//------------------------------// // From Here To Eternity // Story: Pony Split // by Ark125 //------------------------------// Pony Split Chapter 25 – From Here To Eternity Pure Heart's POV – Hearts Warming Eve – Wedding Day I ran towards the chapel at full speed. "Crap! Crap! CRAP! I'm gonna be late for my own wedding! Dumb parade! Of all the days, today they had to hold a celebration!" I made it just in time. I wiped off the sweat from my head and walked briskly to the front. The procession music started, and the crowd turned around. Sweetie Belle walked down the aisle in a poofy pink and white dress, scattering flower petals everywhere. She was so cute, I wish I had a camera. Next, Celestia walked in and took her place in front as the Bride's Maid of Honor with Marcus escorting her as Best Man. Pipsqueak walked in, holding the bracelets on a pillow in his mouth. Finally, Luna walked in, her 10 foot long train being carried behind her by Applebloom and Scootaloo, both of whom had dresses like Sweetie Belle's only in their respective colors. Rarity really outdid herself on Luna's dress. It was all white; beautiful sequins decorated the outside. The veil covered her face, but I didn't need to see it to tell she had the biggest grin plastered on under that piece of cloth. She finally reached the front and the Cutie Mark Crusaders all went to find their seats among the crowd. Then everything seemed to get really quiet. The pastor turned around and said, "Mawage. Mawage is what…" *clears throat* "Ahem, excuse me. Marriage. An everlasting bond between two who love each other. That is why we are all gathered here today, to celebrate this momentous occasion. "Marriage is the pivotal point in some cultures that determines if the two are really ready to make a commitment and cherish and nourish it. In a sense, this is just like a seed. When growing a seed, you can choose to take care of it, water it every day, make sure it gets enough sunlight, and protecting it from the harsh elements of nature. Or you can choose to neglect it, overwater it, not water it at all, and just let it fend for itself. Take these as you will, but remember to love each other, take care of each other, and communicate with each other. "Now marriage is nothing to be afraid of, but also nothing to laugh at either. This is a serious step you two are taking in life. It comes with rewards, yes, but in order to reap those rewards you must endure trials. These trials will be difficult, but the benefits will be beyond your wildest expectations. Just remember to stay with each other through these trials, so that you both may partake from these amazing treasures. "I expect that you two will live forever, for that very reason you must always remember each other's feelings in situations. This is because you will be put in spots in your life that you must make critical decisions that will affect your future. Remember you are as one now, don't fight or quarrel. When you do though, remember that you are together for the rest of eternity. So make up, forgive each other, and then forget why you were fighting. You will find this to be a great help in your life to come." This went on for another half hour, him basically giving us advice about marriage how to live through it. Finally he got down to the actual wed process. He turned to me, "Pure Heart, do you take Princess Luna, to have and to hold, through sickness and through health, to love her and to cherish her as your wife from now through the rest of all eternity?" I looked at Luna and smiled, "I do." The clergyman turned to Luna and continued, "Princess Luna, do you take Pure Heart, to have and to hold, through sickness and through health, to love him and to cherish him as your husband from now through the rest of all eternity?" "I do." The clergyman turned to the audience, "Is there anypony here that has a reason why these two should not be wed? If so, speak now or forever hold your peace." The question was answered by silence. "If there is no objection, then let us proceed. Where are the bracelets?" "Here they are!" Pipsqueak ran over to the altar. "Thank you. Now the exchanging of the bracelets will begin and then we will close this wedding." He stepped back. I picked up Luna's left front hoof and said, "Luna, by wearing this band, you agree to love me and to cherish our love for eternity. Let this band remind you that my love is never ending." I then clasped the bracelet onto her ankle. She picked up my left front hoof and said, "Pure Heart, by wearing this band, you agree to love me and to cherish our love for eternity. Let this band remind you that my love is never ending." With that, she clasped the band around my leg. The clergyman began again, "These bands can never be removed. No force in existence can separate them from your bodies. Let this symbolize that your love each other can also never be destroyed. You two are now bound for time and all eternity. With that being said. By the power invested upon me, from Princess Celestia and the deity of creation itself, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." I turned to Luna and lifted her veil. I then leaned in and kissed her square on the lips. As soon as I did, we were engulfed by a bright light. The crowd was very bewildered by this spectacle of light. They "ooed" and "awed" as the light danced around our bodies. Twilight turned around because she heard crying, and she saw Rainbow dabbing her eyes. "Rainbow Dash, are you crying?" "N-no! The light is r-really bright and in my eyes, that's all." Twilight rolled her eyes and turned back around to face the light. Other side of the room "Applejack! I see the light! I think it's time for me to go home!" "Na Granny Smith, it's just a life altering transformation." "Ah poo." As soon as the light subsided, the whole crowd gasped. "Holy crap! He only has one wing!"
