Royal Romance

Finally an hour after Celestia proposed to Twilight, they headed back to the dining hall to find a curious group of friends. They saw the huge smiles on their faces and more importantly, the horn ring on Twilight. Rarity rushed to Twilight, hugged her and asked, "Twilight darling, you're getting married!"

Twilight smiled and replied, "Yep, I'm getting married!"

The ring Celestia gave Twilight was huge, the largest that anypony had ever seen. While Rarity was amazed by the ring Celestia had given Twilight, she couldn't help but be a bit envious. She continued, "Twilight, your ring is absolutely magnificent! I wish I could find a stallion to give me a ring like that!"

Twilight replied, "Oh Rarity, I'm sure someday you'll find that special somepony."

Rarity realized that Twilight was right and decided to just drop the issue. She asked, "I take it you are going to need gowns? When do you want me to get started?"

Before Twilight could say anything Celestia interrupted, "It would be great if you could get started right away. I want our wedding to take place as soon as possible."

Twilight smiled and added, "I agree with Celestia. I think you should get started right away."

Rarity asked, "So how many gowns will I have to make? I'm sure you will have bridesmaids."

Twilight replied, "While Shining Armor will be my Stallion of Honor, I do hope that you and the rest of my friends will be my bridesmaids and I am hoping that Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo will be the flower girls."

Celestia added, "And I plan on having Cadence as my Maid of Honor."

Rarity asked, "What about Luna? What will her role be?"

Luna replied, "We shall preside over the ceremony so we will not be needing any apparel."

Rarity got a sick look on her face. She said, "Ok, that will be eleven dresses." She started getting panicky and continued, "Oh, and I have to get you and Cadence measured!

Celestia replied, "Don't worry Rarity! We're not going to rush you."

Applejack asked, "So, are y'all going to need somepony to do catering for this? If y'all do, I'd be happy to do it."

Twilight replied, "Of course you can do the catering Applejack and before you ask Fluttershy, I do think your songbird choir should be present."

Fluttershy smiled and replied, "Oh what an honor!"

Celestia knew that she wouldn't have to ask Rainbow about this because she knew she would gladly do it. Celestia commented, "And Rainbow Dash, we would really appreciate it if you would perform a sonic rainboom while Twilight and I kiss after saying I do."

Rainbow got a beaming smile on her face and shouted, "Hay yeah I will! This is going to be the BEST WEDDING EVER!"

Twilight continued, "Pinkie, do you think you could host the reception for us since you did such a good job with Cadence and Shining Armor's reception?"

Pinkie enthusiastically accepted Twilight's offer and everypony was ecstatic with the wedding planning that was going on. Even Luna, who generally doesn't get excited for things like this was excited as she was happy to see her sister so happy.

Rarity suddenly realized something. She realized that after their marriage that Twilight will probably be moving back to Canterlot and her face went from being joyous to sad. Celestia asked, "Rarity, what is wrong? Why the long face?"

Rarity began to tear up and replied, "I am so happy for you but I guess I feel bad for me because I know Twilight will be returning to Canterlot."

Celestia said, "Well that might not be the case."

Luna gasped, "What? What dost thou mean by that big sister?"

Celestia replied, "This is something that you, Twilight and myself will discuss in private."

After about another hour of talking and planning things more in detail Celestia yawned, "It is getting late and I think we all need to hit the hay."

Luna added, "And I need to go out on my patrol."

Applejack asked, "So where all of us going to be sleeping tonight?"

Celestia replied, "Well you will all be staying in the VIP bedrooms except for Twilight, who will be staying in with me."

The two princesses blushed when Twilight's friends started telling them to not get too 'busy.' After that they headed to bed while Luna headed out to the Everfree Forest. While Twilight and Celestia headed to her room for their first night together of being engaged, Twilight's friends headed to the VIP bedroom. As hard as they tried, they simply could not get to sleep because so many thoughts were running through their minds. While some were ecstatic for Twilight, others were very concerned as they thought all this was moving much too quickly.
