A Falling Star in Ponyville

The sunrise slowly appeared on the horizon as Falling Star and Rarity slept by the fire. They were cuddled close under a single comforter, and they were resting peacefully. As soon as the first ray of light peeked into through the window, Falling Star woke up. His heart started pounding in his chest. Glancing down, he saw Rarity asleep next to him and he couldn't help but smile. Seeing her next to him made yesterday seem like a dream. But as he got up, he knew better than to think it was a dream. The evidence of it was on his face, the jagged scar from his battle with Rising Sun. Even though the scar would always remain, Falling Star had no regrets about what he had done. Rising Sun would bother them no more. He smiled and went into the kitchen to make breakfast for his beloved. He was happy to have Rarity back, safe and sound. Soon he heard the sound of Rarity waking up and trotted into the living room so she wouldn't worry.

Rarity woke up to find Star staring at her lovingly. She smiled at him, though her smile faltered a bit at the sight of the scar on his face. She kissed the jagged line and then she kissed his lips. "I love you, Star." she said drowsily, making him smile even wider. She looked outside at the sunrise and smiled. She was with her true love and they were happy together. Suddenly, she remembered something important....Today was their wedding day! "Oh dear, I Really must be going! The girls are probably waiting for me at the boutique and I would hate to keep them waiting long." Rarity said quickly. She started to rush out the door but was stopped by Falling Star. "Not before you have some breakfast." He said calmly, smiling at her sudden energy. She smiled back gratefully and went into the dining area to eat. The two of them chatted a bit while eating their food. After they finished, Star kissed Rarity and they went their seperate ways until the wedding.

Falling Star had to make sure the final preperations were just right. He wanted to make sure everything was perfect. After all, he wanted Rarity to be extra happy today. He smiled, knowing that as long as Rarity was with the other mares, she was safe from anything. He walked towards Fluttershys cottage to check up on everything, and was surprised to see that everything was indeed perfect. The other stallions had been busy in his absence, setting everything up in exactly the right place. Slishy had done well with the higher decorations. Big Mac, Caramel, and Doctor Whooves had set up the heavier things, like the natural benches and the gazebo. Everything was spectacular. Star stood in awe for a few more moments and then ran over and hugged his friends.
"What do you think?" Asked Slishy. "Everything is perfect, guys. Thank you so much for your hard work. I know it's been rough on all of you." "Anytime, Star. You know we would do anything to help you out." They all said. After a few laughs, a couple questions about his scar, and a few innuendoes about what goes on at night in his house, Star left to get ready for the wedding, smiling as he walked.

Rarity was nervous as she could be. She knew Star would be just as nervous but that only made her even more nervous. Her friends where ready and waiting for her to come out of the dressing room. When she did, the other mares gasped. Rarities wedding dress was absolutely amazing. Like everything Rarity made, the gown was simple yet it hinted at elegance. Rarity had made a true masterpiece for her wedding. She looked at the clock and was disheartend to see that there were still two hours till the wedding. She looked around at her friends and smiled. It was just like the time they helped plan the wedding for Shining Armor and Cadence, except she was the blushing bride to be. Soon, her parents arrived and started fussing over her. She really did feel happy about today.

*

The final two hours had seemed like an eternity to Falling Star. He was nervous. He Celetia and Luna had shown up to his house about thirty minutes after he had gotten ready and they were unusually giddy about the wedding. Obviously, Celestia had to leave as the time for the wedding drew closer, since she was the one preforming the ceremony. Luna and Star sat and talked for a while as they waited for the right time. "Luna..." Star said. "What troubles you, brother?" Luna asked. "Nothing but nerves, sister. I just wanted to ask if you would be my best mare." Star replied. "I would be honored to do it." Luna said.

The time finally arrived. The wedding would begin at any moment. All of Ponyville was abuzz with excitment, and nopony was willing to chance missing the ceremony. Lavish decorations, the smell of fresh Apple family cider, and an amazing day had drawn everypony to the wedding site. Falling Star was already at the altar with Celestia and Luna. As soon as everypony was seated, Octavia bagan playing. Everpony watched as Twilight, Pinkie, Dash, Fluttershy, and AJ came down the aisle to stand by the gazebo. Then, the tune changed to the traditional wedding march and everypony stood and turned towards the entrance to the aisle. The cutie mark crusaders came through the entrance and started up the aisle with their flower baskets and behind them came Rarity.

*

Seeing Rarity walk slowly down the aisle towards him made Star smile brightly. He felt tears coming to his eyes, but he didn't care about that. His mind only registered his happiness as Rarity walked towards him. He was as happy as he could be at the moment.

*

The sight of all the gathered ponies made Rarity feel a little self concious. But then, she saw her Falling Star. He stood proudly at the altar, waiting for her. It took all her willpower to stop herself from running up the aisle as fast as she could. She slowly walked up the aisle and took her place at the altar, still looking at Star. Nothing could hurt her now. She was happy to be with Falling Star on this day. She couldn't help noticing the tears in his eyes as he looked at her with a loving smile on his face. Tears came to her eyes as well, even though she tried to hide them.

*

"We are gathered here today to witness the Union of Prince Falling Star and Rarity. The power of their love is undeniable, their commitment infallible, and their bond unwavering. These two are making the biggest commitment of all, giving their whole hearts to each other forever more. The bond they share is powerful, indeed. The bond of marriage is the greatest bond of all, and the two ponies here are willing to take that bond upon themselves forever........." Celestia said as everypony took their seats again.

*

The ceremony went quickly, though neither Falling Star or Rarity paid much attention to anything other than each other. Soon, Celestia was asking, "Falling Star, do you take Rarity to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? Through the good times and the bad? To honor and to love? To protect and comfort? For as long as you both shall live?"
The crowd looked at Falling Star as he said, "I do."
"Rarity, do you take Falling Star to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? Throught the good times and the bad? To honor and to love? To protect and comfort? For as long as you both shall live?"
The crowd turned it's attention to Rarity as she replied "I do."
"Then, as is my right as princess of Equestria, I now pronounce you Stallion and Mare! You may kiss the bride."

*

Star looked at Rarity and kissed her on the lips, just as the sun was setting. They held the kiss for a long moment as everypony stood and stomped and cheered. As they were kissing, Rainbow Dash did her trick, to the amazement of everypony. "Citizens of Ponyville, I give you Prince Falling Star and Princess Rarity." Celestia declared, placing a crown on Rarities head as she said this. Then, it was time for the reception. Pinkie Pie had gone all out with the decorations and the party was way more fun than should be legal. Everypony had a great time and each one personally came up to the newly married couple and congratulated them. The music started playing, a slow song that everpony knew wasn't exactly Vinyl's style, but needed to be played. Falling Star and Rarity walked onto the dance floor and had their first dance. Then, they had pictures taken and their families and friends stood up to give speeches about the two. Before long, Faliing Star and Rarity were climbing into a carriage and Rarity was tossing her bouquet into the air behind her. It was caught by Vinyl Scratch, who looked just as surprised as everypony else. After a shared laugh, the newly weds prepared to leave. All of a sudden, Star turned around and cleared his throat.

"Thank you, all of you. I wish to say that without everyponies help, none of this wouldn't have been possible. Thank you all for sharing in our special day and for your support. I speak for both of us when I say, we couldn't ask for better friends and neighbors."
After saying this, The newly weds kissed for the crowd again and were off to their honeymoon. It would be several weeks before anypony saw them again. But nopony worried. They just smiled and many wondered aloud what the two would name their future offspring.
