The beautiful sights and sounds of a sunny day in the small town of Gifthorse Beach are to be the backdrop of the wedding of Sunset Shimmer and Rarity. A perfect day, the perfect spot, and course, the perfect dress made by the bride herself.

However, as the old saying is quick to remind, "something always goes wrong at a wedding."

Sunset knows that. Rarity knows that. But it's still going to happen to them all the same.

After nearly destroying Canterlot High School and ruining the Fall Formal, Sunset Shimmer is already not feeling too chipper. Summer is coming, finals are looming, and she's got no one who can truly understand what she's feeling.

And then there's a complicated mix of emotions she has for a star soccer player...

Luckily, Sunset does have one old friend she can still talk to.
