Daring stood before me in a beautiful white wedding dress. “And do you...” The preacher trailed off, realizing that he had never really gotten my name.

“Just call me John… everypony else does.” I smiled as I looked to Brixie, who was Daring’s maid of honour, to Billy, who was my best-stallion. I then looked to Elijah, who had survived his encounter with Charlie. Turned out that somehow he had missed every vital point when he shot Elijah.

I had offered Elijah to be my best stallion to comfort him after everything that had happened, but he politely turned down the offer, saying he didn’t know how it would look if my best stallion was wrapped up in medical bandage to cover bullet holes.

Elijah cradled a puppy in his forelegs. Turns out that Bear had gotten frisky with a German Shepard down in Baltimare and the owner had been so angry because her dog was a show dog. She trailed us all the way back just to give Elijah trouble, but when she found out what had happened, she gave him one of the puppies.

Elijah called the puppy Bear Jr., stating that Bear would’ve probably liked that.

The preacher nodded. “And do you, John, take Daring to be your lawfully wedded wife, to hold and to love, from this day forwards, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, through sickness and in health, for ever and for always, until death do you part?” The preacher asked, reading the scripture.

I looked deep into Daring’s eyes as we held hooves at the alter stage. “I do.” I replied. The preacher nodded.

“Then it is my honour to pronounce you Stallion and wife, you may kiss the bride.” He stated. I leaned over as Daring closed her eyes and we embraced in a romantic kiss. Daring tossed the wedding bouquet over her shoulder before wrapping her hooves around my shoulder.

Ponies stood up and began clapping. Bear Junior lept into the air and grabbed the wedding bouquet in his jaws before thrashing his head around, shredding the bouquet to pieces in a comical act. Many mares gasped but then Bear trotted up to a certain light yellow mare with long flowing pink hair.

Bear kept a rose in his mouth, like a gentlecolt, and knelt before the mare. She blushed furiously before Bear jumped up to his hindlegs and nudged the rose into her mane, just above her ear. The mare gasped. “Oh my… why thank you.” She replied and Bear stuck his tongue out and gave her a long slurpy lick across her face, making Elijah chuckle.

I stood with Daring and watched as everypony began conversing with one another. Suddenly, Princess Celestia stepped forth, with a cowpony hat tipped low and chaps around her forelegs. A lone revolver sat in a hip holster as she gave me a wink. Her wings were concealed by a brown vest so nopony realized who she was, except my friends and me.

“Thank you, all of you… I never thought I’d see this revolver ever again.” She thanked us and we all nodded in return. “No if you’ll please excuse me, I have business to attend to.” She stated then trotted away.

Daring grasped me tightly and smiled, Brixie gave Billy a sloppy kiss to the cheek while Elijah simply chuckled as he watched Bear Jr. lead the pale yellow pegasus over to him. “Oh my… oh… uhm… hello.” She stammered and we all tipped our hats. “Uhm… is he… your dog? He’s very… uhm… affectionate…” She was very sheepish with her words.

“Yes, he is. We uhm… call him Bear Jr., after his father… I’m Elijah.” Elijah stammered as he blushed and extended his foreleg. I could tell he was nervous around this mare but she returned the gesture by timidly shaking his hoof.

“I’m… I’m Po… Pos… Posey.” She managed. Elijah nodded and Daring and I looked into each other’s eyes.

“So?” She asked and I tilted my head to one side.

“So… what?” I asked and she stifled a giggle.

“So what happens next…”
