Up in the Canterlot Castle, people from Ponyville, Crystal Empire and Canterlot were gathering around, celebrating a very special occasion. For the first 11 months, Spike and Rarity had been going out and enjoying their time together by going to the beach, having picnics under the gazebo, dinner at restaurants and just plain fooling around with each other in bed. Whenever Rarity was working, Spike would stop by sometimes to help her, but she didn't have him do anything too hard.

It wasn't until about one month earlier that Spike had finally gotten the courage to propose to Rarity, asking for her hand in holy matrimony. Rarity reacted to his proposal by hugging him tightly, spinning around in her shop and ending it with a kiss.

Today, Spike and Rarity's wedding was taking place at Spike's "mother's" castle. And to make things more interesting, Spike's wingman was none other than Rarity's ex-boyfriend, Fancy Pants. Spike and Fancy just couldn't get off the subject about Rarity and all that's happened so far.

"You know, Fancy, to tell you the truth, I was a bit surprised at first." Spike said.

"Oh? And why do you say that, Spike?" Fancy asked.

"When she first started going out with you, I honestly thought she'd end up getting married with you months ago, I mean you're one of the most well-respected guys here in Canterlot, you're rich beyond your wildest dreams and you even share a respect for those less lucky than you, and I'm mostly just a simple guy who lives in a simple town."

"Yet, you have the woman you've admired so much."

"I... I just didn't get it at first when she left you."

"Spike, can tell you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"You see, Spike. The reason Rarity chose to marry you instead of me was because of the fact that she had known you the longest and you offered her so much, including the one thing that not even all the money in Equestria, no, all the money in the entire world could buy. And the one thing that couldn't be bought with money... was the happiness you made her feel."

"I... I suppose you're right, Fancy."

"You know, something, Spike? I'm very happy for you. And I'm positive that even the princesses are smiling down upon you as well."

"So what about you? Did you find anyone special?"

"Well, I suppose you could say that... Fleur and I have gotten back together. Though, it's going to be difficult to stay together, but we've already thought about having children."

"Really? Congradulations, Fancy."

"Why, thank you, Spike, and you, too." Fancy checked his watch. "Oh dear, it's almost time, quick, we mustn't keep the guests waiting, they're about to start soon. Come along, Spike."

"Got it."

Fancy rushed Spike out of the guest room and over to the grand hall where the crowds' eyes were all locked on Fancy and Spike on the left hand side. Spike saw Twilight and her friends on the right hand side, obviously being chosen to be Rarity's bridesmaids for this special event.

5 minutes later, Octavia started the band off.

The crowds all turned their attention to the front doors of the grand hall where the Cutie Mark Crusaders scattered flower petals all over the red carpet. Walking behind them was Rarity. Her face was covered by her wedding veil and she wore a beautiful white and purple wedding dress, holding a bouquet with the added bonus of the fire ruby necklace Spike had given her years ago. Spike was stunned at how beautiful she looked, too distracted to see that she was slowly getting closer and closer to him with each passing second and he started to feel a little bit nervous about the whole thing at a bad time.

Fancy Pants patted Spike on the shoulders to help calm his nerves. Spike snapped out of his trance and nodded at Fancy with a reassuring look on his face. He looked back and saw his beautiful bride coming closer and closer, yet it feels like time had made the world around him slow down. That didn't matter though, since Spike had grown a lot of patience when it came to special events. And since this event was the most special to him at the moment, he was savoring each and every second of it that he possibly could.

Somehow, deep in Spike's heart, he could tell that underneath that wedding veil of hers, Rarity was probably feeling just as nervous as he was and she could feel how nervous he was, too. It was like their hearts were joined together spiritually. Twilight and her friends wouldn't stop smiling and shedding a few tears, feeling happy for their friends finally being united. Soon, Rarity took a few steps up to the alter and faced Spiked, close enough for Spike to see the beautiful smile behind her wedding veil.

Princess Luna started off the speech, letting them know that their union is a blessing and a difficult path that is not to be taken lightly. When she finished, Spike and Rarity swore their vows and placed their rings on each other's right hand and Spike lifted the veil over Rarity's head, revealing that beautiful smile of hers and he smiled back at her warmly. They leaned into each other and locked lips, sealing the deal and finally uniting as husband and wife, now and forever more.

The crowds all cheered for the newlyweds. Fancy Pants smiled happily and clapped his hands, thinking to himself how well Spike and Rarity make as a couple.

'You've done well Spike. You've done well.' Fancy said in his mind. Fancy was glad that Spike was married now and that nothing would ever tear the two lovebirds apart.

After the ceremony, everyone gathered over at the private garden, chatting and eating and just having a good time while Spike and Rarity were enjoying their little private time underneath one of the trees.

"Isn't this great, honey?" Spike asked.

"It most definitely is darling. We both got what we've always wanted." Rarity replied.

"Yeah, you got a husband and I got myself a beautiful wife."

"Yes, but... there's something else you gave me."

"Oh? What might that be?"

"Could you lean a little closer, darling? I have a surprise to tell you."

"Uh, sure Rare-Bear, what is it?" Spike leaned in and waited for Rarity to speak.

"Spikey, darling..." Rarity then whispers the two unexpected words Spike ever hears. "I'm pregnant." Spike's eyes shot wide open and he looked at Rarity who smiled at him.

"You're serious?"

"Yes." she giggled. Slowly... Spike beamed with excitement and jumped in the air.

"WOOHOOHOO!!! I'M GONNA BE FATHER!!!" he shouted. Rarity giggled at her husband's excited tone and then felt herself being picked up and she yelped. "This is gonna be great!"

"I'm so glad you like it, Spike."

"Like it? I love it!" Spike wraps his arms around her gently. Rarity hugged him back, humming peacefully, knowing that she and Spike would dedicate their lives as both husband and wife and mother and father. "I love you, Rarity, with all my heart."

"I love you too... Spikey-Wikey." she whispers in his ear.
