I'm sure I don't need to relate to you the same tired cliché always associated with weddings. But I will, because it's true: when she walked down the aisle, she was the most beautiful being in the universe. Everything about her was more pronounced than normal. Her amber eyes were sparkling in the sunlight, and her blonde mane was flowing and shining like silk.

    She had spent all day getting ready, as had I. I hadn't seen her since Thursday morning, when she delivered the mail in the morning. Since three that day, I prepared everything: I set aside a tailor-made suit vest made by Rarity, and practiced my vows endlessly.

    As a strange coincidence, I also hadn't seen Dashie since earlier today. But she was sitting in the from aisle with the other five, smiling up at me, cheering me on with her eyes.

    Ditzy slowly approached the podium where Princess Celestia was standing. Apparently, Celestia takes her time to minister every single wedding in Equestria (woah). It was pretty cool that she was there, especially since, one, I hadn't seen her since day 1, and two, I finally noticed that I was really tall for a pony, being about 2 inches shorter than Celestia herself.

    At the time though, I couldn't really pay much attention to anything other than Ditzy, walking slowly down the aisle in a flowing white dress. Maybe a little too flowing, though; when she came to abot five feet from the podium, she tripped and fell flat on her face.

    I sprung to action, of course; I jumped from the podium and placed a hoof on either side of her, helping her up. "Are you okay?" I asked, hoping she didn't break anything.

    "I don't think I hurt anything," she replied, and looked up at me. She looked fine. She laughed. "That kinda ruined my whole dramatic-aisle-walk, huh?"

    I laughed, too, and guided her back up to the podium. Celestia looked down at both of us and smiled. She spoke to the audience, composed of Ditzy's relatives and my friends. "Ponies from all of Equestria, of all races and personalities," she began, "we are joined here today to affirm the marriage of our two friends, Ditzy Miranda Doo -" ...Miranda?... "- and Thomas 'Falling Star' Pyle." Woah, she remembered my people name.

    "These two met only two months ago, but their love has grown stronger and stronger since that day. We are here today to finally bind them in eternal companionship and harmony, til by death they part." Ditzy actually wrote this part of the ceremony; she really was quite an eloquent writer.

    "Ditzy Doo," she turned to Ditzy, "do you confirm your wish, in front of me, your family, and your loved ones, to wed Falling Star for the fullness of your life?"

    She looked at me, her amber eyes filling me with pure content. "I do," she said.

    "Falling Star," she continued, turning back to me, "do you confirm your wish, in front of me, your family, and your loved ones, to wed Ditzy Doo for the fullness of your life?"

    I hadn't taken my eyes off Ditzy. I smiled broadly, and replied, "I do."

    "Do you have the wedding necklace, symbolic of unity and continuity, to give to your bride?"

    I produced the ring from the pocket of my vest relatively smoothly, and lifted it over Ditzy's head, laying it on her neck. [By the way, necklaces and other jewelry in Equestria come with special latches that are easy to attach with a hoof merely by slinding the hoof across the latch. In case you're wondering.]

    I heard something Id been waiting for, the final, simple confirmation of marriage. "You may kiss the bride." I leaned forward and kissed her, until the other ponies stood and cheered for us. As we trotted briskly down the aisle, Pinkie Pie threw confetti over us. Apparently, she gave some to every other pony, too, because by the time we left the building, we were literally coated with confetti.

    We trotted into a special carriage with an enclosed cab, and... well... would you call it making out if you just got married? Heheheh.

    I'm married to Ditzy Doo, I'm married to Ditzy Doo, I'm married to Ditzy Doo, I'm married to Ditzy Doo [okay, he literally writes this for, like, three pages. I'm gonna skip it.]

    Anyway, we arrived at the reception at the same time as Pinkie, considering she was the caterer. Who else would I trust for my wedding? And when I said to go crazy with the cake, I didn't mean seven-tiered with neon pink and blue icing with perfect sugar models of Ditzy and me on the top. I mean, my God, they were PERFECT. Oh well, I was pretty much rich by now, we could afford everything Pinkie's insane mind could come up with.

    DAYUM! The decorations were... there was... there are no English words to describe them. So I won't use English. The banners were really grandlie, and there was so much RENDATH everywhere!!!! [what?]

    We were seared at the front of the hall we rented just as the other ponies arrived. The food was great, and the desserts were obviously divine. One of my favorite parts of the reception, though, was when someone clinked their glass and then most of the others joined in. I laughed when I saw Ditzy's face. "It means we're supposed to kiss," I explained.

    We were 'forced' to do that multiple tomes throughout the night. Near the end, though, after the dances (which were fun, even though neither of us could really dance), when things were quieting down, Ditzy slowly picked up her fork and clinked the side of her glass. She turned to me, and everything got quiet. She leaned in and we kissed for a relatively long time, everypony tin the room watching.

    She broke off, and everypony in the room simultaneously went, "Awwwwwww!" I grinned at her, and she at me. We knew what would happen after the reception. [ ;) ] Next Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Six - Best Day Ever, Part 1 Estimated time remaining: 10 Minutes
