Don. Major Don Curry. He was once the second in command of the Battleship Express back when Major Jeff Coleson was still alive. When Jeff was killed in Nebraska saving the lives of the train's crew, Don was promoted up from Captain to Major to replace him. I then became his subordinate, and the train's 3rd in command after Jim.

Once we'd found ourselves in Equestria, Don did feel lonely. Like many on the train, he'd never married. He did have a girlfriend at one time, but she was killed in WW4. After that, Don just buried himself into his work, and tried not to look back. However, that was about to change.

When Don met Twilight, he almost immediately took a liking to the purple Unicorn. She was just like him in many ways. Both of them had OCD, they both loved book, charts, records, and anything else with large amounts of words or numbers on it. They were also in charge of things. Twilight was in charge of the Golden Oak Library, as well as being the leader of her group of friends, on top of being the personal student of Princess Celestia. Don was in charge of the military aspects of the Battleship Express, and was the officer in charge that the rest of us looked up to.

One afternoon, between the battles of Ponyville, and Las Pegasus, Don was sitting on the steps of one of the train's coaches, and Twilight joined him.

"Hello Don!"

"Hmm? Oh, hello Twilight. It's nice to see you."

"It's nice to see you too Don. So what are you up to?"

Don sighed. "Well, I was just taking a bit of a break from my busy work schedule. Just taking some time to think about what lies ahead."

Twilight nodded. "Yeah, I know what you mean. With the Imperial War still going on, these are still very much uncertain times. It's still anypony's war at this point, but now that you, your crew, and your train have joined in the fight on our side, maybe things will be better."

"I hope so too Twilight. I just hope that this war will be brought to a conclusion very quickly. I DO NOT want to have to live through any more war!" Don then buried his face into his hands a bit, and seemed to be holding back his emotions.

Twilight tried to comfort him a bit. "Shh, it's ok Don. I know that you're in terrible emotional pain. War does that to Ponies, just as it does to Humans."

"But does it though? You've all just had to deal with ONE war! We've had to deal with SEVEN!!!!! And all but one of those was a war on a GLOBAL SCALE!!!!"

Twilight still could not wrap her head around Humanity, or their methods of warfare. The ability to fight a war that encompassed an entire planet was a concept so completely foreign to her.

They kept talking for a while longer until Don had to get back to work.

Eventually, the train moved out for Las Pegasus. All along the trip, Twilight functioned as a sort of secretary/assistant for Don. She'd go fetch him things that he needed, hep him with paperwork, filing, as well as taking notes, and putting together calendars.

"I'll admit Twilight, with you helping me, keeping everything straight has been easier than ever! It's SO much easier when you have someone helping you who understands!"

Twilight nodded. "Yeah, and it's nice to spend time with somepony else who has OCD too. You understand things that my friends don't. Plus, I'm more than happy to be helping you out, as it gives me something to do!"

Don sighed a bit. He did enjoy the time that he was able to spend with Twilight, but yet at the same time, he felt a twinge of sadness. Twilight did remind him a lot of his late girlfriend, Jessica, who also had OCD.

"May you rest in peace Jessica", He thought. "You were the best, and only girlfriend that I ever had. I hope that you're enjoying it up there in Heaven, and one day I'll join you up there, and then we can be together again!"

He sighed sadly as he got back to work.

After the battle of Vegas though, Don did have to send Twilight and her friends back to Ponyville. The war was getting too dangerous, and if they were captured, it would be catastrophic.

"I REALLY wish that I didn't have to leave you Don! I want to come with you so badly!"

"Yeah, I know Twilight, but this is for your own safety. Plus, we'll all be back once the war's over, so it won't be THAT long!"

Twilight smiled, and although she still had tears in her eyes, she reached up gently, and pulled Don into a kiss! None of the others really noticed, as they were too busy kissing their own coltfriends/marefriends, but Don was left wholly flabbergasted! NEVER did he EVER think that ANYONE would ever kiss him again!

He looked at Twilight with a massive blush on his face. "T-thanks." He said softly.

"You're welcome Don." Twilight then boarded the train with her friends, as well as a number of wounded soldiers that were bound for Ponyville, and he waved to her until she was out of sight. Little did he know though what was about to happen.

