Chapter 41: A wedding to remember
It's been a week since the Moon Festival and it was finally the day that Twilight and I have been waiting for, our wedding day.
The altar was ready in the gazebo, the decorations were up in the Town Square, and everyone was getting ready to attend.
A few days ago, Princess Celestia gave us some magical paper. She explained that the paper can be sent to any world of our choice, I instantly knew why she gave it to us. Once we wrote a message on the paper, Spike burnt it and it hopefully teleported to England for my family to receive.
Ponyville Library
I was upstairs in the library getting ready to go to the gazebo, Spike and Jeff were with me. Seeing how I didn't have many suits, I decided to wear my tuxedo that Rarity made for me a long while ago.
Spike was wearing a black tuxedo with a black top-hat, while Jeff was wearing nothing but a small black bow-tie.
I sat in front of the mirror while Spike examined how I looked, he rubbed his chin as he looked up at me. After a second, he reached up to my neck and adjusted my black bow-tie.
After he finished, he smiled with satisfaction before he released my bow-tie. "There, all perfect." He said.
I looked down at him with a slightly worried look. "Are you sure? How does my suit look? Is my collar straight? Please tell me there isn't a stain anywhere!" I said as I looked around my body.
"Don't worry, I've made sure there's nothing wrong with your suite. Trust me, you look fine." Spike stated.
I gave him a thankful smile. "Thanks, Spike. I appreciate this, I really need to look good today." I said in a slight nervous tone.
Spike smiled back. "Don't mention it, Matt. I still can't believe it, you and Twilight are finally getting married. It feels like forever since you proposed to her." He said.
I nodded in agreement. "I know how you feel, Spike. It feels like we've been waiting years for this day, and now that it's finally come…I don't know what to do." I said.
At that moment, Jeff flew off the bed and landed on Twilight's make-up desk in front of me, he looked up at me with his wings crossed. "What do ya mean you don't know what to do? You've been talkin' about this day none-stop for months, please don't tell me you're gettin' cold hooves." He said.
I looked down at him. "Of course I'm not getting cold-hooves, I'm happy I'm marrying Twilight…I just can't believe it's finally here." At that moment, a joyful smile growing on my face. "I…I'm getting married…"
Jeff then smiled at me again. "And we're all very happy for you and Twilight. I may not know much about it, but I can tell when I see true love. And when I see you and Twilight together, I don't think there's any love more true." He said kindly.
I gave him a warm smile. "Thank, Jeff." I said.
Suddenly, there was a large flash of light before Discord appeared beside me; causing us all to flinch in surprise. Once we all saw it was him, we calmed down. "Discord, you know I don't like it when you do that." I said.
"Well how else do you expect me to make a good entry? Walk through the front door? Talk about boring. Anyway, it's time to focus on the real objective, how do you feel?" Discord asked.
I rubbed one of my front hooves against the floor as my ears lowered slightly. "…excited…but also kinda nervous." I admitted.
Discord waved his lion hand. "A common feeling for a groom, it's perfectly normal. Trust me, you'll feel fine once it gets started." He said.
"I hope so, Discord…so…have you seen Twilight yet?" I asked curiously.
Discord shook his head. "I'm afraid not, I'm not allowed to see her before the wedding." He answered.
I understood this and nodded "Yeah, me neither."
"You know, I'll never understand that rule. Why isn't the groom allowed to see the bride before the wedding? I mean, what's the point?" Jeff said out-loud.
Spike turned his head to face him and shrugged. "It's a wedding thing, I'd just go with it." he said.
Just then, Peewee flew in from the open window and landed on the bed. We all turned our attention to him, he looked slightly out of breath. "Peewee, are you ok?" I asked with concern.
Peewee looked up at me. "Matt…everything at the altar is ready…all the guests are starting to arrive…you better get over there." he said between breaths.
My eyes went slightly wide as I felt my nervousness grow. "Wait, you mean…it's time?...already?...as in, this minute?" I asked slightly loud.
Discord then smiled with delight. "Oh, this is just too exciting. I best wear my good suit." He said before he snapped his fingers.
With a flash of light, a light blue tuxedo with golden buttons and a white collar appeared on Discord's body. He then reached down and took Spike's top-hat. "Hey!" Spike yelled.
Discord held Spike's hat upside-down before he reached into it with his talon hand and pulled out another top-hat. But instead of black, it was light blue to match his suit. "Ta-da." Discord said with an amused smile.
Spike crossed his arms as he gave Discord an annoyed look. "Yeah, neat trick. Now give me back my hat." He demanded.
Discord looked down at him with his eye-lids half shut. "Oh yeah, here." he said before he gave Spike his top-hat back, Spike then placed it back on his head.
Discord put his own top-hat on before he turned his attention back to me. "So, is the groom ready for his big day?" he asked.
I could feel my body temperature rise as I became even more nervous. "Umm…I…I guess so." I said nervously.
