"I'm so nervous," Twilight said as she approached the doors leading to the same hall where her brother got married. "Why is this so frightening!?"

"Twilight," Rarity said putting a hoof on her shoulder. "It's alright to feel this way, but remember, this is a good thing. And you hopeful won't have to punch him again."

Twilight, nodded and smiled as the doors opened. A rush of warm air followed by the sounds of the others inside died as she was seen.

She stepped in, the sound of Fluttersy's birds singing filled the room with a melodic song, the lights coming in through the windows offered the right amount of a gold tint to the room, and at the top of the steps ahead was a shaking red stallion dressed in a black tuxedo.

Twilight, going down the aisle, watched as Applebloom, Sweetiebelle, and Scootaloo went past her, flinging flower petals onto the carpet. Twilight, dressed in a simple white dress, an emerald a darker green than her soon to be husband's cutie mark, and a cast for her injured leg.

Looking left and right through her veil, she could see the entire Apple family, her own family members, Blueblood in a corner, and Spike next to the podium with the rings. To the right, changelings were seated on the chairs, the walls, the pillars, and even the ceiling. Glancing out the window, she could see thousands more outside, waiting for the big moment.

Going down the red carpet, she mad her way to the steps, but when she tried to get up, she nearly tripped if it hadn't have been for Big Macintosh helping her up. Smiling, she took his hoof and got in her place in front of him.

"We all are gathered here today to witness the binding of these two souls," Celestia said. "Big Macintosh, and Queen Twilight Sparkle. This is a joyous moment for us all, to be witnessing true love at its greatest again. Big Macintosh, would you care to recite your vow?"

"Eeyup." He nodded, shakily gulping he began. "When ah first met ya Twilight, ah didn't think much of ya. But when ya risked everything for the town when ya went to get Nightmare Moon, ah saw somethin' different bout' ya. Ah saw a hard workin' mare that protects her friends and kin, just like an Apple. After that, ah wanted to tell ya somethin' or ask ya out to dinner, but ah never had the courage to do it. What ah'm tryin' to say is, ah love a for ya heart, not ya looks." He finished giving the blushing bride a smile, and she didn't laugh with his fillings this time.

"Very sweet; Queen Twilight, your vow now." Celestia said looking down at the changeling queen.

"R-Right..." Twilight said. "T-The reason I've wanted you to marry me... I don't really know to be honest. But, I guess it's because you never pressed anything, you were always so relaxed, and I'm sure I would have liked for you to come by the library so we could have read together. What really caught my eye about you though, was your stubbornness and determination to make sure I was safe, from fighting Princess Celestia to traveling an entire continent to make sure nothing happened to me. Big Macintosh, as cheesy as it is to say this, you are my knight in shining armor."

"Very touching," Celestia said with a light blush where Twilight had mentioned her soon to be husband fighting her. "Big Macintosh, do you take Queen Twilight Sparkle to be your bride?"

"Ah do." He said straightening his neck.

"And do you, Queen Twilight Sparkle take Big Macintosh to be your law-fully wedded husband?" Celestia asked looking down at her.

"I do."

"Then you may kiss the-"

They didn't wait, instead they pressed their lips together in a passionate kiss. It was only a few seconds, but it was enough to leave both of them grinning like a pair of idiots. The ponies and changeling clapped and whistled in a cheer, outside there was a wave of changelings cheering.

"Ring bearer, if you would." Celestia said motioning to Spike.

Spike, with tears sizzling on his cheeks, took the rings up which Big Mac took. Stepping down, he pulled out a hoofkerchief and blew his nose onto it just as the water works went full blast.

Twilight, closing her eyes let him slide on the ring, it got caught in a hole, but with a slight push, it went down to the base. Taking the other in her hoof, she put it around his hoof and set it just below his knee.

"This is so sappy! But I love it!" Spike said letting Pinkie borrow his hoofkerchief. "Why do I always do this?" He asked wiping his eyes on a sleeve.

"Now, how about the wedding cake, Pinkie?" Queen Twilight asked her pink friend who, was nearly drowning Spike and an unfortunate Rarity in tears.

Pinkie, nodding, ran down the isle soaking the Apple family, Twilight's family, and changelings before she came running back with a large triple layer cake. It stood as tall as a grown stallion, pink frosting roses dotted the edges while the rest was just a pristine white, and on the top there sat two miniature figures of Queen Twilight and Big Macintosh. Wheeling it to the happy couple, she pulled out a plate and cake cutter from underneath the trolley it sat upon. Cutting a piece from the top, she set it on the plate and gave it to the bride first.

As Queen Twilight was about to take a bite, the plate was uplifted and the cake as sent into her face. Blinking as the plate hung onto her nose, she looked questioningly at Big Mac, who, for his part was grinning back at her.

Wiping some off her face, she sent it right into his. He merely blinked and snorted some icing out of his nose. Looking at her, Pinkie set a plate with another slice of cake on his hoof. As he went to squish it in her face, she ducked and the piece went straight into a startled Celestia. The whole room gasped and then went quiet, even the changelings were glancing nervously between the two.

"You know," Celestia said wiping some cake off herself. "This could be considered an act of war."

"W-War?" Queen Twilight said picking herself up. "I don't think an accident has any real leverage for such a... Bloody action."

"I'd say it does." Celestia said. "The first royal cake war perhaps?" She grinned before throwing the piece back at Big Macintosh who ducked as it flew at him, and it nailed Camo in the face instead.

Camo merely sat there, blinking as the gears in his head made sense of what just happened. When they eventually fell to pieces, he managed to process enough that he began laughing. Falling off his chair, he was grabbing his side with one hoof while the other was pointed at Celestia.

"I-I never thought I'd s-see the day you have fun!" He laughed before another shot hit him in the head. "This is going to be a pain to get out but," picking some up with his magic, he flung it right back at Celestia, she moved out of the way and instead her sister was hit. Caught off guard as she was talking with Shining Armor and his wife, she fell over with an indignant squawk making Celestia and Camo laugh.

As they all began throwing cake in the room, no one noticed the cutter take out a slice of cake and then for the plate and slice to disappear in a swirl of yellow smoke.