The next long period of time, from the moment that Zakia revealed that he'd captured Twilight, until her liberation, were all a blur for Don. Although he tried to never show it, he was just as angry as Alex and I were that our marefriends had been stolen.

"Just hang on Twilight, I WILL come for you! And I will NOT stop until those monsters have PAID THROUGH THEIR ASSES for what they've done to you!"

And sure enough, Don made good on that promise! Even though he didn't see as much action as some of the rest of us, he was right there with us the whole time. Wherever the Battleship Express went, he went with it. He did lead a few assaults in the Badlands, and those campaigns were very successful. After this though, Don did take a backseat role while some of the other field soldiers did their thing. However, in Zandia, Don once again stepped into the picture.

He was right there with us when we stormed the city, leading a battalion of his own troops. Aurora ended up saving him and his troops with her little "nuclear missile incident", and then once the city had fallen, we were all able to storm the Zandia Fortress, kill General Tarrath, and then move on.

However, the last battle that Don really was a part of was the Battle of Zebrica; because within THAT city was the mare that he loved more than ANYTHING else in the world!

"Just hang on a little bit longer Twilight! We're practically right on top of you! At Dawn tomorrow, we WILL save you!"

Sure enough, the next morning, Don made good on his threat. The Battle of Zebrica went underway in full swing. It was one of the worst battles of the entire war in terms of casualties, but it was an incredible Human, and Equestrian victory!

"TWILIGHT!!!" Don cried when he saw her.

"DON!!!!" She ran and leapt into his arms. She was so happy to see him again.

"Oh Twilight, I thought that I lost you FOREVER!"

Twilight was crying a bit. "So did I Don! I was beginning to wonder if you ever would show up! Bur now I see that my fears were unfounded!"

Once they'd taken their time to hug each other, Don then carefully unlocked her collar, before gently picking her up, and carrying her all of the way back out to the train.

For the next couple of days, all while preparing for the assault on the Caribou Empire, Don kept Twilight close at all times. He barely ever let her out of his sight if he could help it. Twilight really appreciated another guy like her brother Shining Armor that cared about her as much as Don did. Slowly, the two became more than friends.

All throughout the war in the Caribou Empire, Twilight stayed by Don's side at almost all times. Although they did still sleep in separate rooms, they did oftentimes cuddle whenever they got the chance.

"I really love spending time with you Don. I'm so glad that we can be together, ESPECIALLY after everything that's happened!"

Don nodded. Yeah, no kidding! After the Zebras got you, I was so, so afraid! I thought that I was never going to be able to see you again!"

As did I Don. I'm glad that you saved me too."

The happiest day for them came when the Imperial War finally ended. With the fall of Bryerton, there now were no more Caribou left. The war was won, and after General Stuggs, General Rodin, and Prince Dactyl signed the terms for the surrender, the war was over.

Once we were all back in Ponyville, and the crowds around the station began to die down, the Princesses asked Don if it would be possible to take an excursion trip with the Big Boy.

"Sure, I don't see any problems with it!"

While the 3 princesses were up in the cab with Todd, Alex and I, he, Twilight, and the rest of the Mane 6 were all in a coach farther back. What really surprised them though were all of the guns everywhere. There were several machine guns pointing out of the windows at various intervals, as well as heavier artillery guns.

"Wow, I still cannot believe that you guys really lived for this long among all of these weapons! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!"

Don nodded. "Yeah, they are aren't they? Every car had to be well-defended, and all guns had to be manned at all times. The vast majority of the Battleship Express's crew were either gunners, gun operators, or missile technicians. We weren't 'armed to the teeth, and ready to go at all times' for nothing!"

Twilight laughed a bit, before asking Don a few more questions, as well as sitting back and enjoying the rest of the ride.

Later that night though, the time had come for the sleeping arrangements to be worked out. I of course went to stay with Rainbow Dash, while Todd went with Fluttershy, Alex went with Applejack, Dan, went with Pinkie, as did Cole and Missy, Andy went with Rarity, and Don went with Twilight.

After he'd grabbed all of his necessary belongings, Don followed Twilight away from the Old Railyard, and through the streets of Ponyville. Eventually, they reached their destination, which was a massive tree!

"Holy cow! Is that a tree?!"

Twilight laughed. "Yeah, that's the Golden Oak Library. It's been my home ever since I moved here to Ponyville. And yes, if you were wondering, it IS real! The tree that the library resides in is still alive and growing!"