"Ok then, come on." Discord said before he flapped his wings and flew down the stairs.
While Spike and Peewee followed him, Jeff looked at me and noticed the troubled look on my face.
He flew down beside me and placed his wing on my right leg, I looked down at Jeff to see his comforting smile. "It'll be alright, you can do this." He said.
I smiled down at him. "Thanks, Jeff….well, we best get over there. I don't want to be late for my own wedding." I said before I lowered my right wing down for Jeff to climb up.
Jeff climbed up my wing on onto my back. "No, you don't." he said.
Now that I was finally ready, it was time to go to my biggest party ever.
I walked down the stairs with Jeff on my back. Once down stairs, Spike looked up at me. "You ready?" he asked.
I nodded. "…Yeah, I'm ready." I said as calmly as I could, Spike smiled proudly at me.
After that, we all walked towards the front door before we left the library. Once outside, we started walking to the gazebo where my wedding's going to be held.
Meanwhile: Rarity's boutique
While I was heading to the gazebo, Twilight was still getting ready at Rarity's boutique.
Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash were Twilight's brides-maids, so they were helping her to get ready for the wedding.
Twilight was inside one of Rarity's dressing rooms while the rest of the main 6 waited for her to try on the dress. "Is everything alright, Twilight? It's not too tight, is it?" Rarity asked.
"No, it's fine. I'm just trying to adjust some parts so it's on right." Twilight stated from inside the room.
"I hope you like it, Twilight. Remember when I bought all those jewels at the Moon Festival last week? Well I used those jewels as a finishing touch to your gown, do you like it?" Rarity asked hoping she would.
"Yeah, I love it, Rarity. I can't wait to see how it looks on me." Twilight said from inside the room.
While everyone was waiting for Twilight, Rainbow Dash let out a bored groan as she lounged on Rarity's bug red couch. "No offence, Twilight. But the thing about getting married is that you have to be at the altar, not in a dressing room." She said.
Applejack looked at her with a firm look. "Rainbow, don't rush Twilight on her wedding day. She can take as long as she needs to." She stated.
"It's alright, Applejack. I think I've got it right now…should I come out?" Twilight asked.
An excited smile appeared on Rarity's face. "Oh yes, Twilight. Come out and show us all how you look." She said.
With that, Twilight stepped out of the dressing room and everyone gasped at the sight of her. "…H-How do I look?" Twilight asked nervously due to her friend's sudden gasp.
Everyone was silent, they stared at Twilight with their mouths hanging open. Twilight soon began to become worried before Rarity spoke. "Twilight…you look…you look…"
"Wonderful." Fluttershy finished as her stunned look turned into a smile of awe.
Twilight's worry faded after hearing that. "You really think so?" she asked.
"Twilight, you look more than wonderful, you look absolutely stunning. Here, look." Rarity said before her horn glowed, a large mirror then moved from across the room and stopped in front of Twilight.
Once she saw her reflection, Twilight's eye's widened slightly before a cheerful smile grew on her face. "...Rarity…this dress is beautiful." She said.
Rarity moved the mirror away before she smiled warmly at Twilight. "Thank you, I've spent weeks trying to perfect it for you. This is your wedding and you deserve to look your very best." She stated.
Twilight smiled warmly at her friend as tears began to form in her eyes, she was touched by Rarity's kindness before she walked up to her and hugged her. "I don't know how to thank you for this." She said.
Rarity smiled as she hugged her back. "You don't need to, you just go to that altar and enjoy your big day." she said kindly.
Twilight and Rarity then broke the hug before Twilight wiped her small tears away. "Ok…so, do you think Matt will like my dress?" she asked.
Rainbow Dash then walked up beside her. "Are you kidding? Once Matt sees you in that dress, I wouldn't be surprised if his entire jaw falls completely off." She said.
"Umm…charming thought, Rainbow Dash." Rarity said with a raised eye brow.
"I have to say, Twilight. Matt is one lucky guy, you look prettier than stars on a crystal-clear night." Applejack said kindly.
Twilight turned her head to face her. "Thanks, Applejack…but I have to admit, I feel kinda nervous about all this." She admitted.
"Oh, don't worry. I feel nervous all the time, but things always turn-out good in the end." Fluttershy said trying to make her feel better.
"Fluttershy is correct, there's nothing to be afraid of. In fact, my own mother once told me that she herself felt nervous on her wedding." Rarity stated.
Twilight turned her head to face her. "Really, what happened?" she asked curiously.
"Twilight, what do you think happened? Once she was with my father on the altar, everything turned-out well and now they live a happy life together, just like how you and Matthew will." Rarity said.
Twilight smiled sweetly at Rarity. "I know we will…I love Matt more than I've ever loved anyone…As long as we're together, we'll always be happy." she said.
"Aww, that's so romantic." Fluttershy said to her.
