Fun little story!
I would like to take this opportunity to announce that my name is not actually RB, but is, in fact, Reluctus Brontsworth. Shocking, I know.
Very cute story! Lyra is a real princess in our hearts. Best of luck in the contest!
It's not a proper wedding without the sudden but inevitable changeling surprise!
Very cute story

I thought it was Radical Brontosaurus...
This was so dumb and kept a stupid grin on my face the entire time.
Derpy!
Seriously. WHY is Celestia here? It's what ruined Slice of Life. Characters who literally had zero business being there, were at Cranky and Matilda's wedding. Now it's happening again .

So, comedy factor aside....
Cranky and Matilda were both independently invited to the Gala. As neither particularly seems to be nobility, it's plausible thqt they just.... y'know.... are friends of hers?
Similar thing here. Bonnie is a former agent of Celestia's. Lyra is anformer student of hers, albeit not a personal one. And Lyra was one of Cadance's bridesmaids, which would imply that between being friends with Cadance and Twi both, she probably has some pretty posh contacts herself.
So I'd say that, again, she's probably there because she likes the couple of honor, with Luna tagging along to get out of the castle ajd socialize.
"What?! But I'm... I'm an evil, chameleonic, soul-sucking monster who sees every pony as either a pawn or something to be consumed! I intend to drain your love, your life and everything that makes you you! I'm-"
"A politician - we know. Now, the wedding?"
That was quite the story and it was funny in the end
"Thankfully, my sister remembered to bring the gift this time."
"I did? Oh, yes. Of course. Just one moment. I'll be right back."

Don't you think it is adorable to watch a little pony wedding? I think it is adorable, and I'm not even Celestia.
At bare minimum it's her chance to hold Princess Luna's hoof and stare at her in a completely platonic manner (like she did in a show)
11610487 You mean why would she attend the wedding of one of her personal students?
hehe that was amusing
That ending got me, well played.
This should have been part of the episode!
Greetings. Your reading has been completed and can be found below. I hope you enjoy.
This was amazing! Loved every minute.
aww good color combination!
Bon Bon has learned better from the years she has known Lyra!
ahaha so true
hehe love Equestrian swearing
absolutely love “Bon Bon Fondant” as Bon Bon’s full name
hehehe, also love the switchover to “Princess Lyra” at every instance
oh Celestia, never change!
dang, there sure are a lot of ponies with multiple names!
love this vow, btw
aww, love it! also fun commentary on how nopony cares about whatever these background ponies are up to. just a delightful slice of LyraBon, thank you for writing!
I imagine this kind of thing comes up rather often in Canterlot.
Sweetie DropsBon Bon just never encountered it in the halls of S.M.I.L.E. (Besides, most ponies there used codenames anyway.)Also, I’m sure She of the Seven Bubbles can fit in her thrilling identity reveal later this week.
Delightful, adorable little comedy. Excellent work in getting that many jokes in a single kiloword without ever feeling rushed. Thank you for it and congrats on the bronze.
Hahaha, oh jeez. Name confusion exceptionally well done. n_n
You can has review!

What's the population? Are there so few ponies that Celestia can visit every wedding?
Hello! A slightly belated courtesy note for my review. Light-hearted silliness -- and sometimes, that's just what I need. Have a like!
Princess Celestia sighed. “We do hereby grant this changeling the official powers of office necessary to officiate this wedding.” She looked at the changeling. "There, all nice and official now, no worries about it getting annulled later."
The changeling looked around at all the increasingly impatient wedding guests. "Oh. Uh. Right. You're sure you don't just want to... do it yourself or something?"
"No. I'm a guest. Get on with it."