Don was shocked. "But.....how is that even POSSIBLE?!"

Twilight shrugged. "I'm not quite sure Don, however my research leads me to believe that the tree was hollowed out a few sections at a time, and the rest of the tree's structure was enhanced with Magic, so as to keep it alive and growing. And if you think that the OUTSIDE is amazing, just wait until you see the INSIDE!"

"Yeah, it is pretty cool!" A voice said.

Don looked around, but he didn't see anypony.

"Um, down here!"

Don looked down a bit, and there stood Spike, Twilight's Dragon assistant. "Oh, sorry Spike; I didn't see you there. But what does it look like?"

Spike pointed to the door. "Well, why don't you follow Twilight, and you'll find out!"

Don did so, and once Twilight opened the door, when he looked inside, his jaw hit the floor!

The entire interior of the library was filled with books. There were floor to ceiling shelves all around, as well as stairs that led to areas with even more books!

"Holy cow Twilight! This place is AMAZING!"

Twilight nodded, smiling. "Well, I'm glad that you think so Don. I love the Golden Oak Library, and I can't imagine living anywhere else!"

"Neither could I", Don said quietly, but he said it so softly that neither Twilight nor Spike heard him.

Eventually, after hours of reading books, as well as studying various subjects, the sun had gone down, and it was time for bed.

Twilight helped Don make up a sort of bed on a couch on the ground floor. "Are you sure that you don't want to sleep with me Don? I know that I could keep you VERY warm!"

Don shook his head. "While I know that that is a tempting offer Twilight, I still don't think that two non-related people, or Ponies, should sleep in the same bed until they're married. I know that a LOT of the others disagree with me on this, but others like Jim and Father Charles do agree."

Twilight nodded. "Yeah, and I can respect that Don. However, if you ever need anything, you know where to find me!" She then went upstairs to her room on the floor above.

"Goodnight Twilight."

"Goodnight Don."

Don then went and sat down on the couch. He knew that he needed sleep, but yet his mind was too wound up to allow it. He passed a bit of time writing in his diary, but eventually he did feel tired enough to try and sleep. When he did so though, he really wished that he didn't.

Sometime later, Twilight suddenly awoke to the sounds of screaming!

"Huh? What in Sweet Celestia's name....?!?!" Then she heard it again, as well as the sounds of somepony stumbling around downstairs. "Oh Celestia, DON!!!" Twilight then threw on her bathrobe over her nightgown, and ran to see what was wrong.

When she reached Don's side, she found him wrapped up in a blanket on the floor, mumbling, and breathing really heavy. He was also sweating a lot, and was rather pale.

"Don? Don! Are you ok?!" She helped him get untangled from the blanket that he was trapped in, before helping him back up to the couch. When she saw his face, she no longer saw a competent, capable officer that seemed so much older than he really was Now, all she saw was a scared, Human-Pegasus hybrid who seemed to be the age that he truly was, 25.

"Oh Twilight!" Don then began to hug her, all while crying softly.

Twilight comforted him. "Shh, it's ok Don, I'm here for you." She continued to hold him while he tried to get a grip on himself.

Eventually, he was able to, but he still held Twilight's hands gently in his own.

"There, now then, now that you're a bit calmer, what happened? Was it......the nightmares?" Many times during her stay on the train, Twilight had heard various train crew members scream out in the middle of the night. She knew what it was. "Nightmares/flashbacks of the war, brought on by Shell Shock." Up until that moment, she'd never actually witnessed Don having a Shell Shock nightmare, but now she knew that even he was not immune.

"Do you um.....w-want to talk about it?"

Don shook his head. "No. War is a terrible thing Twilight, and even once it's over, the REAL fight is just beginning. Let's just leave it at that."

Twilight nodded. "Well, I'm not going to leave you alone like this Don. You need comfort. So if you won't come up to my room, then I'll just stay down here with you, at least until you fall asleep."

She then had Don lay back down on the couch, while she lay next to him, and held him gently. Don relaxed almost immediately in her warm embrace, and before long, he fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

The next couple of days were like this for Don. He would return to the train when he was required to, but for the most part he just stayed with Twilight, although Twilight often followed him to the train as well.

Twilight was also his date for the ball, and while they were dancing, Don asked her a question. "Um.....Twilight?"