Just then, an idea came to Rarity which made her smile with joy. "Wait, we still have half-an-hour before the wedding starts. This gives me enough time to adjust you with some perfume." Rarity said before she hovered a bottle of perfume in front of Twilight.
She sprayed the perfume all over Twilight; causing her to cough from the perfume filled air. Once Rarity stopped spraying the bottle, Twilight waved one of her hooves to try and clear the air.
"Perfect, now you look and smell divine. Is there anything else we need to add before we head over to the gazebo?" Rarity asked.
Once the air was clear enough, Twilight placed her hoof back down on the floor before she spoke. "No, thanks. I think I'm all ready to go, is there anything we can do to before the wedding starts?" she asked.
Everyone thought about it before Rarity spoke. "Well, I guess we could have a cup of tea. As long as you don't spill any on your dress." Rarity said.
"I'll try not to, but I know a cleaning spell I can use if I do end up making a mess. Anyway, a cup of tea could be just what I need to calm my nerves." Twilight said.
Rarity nodded before she turned her head around to face the others. "Do you girls want any?" She asked.
They all shook their heads. "Nah, we're good. Personally, I don't really like the stuff." Applejack stated.
"Soot yourself." Rarity said before she walked towards her kitchen with Twilight following behind; leaving the rest of the main 6 in the living room.
Half-an-hour later: Ponyville gazebo
The wedding was finally ready to begin. There were two rows of pews set up in front of the altar while beautiful flowers hung from the entrance of the gazebo.
Rainbow Dash managed to put in a good word with the other Pegasi and they've moved all the clouds away from Ponyville, so now it was a gorgeous sunny day with clear skies.
The altar was set up under the gazebo, so Twilight and I could be in the shade when Princess Celestia marries us.
I was standing under the gazebo on the right side of the altar, I shifted my front hooves nervously as I waited for the wedding to begin. As my best man, or in this case best parrot, Jeff stood beside me.
Spike was our ring-bearer, so he stood beside Jeff while holding a blue pillow in his hands. Two golden rings were lying on the pillow he was holding, one of them was the same ring I gave to Twilight when I proposed to her.
Seeing how I was a Pegasus, my ring wouldn't be able to go on anywhere. So my ring was attached to a chain that would go around my neck like a necklace.
All the while, Princess Celestia stood behind me. She had a calm look on her face as we waited for Twilight to arrive.
While we did, I couldn't help but look around at the pews to see all our guests.
On the right side, My family sat in the front row as they smiled at me. I looked closely at my sister, Jess, to see she was wearing the amulet that allowed them to come to this world.
To my surprise, they were sitting next to Twilight's family. Crescent, Star, and Shining Armor smiled at me as well.
I also noticed Twilight's pet owl, Owlicious, was standing in an empty space next to Shining Armor.
Twilight explained to me that she had lent Owlicious to Shining Armor before he left to do his duties in Crydo Village, Owlicious went with Shining Armor to help him. That explained why Owlicious wasn't here for all those months.
I looked around at the other guests to see Granny Smith and Big Macintosh, Rarity's parents, Zecora, Derpy, Spitfire and Soarin', Cheerilee, Mr and Mrs Cake, Fancypants and Fleur de Lis, and many other ponies I've met.
I also saw Luna, Discord, the Diamond Dogs, and Philomena sitting near the back.
Luna then noticed me looking at them, she gave me a small smile as she waved to me. I waved back to her before I continued to wait for Twilight.
Jeff looked up at me and saw my nervous face, he leaned his head over to whisper up to me. "You ok, dude? You look a little funny." He said.
I looked down to him. "I'm really nervous, Jeff. I mean, it's been almost an hour and Twilight isn't here yet." I whispered.
Jeff rolled his eyes. "Dude, you worry too much. Just relax, everything's gonna be fine." He stated. At that moment, the rest of the main 6 entered the ceremony and walked towards us.
"Look, here come the girls now." Jeff said pointing at them.
I looked to where he was pointing to see Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Fluttershy walking up to me. They were all wearing lovely dresses for the wedding, Rarity must've made them while she was making Twilight's dress.
Fluttershy was carrying a conductor's stick in her mouth, she must be planning to use it when her birds start sining.
Once they all reached the gazebo, they stood on the right so they wouldn't be in the way when Twilight comes down the aisle.
I looked over to them. "Is Twilight alright?" I asked in a whisper.
Rarity smiled at me. "Oh she's just fine, darling. She was a little nervous at first, but now she feels relaxed and ready to go." She stated.
I nodded to say I understood. "Ok." I said before I looked at Fluttershy. "Are you're birds ready to play the music, Fluttershy?" I asked.
Fluttershy placed her conducting stick on the ground before she nodded. "Yes, we've been practicing ever since I agreed to help with the music." She said with a smile.
