Prologue: The Wedding

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

It was one of the most important days of my life. Today I was going to marry Fluttershy. I remember when I proposed to her.

We were at the Grand Galloping Galla, and I spent months working at my shop to save for a engagement ring and pretty much the whole wedding. I bribed the band to play a romantic song and I looked at my future fiance. I tried to get on one knee, but I fell over. When I got up I said. "Screw it! Fluttershy I tried to be romantic, but I am too much of a cluts." I reached into the pocket of my tux and pulled out a little black box. "Fluttershy." I opened it to reveal a gold ring with a pink diamond that was carved into a butterfly to match her cutie-mark. "Will you merry me?" She didn't say anything. Her eyes filled with tears as she wrapped her hooves around my neck.

"Yes! I will merry you!" She cried. The crowd of ponies that surounded us "awed" and whatched as we embraced each other.

Now here I am. In a tux, having ponies have all their eyes on me as they waited for the bride to come down the isle, and I am sweating bullets. I am not used to being the center of attention. My nervesness melted away as the music started and their eyes moved to the back of the room. We decided to have the wedding at Twilights castle. I looked to see my lovely bride in a beautiful white gone made by Rairity. The dress looked great, but my attention was focused on her face. Her hair was wrapped up in a bun with a strand hanging on the side of her face, the bun had a ring of flowers around it, and she had light pink lip stick on. Her father walked her down the isle and took a seat next to her mother and brother. She walked into the alter and stod on the opposit side of me. We looked into each others eyes.

"Dearly beloved." Twilight began. She offered to marry us. Fluttershy had the cms as the flower girls, the rest of her friends as brides maids, and since I had no other choice, Discord was the best man. "We are gathered here today to put these two lovers into holly matrimony." She looked at Fluttershy. "Do you Fluttershy, promise to be with Jesse in sickness and in heath, in rich and poor, and to love him for as long as you both may live?"

"I do." Fluttershy said with misty eyes.

"And do you Jesse." Twilight looked in my direction. "Promise to care for Fluttershy, to keep her happy, and comfort her in need for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." I said looking at Fluttershy who has tears rolling down her cheeks. Spike walked up with the rings. We had them suspended on necklaces. Our ring were plain gold, but Fluttershy's necklace also had her engagement ring on it. We put them on each others necks

"You may now kiss the bride." Twilight said.

We both looked at each other and slowly eased in for a kiss. We parted our heads to the side and our lips met. The crowd erupted into cheers, but my mind was somewhere else as I locked lips. When we parted I didn't know what to say except.

"I love you." Her eyes were now crying a river and I wiped them away with my hoof.

"I love you too..."


Fluttershy was preparing to throw the bokay. The single mares were swarming behind her. As the flowers were in mid air, Fluttershy's brother Zepher Breez flew by and caught it and landed next to Rainbow Dash.

"Went to get married sweet thing?" Rainbow replyed by punching him in the nose.

"Your brother needs to get a marefriend... Just not her." I said as I shook my head.

"That's out Zepher. Always trying to be a ladies stallion, but doesn't know the first thing about it." Fluttershy's dad joked.

"It is great to welcome you to the family Jesse." Her mother said with a smile.

"Oh my yes. Fluttershy had said so much about you." He said.

"Thank you for welcoming me to your family. I promise to keep your daughter happy." I told them.

"We trust you will." Her mother said. Fluttershy walked over to is with a loving smile. When she reached us, she got me with a barrage of kisses.

"This is the happiest day of my life." She began nuzzling me.

"Mine too." I nuzzled her cheek. "I'm glad that you said yes."

"And I'm glad you asked." She replyed.

"Aww. They are just like us when we were first married." Mrs. Shy said and her husband nodded in agreement.


The after party went quite well. Except when Pinkie Pie thought it would be a good idea to start a food fight with the wedding cake. Me and Fluttershy both hid under a table as we waited for the carnage to stop. Neither of us wanted out clothes to be ruined. After all the craziness, we began to walk to a chariot as the guest through rice at us. The chariot was being pulled by some royal guards. Twilight said they will take is any where we want.

"Where do you want to go dear?" I asked her As we got seated.

"How about the Rainbow Falls? It is very romantic, especially at sunset." She coued.

"Rainbow Falls it is." I told the guards where we wanted to go, and they began to assend in the sky. Half way there, Fluttershy layed her head on my shoulder. It was getting late and I guess she is tired.

"I can't wait till we get there." She said with a yawn. "I always dreamed about my wedding day."

"Was it what you dreamed of?" I asked.

"Even better." She said and kissed my cheek.

After a little while later, we made it to our destination. It Was too dark to really see anything, but I could heard what I think is sloshing water. We walked around till we found a inn. We paid for a room, and made our way to our room. We both tucked ourselves into the single bed. Fluttershy scooted over and faced in my direction. She snuggled into my chest.

"Jesse?" She looked up into my eyes.

"Yes Fluttershy?" I awnsered.

"I know this will seem a little fast, but have you ever thought of having foals?" She asked. I Was surprised by her question. I thought for a minute.

"I suppose one day I will, but I don't really know anything about parenting. You have a little experience with your animals though. I think it would work out." I said as a sly grin appeared on my wifes face.

"That's all I needed to hear." She moved the cover over is and we began to make out.