"Yeah Don?"

"Um, I was wondering,........w-would you be interested in being my....m-marefriend, as you would say? I mean, ever since the war, plus all of those nights that you spent with me so that I wouldn't have another Shell Shock induced nightmare, I NEED a mare like you in my life Twilight."

Twilight was VERY surprised. She never thought that another stallion would EVER find her attractive, but now here was one who did seem to. And she knew that Don was honest and genuine, and when he said something, he meant it.

She looked back at him, smiling. "For you Don, of course! Of course I'll be your marefriend!"

The two of them then hugged, and went back to their dancing.

Over the course of the next number of months, Don was engaged heavily with the building of the Imperial War Museum. Twilight functioned as his assistant/secretary when she wasn't fulfilling any duties for Princess Celestia. The days seemed to follow each other as the museum got built up more and more, and the more and more time that the two of them were able to spend together.

They also went on a number of dates, with most of them being to attend lectures on various fields of study, science conventions, or even just spending time reading at the library. The more time that he spent with Twilight, the more and more convinced that Don was becoming that she was indeed the mare for him. He wanted to be more than just marefriend and coltfriend; he wanted to marry Twilight.

Late one night, he talked it over with Jim, as well as Father Charles.

"So, what do you guys think?"

Jim sighed. "Well, if you're happy Don, and she's happy with you, then I'm happy for you both. You two really do seem to complete each other, and if God wants you two to be married, then great."

Father Charles sighed. "And if God is indeed calling you to her Don, then yes, I am happy for you as well. That young mare does have a good heart, and wants to serve those around her. She's a good mare Don, take care of her."

Don nodded, but then he had a question. "Um, Father?"

"Yes Major?"

"If I do decide to marry Miss Twilight, you would be willing to perform the marriage ceremony, right?"

He nodded. "Certainly! It's been TOO LONG since I last performed a wedding ceremony!"

Don nodded. "Ok then. And I'll pray about this a little bit more, but if everything goes the way that I think that it will, I will be married by next Spring!"

Don then left to finish up his work for the day.

Eventually, he decided what he was going to do. One afternoon after making a quick stop, he went to go see Twilight.

"Oh, hello Don!"

"Hey Twilight."

"What brings you here?"

Don then got incredibly nervous. He'd been planning for this moment for a long time, but now that it had arrived, his nerves were failing him.

"Um, well......I was just wondering if you wanted to go and have a picnic with me. I've finished up all of my work for the day."

Twilight thought about that. "Sure! I'm free as well, so let's go!"

Don was carrying the picnic basket, while Twilight held onto his arm. They walked for a ways until they reached a grassy hill just outside of Ponyville. When they arrived there, Don set up the blanket, as well as the food, plates, and plastic cutlery. Unknown to Twilight though, close by were Jim and myself. We were both there to record the moment where Don proposed to Twilight.

"When do you think that he'll propose Jim?"

Jim shrugged. "I don't know Leopard. However, I do know that he'll signal for us when he's ready."

We both kept watching and waiting for Don's signal.

Eventually, Don felt that the time was right. The sun was setting behind them, and the food was all eaten. He then looked behind himself, gave us the signal and then Jim and I stood up, and walked towards the two picnic goers.

Twilight saw us. "Oh Captain Leopard, Mr. Jim, what a pleasant surprise!"

"Hello Miss Sparkle."

"Hi Twilight."

Twilight then noticed that Jim was holding a camera, while I was holding a video camera.

"What's.......going on Don? Why do they have cameras?"

Don knew that his big moments was here. The time had come, but his nerves had failed him.

I saw that Don had frozen up. "Come on Don, you can do this. You've gotten through MUCH worse than this!"

Twilight was still confused. "Gotten through worse than what? What's he talking about Don?"

Don then reached inside of himself, and found his courage once again. He knew what he had to do. After grabbing something out of his back pocket, he walked over to where Twilight was sitting.

"Twilight? Ever since the first time that I met you, I knew that we both felt a connection. We seemed to be the same in many ways, as well as being some of the only people who could understand each other. We went through war in Las Pegasus, and I led the charge through the Zebra Empire to save you and the other hostages.

And once the war was over, it was you who helped me get through the awful PTSD-induced nightmares. You were always there for me, and so now, I want to always be there for you. I just have one question for you Twilight." He then reached into his pocket, and pulled out a small, black box. Then, while Twilight was sitting in front of him, he opened the box, revealing an engagement ring.

