Princess Celestia has sent an invitation to Twilight Sparkle and friends for a royal Canterlot wedding! While reading off the list of invitees, however, Twilight comes across a certain "Mrs. and Mrs. Dash". Turns out Rainbow Dash and Rarity are a married couple, and have been since before Twilight moved to Ponyville. Twilight never knew this. Hilarity ensues, as well as a few feels.
(AU, where RariDash are, well, married. Some canon events and scenes have been shifted accordingly, to Twilight's increasing confusion.)

Chapters (8)
This was good, but I notice it is marked incomplete. Will there be more?
11859364
Yes, absolutely! I plan on updating it continuously, either with flashbacks or with how the ongoing story changes.
11859366
AWESOME!
I can imagine quite a few things being different.
so far very nice
Nice. And wait is this timeline from Starlight but one that wasn’t ruined?
11859396
Haha, maybe! I don't have any plans for Starlight time travel currently: maybe in the future.
11859379
Thank you!
my favorite type of fic is twilight being mad confused over something she didn't know, and this is it. Fun read so far.
And it's infinitely uglier than it sounds. Trust me 🤢.
Twilight is flabbergasted
I love it
Very funny
This version of the shadowbolts are very good
Spike beat his love? Great
I don't understand the last part, sorry
I lost it at Pinkie's thumbs up and Fluttershy's reaction to the thumb.
Love this so far, the premise is funny and you've nailed the characters' speech patterns... What's with the downvote brigade?
11860456
As far as I can tell, someone homophobic's been downvoting every single comment on every story involving a same-gender couple that reaches the front page of the site, and they've been doing so for at least a week.
Kind of feels like it missed the mark with them being able to turn the tables on Twi for not mentioning the existence of her brother. Otherwise a nice read.
11860578
Oh, I hadn't considered that. Thanks for pointing it out!
RariDash is fricking ADORABLE.
This story is great fun thus far. The cover art is also fantastic.
quite funny

Until you realize their foal will be g3 rainbow dash.... Rainbow Dash always dresses in style....
11860512
It's been happening for longer than a week for sure. This might be the most blatant example of it.
Are fluttershy and pinkie married too??? These purple ponies keep getting punked!
11860884
It's possible that there's some leftover bot account programmed to automatically downvote any comment that makes a positive comment about LGBTQ themes.
11860955
Not yet.
11860761
Funny thing is, she could still be Rainbow Dash, just Rainbow Dash Jr. I mean, I can totally see RD being the type of mare to name her kid after herself. "Junior" would be a fun nickname!
11860884
Yeah, I'm not quite sure what's happening there. In any case, I hope it doesn't affect anyone's reading experience too much.
I wasn't planning on reading this. It's not exactly my usual cup of tea but I eventually I decided to give it a shot and I'm really glad I did, this is one of the funniest stories I've read in a while.
11860512
That's some intense delulu behavior, honestly.
Live laugh love Raridash <3 can’t wait to see more!!
11861078
Homophobic asshats, or people who hate Raridash as a ship comes to mind. Downvotes on comments don't matter to me anyway, as I do love the story so far.
VERY good chapter... and does a farm pony have interest in a certain purple smart, perhaps?
Love the Dash narration. Also hell yeah Twijack let's gooooo
I KNEW the wedding would be different, Dash and Rarity being married knows they somewhat know what to expect, and know things are fishy! WOO!
Well fuck half of the Mane 6. Chrysalis deserves to win now.
11861330
Slightly confused, do you mean the fact 3 are gone instead of just Twi, or the conversation they had at the cafe/diner?
You’d think AJ would be aware about Twi’s utter lack of social literacy. Especially as she didn’t notice a married relationship among the 5 ponies she keeps in contact with frequently.
Fluttershy accidentally calls Cadence a bridesmaid as opposed to bride. Otherwise loving the changeups.
I have done nothing but teleport bread for three days!
11861333
Both. Half of them are too stupid for their own good, and the other half were just kidnapped. Not sure how 'Cadance' can explain that.
11861371
My only guess would be changelings to replace the three, but the shield means they can't get in yet
11861371
A bit harsh for describing the non-kidnapped half, but yeah, Pinky as far from focused, Flutters is too naive and trusting, and Applejack already has an opinion she's too stubborn to drop.
Still, Chrysalis is famous for dropping the ball when she's just about to score, I wouldn't be surprised if all three of the captured mares ended up down in the mines with Cadance with the exact same outcome as before, sans the "She's evil!" debate that has fueled plenty of fix/hatefics since the episode originally aired.

Looks like it's 3 people, and they even revisit just to down vote new comments. That's dedication.
It's also traffic, so jokes on them?
11861348
Nice catch! Fixed.
Okay, that was hilarious.
