. 'So close to the final moment.'
Finally, after what felt like a millennium, they stopped, Scootaloo coming forward and standing in front of her. Applebloom could barely see her veiled face beyond her own.
Then Mayor Mare came forward, saying that the two brides had words to share.
Applebloom cleared her throat, her eyes locked on where she assumed Scootaloo's where.
"You are the most amazing mare I've had the pleasure meeting. You're amazing, spectator, alluring, funny, blinding-"
"What are you, a dictionary?" Scootaloo interrupted. "Mayor Mare, if you'd please."
Applebloom let out a goofy smile, not surprised by Scootaloo's outburst. 'Never been a time waster.'
With a cough, Mayor Mare continued, reciting their marriage vows.
"Do you, Applebloom, take Scootaloo as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"And do you, Scootaloo, take Applebloom as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"You bet."
"Then I announce you: Mare and Mare!"
They both removed the veils, finally seeing one another. For a brief moment, Applebloom could see the light shining down from the stained windows above lighting up Scootaloo's face, bathing her in a rainbow, with her eyes full of love and excitement before Scootaloo raised a hoof and pulled her by the neck, taking her in a passionate kiss.
All Applebloom could hear was her heartbeat and the loud cheers of the guests.
'I could never ask for better.' Applebloom thought.
'Not like better existed.'

Wow. This was a good short story. And ppl if u don't like same sex marriage on a story or real life then deal with it. If it bugs u then fine. B straight. No one really cares
6201570 no don't the flame wars begin because i don't want that to hapen
Aw...... If Sweetie Belle married them....... It would be a bit better it my world.
6201788 so what if they did that it would be cool in sequel for this story if the Author made one
6201788 why are u so salty abt gay pones? i mean, bruh, the cover art was a spr gay kiss. ur saying all this like u were expecting scootaloo to be marrying rumble or something. just drink some tea and calm down bruh

I'm with Westdog01. I mean, Fun is fun, but there comes a time where one must draw the line. And Homosexuality counts.
Besides, I feel this sort of corrupts the show.
6202117 no it doesn't
6201570 Did you somehow not get the gist of the story's content from the cover art or something. Also, trying to stir shit up makes you sound like a weenie.
6202220 no

Hey, don't hate Brony. Hate the game. I'm just a player among a team playing Pro and Anti.
6202338 i never said i hate the brony at all and yes i hate the game
6202431 either way, the only two characters included as main where applebloom and scootaloo, one of the genres is romance, and it literally says it's their wedding. don't know abt u, but that's pretty clear that it's a spr gay fic abt lesbian horses
6202117 a show meant for children have homosexuality won't corrupt it. look at steven universe. they have a canon, literally said on the show to be romantic, gay couple. and yet, it's popular enough to have entire weeks of new episodes on cn. this is just a fic. it's not like bloody murder or porn, it's a fluffy marriage between two characters. again, u and west just seem to be here to stir up trouble, there was no point in readin, nonetheless comment, if u know from the get go that this wasn't ur cup of tea. i avoid clop, anthro, and gore in pony stories. thus, i don't click on them. sorry if this is rude, but it's as simple as a look to see what it is, and scrolling on

Fair enough. I mean...I HAVE seen Clarence.
Okay, how about we Agree to Disagree, a keep our beliefs to Ourselves?
cute story even though i prefer scoots to be with sweets and apple bloom with diamond tiara but ah well it's pretty good
6201570
Dude, it was kind of obvious what`s inside from the synopsis. If you went ahead and read it, you wanted it, despite how much you object. But that`s OK, you`ll get out of that closet eventually.
6202117
Who are you to pick lines for everyone? Pick one for yourself, if you want, but that`s all you get.
6202338
Seriously? No, dude, that crap does not fly. If you are picking sides (and you do), you don`t get to complain about what the opposition does to you. You signed up for it.

That being said ..."I pronounce you mare and mare".... Bloody hell. Why do we always assume ponies have anything even close to our own matrimonial rituals? All from that abomination that was Cadance`s wedding, I bet.

how dare you mention rumble in the comments
rumbaloo is an abomination