"Twilight, will you marry me?"

When Twilight saw the box, her emotion levels shot through the roof. At first, she just stared at Don with tears in her eyes. Then she pulled him close, and hugged him tightly.

"YES, YES!!!! 1,000 times over YES!!!!!"

The two of them kissed briefly, before going back to hugging.

I then looked over at Jim. "Well, I think that we could call this one a mission complete, wouldn't you say Jim?"

He nodded. "Yes, I couldn't agree more Captain Leopard. I know that they will be VERY happy together."

We both then left, leaving Don and Twilight to be on their own.

Over the course of the next couple of months, in addition to helping build the museum, as well as duties with the Foreign Legion, Don helped Twilight plan out their wedding.

The plan was to have the wedding at the Ponyville Gardens, as Twilight had had her heart set on marrying there for years. They were also planning on a Spring wedding. Once the date was locked in, it was to be on March 28th, 2030.

Invitations were sent out to everyone on the train, as well as others who Twilight wanted to invite. The cake would be provided by Sugarcube Corner, the flowers would come from Roseluck and her sisters, and the rest of the Mane 6, and even some of the other train crew, helped with the planning as well.

"Who will be your Best Stallion Don?" Twilight asked him.

"Well, it'll be Jim. A number of years ago, I was the best man at his wedding. Now I want him to do the same for me."

"Ok, makes sense to me. Rarity will make my dress for me, but what will you wear?"

"I'll be wearing my formal uniform that I wore to the Gala. Also, who will be your Maid of Honor?"

"My Mare of Honor will be my old foal-sitter, Cadence. I think that Rarity's sister Sweetie Belle, as well as Applejack's sister Applebloom will be the flower girls, but who will be the ring bearer?"

Don thought about that. "I don't know. Usually, I would just give Leopard the job, but ever since he married 2 mares?! HECK NO!!!! I'll give the job to Joe Dixon if he wants it."

Twilight thought back to my wedding to Rainbow Dash on September 15th, 2029. Then on October 8th, I took Spitfire to be my wife as well.

"She sighed. "Yeah, Captain Leopard is a little bit on the wacky side, but still, he's a good stallion, and he is a soldier, so there's that too."

Don sighed. "Yeah, I guess so. But still, Alex's wedding to Applejack went off right on October 21st, 2029, why couldn't his have been the same?"

"Eh, maybe because it was just the 2 of them?"

Don sighed. "Yeah, I guess so. But still, I just wish that Leopard didn't do it." He then went back to the papers that he was working on.

Finally, that March, Don was heading back to his room one night, completely unaware that he was being followed. He was then suddenly grabbed, and had a bag thrown over his head!

"Hey, what the?!"

"You're coming with us Buddy!" A voice growled. "There's SOMEBODY who wants to see you!" Don was then dragged away.

Eventually, he felt himself get tied to a chair, before the bag was removed from his head.

"SURPRISE DON!!!"

Don looked, and to his shock, he was sitting inside of the TCC at the back of the train, and in front of him were Jim, me, Todd, Alex, Joe, and a few others. Behind us were a few tables with food on them, as well as some games.

"Wait, you all KIDNAPPED ME for my Bachelor's Party?!"

I laughed. "Yep! It was all Jim's idea!"

Jim then laughed a bit. "Yeah, guilty as charged! I hope that you like it Don!"

Don was still in a state of shock. "Well, if you'll kindly UNTIE ME from this chair, then I'll see if I like it or not!"

"Eh, you're not actually tied up Don. Move your arms a bit."

He did so, and sure enough, we were right; he wasn't actually tied up. He then stood up, and looked around the room. "I still can't believe that you guys did this! Thank you!"

"Eh, you're welcome Don! You've been our leader for a long time, so it was our genuine pleasure!"

We all then had a night of fun in the PCC. There were video games, board games, card games, lots of food, and even a karaoke machine! Everyone had a lot of fun, and Don said that it was the best party that he'd ever been thrown.

When the party wound down though, we did have to clean up and get ready for the wedding, which would be in less than a week.

