Chapter 15: A Fitting and An Announcement

Like wildfire, the news of Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia's engagement spread throughout not just Equestria, but the whole world. People were sending them letters, ice sculptures, and flowers of congratulations and many citizens went and shook Twilight's hand and gave a her a pat on the back and celebrated with her by holding a party for her, hosted by Pinkie Pie of course. Yes, things were looking good for Twilight and Celestia. However, Twilight and Celestia knew that they had to tell their families they are engaged. So, Twilight sent a letter to her parents to come down to Ponyville soon and Celestia went to the Afterlife to tell her parents the same thing. After contacting them, both of their parents were thrilled to see them and would be coming to Ponyville the next week. Celestia and Twilight breathed a sigh of relief and Twilight went to work getting her castle ready for her parents and soon-to-be in-laws.

One Week Later

Twilight was patiently pacing around in the front corridor with Celestia twiddling her fingers, both worried of what both of their parents would think of them getting married. Suddenly, the sound of the door bell rang throughout the castle. Twilight dusted of herself and opened the doors to find her's and Celestia's parents standing outside. Twilight then hugged her parents and Celestia did the same as they both ushered them in to the living room. "I'm so glad you guys could come here." Twilight said gleefully. Twilight Velvet then said, "Of course Twilight, we wouldn't pass up a visit to see you in Ponyville. So, how come you wanted me, your father, and her majesty's parents down here?" Twilight and Celestia both blushed and Twilight said, "Well....me and Celestia have to tell you both something....something very big." the parents all sat there in anticipation when Twilight suddenly said, "You see....me and Celestia....are getting married!"

Suddenly, Twilight and Celestia's parents expressions turned from wonder to shock then to excitement in just seconds of each other. Twilight Velvet and Queen Lumina both got up and hugged there daughters and Twilight Velvet tearfully said, "OH! MY BABY GIRL IS GETTING MARRIED!" Twilight, while gasping for air, replied, "Thanks Mom...but can you...not hug me so tight!" Twilight Velvet then let go of Twilight, who was currently gasping for breath, and said, "I'm sorry Twilight, but I'm just so happy for you!" Twilight smiled lightly and said, "I know Mom." Lumina then said, "I knew you and my daughter were going to get hitched sooner or later." King Galaxor then said, "I agree, but to be honest, me and your mother knew about yours and Twilight's engagement Celestia." Celestia didn't answer because she already knew the answer to how her parents knew about the engagement. Night Light then spoke up and said, "So....when is the wedding exactly?" Twilight and Celestia both looked at each other and Twilight said, "Well....me and Celestia have been thinking around the Spring...but then she suggested that we should get married on Hearts and Hooves Day. You know...cause it kind of makes sense.... a bit." Both of their parents looked at the sun princess and young Magi and then Twilight Velvet said, "Actually, that does make some sense. Being it is the day of sharing love and all." The others all agreed with her and Twilight said, "Well then, Hearts and Hooves Day it is!" Both families then got together in a group hug knowing in a few months, their families would be one.

A Couple of Weeks Later

After announcing the wedding date to citizens of Equestria, the whole country began to prepare for the wedding of their beloved ruler. As for Twilight and Celestia, they had the wedding planing to do. Once they wrote out the guest list and sent invitations (even though the whole country was practically already invited,) they invited the Mane Five to Twilight's castle to discuss there roles in the wedding. Like with Cadence and Shining Armor's wedding, Celestia wanted the Mane Five to help with the wedding planing. "Applejack, we want you to do the catering for the wedding." Twilight said to the apple farmer. Applejack then said, "Well O'Course Twi! I'll make sure ya'll have some of the best food Sweet Apple Acres can bring!" Twilight beamed and turned to Pinkie Pie and said, "Of course I hope me and Celly can count on you to plan the reception Pinkie." Pinkie Pie then jumped up and down and shouted, "You bet Twilight!"

Twilight then turned to Fluttershy and said, "Fluttershy, we want you to have your bird choir do the wedding march." Fluttershy blushed and said, "My goodness, of course guys!" Twilight then looked at Rainbow Dash, who gave a bored expression, until Twilight said, "Well Rainbow, I guess you don't want to perform a sonic rainboom when me and Celestia finish exchanging our vows and 'I Do's." Rainbow then sat back up and said, "OH! Of course I do! You can count on me Twilight." Twilight then turned to Rarity, only to noticed that she had a very excited look on her face, but she still said, "And of course, I know you will..." but before Twilight could finish, Rarity jumped up and went right next to Twilight and said, "Don't worry Twilight, yours and Celestia's wedding dresses will be the most elegant and extravagant in all of Equestria, no, THE WHOLE WORLD! Everyone will soon know the name, Rarity!" After Rarity finished, everyone looked at her awkwardly, which prompted her to chuckle nervously.

Everyone stood in silence until Twilight cleared her throat and said, "Well then, I guess that's all." until she remembered something and looked at Rarity and said, "Oh, Rarity, I almost forgot, I want to know when your available." Rarity knew that she was asking about Twilight's and Celestia's dress fittings but she still said, "Why do you wish to know darling?" Twilight then said, "Well...I was wondering if I could schedule my dress fitting after Celestia's....you know, cause we want our wedding dresses to be a surprise for each other." Rarity smiled and said, "Of course darling! I'll try to fit you and Princess Celestia's dress fittings at different times." Twilight then replied, "Thanks Rarity! Any who, I need to supervise and plan out how the ceremony goes, so I hope I can on you girls." Celestia then said, "I think they'll be able to Twilight." She then gave Twilight a kiss on the cheek, which made the Mane Five go "AWWW!" They then began to discuss about the wedding as Celestia and Twilight looked at each other warmly, thinking about their future.

