For some reason, this go around I was much less nervous about the entire thing. I wasn’t sure if it was the lack of crowds or that the entire invasion things putting things into perspective.
But I felt… good.
Entering the throneroom, I found myself seeing more ponies than I had expected. A bunch of guards, but Skitter was also there, as well as Swift and a tired looking Cloud. The Elements had also gathered.
Amber buzzed down next to me, “Gave a patrolling changeling a message, sir,” she said, “I knew there were some ponies you would like here, sir.”
I smiled at her, “You’re the best, Amber.”
She made a small sound with her wings and then buzzed over to Skitter.
That’s when I spotted Luna as she and Celestia entered. I’m not sure what she had done, she wasn’t wearing anything especially, just her normal regalia, but somehow she looked even more amazing than normal.
It was almost like her colours were sharper or her star filled mane brighter. I couldn’t put my hoof on what it was, but whatever it was, it took my breath away.
Sunset gave my shoulder a small push, “Page!”
“Huh?”
She grinned at me and lit her horn, adjusting my cloak, “Go!”
“Oh!”
I quickly moved up towards the throne where Luna were waiting with Celestia. Wow. She was… wow…
Luna smiled down at me, shifting her wings a bit, “More ponies than I expected,” she said quietly, “How did you manage that?”
“Changelings,” I whispered back, unable to take my eyes off her, “Amber passed the word and they fixed the rest.”
“Are you two sure of this?” Celestia asked softly, “I know you wanted a large wedding, sister.”
“I had that,” Luna answered, “But what I want more than that is to marry Page. And I’m not letting an invasion stand in our way.”
I just nodded in agreement, “Yeah, buck them. We had plans.”
“But perhaps make things a bit shorter?” Luna continued, giving my ear a small nuzzle, “Ponies are tired. It has been a very long day and tomorrow won't be shorter.”
Celestia nodded and stepped back. Luna and I moved into position before Celestia raised her voice,
“My Ponies, today, despite the earlie-”
“Sister,” Luna said softly, causing Celestia to trail off, “Shorter?”
Celestia smiled a bit and then nodded, “Very well, Luna, if you are sure,” she said before she continued louder again, “My little ponies, we have gathered here tonight to-”
“Sister?” Luna said, giving Celestia a look, “We were all in a battle six hours ago.”
Sunshine sighed softly and shook her head, “Well, excuse me if I want to bring some kind of class to this,” she muttered softly to only we could hear her before she spoke up again, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Very well, sister. We’ll make things simpler,” before she turned to Luna,
“Do you take Lord Blank Page as your husband?”
Luna eyed me and then nodded with a smile, “I do.”
Celestia turned to me, “Lord Blank Page, do you take Princess Luna, titles cut for time,” she said, almost bringing Luna to giggles, “as your wife?”
I smiled and nodded, “I do.”
“I pronounce you wife and husband, Princess Luna and Prince Blank Page!” Celestia said loudly and motioned towards us.”Now kiss.”
That almost sent Luna into giggles again and I grinned, following Celestias command and moved close to kiss Luna, raising my wings to the cheers and hoof stomping from the gathered ponies.
If being called Prince was the price for this, it was well, well worth it.
Still not short enough
I'm a little bit sad that Silver Leaf isn't there. :c
Well, Cadence will be pissed that she missed it
Yay.
Abridged version:
"Luna, do you take page? Yes? Cool"
"Page, do you take Luna? No? Too bad"
Done, now everyone go home
Entire crowd: *grumble grumble* "Took me longer to get here..."

Celestia: Do you two take each other as husband and wife?
Luna and Page: Yes
Celestia: Alright, you're married, go suck face or fuck like bunnies or whatever it is you do in the privacy of your own room.
Best wedding I've seen on this site :)