Finally, the big day had arrived. It was March 28th, 2030. The time was a little bit past noon, and the wedding was slated to start at 2pm. Just prior to this, there would also be a traditional ceremony where we would all get together and "give" Don over to Twilight. It was a military tradition that we were going to continue.

On Twilight's end of things, she was getting ready with her bridesmaids, which were the rest of the Mane 6, while Rarity was finishing up with her dress.

"I still CANNOT believe that I'm getting married!"

Dash and Applejack looked at her.

"Well Twilight, Ah can say that you got nothin' to worry about! My wedding to Alex went off without a hitch."

"Yeah, and so did mine to Stud! And so did his wedding to Spitfire!"

Fluttershy looked up at her. "Um, I kinda wish that it was my turn Twilight. It still feels like so much longer until my wedding to Todd."

"Yeah, same with my wedding to Dan!" Pinkie added. I just wish that it was Summer now!"

Twilight then looked back at her friends. 2 of them were married, and the rest were now engaged.

"I'm really glad that we can all do this together girls. You all have been the BEST group of friends that I've EVER had!"

They all hugged her. "You're welcome Twilight! Now get out there and enjoy your wedding!"

They all heard the music start, and they all began to scurry to their pre-wedding positions.

On Don's end of things though, he was suddenly getting cold feet. His nerves were shot, and he seemed to almost be hyperventilating. The rest of us were trying to calm him down.

"Don, just calm down. Everything's going to be fine! You'll do great!"

I looked over at him. "Yeah, what they said. You've got NOTHING to worry about Don! I went through 2 weddings without a hitch! Well, except for what happened with Len, but let's NOT talk about that!"

"Leopard's right Major. Plus, my wedding to Applejack went off just fine. You've got nothing to worry about. Plus, ALL of us will be right there with you every step of the way!"

Don then looked over at his comrades. They had all gone to hell and back together. They would be there to the bitter end no matter what.

He looked up. "You're right guys! I've got NOTHING to worry about! Now then, let's all get out there. We have a Transfer Ceremony to perform, as well as a wedding to attend!"

We all nodded, and then we left for the garden.

Once we were outside of the garden, while a number of Ponies watched, we performed the "Transfer Ceremony". This was a tradition that dated all of the way back to WW3. The groom would be "given" by his comrades over to his bride, and be devoted to her, AND the Core. Alex and I had already gone through this, and now it was Don's turn. Todd, Dan, Cole, and Andy watched, knowing that they would be next soon enough.

Jim performed the "ceremony". "Major Don Curry, do you solemnly swear to still stand by your Brothers in Arms, and again bear the burden of war should the need arise?"

"Yes Sir, I do."

"And do you vow to love Twilight until your dying day?"

"Yes Sir, I do."

"Ok then, give me your hand."

He did so, and Jim poked it with a sterile needle. Once Don bled a little, he added his bloody fingerprint to the contract that all of us signed on our wedding day. Alex's and I's fingerprints were already there, and now Don added his to the mix as well.

"Ok Don, and we'll be holding you to this contract now that you've signed it in your own blood. We now give you the Core's permission to marry Twilight!"

Don nodded, and then we all took our pre-wedding positions.

Sure enough, at precisely 2pm, the Wedding got underway. The first one in was of course Father Charles, as he was the minister for the ceremony.

Next, Came Don and the rest of us groomsmen. We all lined the isle at intervals, and stood at attention as Don passed us. He then went up to the front, where he joined Father Charles.

Just then though, the music changed.

The rest of the audience stood up, and sure enough, Twilight came down the isle. She was followed by her bridesmaids, the CMC's, who were the flower girls, and Joe, as he was the ring bearer.

Don gasped a bit in surprise when he saw Twilight. Her wedding dress was pure white, although it did have purple trim, as well as a veil. She had golden horseshoes on her hooves, and a broach of her cutie-mark in her mane as well. She was being led down the isle by her dad. Out in the audience, her mom and Shining Armor were crying.

"I can't believe that Twily's getting married!"

"Yeah, I know Shining, I can't believe it either!"

Once Twilight was up on the small stage at the back of the garden where Don was, she turned to face him. As they held hands, all of the music stopped.

Once everyone and Everypony had taken their seats, Father Charles began. "Now then, are you two ready to begin?"

"Yes Sir!"

"Yes Father, we're ready!"

"Ok then. Now then, will the ring bearer please bring up the rings?"

Joe did so.