Two Weeks Later

Things have been going smoothly with the wedding planing for Celestia and Twilight. After ordering the flowers for the bouquet and replying to all of the ASAPs from the invitations, Twilight was the first to receive a letter from Rarity concerning about the date for her wedding dress fitting, which Rarity wrote that Twilight show up the next day at 2:00 PM. Twilight then called Spike to tell him to write down the date and time to make sure she didn't forget it. Twilight then went to sleep and began thinking about what kind of wedding dress Rarity has made for her wedding day.

The Next Day

Twilight and her mother and the Mane Four, whom she invited, entered Carousel Boutique only for Rarity to walk up to them and guide them to the dressing room. Twilight then said, "Thanks for letting me do this Rarity, you know how much this means to me and Celestia." "Not at all darling. Now, your dress is behind the curtain all ready for you. Now, if you want me to do any modif..." Rarity tried to say until she noticed Twilight going behind the curtain. Rarity smiled and rolled her eyes sarcastically and they all sat and waited for Twilight to put on her wedding dress.

After a while, Twilight stepped out of the curtain, everyone gasped, including Rarity, as they all saw Twilight in her dress. Rarity then put a mirror up for Twilight and Twilight gasped at how she looked in her wedding dress. The dress was white, but with a mix of lavender and pink highlights with lavender roses in the veil, with the train having small white gems strung across in diamond shapes. Twilight began to tear up as she said, "Rarity...th-this dress is beautiful...oh, than you Rarity!" Rarity then said, "Well, you did want it at the exact modifications, luckily I had the right amount of gems for the train." Twilight, wiping off her tears, looked at the rest of her friends and her mother and said, "Well, what do you all think?" The rest of the Mane Four agreed that Twilight looked absolutely beautiful in her wedding dress, but Twilight Velvet stood up and walked up to her daughter and pulled out a large box. Twilight wondered what was in it when Twilight Velvet opened it and in it was a beautiful flower of white and sky blue. Twilight then noticed it was the same flower her mother wore in her hair on hers and her father's wedding day. Twilight Velvet, while trying to hold back tears, said, "I've been waiting for a long time for this day to come. Now, you get to wear this on your wedding day." Twilight, who was now back to crying, hugged her mother, who hugged back. The Mane Five all began to tear up until they all calmed down.

Twilight then turned to Rarity when Rarity said, "No need to pay me Twilight, it's on the house." Twilight then thanked Rarity, but just as they were about to leave, the doorbell rang and a voice could be heard saying, "Rarity! It's me, Princess Celestia. I here for my dress fitting." Suddenly, everyone started to panic, but Twilight remained calm and asked Rarity for a black clothes bag. After Rarity put Twilight's wedding dress in the bag, she ran up to the door and opened it, letting Celestia, Luna, and their parents in. Twilight and the others began to leave when Twilight bumped into Celestia. Twilight then said, "Oh, sorry Celly, didn't noticed you were in front of me." Celestia giggled and said, "It's fine Twilight, I'm guessing you just got your wedding dress fitting done." Twilight then noticed she was looking at the bag the dress was in. Twilight then said, "Sure did, and I'm guessing your having your dress fitting done." Celestia nodded and said, "Well, you have nice day dear." Twilight giggle and kissed her fiance on the cheek and said, "I will." Twilight and the others then left to head to Twilight's castle while Celestia continued to talk to Rarity about her wedding dress.

Later That Night

Twilight was getting ready for bed when Spike came into Twilight's bedroom holding a letter from Celestia. It said:

My Dearest Twilight,

While our little bump into each other was accidental, my dress fitting went phenomenal. As you know, I'm not going to tell you what my dress looks like, but all I can say is that your going to love it when I wear it on our wedding day. Any who, me and Luna have to go to an important meeting with a few delegates of Saddle Arabia.

Your love and future wife,

Princess Celestia

Twilight sat down on her bed and re-read the letter, thinking what Celestia's wedding dress was. Spike then came back into the room and said, "Hey Twilight, I got this list of things you need for the reception, mind if I send them to Pinkie?" Twilight then looked at Spike and said, "Go ahead Spike, I'm going to bed." Spike then said, "Alright Twilight, you have a nice night." Twilight replied, "You too Spike." As Spike closed the door and left the room, Twilight laid in the bed until she fell asleep, thinking about her wedding day and how...magical, as one might say, it will be.

To Be Continued....in Chapter 16....then fully continued in Chapter 17

Author's Note

AT LAST! DONE! Yep, you also read the the bolding correctly, the whole wedding stuff will be put on hold until Chapter 17 (I decided early on that I will have 17 be the wedding chapter.)

Now what will Chapter 16 be about? Well, remember at the end of Chapter 13 about Celestia teasing Luna about her having a crush on a new recruit night guard. That is not a one-off joke.

You see, I wanted Luna to have a little romance for a while now, heck since I had this story going through my head since I started shipping Twilestia.

So yea, the next chapter will be about Twilight and Celestia getting Luna together with this new guard. Who is he....ya'll have to find out...next time on Dragonb...uhhh...I mean, Love is Eternal: A Twilestia Story.

Like before, don't forget to rate and comment! I STILL accept constructive criticism.
