I can change
the wedding
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThis was it, the big day. Sombra was struck hard with nervousness. His throat felt dry as the maid was tightening his bow and putting his red cape on. This, of course, didn't stop him from noticing the nervous glances at his horn. It was still curved and red with a sharp point. It was the only thing left from his evil past, and he wondered why it hadn't gone back to normal yet. He had proven himself after all. Sombra pondered this for a moment, enjoying the distraction from his nervousness when Cadence walked in. "Hello Sombra, how are you doing?" Cadence asked as she straitened the bow and cape.
"Nervous," he admitted hanging his head and letting out a long sigh. "What if Luna decides at the last moment that she doesn't want to marry me? What if she looks at my horn and remembers the horrible things I did? What if-"
Cadence cut him off, "what if your body becomes a toaster pastry and you start to fart rainbows and fly?" Honestly Sombra, quit worrying. I'm going to go check on Luna."
"May I come to?"
"No, it's bad luck to see your bride before the wedding. You will have to wait." Sombra sighed as he watched Cadence leave.
Luna was getting her dress fitted when Cadence walked in. "Hello Cadence," she said with a beaming smile as the maids smoothed her gown down. It was the same color as her crystal shoes and sparkled like the stars. It had a silver trim, despite Celestia's attempts to make the trim gold. Luna laughed as she remembered Celestia's explanation. 'But lulu, don't royals wear gold on their wedding dresses? It's tradition.' After this, as if on Que, Celestia walked in.
"Hello Lulu," she glanced at the dress's trim for what seemed like the thousandth time. "I would have felt a lot better if you used gold trim and followed tradition."
"You know I never looked good in gold, Tia," Luna said. "The last place i need it is my own wedding dress," Luna said as one of the maids straitened the short train. Another levitated some silver shoes over to Luna. They didn't want her wearing her everyday garments and had some silver ones made that matched the dress. The silver garments had stars for the detail that were the same color as her usual crystal shoes.
"I have to agree with Auntie Luna, Aunt Celestia. She is the princess of the night after all. Gold is more of a day thing, i think silver was a great call."
"I suppose your right. Come along Cadence, we should leave Luna to finish getting ready. I think Shining armor might need our help with the last of the preparations." Celestia said as she walked out of Luna's room closely followed by Cadence.
Luna had just finished raising the moon and stars and was currently waiting behind the double doors for the wedding to start. Celestia was in a simple yet elegant pink gown. She was Luna's maid of honor. Sombra had asked Discord to be his best...... draconaques? Luna didn't exactly know what to think about that but she never really minded Discord. Even before he was reformed he was really just a glorified trouble maker in her mind. It didn't excuse his actions but he never really did anything particularly evil. Oh well. now no one had to worry about him even causing trouble....... much.
Luna heard the music begin to play, which signified the start of the wedding. Luna let her thoughts on discord fall away as she followed Celestia down the isle. The music stopped playing when Luna reached the pedestal and faced Sombra.
"We gather here today........ " the priest continued to say the vows.
"Do you, Sombra Shadesparrow, take Princess Luna of the Night Sky, as your Lawfully wedded wife."
"I do," Sombra replied.
"And do you, Princess Luna, take Sombra Shadesparrow as you lawfully wedded husband."
Luna looked Sombra deep in the eye for a moment before answering, "I do."
"Then you may now kiss the bride."
Sombra levitated the veil out of Luna's face and leaned forward. Luna closed the distance and their lips met in the kiss that would forever bind them to each other, and everything was perfect.
A flashing light bound Sombra's horn and everyone gasped as the light faded. Sombra and Luna broke the kiss and glanced at Sombra's horn as the last of the light dissipated into oblivion to leave a normal grey horn in it's wake. The horn was straight now and the red that was once present was gone. Sombra and Luna smiled as Sombra voiced what they both thought. "I am finally, truly, free." The couple began kissing again in each others' embrace.
The after party was lively and fun. Everyone was watching Luna and Sombra dance around. It was tradition to let husband and his bride have the first dance. Celestia and Discord watched happily as the two enjoyed their dance. "I do believe this is the beginning of a lovely family," Discord said pretending to wipe a tear from his eye.
Celestia laughed, she was enjoying Discord's company, "Perhaps. If that does happen i can assure you, they will have their hands full."
Discord turned his head in Celestia's direction. "I love children, their so much fun."
Celestia returned Discord's gaze with surprise, "I never knew that." Discord continued to look into Celestia's eyes.
"I do, I love watching them play around without a care in the world." Celestia felt her heart flutter, she wondered why until realization struck. Oh sweet, sunlit Equestria. I'm in LOVE with Discord!
