This chapter got really repetitive, really fast.
Sorry for slowing down on chapters, I've gotten really sick over the past week.
The Ceremony
Spike and Celestia watched from beneath the Crystal heart as Twilight and Ember took their seats and music chimed throughout the area. Celestia raised her hand and called out for order, the tables all fell to silence and with a snap all of the chair's and their occupants were levitated into the air, all of them angling themselves so every creature in attendance had a good view of Spike and Celestia.
"Can everyone see?" Celestia called in a Magically magnified voice "if you can't that either mean you're in the wrong chair or Discord is an idiot." Celestia waited and after no grievances where filled, she continued. "Dear Creatures from Equestria and beyond, we gather here today to bond this dragon to not one, but four mares in holy matrimony!" Music began playing again "The first of these mares I shall now introduce, please sit in silent respect as I Welcome Berry Punch to Stand beneath the Heart." The music intensified as Berry Punch put her hoof on the path and became visible, a Bouquet of Tulips materialized in her hands as she walked down to Spike. A Smile on her face as she made her way to Spike, her smile grew larger as she walked up the staircase before she made it to her spot and smiled at Spike who smiled happily at her before Celestia continued.
"Once again please sit in silent respect as I Welcome Carrot top to Stand beneath the Heart." Carrot top stepped onto the path and waved at her friend's with one hand as a Bouquet of Hydrangeas appeared in her other hand, her friends waved back at her in respectful silence. Carrot top waved at everypony who waved at her as she made her way up the stairs and took her place next to Berry. Carrot top blew Spike a kiss, who blew one back before Celestia continued.
"Once again please sit in silent respect as I Welcome Cheerliee to Stand beneath the Heart." Cheerliee took her time walking down the aisle as he students all waved and tried to get her attention as she walked below them, Cheerliee happily smiled and waved at each and every one of them with her free hand, a Bouquet of Pink Lily's now in the other, she continued waving as she walked up the steps and only stopped as she took her place across from Carrot top, Spike smiled at her and she smiled back before Celestia finished the opening
"And one last time, Please sit in silent respect as I Welcome the last of the Brides, Red Heart." Red Heart walked down the aisle without waving, a bouquet of white Roses appearing in her hands as she walked silently, she made her way up the steps and took her place between Celestia and Cheerliee, Red Heart gave Spike a smile as Celestia spoke "I thank each and every one of you for attending today." She said happily as she motioned around at the varied audience "I'm sure you all know why we've gathered here today, to bond together the 5 around me in love and holy matrimony." Celestia motioned to the group surrounding her before holding up her hand to the Crystal Heart. "We shall now begin the ceremony." Spike almost jumped back when the heart shined down on him, the light slightly blinding him before it dimmed down a little, Spike blinked and rubbed the spots in his eye's, and noted from how they where acting that the same thing had happened to his 4 wives, it took a solid moment for Spike to realize he and his wives had all been crystallized. Spike looked down at himself as his wives did the same before they began looking at each other.
"Well, I feel weird." Spike decided "Anypony else feel weird?" He asked as he looked at his wives before they could respond Celestia continued her speech.
"It is time for the vows, Spike please lead us off." Spike blinked in silence.
"Oh fuck the vows!" Spike realized as he put his hand in his pocket and pulled the paper out of it, he cleared his throat and began
"I Promis to encourage and inspire all of you in Joy, Laughter, and all of your other delights, be it helping one of you with your work, helping one of you when you are sick or just helping any of you enjoy your day. I promise to be there when you need me, even in times of great sorrow and distress and during the hardships I will always put your needs before my own, and I promise to love all of you and never leave any of your sides." Spike took a deep breath and ended it "I Love each and every one of you, and will love you till the end of my days." Spike folded his paper up and put it back in his pocket. "I feel stupid" He decided as he stood in between his wives, Celestia motioned to Berry nodded and the 4 mares all pulled out a small scrape of paper each.
"We love you." They said in unison "And we know you love us." Berry took a deep breath and started reading.
"I Promise that no matter how Drunk I get, no matter how wasted I get, and no matter how much I Drink..." Berry nodded and Carrot top began talking.
"I Promis no matter how busy I get, no matter how much work need's to be done, and no matter how far I travel to sell my good..." Carrot top nodded and Cheerliee took over.
"I Promis no matter how much time I Spend at the school teaching young minds, no matter how many papers I grade, and no matter how far I travel to teach young minds..." Cheerliee nodded and Red Heart read her piece.
"I Promis no matter how long I spend tending to the sick, tending to the injured, and Treating all wounds big, small, serious or minor..." The Mares all finished in unison
" That we will now and forever Love and cherish you, And we Promis that our love will last past the end of our time and will follow you until you join us in the eternal beyond." The Mares smiled at Spike as he wiped his eye.
"I didn't know you were all going to team up on me like that." he sniffed "It was beautiful."
"Spike?" Celestia asked "Do you agree to take Berry Punch, Carrot top, Cheerliee, and Red Heart as your lawful wives, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
"I do," Spike replied immediately.
"Berry Punch, Carrot top, Cheerliee, and Red Heart?" Celestia asked, "DO you agree to take Spike as your lawful Husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
"I do," Berry said walking forward and kissing Spike, it lasted a moment before she pulled away and moved for Cheerliee, Carrot top had moved to the end of the line during Berries kiss and smiled
"I do," Cheerliee said as she kissed Spike before moving for Red Heart.
"I do." Red Heart said, as she kissed Spike and moved so Carrot top could end it, Carrot top swiped Spike off his feet and Smiled.
"You better believe I do." She said before Pulling Spike into her embrace, Celestia light her horn and a small sign saying, you may now cheer, appeared above her, cheer's filled the area as Spike was put down, Spike smiled then Picked Carrot top up and placed her on his rightsholder.
"Oh, I like this." She said as she as Spike moved to Red hear and with a little help from Celestia put her on his other shoulder. Spike held out his hand's and Cheerliee sat in his right one while Berry took the left, the two mares put their hand's around his neck, and the other two placed their hands on his head as Spike turned and proceeded to walk with all four of them down to a Large Table with 5 chairs and 5 cakes that had been set up by Pinkie and Luna as the vow's had been said, Discord appeared at a table and in a snap all the chairs lowered back to their tables that where now fully catered. Spike set down Cheerliee and Berry and let Red Heart and Carrot top slid off his shoulders before they all took the seat with the corresponding cake they had asked for placed in front of it.
"And now! Let the Wedding Reception begin!" Celestia cheered as Spike and his wives raised their wine glassed and cheered with the crowd.
