Canterlot castle

"I'm so nervous." Celestia said trotting in place. "I'm finally getting married! I should be happy, but I'm also so very nervous."

Rarity sighed, smiling gently.

"You know, when my parents got married, my mom took slow deep breathes to help her calm down." She said. "Just focus on something else and breath in, and out."

Celestia smiled gently, inhaling before exhaling a few times. Her breathing slowed, she nodded to herself, breathing slow and steady.

"Hello? Are you there dear?" Slendermane asked, cracking the door open.

"No!" Rarity yelled, pushing back. "The groom mustn't see the bride before the wedding! It's bad luck!"

"Alright! Alright! Just quit pushing the door, my hoof is in the frame!" He said pulling back. "I actually just came to talk. Behind the door is fine too... I suppose."

"What did you want to talk about dear?" Celestia asked.

"Well, a thought just came up... Or more of a problem actually. How are we going to kiss?"

Celestia mentally facehoofed herself, Rarity did it physically. Slendermane chuckled.

"But, I fixed it. I just hope it doesn't creep out the guests as much as I think." He said. "I'll see you at the altar, my love."

Celestia smiled, just now looking int he mirror.

She had a flawless white dress, nearly thousands of small diamonds decorated it. The fabric wasn't see through but hugged her tight, but not to tight to look like a strip piece. Her Vail, threaded slightly so her eyes could barely be shown through, hung over her face.

"So, how do you like it?" Rarity asked.

"I love it, thank you." She said.

Another knock came from the door and Rarity swung it open, glaring daggers.

"Um... The wedding's starting." Spike said nervously. "I love the dress by the way. Best work yet." He walked away, the rings on a small red pillow.

"Come along princess, we wouldn't want to be late to your own-"

In a flash of gold light, they were both at the entrance to the hall.

"let's hope Changelings don't attack this time." Rarity joked. "Otherwise that could cause a lot of theories."

Celestia nodded before straightening herself up. She took one last deep breath before swinging the doors open. What she saw made her do a double-take.

"Where is he?" She asked though her teeth as they walked down the isle.

"I don't know, maybe he's just fixing his bowtie or something." Rarity replied.

Half way to the altar, nearly everypony groaned when a, all to familiar voice, made itself know.

"Hello auntie!" Blueblood called, obviously running from his panting. "So sorry I was late, but the traffic was horrible."

"Blueblood?" Celestia said. "May I ask why your interrupting, my wedding?"

"I came as quick as I could, I gathered some of the best guards and mercenaries to take care of him." He said, smiling brightly at her.

"Take care of who...?" Celestia asked but already knowing the answer.

He closed his eyes, shaking his head. "That thing that you supposedly love. I know it has you under a spell, I mean really, who would ever fall for something like that?"

As he ranted on, he failed to notice the light's in the room turn blue, casting shadows over the walls and guests. They all went wide eyed as the shadows began swirling directly behind Blueblood.

"...Blueblood..." Slendermane whispered.

"What?" He opened his eyes. "What's going on? Where are you so I may smight you down with my hooves!?"

"Is that really what you think of me? a simple thing....?" he whispered from no particular direction, yet saying it from everywhere at once.

"Y-Yes!" He said, rubbing his head as his vision began to blur. "What are you doing to me?"

A snort of hot air ran down his neck, with a gulp Blueblood turned slowly, and looking down at him was a faceless head with a mouth of sharp teeth.

Slendermane leaned down, almost touching Blueblood's nose with his.

"Boo."

Blueblood gave a long, ear piercing scream as he ran back through the doors. Once they closed, the lights returned to normal and the guests began to clap.

"Slender, why did you do that to my rotten nephew?" Celestia asked as they both walked to the altar.

"The guards did warn me about him and his band of merry misfits. It turns out, when I went to go say hello to them, they dropped their weapons and ran off. I figured you wouldn't want him blurting out something every second."

"But was that really necessary? Scaring him like that?"

"I'm entitled to one scare, per one thousand years. I have them saved up, and, so you know I don't actually like scaring ponies who don't deserve it. He, definitely deserved it from what Rarity told me."

As they walked, Celestia looked at his attire. He was wearing a black tuxedo, a forked flap resting on his flank. White frills decorated the open part of his chest and sleeves, and in the middle was a small red bowtie.

"We are all gathered here today to witness, the marriage of two souls throughout Equestria." Discord said. "Princess Celestia, you may now say your vow."

"I, Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria promise to take care of you, Slendermane through sickness, health and death." She said.

"And I, Slendermane Pagefinder, promise to care for you, Princess Celestia through sickness, health and death." He said proudly.

"Do you, Celestia, take Slendermane to be your lawfully, wedded husband?" Discord recited.

"I do." She said.

"And do you, Slendermane, take Celestia to be your lawfully, wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Then you may kiss the bride."

He lifted her Vail up, she had a faint blush on her cheeks.

He turned away momentarily, a ripping and snapping sound was heard, when he turned back the ponies present, minus Celestia, gasped.

He gave a smile, showing off two rows of polished white canines.

"What? Did you expect some writing mass of tentacles and yellow teeth, dripping acidic ooze onto the floor?" He asked.

"I'm still expecting a kiss." Celestia said.

She turned her head to the side and he leaned forward; their lips met, a slight shock going through both of them. It only lasted for a minute, but it felt like hours, bliss filled hours.

"If the ring bearer may present the rings." Discord said.

Spike went up to the couple, smiling brightly as Slendermane took the rings.

He slipped one onto her horn, letting it settle at the base. She wiped a tear away as his hoof retracted.

He slipped on his own ring, putting it onto his hoof. He closed his mouth and looked back at her.

They both turned and saw the crowd burst into cheers. Clapping and whistling, everyone with bright smiles.

"Spike, are you alright?" Twilight asked as she wiped away a tear of her own with a wing.

"Yes." He sniffled. "I'm crying many manly tears. I promised myself I wouldn't cry...!" He blew his nose into a hoofkerchief. "Why do I always do this at weddings!?"

Slendermane saw them and walked over, excusing himself from the small group of mares crowding him and his wife. Towering above everyone in the room, they made way for him and he then stood in front of Twilight.

"I suppose we're related now?" He said.

"Welcome to the family," she said. "Uncle Slendermane." She said.

"Uncle... If Celestia is your step aunt, and Cadence is also her niece... Wouldn't that mean Blueblood is your step-brother?"

All the sound in the room died in an instant.

"Was it something I said?"