I then smiled thankfully at all of them. "Hey…I just want to thank you for this, I know you've all worked really hard to put all of this together for us and I just want to let you know how thankful I am." I said kindly.
They all smiled warmly at me. "You're very welcome, Matthew." Rarity said.
"Yeah, don't sweat it." Rainbow Dash added.
"We just wanted you and Twilight to have the most perfect day ever." Pinkie Pie stated.
I just smiled warmly at them, I felt a lump in my throat as I thought about how much they've done for me and Twilight. I never had friends like this back in England, coming to Equestria has truly changed my life for the better.
Suddenly, I was broken from my train of thought when I noticed two peacocks standing at the end of the aisle, they each had their large tail-feathers spread wide out.
Fluttershy noticed them before she let out a small gasp. "Oh, it's time." She said to herself before she turned around to face a bird-stand with a row of different birds standing on it.
Fluttershy then picked her conducting stick up off the ground before she tapped the bird-stand with it.
As Fluttershy started to wave it up and down, the birds started to sing the tune "Here comes the Bride". Once the music started, everyone in the pews turned their heads around to face the other end of the aisle where the two peacocks stood.
I also looked at the two peacocks before they slowly closed their tail-feathers to reveal the most beautiful sight I've ever seen, Twilight in her wedding dress.
Her entire dress was purl white, the small robe she dragged from behind had a row sparkling yellow jewels going down the middle from her waist to the end of the robe. The golden fabric belt around her waist also had yellow jewels on it.
She wore a golden slipper on each hoof (almost like the ones that Princess Celestia wears). The chest area of her dress had a velvet jewel attached to it, the jewel had been cut into the shape of her cutie mark.
And finally, she had a see-through veil hanging at the back of her head with yellow flowers attached to it.
My jaw dropped at the sight of her, Applejack had to come over to me and push my jaw back up before she returned to where she was.
"…Whow…" I said under my breath in awe.
At that moment, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle came up beside Twilight. They looked cute in their little dresses. They were each holding a basket of pink flower-petals in their mouths.
The girls started hopping down the aisle while leaving a trail of petals behind them, Twilight then began to walk down the aisle as the music kept playing.
As she did, everyone kept their eyes on Twilight as she came closer to the aisle. My eyes were glued to her as I felt my heart pound against my chest.
Once they reached the altar, the girls stepped out of the aisle and sat on one of the front pews before they watched the rest of the wedding.
When Twilight finally reached the gazebo, she joined me on the altar before the music stopped. Twilight stood beside me as she smiled sweetly at me, I returned the smile. "Twilight…you look so beautiful." I said.
Twilight blushed. "Thanks, Matt…and you look really handsome." She said.
Just then, Princess Celestia lowered her head down to us. "Are you two ready to begin?" she asked with a smile.
We both then nodded to Celestia before she moved her head back up, Celestia looked out at the crowd before she spoke.
"Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered her today to celebrate the union of Twilight Sparkle and Matthew. They've proven that their love for each other is strong. Despite everything that's happened lately, they've never stopped letting their love bloom into what it is today." Princess Celestia said.
My mother started to tear up before she tried to find a tissue, Star noticed this before she reached into the pocket of her dress and pulled out a tissue. She held it to my Mother, she saw this and took it.
"Thank you." my Mother said before she wiped her tears away, they both then continued to watch the wedding.
As Twilight and I faced each other, Princess Celestia looked down at Twilight. "Twilight, do you take Matthew to be your beloved husband?" she asked.
Twilight smiled lovingly at me. "…I do..." she answered.
Celestia then turned her attention to me. "Matthew, do you take Twilight to be your beloved wife?" she asked.
I smiled lovingly back at Twilight as I looked deep into her beautiful purple eyes. "…I do…" I answered without taking my eyes off Twilight.
Over by Luna and Discord's pew, Fido burst out into emotional tears before Spot and Rover then looked up at him with awkwardness. Suddenly, Fido grabbed Spot and hugged him tightly.
As Fido continued to hug him, Spot let out an irritated groan.
"If there's anypony here who has a reason why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." Celestia announced.
Twilight and I then looked at everyone in the pews while hoping no one would say anything. After a few seconds, no one objected. Twilight and I exhaled in relief before we turned our attention back to each other.
Celestia smiled before she looked down at Spike. "May we have the rings please?" she asked.
With that, Spike came up to us and held the pillow up to Celestia. Her horn glowed before Twilight's ring and my necklace lifted up off the pillow and floated towards us, Twilight's ring hovered over her head before it slid onto her horn.
The necklace hovered over my head before it placed itself around my neck, I looked down at the golden ring hanging from the chain before I looked back up to Twilight.
We both smiled at each other before Celestia continued to speak. "I here-by pronounce you…mare and colt, you may now kiss the bride." She said.
With that, Twilight and I leaned forward towards each other before we shared a powerful and loving kiss. And with that one kiss, we would spend the rest of our lives together.
