“Celestia, your little sister is trembling!”

“Wouldn’t you, Cadance, if you were in her place?”

“Well, I wasn’t exactly a stoic rock when Shining lifted my veil, I admit. Luna needs to calm down, or her poor boutonniere will fall to pieces. She’ll do fine. Listen, there’s the Songbird Voluntary. Twilight’s coming!”

~~~~~

“How do I look, BBBFF? My veil’s all wrong! Oh, I forgot my checklist, I thought I had it hidden in the bouquet - I have to go back for it! I…”

“Relax, Twily. One hoof in front of the other. Take my hoof and we’ll do this together.”

“Right. Shining, was Cadance this nervous when she came down the aisle?”

“No, but I was.”

~~~~~

“Oh, Applejack, she’s positively radiant! I can’t believe this is our Twilight, and it’s really happening!”

“Ah know, Rares. Who’d a figured Twi’d be the first one o’ us girls to do this? Rares - you’re shakin’. You cryin’, sugarcube?”

“I can’t help it, dear. I feel awful for thinking this, but… It should have been me. I thought I’d have been the one wearing the veil, I thought after I caught Cadance’s bouquet - I don’t know, it was a foalish notion.”

“Ain’t nothin’ wrong with hope, Rarity, or with dreamin’. If this is what you really want, then shucks, I might just have to make you next after all.”

“AJ - AJ, do you really mean that?”

“If’n I do it, I’m gonna do it real proper-like. Now hush, Shinin’s about to give ‘er away.”

~~~~~

“Cutie Mark Crusader Flowergirls! Commence Operation: Rose Petal Avalanche!”

“Girls! Cut it out! It’s hard enough to balance rings on a pillow without you three burying me in pony buffet leftovers.”

“Aw, Spike, quitcher quakin’, yer doin’ fine. Mah sister’n Rarity look more nervous’n you.”

“I’m serious! I have to make a good impression here. I’m a free dragon now, and they say weddings are a great place to meet your true love, and… uh, wow…”

“Sweetie, did you just kiss a dragon on the cheek?”

“You heard what he said! Besides, he’s finally over my sister, so he’ll be on the rebound. Now’s my big chance!”

~~~~~

“Dashie, your tail’s twitching! And your mane! Ooooh, do you have Pinkie Sense too? Or reddie-orangey-yellowy-greenie-bluey-purpley Sense? What are you getting? Is something falling? Is somepony getting hit by a door?”

“Look, fifth row center. Spitfire’s here! She’s really here!”

“So is Bumblesweet, and Fizzy Pop, and oooh, there’s Pepperdance! And Lucky Swirl, and..”

“Yeah, yeah, Pinkie, whatever. But that’s Spitfire!”

“Well duh, you’ve met her before, and showed her the boomy-rainy thing a few times, and saved her life, and oh, I see where you’re going with this.”

“Hay yeah! Tonight’s the night. Best Rainboom ever! She has to notice me. I hope.”

“Aw, is Dashie a little nervousy-wervousy?”

“Mff mff no arm nart.”

“Did your Dashie Sense tell you to munch on the bouquet? Is that what’ll impress Spitfire? ‘Cause I thought asking her to do the flyby with you would be a better approach, but hey, you’re the cool one!”

~~~~~

“Sister, my hooves quake, as does my heart. Am I doing the right thing?”

“Luna, you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t certain.”

“I know, but Cadance was the first of us to wed, and neither you nor I have ever - “

“I believe in you, Luna. We all do - your bride to be most of all. I have never seen either of you so happy, and I have never been so sure of anything I have witnessed or performed. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, I know you and Twilight are meant to be. I do hope you have a good honeymoon planned. Now that you're back I’m getting a little rusty with raising the moon on my own again, so don’t be gone too long!”

Author's Notes:

TMP Prompt #149: “Higher Harmony”. Ponies attend a religious service.

Retrospective and extended Author's Notes:
Another talking heads piece, hopefully easily identifiable. Spike's "I'm a free dragon now" is an allusion to Rustic & Romantic, as by this time it's obvious that (as Applejack assures Rarity) a RariJack wedding really will be next. I never came back to the SpikeBelle angle. I don't consider it creepy at all, and it's not Spike settling for a "good enough substisute" for Rarity. I think his crush was for a type of pony, and once he grew enough to realize it, and saw Twilight embrace romance too, he got over his adolescent fixation.

Songbird Voluntary is Fluttershy's version of the popular wedding music.

As we see here, Dash hasn't yet hooked up with Spitfire, but it's not far off. At some point I'll revise If the Flight Suit Fits to reflect this. Pinkie's list of random attendees isn't made of OCs; it's made of non-show blind bag and toy figure pony names.

Note also the implication that neither Luna nor Celestia had ever been married. They'd had relationships and lovers, definitely, but for reasons of immortality, danger, and barrenness (alicorns are sterile in this universe) they'd never wed.