Spaceballs Short Short Version:
Celestia: Do you?
Page: Yes.
Celestia: Do you?
Luna: Yes.
Celestia: Good, you're married. Kiss.
This reminded me of this scene.
Oh the moment Cadance finds out she missed this there will be hell to pay
Celestia: Since you both showed up, that's good enough. Now you're married.
Celestia: Sorry Cadance, I'm not sure they're gonna be up for a do-over just because you got stoned.
I'll be honest, I halfway expected this chapter to be marked as Completed by the time of "you may now kiss the bride".
Then again, there's a lot of closure to still be had here and it continuing is a Good Thing™
derpicdn.net/img/view/2013/6/26/357430.gif
Come on! You missed a Gilden Opportunity for the line "Good. You're married. Kiss her!"
Ok, I don't know why, but this line gives me MASSIVE deja vu. I feel like I've read this exact line before earlier in one of the stories.
Damn, I knew I should have lurked instead of sleeping. I was beaten to my comment.
With 2 more word almost the shortest chapter yet... But damn was it a bombshell of a story chapter... How are they going to leave the bed rutting trough the night... The storm dirt stain will soon be the definition in every dictionary how to screw up in epic proportions...
9890487
DONT - TEMPT - FATE!
“Still a better love story than Twilight.”
Hey!
“Well when are you and Page getting married?”
Were not.
“There you go.”
Meanwhile in the great hall where Cadance was being kept. “...Soon.”
9890500
Shes going to be nuklear... DAMN! Equis withstod so many almost destructions just to fall to Cadance exploding in rage... There is no choice to stop everyones destruction than to let her travel trough time and murder the stormking in his procreation night by making his father miss the target Or let her be present on the wedding... Timetravel or maybe the alicorn potion Twilight used? ... Hard to say...
Call Discord to save the day! We even give him a 'Thank you for saving Equis from Cadance wrath for missing Page/Luna wedding kiss' Tshirt
9890773
I can so see Page building up a harem of other mares.
9890545
Damn... I feel almost CHALLANGED to find you a better one
9890520
Anyone say 'Royal Orgy' ? No wait that was planned on Queen accention
"Now as per tradition, you must consumate the marraige before the princess and the kingdom! go on. Here I've poofed your bed in right here"
"Sunbutt..."
"Go for it page!"
"Ya get on with it"
"Yes my page we really must get on with it."
9890773
Th-he-he... Its Inevitable
9890782
It isnt a matter of 'if it happens' only 'when' . Give it a Millennium or two. My bet it : Luna , Sunset , Cuddelbug Queen , Celestia , Twilight , Cadance and if hes really bored Discords female version
In hindsight it would be equally funny if their wedding happened during the battle, like in At World's End with Barbossa.
[fighting battle noises]
"My Page, I'm done waiting. Will you marry me now?"
"Sunbutt! Marry us!"
"I'm a little busy at the moment!"
Next Chapter:
Strict Stickler, Celestia's Legal Adviser: "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, everypony! This is NOT a legal wedding!"
Luna, Page, Celestia: "what?"
Strict Stickler: "It's supposed to be 'Mare and Stallion'! NOT 'wife and husband'! According to Volume 92 of the Equestria Legal Codex, Section 1,076, Subsection 97--- "
Celestia *facehoofing*: "Oh, yeah, I did it wrong again."
Strict Stickler: "---Subsubsubparagraph G, Line item 42, Subline item 964---"
Celestia: "Okay, let's do this again. My Little Ponies--"
Strict Stickler: "---Subsubcontingency 367---"
Page: "We're back to 'shorter', remember?"
Strict Stickler: "---Underline 14---"
Luna: "And let's get it right, this time, shall we?"
Strict Stickler: "---Parenthesis---"
Page: "And let's get it done before Strict finally gets to actually quoting the text of the law."
Strict Stickler: "--EXCUSE YOU, Lord Page! It's no mere 'Law'! It's the 'Legal Codex'! It's far MORE IMPORTANT than any mere law!!"
Luna & Page: "sorry"
Strict Stickler: "now--where was I--?"
Celestia & Luna: "'Parenthesis'"
Strict Stickler: "Yes, right. As I was saying, Parenthesis 9 open, Bracket 2 open---"
Stormking *landing right behind Luna and Page*: "HAHAHAHAHA! BEHOLD! It is I, STORMKING!! BWAHAHAHAHA!"
Page *facehoofing*: "Oh, for the love of fu-- "
Stormking: "Wait--- You lot were supposed to be encased in stone by now..."
Page *rearing up and extending metal spikes from his forehooves*: "ALRIGHT! THAT'S IT!! I! Have! Had! Enough! Of! YOU!! "
Stormking: "*gasp* Jimmy!? "
*Stormking glomps Page in a bear hug*
Page: "Huh?"
Stormking *sobbing*: "JIMMY! Little Bro! At long last, I'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU! "
Page: "Uh--someone wanna tell me, WTFJH?"
Luna: "Sorry, Page. I think I just got here."
Celestia: "My Little Ponies, we are gathered together here today-- "
Page & Luna: "*sigh* "
Strict Stickler: "--'in which the wedding shall commence with the following phrasing: My Little Ponies, we are gathered together...'-- "
9890782
Or maybe they are building one for him?