Everyone in both pews cheered as they clapped their hooves together. Spike placed the pillow down on the ground before he, Jeff, and Peewee started clapping along with them.
The rest of the main 6 cheered as they stomped their hooves on the ground.
Twilight and I separated before we once again smiled at each other, we both then turned to face the pews to see everyone cheer for us.
I looked over to my family to see them clapping their hooves together while smiling proudly at me, Twilight looked at her family to see them doing the same.
As everyone continued to clap for us, both our tails reached over and wrapped around each other. Twilight and I both blushed as we continued to look out to all our friends and family.
That night: Town Square
It wasn't long before the day turned to night, Luna's wonderful stars filled the clear sky while the moon-light shun down on Ponyville.
After the ceremony, we all headed over to the Town Square to begin the reception party, hosted by none-other than Pinkie Pie.
Thanks to Applejack's cooking skills, she and her family filled the food-table with apple-pies, apple-fritters, caramel-apples, apple-dumplings, and other food that mostly involved apples.
A while ago, Pinkie Pie had told Mr and Mrs Cake about our wedding and they took this opportunity to make a fabulous wedding-cake for us. And they really put a lot of effort into making it, the cake was over four-layers tall.
I stood by the food-table while holding a glass of apple-juice with my hoof. I was watching Twilight dance on the dance-floor with her father, I once hear than brides would to do that on their wedding day.
All the while, I couldn't stop staring at Twilight, she looked so amazing in her wedding dress. As I continued to watch her, I couldn't help but think about how we came to be here.
We've been through a lot of things together, Twilight became my closet friend when first arrived in Equestria, we've been through the good and the bad as our relationship grew into something magical. And now here we were, at the reception party of our own wedding.
Twilight was my wife and now I can spend the rest of my life with her. As I thought about it, I couldn't help but shed a single tear of joy, I couldn't be happier. I wiped the tear away before I continued to watch Twilight on the dance-floor.
To show Twilight how much I loved her, I was planning to sing for her later tonight…and I knew exactly what to sing.
Due to different musical sounds, the song I chose couldn't be played by the band. So I asked Vinyl Scratch if she'd help with audio sounds. She's kindly agreed to help and now everything was set
All I had to do now was wait until the right moment to go up onto the stage that was (once again) set up in front of the Town Hall.
Suddenly, I felt a hoof on my shoulder. I turned my head around to see my Dad with another proud smile on his face. "Hey, mate. How're you doing?" he asked.
I smiled back at him. "I'm great, Dad…in fact, I'm more that great, I feel like the happiest guy ever." I said.
My Dad chuckled. "Yeah, that's how I felt when I married your Mum….We're really happy for you, Matt…and we're proud of you." he said with a kind smile.
"Thanks, Dad." I said before we shared a nice hug, we then separated as Jess and my Mother came over to us.
Once they reached us, my Mother gave me a tight hug. "Oh, I can't believe my little boy is married." She said with joy before I hugged back.
Jess just looked at me with a smirk. "I still can't believe you got married before me, I'm the oldest you know." She joked.
Me and my Mother broke the hug and I looked at her. "Well, I guess I just got lucky." I said while smirking back.
Jess just smiled as she shook her head. "Cheeky beggar." She said.
Just then, we heard someone tapping on a microphone, we looked over to the stage to see Pinkie Pie in front of the microphone.
"Alright, everypony. Make room on the dance-floor for the bride and groom's first dance." Pinkie Pie announced.
With that, I turned my attention back to my family. "Excuse me for a minute." I said before I walked onto the dance-floor to join up with Twilight.
After I was gone, Discord appeared in a flash of light. He was wearing a waiter outfit while hold up a metal tray with his talon hand, the tray had cubed-fruit on it.
My family looked up at Discord before he brought the tray down to them. "May I interest any of you in cubed-fruit?" he asked with a grin.
My family just stared up at him with their mouths hanging open, they had never seen a creature like Discord before. Discord's grin faded. "What?...do I have a stain on my shirt?" he asked before he looked down at his white shirt for any stains.
Meanwhile, everyone cleared the dance-floor as I got closer to Twilight.
I saw Twilight and Crescent in the centre of the dance-floor, Crescent gave Twilight one last smile before he walked away from her; leaving me and Twilight as the only ponies on the dance-floor.
Once I reached Twilight, we both smiled at each other before I held my hoof out to her. Twilight gently placed her hoof on mine before we took a step closer to each other.
Vinyl Scratch then pressed a button on her stereo before waltzing music started to play, Twilight and I began to waltz to the music as we kept our eyes on each other.
Usually, I'd get embarrassed with all these eyes watching me dance. But I didn't notice them as I was too busy focusing on the beautiful pair of eyes in front of me, it was as if we were the only ones there.
Just then, Twilight placed her front hooves on my shoulders before she rested her head on the left side of my neck.
