A Plance Wedding To Remember
Lance fidgeted with his bow tie as he looked himself over in the mirror one last time. His custom made wedding tux by Rarity looking spiff and spammy, and nearly perfect.
Nearly, as Cherry had insisted the flower in his right corner pocket be a cherry rose instead of the lilies Rarity had insisted on. While he sided with his sister in the end, how he had survived Rarity afterwards was a mystery he’d be happy to suppress. It had nearly been as crazy as making it too today.
Nearly.
To think that Lance would soon be marrying the love of his life was something he’d had never dreamed of just a few years ago. Back when everything was wrong and when he wasn’t even sure he or his sister would see the next day. It was almost something he'd not wanted to do all together. However, he could never say no to his lover. To think when they first meet, how little they have gotten along. It was sure a surprise when they had declared their love for him. While Lance had not said he felt the same way that day, leaving them in a state of dread, he soon came to realize how much they meant to him. And as such, PLance was born.
Their couple name was probably the biggest surprise to Lance. Named by those pink pegusi sisters Cherry and the CMC had met on their field trip to Cloudsdale. One when he and his lover chaperoned the classes. An exhibit on ancient hippogriff culture that had more than one school had gone to that day. When the classes had joined together for lunch as Lance sat next to his sister's new friend. When the subject of his special somepony has been brought up, upon mentioning their name, the pair had gone on to try and give them a ship name. As the kids were now calling it. After a few trial and errors that had Lance red in the face while his love laughed in amusement, the name of Plance had been created.
And while he tried to shrug it off and act embarrassed, it had actually turned into one his founder's memories. Although he was nervous about how serious some of the town folks had taken to it. So much so, that when the wedding was announced and the location picked, they remained the chapel, The First Church of PLance. Which turned out not to help with Lances nerves as the big day came.
The door creaked open, Princess Twilight walked in.
“Hey, Lance!” Twilight smiled. Her wings spread out as her beautiful pink and purple dress hung on her body. “We’re ready to begin.”
Lance smiled weakly. “That’s good.”
“Don’t worry.” Twilight assured. “I’ve just taken care of Gummy and Derpys pet fish, Guppy.”

Somewhere In the reception hall.
A toothless alligator stared at the brown goldfish. The teenage goldfish, gazed back at the baby alligator. The two of them of them locked in a battle of wits.
“If time is an illusion, does that make space a maroge?”
A pair of bubbles leaked out of the fish's mouth.
“If strawberries aren't made of straw, then why are they called strawberries?”
Gummy blinked. “Should we not think of money and debt as more than a pony invented number? Or are we to leave it on the ground when a bag of chips cost more?”
“If the world is to end, will it be because science will go as far as it can, or because there is no more toilet paper in the world?”
“If one could take the water in the ocean and freeze it at the poles, should one not also think of the loss of sea habitation?”
“And what will become of those who’s only life purpose is to worship that of the potato?”
Both blinked and licked their eyes.

“Eh, I think.” Twilight rubbed at her chin. “But not important right now!” She walked up to Lance and placed a hoof in his shoulder. “Nervous?”
“Maybe a little.” He admitted, looking down at his collar buttons. “It’s just, what if I’m not good enough? What if this is a big mistake? I mean, they’re so perfect, and I’m just… What if-“
Twilight raised a hoof to his chest. “You will. You two are perfect for each other.”
Lance smiled. “Alright, princess, I’m ready.”
Twilight nodded. “Right this way then.”
(Discription of the wedding hall, cameos of quirky, party, rina nevel, Johnny, muse script, peacock and sour, the one Aj (me) Writting the story as it happens)
The hall was covered with (type of flowers) every pony stood in bait and breath, muttering to themselves, until the organ started to pay.
Everyone turned to the door, where Cherry and the Cake foals, in the most adorable little outfit, began. Pumpkin and Pound lead the way, waving their baskets of petals onto the floor, with Cherry right behind them, proudly carrying the rings. Right behind them, a bright red Lance started to walk down the hallway with Twilight (a better pony work for this, nevel?), where all his friends smiled at him.
Applejack tipping her hat, Rarity beaming, as Rainbow Dash tried to act like she wasn’t crying.
Further down, Quirky, Party and Rina danced with glee. Nevel looks indifferent, but proud. The One AJ feverishly wrote everything down that was happening as it unfolded
Lance then looked towards the alter, where Cherry’s was beaming. Behind her, Pete stood up, looking spiffy and well shaven. He smiled at Lance, then stepped aside so Lance could see his bride, Pinkie Pie. The pink earth pony in here wedding dress, standing under the banner reading, Congratulations Lance & Pinkie!
The wedding went off without a hitch. Twilight performed the ceremony flawlessly, even with an over-eager cherry nearly dropping the emerald encrusted ring. Bounded forever upon Pinkie’s and Lance’s I-do’s, everybody either cried or loudly cheered when they kissed for the first time as husband and wife. The doctor’s flameless fireworks lighting up the hall as Quirky Craft, glancing at a calendar, seemed to realized what was going on. Her wings flared out, and she gave chased to Nevel and the other AJ pony. The three of them running out of the hall and into the streets of Ponyville. Nevel insisting it was the blue ponies idea and that this wasn't his fimfiction account, while the one AJ kept pointing out through breaths that this wouldn’t have happened if not for Nevel. Party Blossom just watched and shook her head.
The reception was one that would not be forgotten for a long time. With that at first being when the CMC blew up the wedding cake, only for their thunder to be taken away when one Peacock got stuck in the vents, to the face hoofing Musescripts dismay. So they had cookies instead. (It’s a real thing, feel free to look it up 🍪)
Soon after, everypony started to have fun and we’re dancing. Twilight Sparkle was tackled to the ground by an on-sight medic who though her dancing was a seizer, while Gummy and Bubbles went on to discover a flaw in the theory of relativity that stated light wasn’t the fastest thing in the universe. Pinkie and Lance smiled at all of their friends, as Scribbler chased Xena to pound him into oblivion after he... Well, it was a lovely wedding.
When it was over, smiling head to toe, Pinkie and Lance boarded their wedding carriage , pulled by Pete, to adventure of their Honeymoon. When they tossed their own respective bouquets, it was Rarity and Twilight, not Applejack, who caught them...