"Thank you. Now then, Donald Curry, do you, take this mare to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, to cherish and to love, through sickness, and health, good times and bad, to love until the bitter end no matter what?"

Don then took his ring, and put it on her finger. "I do. I take you, Twilight, to be my lawfully wedded wife. To have and to hold, to cherish and to love, through sickness and health, good times and bad, to love until the bitter end, no matter what!"

Father Charles then turned to Twilight. "Twilight Sparkle, do you, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, to cherish and to love, through sickness, and health, good times and bad, to love until the bitter end no matter what?"

Twilight looked at Don with tears in her eyes as she slipped her ring onto his finger. "Yes, I do! I take you, Don Curry, to be my lawfully wedded husband. To have and to hold, to cherish and to love, through sickness, and health, good times and bad, to love until the bitter end no matter what!"

Father Charles then looked out over the audience. "Now then, does anyone, or anypony, have any objections to this union? If so, speak now, or forever hold your peace!"

Nopony said anything.

"Ok then. By the power vested in me as presider over this wedding union, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Don then gently took Twilight's veil, and after lifting it up, he pulled her in close, and the 2 of them kissed.

The whole crowd then went wild, and now 3 of the Mane 6 were married; Twilight, Dash, and Applejack.

The wedding reception went off without a hitch, and after the cake was cut, and the first pieces fed to the bride and groom by each other, it was time for the couple's first dance. They went with the song that Don had picked a long time ago.

Some of the rest of us who knew the words sang along.

Then, the rest of us were able to kick up our heels to various songs. I even grabbed the mic and sang this one for Don and Twilight.

Unfortunately, I forgot one little detail, I could barely sing to save my own life!

Finally, Twilight had enough of that! "Oh Celestia Leopard, GET OFF THE STAGE!!! Let a REAL singer show you how it's done!" The then grabbed me with her magic, and dragged me off the stage! She then sang the same song that she'd sung for her brother and Cadence a few years prior.

Once that was all done, the time had come for the throwing of the bouquet, as well as the garter.

"Is everypony ready?" Twilight asked.

"Ready Twilight!"

"Ok then, here it comes!" She then tossed her bouquet out into the crowd of single mares. It was caught by Lyra.

Twilight looked over at her. "Well Lyra, it looks like you'll be the next one down the isle!"

While she was cheering about that, Don got the garter off of Twilight, and prepared to toss it. "Are all of you guys ready?" single guys ready?"

"Oh yeah!"

he then flung it, and it got caught by Spike. "Congrats Spike! You're the lucky guy to catch the garter!"

Then, while the crowd was still cheering, it was time for Don and Twilight to leave on their honeymoon. Their destination was the Crystal Empire to spend time with Shining Armor and Cadence.

"Don't worry Don, I'll take GOOD care of the Battleship Express while you're gone!"

"Thanks Jim! I know that you will!" He then climbed into the carriage that was waiting to take them away.

Twilight hugged her bother. "Congratulations Twily!"

"Thanks BBBFF!"

"I still can't believe that you're a bride! You've really grown up Twily!"

She blushed a bit. "Thanks BBBFF! And I'll see you again soon!"

"Yeah, see you soon Twily!"

She then got into the carriage as well. Behind it, Alex, Todd, and I were still attaching the ropes and empty shell casings that were going to be clanging along behind the carriage.

Once they were ready, the carriage pulled away to the sounds of a 21 gun salute.

"BON VOYAGE DON AND TWILIGHT!!!" We all yelled.

Don and Twilight waved to us until their carriage was out of sight.

Ok, so that was the first of the wedding chapters, and the 3rd wedding chronologically. First came my wedding to Dash, then my wedding to Spitfire. Then Alex's wedding to Applejack, Don's wedding to Twilight, Todd's wedding to Fluttershy, Pinkie's wedding to Dan, Cole's wedding to Missy, and finally, Rarity's wedding to Andy. They won't quite be in this order, but this is their chronological order.

So now Don and Twilight are married! How long will it be until they have foals of their own? How big will their family be? What does the future hold for them? Also, who's wedding will be next? Well, you know the drill, stay tuned, and I'll tell you!

Meanwhile, as always, comments, feedback, questions, as well as any suggestions for the future, are always appreciated, and I'll see you all in Chapter 8!

ScarFox out for now!