I smiled warmly at this before I wrapped my arms around her body, we both closed our eyes as we gently swayed left and right while holding each other.
"…I love you, Matt…" Twilight whispered.
"…I love you too, Twi." I whispered back as we continued to hold each other.
Everyone watched us with sweet smiles, my Dad wrapped his arm around my Mother and pulled her close to him.
Crescent did the same with Star as they watched Twilight dance with me.
As we continued to dance, I opened my eyes and looked over to Jeff and Peewee standing on the food-table, Spike was standing beside the table they were on. They all smiled before they waved at me.
I smiled as I waved back at them, I then closed my eyes again and continued to hold Twilight.
After a few more minutes, the music ended and we both separated, a part of us wanted to song to last a little longer just so we could hold each other again.
Once again, Pinkie Pie walked up on stage and got in front of the microphone. "Wow, that was a really touching dance. Let's hear it for Twilight and Mattie!" she said.
With that, everypony stomped their hooves on the ground as they cheered for us. Once they stopped, Pinkie Pie spoke again. "Alright, now guess what time it is…it's time to cut the cake, dibs on the first slice." She said in an excited tone.
Just then, Fluttershy came up on stage and whispered into Pinkie's ear. Once Pinkie heard what she said, she looked at Fluttershy with a raised eye brow. "Really?" she asked, Fluttershy nodded.
Pinkie Pie then spoke into the microphone again. "Urr, forget what I said before, apparently the bride gets the first slice of cake…dibs on the second slice then." She said.
Again, Fluttershy whispered into her ear and Pinkie Pie looked at her again. "Oh, c'mon. Are you serious?" she whispered loudly, Fluttershy nodded.
Pinkie Pie turned to the microphone again. "Ok, apparently the groom gets the second slice…" she said before she managed to form a small smile.
"Well, that's ok. I don't care which slice I get, just as long as I get one." Pinkie Pie said before she hopped off the stage with Fluttershy following.
We all then headed over to the food-table to cut the wedding cake.
Half-an-hour later
After cutting and eating the cake, Twilight and I were on dance-floor again with our friends. But instead of dancing, we were talking amongst each other.
Me, Twilight, and Spike were talking to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. I was starting to get a bit nervous because it was nearly time for me to sing to Twilight.
Vinyl Scratch was ready with the music, and I secretly had Big Macintosh get a piano up on stage, everything was set.
"So, where are you two going for your honeymoon?" Fluttershy asked.
"We're gonna stay at the castle in Canterlot, Princess Celestia's letting us stay in one of her suites while we're there. I think it's the same suite Rarity and Matt shared a while back." Twilight said.
A large smirk then grew on Rainbow Dash's face as she looked at Fluttershy. "Yeah, we've seen that room, remember? It's at the top of a tower…a high tower…In fact, I bet nopony could hear what they're doing all the way up there..." she said in a clear tone.
After a bit of thinking, Twilight and I understood what she meant and we both blushed deeply. "Well…umm…we're gonna…umm…" I said as I tried to think of something.
"Yeah, we're gonna…you know…umm." Twilight said as she did the same.
At that moment, Fluttershy looked at Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash…umm…I think what Matt and Twilight do in their privacy is…umm…none of our business." She said.
Rainbow Dash kept smirking as she shrugged her shoulders. "Just asking, haha." She chuckled.
"Do you mind if we change the subject?" I asked hoping she would.
Rainbow Dash looked at me before rolling her eyes. "Fine…So what do you guys plan to do on your honeymoon?" she asked.
While Twilight answered her question, I decided that this would be the best time to preform to Twilight. I've already gone through the plan with Spike, I was gonna need his help.
I tapped Spike's shoulder before he looked up at me, I winked down at him to say it was time. Spike grinned and nodded to say he understood.
I then tapped Twilight's shoulder with my hoof before she looked at me. "Hey, is it alright if I go to the toilet? Spike needs to go too, so I'll take him with me." I said.
Twilight nodded. "Sure, go right ahead." She said.
With that, Spike and I walked away from her to get everything ready for my performance.
As Spike got up on stage, I walked around the stereos and whispered into Vinyl's ear. Once I Vinyl heard what I said, she looked at me and nodded.
With that done, I got up on stage to see Spike sitting in front of the piano on a stool. He turned his head around to face me before he stuck his thumb up; telling me that he was ready.
I nodded to him before I walked up to the microphone, I looked over to Vinyl and nodded to her. Vinyl nodded back before she pressed another button and the music stopped.
Everyone looked over to the stage to see why the music stopped, that's when they all noticed me on stage, including Twilight. "Matt? What's he doing up there?" she thought with confusion.
I then leaned my head towards the microphone before I spoke. "Ok, you're all probably wondering why the music stopped." I said.
"YES!" They all said at the same time.