That's true too, so who else would end up marrying good old Page then, I think Sunset should become a wife, after she finds out how to ascend into an Alicorn so she can be by Pages side forever.
Anyone remember "Satellite lovers" fic? Luna has occasion to pull same thing from this fic.
- Welcome, my sister. How was your first day being lower in hierarchy than me?
- Luna, what are talking about? We both are equal as Princessess.
- And here you are in wrong, Tia. You see, in most of legal systems, Princess, if married, especially if to other royalty, acquire new title starting with the letter "Q".
- Luna... . I know it's your day, but please stop this. Somepony may take this seriously.
- Yes, for example Chrysalis...
dawww so sweet.
What if in the vows they ‘conveniently’ skipped there was
“Do you take this mare to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and health, and agree to whatever mares she chooses to add to your herd?”
Page: Thats a thing?!”
Luna: Yeah. What’s the problem, Sunset is already set, I adore her.
Page:Well...okay that’s good, but any mare YOU choose?”
Luna:You would choose a mare so wouldn’t like?”
Page:No. But I feel like I am the one being given the lack of options.
Luna: This doesn’t apply to stallions.
Page:...ok...good to know... but I feel like I am getting the shaft-worst! Worst part of the deal here!
Luna: Really? Cause the way I see it you are able to bed multiple mares.
Page: That YOU choose.
Luna:Precisely.

Ahh Liev Schrieber Sabertooth reference!
Nice.
He was great for that part, imagine if he could go full Logan rated R.
9890675
Yeah...
i hate real life sometimesI was half expecting the Spaceballs treatment:
"Do you?"
"Yes."
"Do you?"
"Yes."
"Good, you're married! Kiss 'er!"
Swift: *looks at the other guards* OK you stallions...gimme back my bits!
Guard 1: What?! NO. We won that bet! Page didn't run away from the ceremony so you lost!
Guards 2&3&4: YEAH!
Guard 3: Plus there's so many ponies here as witness that the word "eloping" does not apply!
Swift: Page sneaked off the platform during the invasion via illusion before the vows were made and the Princess decided not to wait for a formal ceremony and didn't alert the dignitaries. Hence this is ELOPING relative to how royal weddings work!
Guard 4: But.....but...
Swift: STOP WHINING AND PAY UP!
All the Guards: Ugggggggggh
9890872
CURSES! You got here before me and used this joke! Grrr
9890808
OC insert: Princess Nova from another dimension, I can do it, I'm a priestess.
Celestia: "Who?"
Nova: Nova, Priestess of Arkadia. Princess Luna, do you take this stallion to be your lawfully wedded stud?
Luna: What?
"Nova: Say, aye do."
Luna: Aye?
Nova: Close enough. Lord Page, do you take this mare to be your lawfully wed ball and chain?
Page: Damn straight.
Nova: I now pronounce you breading mare and stud lafly obligated to buck until one or both of you should expire from it.
Well...cut to the chase and all that.
This reminds me of the marriage scene in Spaceballs.

Wonder were i can see it before buying. I always buy movies AFTER i enjoyed em. Its kinda like the pre-sale of games. I hate to pay without review / knowing i like it
"you want? You want? You're married. Now to bed with you!"
Cadence is really not gonna be happy she missed this
10328784
That's what I was thinking.
So, who's going to invade for Twilight's wedding?
10341228
Oh, that’s easy! It will be
Tirek(dead),Chrysalis(reformed), and Cozy Glow....Twilight Sparkle: “Who are you?”
Cozy Glow: “I’m Cozy Glow! I’m here to take over Equestria!”
Twilight Sparkle: “....’Take over Equestria’? ....By yourself?”
Cozy Glow: “Yeah....about that... You know, it’s so very odd, but I could swear I’m supposed to have a couple of partners with me. You ever sometimes get the feeling that something just isn’t right with the world?”
Twilight Sparkle: “Not me, personally, but I hear it all the time from Discord. He blames Prince Blank Page for it. Of course, those two never get along for some reason.”
Cozy Glow: “Hmm... I can dig that. By the way, you play chess?”
Twilight Sparkle: “Oh! I LOVE chess! ”
Cozy Glow: “Cool! Oh, okay. Fuck taking over the world. Let’s play!”
I love this blitz wedding
