. Tangles CUCUMMERBUND GROOM AND Yawn BEDDY-BYE BRIDE'S WEDDING .
The scene is set! Outside in the glorious day; Tangles and Yawn are set to be married.
The guests, when they decide to wander over, are expected to either stand or plop
themselves on an array of pillows taken from Yawn’s very own giant pillow collection.
The trellis has thick cucumber plants growing up it’s sides, intertwined with another vine
with deep blue flowers. It is an informal and quaint set up; meant for the enjoyment of
the bride and groom. A long table nearby is covered in various foods; the most notable
being a ridiculously large amount of cucumber sandwiches and what looks like it might be a
cucumber flavoured muffin. Meanwhile Yawn is fast asleep in a small tent on a small
blue wagon and doesn’t appear to be waking up very soon; despite the occasional bite
of her ear by Candy Cane.

The wedding ceremony was all set up on the fringes of the grassy plains and Phony City, with throngs of visitors and Phonies wandering in and out of the reception and the carnival. Cucummerbund Groom may've felt sick but the only solution to this illness was the wedding, so it was time to Just Do It. Ridiculously dressed up amongst miniature ponies for the occasion, Maxx tapped the microphone on his robes and begins the PSA under the cucumbered-trellis.
"The wedding ceremony will begin soon - " he warned, "someone calm Cucummerbund Groom down and wake Beddy-Bye Bride up please. Everyone involved, please be ready at your places. If you'd like to watch an awesome wrec - wedding, feel free to gather 'round and seat yourselves along the aisle."

Tangles (aka. Cucummberbund Groom), had been so nervous he'd already packed up one side of a tent from ground to top with decked cucumbers on little pillows. He'd never gone through so much ribbon, not to mention vegetables, in his life. It wasn't so much that he had cold feet (or hooves, in this case) but more than he had to stand in front of all those people.
"All those people...", he felt himself turning a paler shade of green.

Negative, the best-man elect of this strange event called a wedding, was doing his best to calm the groom, as advised, while also ignoring the unfortunate presence of a clip-on bowtie and collar (in shades of purple, since that was the only way he could be convinced to wear it at all). The act was complicated by his own nervousness about the potential crowd of visitors and phonies alike.
"It, it ain't no big thing," he said to Tangles, putting on a brave face. "Hy imagine they'se happy fer ya, an' only wishin' ya th' best," he said, pawing nervously at the grass underfoot. This was his special job, and he was going to do his best, even if he died of nerves during or after the service!

Time to wake the bride? Candy Cane was on the job! She circled around the little wagon before standing on her hind legs and delivering to Yawn’s behind a very solid kick to the rump. ‘Waaaake up Yawn!’ The wagon trundled forward before coming to a squeaky stop, and Yawn slowly raised her head up and blinked blearily at Candy Cane. “Time to get married. No, no, no; don’t put your head back down. Married Yawn! Don’t leave silly Tangles at the altar! All those cucumbers will go to waste.”
“Married...” Yawn blinked sleepily and looked ready to fall back into her dreams, when the words sunk in. “Oh, oh… married. Ah…” A happy blush spread across her cheeks and she struggled up into a sitting position. “I’m ready!”
Candy Cane trotted self importantly to the opening of the tent and stuck her head out. “Hey, start the music or something. The bride is coming!” Popping back inside she picked up the rope connected to the wagon and got ready to roll the bride out. Yawn could hardly be expected to walk… she’d probably drop on her face halfway there.

At the cue of Candy Cane's incredibly peppy voice, Maxx nodded to Fireflight, who switched the sound system to the Wedding March, because these two Phonies direly needed to be married before Beddy-Bye Bride fell asleep again. In light of that, he urgently beckoned Cucummberbund Groom and his earnest best Phony over, for the bride to make her hopefully less-narcoleptic entrance.

Tangles had thrown up. Twice in a disused rain barrel that morning and so there was nothing left but dry heaves as he composed himself as best he could.
"The Wedding Mar- Oh, it's time!" he pressed his fore hooves to the sides of his face and adjusted his withered looking tie back into shape. "Nega, you know where to stand, right?"
He popped his head out and looked at all the expectant people. His eyes went from terrified to near fearless.
"Right!" he said with determination.
And slapped on a set of horse blinders.
"Groovy."

As soon as the music started up, and whether or not the groom and his best man was in place, Candy Cane slipped the rope over her neck so it settled against her chest and pulled the bride out of the tent and into view!
They moved down the aisle at a stately pace, Yawn looking like she wasn’t sure if she was awake or asleep, the joy and excitement all too much for the sleepy girl. She glanced around at the assembled guests and blushed. They were all here just for her wedding? Oh, she was so, so happy. She sat up straighter and tried to get a glimpse of Tangles ahead.
They only stopped once where a pillow had strayed into the aisle. Candy Cane turned a gaze of PHONY FURY upon the closest guest until the offending item was removed and they could continue on.
Finally they were at the end, C.C wheeling the wagon around into position. “Get it started boss man.”

A careful flip of his cuff revealed a cheat sheet of Demi's last officiated wedding speech. He'd meant to take that course but hadn't had the time... "Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here in the face of this company to join together these Hytes Phonies in matrimony that may or may not be holy depending on your religion's opinion of genetic manipulation, but is holy enough in these genetically hallowed grounds. Into this holy estate these two Hytes Phonies present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." Maxx allowed a brief moment to pass before continuing, since the danger of the bride falling over was still nigh. "Fantastic!" he said perfunctorily. "So -" a gesture to the green Phony, "do you, Cucummerbund Groom, take Beddy-Bye Bride to be your lawfully wedded wife – to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, till..." Gosh, what could GM ponies die of? Not pony cancer anymore. Didn't those G1 ponies live forever in Ponyland?? "...till some improbable death do you part?"

Tangles, having almost forgotten that his name was currently Cucummerbund Groom, took a moment for the realization to set it.
"Wha? OH! Oh, um.... Yes!" he nodded, adjusting his blinders.

Well, THAT was reassuring. Since he just spent the entire day tying bows around cucumbers, Maxx assumed he was indeed uh, enthused. He turned to the blue Phony next. "Do you, Beddy-Bye Bride, take Cucummerbund Groom to be your lawfully wedded husband – to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, till some improbable death do you part?

During the initial part of the speech, Yawn’s head may have started drooping down towards the edge of the wagon (sheer excitement getting the better of her) but it quickly jerked up again when they reached the vows from a well-timed bite to her butt.
Eyes widening, she stared adoringly at Tangles until it was her turn to speak.
“O-oh y-yes of course. Forever and ever.”

Oh good. It was really handy to have Candy Cane about, they were progressing nicely. He eyed Nega significantly and said, "now bring forth the rings, please."

Nega stared blankly for a moment, as he had been doing the entire service through. After the pause, he mumbled "Hhho, rht. Rngs!" around the velvet pillow in his mouth, which may or may not have had puncture marks and a little drool in it from being held very securely by the shellshocked best man. He bowed between Maxx and the bride and groom, putting the rings in easy reach.

"Here we go. If either of you has got a whole speech planned out, please speak as you hand the ring over -" he eyed the hoof 'ring' dubiously, in a 'bracelets?' fashion but ponies, eh. "- before the Bride passes out. Otherwise, saying 'with this ring, I thee wed' will do just as well." Maxx carefully plucked the 'ring' away from the devastated side of the pillow, and realised that no Phony could possibly do a speech and hold a ring in his mouth at the same time.
"Do your piece first," he said, awkwardly holding the massive 'ring' for Cucummerbund Groom.