This made me flinch a little before I continued. "Well, It's because I wanted to say something. I'd like to thank you all for coming, it's means a lot to me and Twilight. But that's not the only reason why I'm up here, I'm also up here because I want to do something special for the pony I love." I announced.
I then looked around until I finally found Twilight in the crowd, some of the ponies in front of her moved aside so I could see her better. "Twilight...this song is for you." I said with a sweet smile.
Once she heard that, Twilight gave me her full attention.
I turned my head around to face Spike before I nodded to him. He stuck his thumb up again before he turned around to face the piano, he then started to play it in a soft tune.
While he started to play, I looked over to Vinyl and nodded to her. She nodded back before she pressed another button on her stereos, they then started to play the music I asked for.
I waited until my part before I took a step closer to the microphone and started to sing for Twilight.
Me: "From the moment I saw you…from the moment I looked into your eyes
There was something about you…I knew…I knew…
That you were once in a lifetime…a treasure near impossible to find
And I know how lucky…I am to have youuuu
'Cause I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away…
The beauty of the setting sun that ends a perfect day…
And when it comes to shooting-stars, I've seen a view…
But I've never seen…anythiiiing…
…As beautiful as youuuu…
Holding you in my arms…no one else has fit so perfectly
I could dance forever…with you…with you…
And at the stroke of midnight…please forgive me if I can't let go
'Cause I never dreamed I'd find a Cinderella of my ooooown
And I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away…
The beauty of the setting sun that ends a perfect day…
And when it comes to shooting-stars, I've seen a view…
But I've never seen…anythiiiing…
…As beautiful as youuuu…
La-da-da, da-da, da-daaaaa…
Oooooh, hooooo
I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away…
The beauty of the setting sun that ends a perfect day…
And when it comes to shooting-stars, I've seen a view…
But I've never seen…anythiiiing…ooooh
No, I've never seen…anythiiiiiing…
…As beautiful as youuuu…"
I didn't take my eyes off Twilight as it came to the final verse.
"From the moment I saw you…form the moment I looked into your eyyyyyes…"
Once the song finished, everyone cheered loudly while stomping their hooves on the ground. Everyone except for Twilight, she just smiled lovingly at me with tears of happiness in her eyes.
I kept my eyes on Twilight as I stepped down from the stage and walked over to her. Once I reached her, Twilight took a step closer to me as she continued to smile.
"Matt…I can't tell you how much I love you right now." Twilight said sweetly.
I returned her sweet smile. "You don't have to, Twi." I said softly.
Twilight continued to smile at me before she leaped up and hugged me, I was surprised at first before I hugged her back.
"Awww." Everyone said, they all heart-filled looks on their faces as they watched us hug.
Celestia and Luna were also watching us, Celestia was cut off by the sound of a sniffing noise. She looked down to where the noise was coming from to see Luna with watery eyes.
However, Luna didn't look sad, she looked happy.
"Luna, are you alright?" Celestia asked with slight concern.
Luna looked up at Celestia before she wiped her tears away. "Oh, yes…it is just…I am just so happy for them, sister." She stated with a kind smile.
Celestia gave Luna a proud smile, she then wrapped her wing around Luna and pulled her closer to her. "So am I, little sister." She said.
The two sisters smiled warmly as they continued to watch me and Twilight hug lovingly.
Later that night: Ponyville streets
After a long night of partying, it was time for Twilight and I to leave the reception and begin our honeymoon.
Princess Celestia was had arranged at carriage to take us up to Canterlot, it wasn't long before it arrived in town.
The carriage was in the shape of a large sphere. It had a large diamond on top of it, the front and back wheels were set far apart from each other, and the side-doors where round.
There were four Canterlot guards harnessed to the front of the carriage, they were gonna pull it up to Canterlot.
Twilight and I had already packed our suitcases and they were now stored inside the carriage.
Once it was time to go, Twilight and I walked up to the carriage as everyone watched us leave.
As we got closer to the carriage, we noticed Celestia standing beside the side-door, her horn glowed opened before the door opened.
Once we reached the carriage, Celestia smiled at us. "I wish you both the best, have a wonderful time." she said kindly.
We smiled back at her. "We will." I said before we I climbed onto the carriage with Twilight, Celestia then closed the door behind us.
From the back window, we saw all our friends and family smiling and waving at us. "Have a nice time." Rarity called as she waved at us.
"Yeah. And don't worry about your job, Matt, Big Macintosh will fill in for ya while you're gone. Won't cha, Big Mac?" Applejack said as she looked at Big Mac standing beside her.
"Eeyup." He responded.
I smiled at them before I looked over to Spike, Jeff, and Peewee. "So, I guess this means we get the library to ourselves for a little while, huh?" Spike asked with a small grin on his face, Jeff and Peewee were also grinning.
I then smirked at them. "Nice try, But Shining Armor's gonna be looking after the library and you guys while we're gone." I stated.
