A different sibling's wedding

The element bearers were enjoying a lovely day on a picnic, chatting over what they've been up to and the like.

"What a lovely summer day, wouldn't you agree girls?" Rarity asked her friends.

"Yup! Nothing like chillin on a bright sunny afternoon to enjoy to relax our hooves!" Pinkie stated while resting on the grass.

"I just wonder what Twilight's up to, she isn't normally absent for our picnic get togethers." Fluttershy pondered.

"Perhaps she is busy getting something for her to properly enjoy our get together, to feel more comfortable staying outdoors for so long." Applejack speculated.

"Well whatever it is can't she get it done faster?" Rainbow Dash whined, until they all heard the clopping of hoof steps approaching them quickly.

"Girls! Girls! I have very special news for all of you!" Twilight exclaimed rushing over to her friends, with the biggest smile they've ever seen her wore.

"Ooooooo! What it is?!" Pinkie asked, so happy to see her friend so happy.

"It's the most wonderful, most incredible, most special day of my life! I've never been so happy!"

"Well? What is it?! Tell us!" RD complained, not in the mood for waiting any longer.

"I'm getting married!" Twilight revealed, earning several gasps from her friends.

"To whom? You never once told us about your love life." Rarity asked her purple fellow unicorn.

"Well, I have been spending some time in Canterlot recently."

"Oh, of course! How could we forget? Twilight takes trips back to Canterlot to spend time with old friends and family." AJ just remembered.

"So? That still doesn't excuse the fact that she's been secretive of dating anypony. And besides, just who are you getting married to anyway?" RD questioned.

"Well, only the most amazing, most beautiful, most caring, most kind pony ever! Princess Cadance!" Twilight fawned, earning several blinks from her friends.......

"Umm, who?" RD asked Twilight to repeat.

"Celestia's niece?" Twilight reminded, making her friends even more confused.

"Celestia has a niece?" Applejack was confused...

"Well I suppose not everypony knows about Celestia's relatives, besides her sister of course. Regardless, I've known Cadance for a very long time. She actually used to foalsit for me when I was a filly."

"Umm, what?..." RD was a bit disturbed by this revelation.

"Well, I'm a legal adult mare now aren't I?"

"Well, yes. But I think what RD meant was that based on how long you've known her, and how old you were, if it's completely morally acceptable." AJ specified.

"Well, we didn't have that kind of feelings for each other back then, that kind of emotional spark didn't happen until we got older... She's... she's just a very beautiful, and very kind pony I just... I just can't help myself! I feel like I'm gonna....." Twilight promptly fainted.

"Ooh, boy..." RD face hoofed.

"Well, I suppose if what you say is true, and you are at a legal age to see who you like, and you both love each other very much, then I guess it's ok." Fluttershy accepted Twilight's decision.

"Oh that reminds me! You will all be playing a part at our wedding! Princess Celestia asked me to give you all this pamphlet." Twilight lifted a letter with her magic.

Rarity took it with her magic, and begun to open and read from it.

"'To Twilight's friends, I am sure you are all excited as I am for the upcoming wedding in Canterlot. I will be presiding over the ceremony, but would very much like you all to help with the preparations for this wonderful occasion. Fluttershy, you will provide the music with your songbird choir, Pinkie Pie, you will host the reception, Applejack, you will be in charge of the catering for the reception, Rainbow Dash will perform a sonic rainboom when the bride and groom finish their I do's, and Rarity will design the dresses for the brides and bridesmaids...' ME?! Designing the dresses... for a Canterlot wed-edding ahh..." Rarity fell unconscious.

"Ok, but getting to perform a SONIC RAINBOOM at a wedding?! Best, wedding, EVER!" RD's mood was lifted as she pumped her hoof into the air.

"Well all I have to say is congratulations Twilight, you've really come a long way..." AJ cried, as she hugged her friend tightly.

"Calm down AJ, I'll still have time for all of you. It's not like it's the end of the world."

"I know, I'm just really proud of you right now. Come on, let's not waste any more time. We got to prepare your special day, right girls?" AJ asked her friends, as they all nodded in agreement.

"Well, what are we waiting for?! To Canterlot ladies!" Pinkie exclaimed, as they all headed for the train to prepare their friend's happiest day.
