A different sibling's wedding

The captain of the royal guard kept his close eye on the catering preparation, as he levitated a checklist checking everything off.

"Cake, check. Ice sculpture, check. Best darn bite-size apple fritter I ever tasted?" AJ ate the apple to make sure.

"Check!" She conformed, as she swallowed it whole.

"I just can't believe Twilight is getting married! It feels like just yesterday I was helping her with her studies for one of her friendship reports."

"Spike, that WAS yesterday." Shining Armor assured.

"I know! Where did the years go by?" Spike asked, as Shining merely let out a sigh, until they were suddenly interrupted by the doors opening.

"Hiya princess!"

"Please, call me Princess Mi Amore Cadenza."

Shining Armor raised an eyebrow at her request...

"Hiya Princess Mi Amore Cadenza! You've come to check out what's on the menu for your big day?"

"I have."

The bride made her way to the fritters as the captain watched her closely...

"Mmm, delicious. I love, love, love them!"

"Aww shucks, why don't you take a few to go?"

Hesitantly, she took the bag.

"I know how you brides can be. So busy, you forget to get a little somethin' in your belly."

However, she stopped when she reached the door.

Shining stared for a while, until she threw the bag in the trash.

Shining promptly gasped, before she shut the door with her magic behind her.

"Did you see what she just-?" Shining saw that Applejack was distracted with the catering, so he left in a huff to oversee the dresses.

Later...

"I mean, you should've seen the way she acted back there!"

"Shining Armor, darling, it's Princess Cadance's wedding day, I'm sure she's just stressed out because of all the extra work."

"Yes but that doesn't excuse her rude behavior! I don't know when she changed, but she changed! 'Please, call me Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.'"

"Did I hear someone say my name?"

"Your highness! Let me just start by saying what an honor it is to play a role in such a momentous occasion... Ah hah ha..."

"Uh huh, is my- I mean, our dresses ready?"

"Oh, well, I've been working on it ever since I was given the assignment, and I think you'll be pleased with the results."

"I was hoping for something with more beading and a longer train."

"Oh, yes, of course."

"And those should be a different color."

"I think they're lovely!"

"Me too!"

"I love them!"

The soon-to-be wife of Twilight Sparkle gave the bridesmaids a stern glare, as they recoiled in shame.

"Make them a different color." She then left without another word...

"Gee, maybe they should call her 'Princess Demandy pants.'" Shining Armor remarked, noticing Rarity couldn't respond, he left as well.

Later...

"Ok, we've been over the games," Pinkie went over the activities in the blink of an eye.

"The dances," She danced unlike any other pony who danced before.

"Oh! I think this reception is gonna be perfect! Don't you?"

"Perfect!.. IF we were celebrating a six year old's birthday party."

"GASP, thank you!"

Shining Armor witnessed the whole thing as he hid behind a pillar watching Twilight's supposed special somepony leave in a huff.

Later...

Shining Armor made it to a table where six ponies plus one dragon sat together.

"Hey! You're Twily's friends right? Mind if I joined you?" The captain asked politely.

"Why not at all, please have a seat." Rarity insisted.

"Bet I can guess what you're all thinking. Cadance is the absolute, WORST bride to be, EVER."

Twilight's friends all stared at Shining Armor with doubtful stares...

"Well, a LOT is going on at the moment. I'm sure that any rude behavior is the result of nerves." Rarity excused.

"But she was just so demanding!"

"Why it's her wedding day, why wouldn't she expect the very best?"

"Applejack is it? Did you know that after Cadance told you how much she 'loved, loved, loved' your fritters she threw them in the TRASH?"

"Ahh, she was probably just sparing my feelings."

"No, she was being fake, and totally insincere!"

"Well, she DID raise her voice when one of my birds sung for the choir."

"See? Rude!"

"But she WAS singing a teeny bit off key..."

"Not to be rude Captain, but don't you think you're being just a teeny bit possessive of your younger sister?"

"I am not being possessive, I just don't feel comfortable if my sister is making a bad decision and marrying somepony who is not worth marrying too!" Shining Armor stated, as he left in a huff...

Leaving his sister's friends terribly concerned...