The grins on their faces soon disappeared after hearing this. "And there goes our party idea." Jeff said under his breath.
With that done, Twilight and I were about to sit down before Twilight let out a small gasp.
"On my gosh, I nearly forgot." Twilight said, her horn glowed and the bookey of flowers lifted up off the carriage seat.
Twilight floated it up to her before she grabbed it with her front hooves, she then looked back out at the crowd.
Without any warning, Twilight closed her eyes and tossed the bookey towards the crowd. A large group of girls gathered 'round and It looked as though our old friend, Junebug, was gonna catch it.
But before she could. "IT'S MINE!" Rarity yelled as she pushed her way through the group to catch the bookey.
As Rarity was about to catch it, Fluttershy swooped over her and caught it in her mouth.
A look of disappointment came on Rarity's face before Fluttershy floated down to her. Being as kind as she is, she held the bookey out for Rarity to take.
Rarity's disappointed look quickly turned into a thankful one, she took the bookey before she let out a cheerful squeal. "Thank you, Fluttershy." She said.
Fluttershy gave her a kind smile. "You're welcome, you wanted it more than I did." She said.
Twilight and I smiled at this before I turned my head to face her. "So, you ready to go?" I asked.
Twilight looked at me and nodded. "Ready when you are." She stated.
With that, I went up to the front window of the carriage. I poked my head out of it to speak to the guards. "Excuse me, we're ready to go." I said loud enough for them to hear.
One of the guards turned his head around to face me and nodded. "Very well, sir." He said before he turned his head back around.
The carriage then started to move as the guards began to walk.
As we began to pick up speed, I went back to re-join Twilight at the back window. We both looked out to the crowd again before we started waving goodbye to them, they all waved back as we moved further away from them.
As we got further away from Ponyville, we noticed a few ponies doing something near some kind of box. We wondered what they were doing before a number of fireworks shot up to the sky and exploded in different colours.
Twilight and I watched in awe as more and more fireworks exploded in the sky. Just then, something else shot up to the sky, but it wasn't a firework.
Twilight and I squinted our eyes to see it better, we then saw that it was Rainbow Dash shooting up to the sky with great speed.
Twilight and I continued to watch Rainbow Dash before, BOOM, she performed a Sonic Rainboom the same time as more fireworks blew up. This must have been what she was planning to do for the wedding.
While Rainbow Dash landed back down on the ground, Twilight and I continued to watch the fireworks as the rainbow sonic-wave spread across the night sky.
Once Ponyville was out of sight, Twilight and I sat down on the carriage seat as the guards began to pick up speed.
I then moved closer to Twilight and wrapped my arm around her. "Well…here we are." I said.
"Together forever." Twilight finished as she smiled sweetly at me.
I gave Twilight a small kiss on her fore-head before she rested her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes.
I held Twilight closely as the guards continued to pull our carriage up towards Canterlot.
Later: Canterlot castle suite
After arriving at the castle, a guard escorted us to the tower where our suite was. And Twilight was right, it was the same suite Rarity and I once shared a while back.
Once Twilight and I got settled in the suite, we both agreed that it was time for bed.
We both undressed from our wedding clothes and placed them into our suitcases.
Twilight and I both came out of the bathroom after brushing our teeth, Twilight let out a small yawn. "I don't know about you, but I'm so ready to go to bed." She said.
"Me too, Twi." I said.
Just then, I thought up an idea that made me grin. "You know what I forgot, Twi? I was supposed to carry you up here before we got settle. I guess it's too late now, but I can do something else." I said.
With that, I flapped my wings before I lifted off the ground. I then surprised Twilight by scooping her up in my arms, Twilight quickly wrapped her arms around my neck to keep herself from falling.
"Whow…Matt, what're you doing?" Twilight asked.
"Well seeing how I can't carry you up the stairs, I'll just have to carry you to bed." I said before I flew over to the bed.
Twilight's surprised looked soon turned into a calm one. Once we reached the bed, Twilight used her magic to move the covers before I gently laid her down on the bed.
I then landed beside Twilight before she pulled the covers over us, we both laid our heads on the pillows as we looked at each other.
"I still can't believe we're finally married." Twilight said as she smiled lovingly at me.
I smiled back. "Neither can I, Twi…this has been the happiest day of my life." I said sweetly.
"Mine too…especially now that we'll always be together…now and forever." Twilight said still smiling at me.
We both felt a lump in our throats as we continued to smile at each other, we moved our heads forward before we shared one last deep kiss.
After a few seconds, we broke the kiss before Twilight rested her head beside mine. "I love you so much, Matt." Twilight said as she closed her eyes.
I smiled warmly as I wrapped my arm around her. "…I love you too, Twi." I said before I closed my eyes as well.
After a few minutes, Twilight and I fell asleep in each other's embrace. Ending the best day of our lives, the day that would be the start of something new for Me and Twilight.
