Popular Post Imagination Posted September 21, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 As some of you ponies may know, a very special day is rapidly approaching for one of Canterlot’s very most super duper special mares. Namely, Manestream! And specifically, her wedding to the lovely Mirelmture! So, fantastically, Canterlot’s own resident draconequus, Fawkes, decided to organize a little surprise to celebrate the special occasion. With just a little over two weeks to pull it all together, Fawkes contacted as many of Canterlot’s artists as he could reach and as you’ll see, they were more than happy to contribute to celebrating this momentous occasion!And for anyone else who might want to contribute a gift to the couple-to-be, there’s still plenty of time! Just send it my way in a PM once it's finished and I’ll edit it into the reserved post below! Although a couple of huzzahs and congrats I’m sure would be equally appreciated, and you can just post those here!It's a beautiful thing, and I truly wish you both undying happiness! I love you like a sister, Mane, and it's impossible to find strong enough words for how happy we all are for you both.So with all that said, [colour=#EE82EE]CONGRATULATIONS MANESTREAM AND MIRELMTURE!![/colour]I’ll let the draconequus himself fill you in from here, with a very special message![colour=#ff0000]SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!!!!~ [/colour]Manestream and Mirelmture, in honor of the very special day that is soon to be upon you two, I've gathered together an array of Canterlot's most talented artists (and one musician) to shower you with their heart-felt congratulations and well-wishes... along with a dozen or so pictures of Lampwick and Acorn Sugar!As we crossed into September, I was admittedly somewhat surprised that no one from Canterlot seemed to be organizing anything special for you two. I mean, yeah, you just recently received that fantastic birthday surprise Mane, but... it's your wedding! It only happens once! Tales handled the birthday surprise, so I figured I'd handle the wedding surprise. I went around to all the Canterlot artists I could get in contact with and they were all more than happy to contribute!So without further ado, I present their gifts to you!Click here for gifts![colour=#0000ff]First up is a fantastic wedding tune composed by IRockZ28![/colour] http://soundcloud.com/blackfox8888/wedding-tune-by-irockz28/s-NmpgrAnd now, pictures![colour=#0000ff]A romantic forest glade by Angie Cakes![/colour][colour=#0000ff]Adorable nuzzles by Astalakio![/colour][colour=#0000ff]Hearts and tails entwined by AsthmaticPegasus![/colour][colour=#0000ff]A sharp looking Lamp and beautiful Acorn by BlindJester![/colour][colour=#0000ff]A breathtaking sunset ceremony by BrainedbySaucepans![/colour][colour=#0000ff]Newlywed's first kiss by BrianBlackberry![/colour][colour=#0000ff]Pony OCs rehumanized (OC-ception!) in loving embrace by Mister Riley![/colour][colour=#0000ff]Love with a side of flowers by crp_dude![/colour][colour=#0000ff]Two hearts become one by Davroth!

Imagination Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 [Reserved for future/ unfinished gifts!][colour=#0000ff]Here is a very lovely piece of writing and pictures by Alison Rose![/colour]A Not-So-Royal Canterlot Wedding. It was a glorious day indeed, two of the most gorgeous mares in all of Equestria were to be wed today and everypony who they knew had been invited. Heartbeat suited up in her most fancy of dresses but made sure that she wasn't too fancy to outshine the wives to be. She was on the next train to Canterlot and knew that it was only a short time before everypony would be as excited as she was that Lampwick found such a glorious mare to be married to. “Oh I almost for got.” She let out a small giggle as she grabbed her speech that she would be giving about the brides to be. Was that even what she should be calling them? Heartbeat had never been to a wedding where there was two brides. She figured it would be ok to call them both Brides to Be since they were both in fact brides, but it felt slightly off. Shrugging at the thought she packed her speech into her saddlebags and trotted quickly out to the train. Hopefully the weather in Canterlot was better then it was here in Manehatten. She thought to herself as the rain tack tacked against the windows of the slow moving beast. The black train did all it could to get her to Canterlot in a timely manner but when she arrived she heard the wedding bells already chiming through the winding streets and pathways of the illustrious city. “Oh no, I can't be late for this!” Heartbeat quickly got out of the train, remembering to grab her speech this time and charged onwards towards the wedding. There was cheery blossom petals falling all down the street as the sun shined in all of its glory to make sure that these two gorgeous mares had the best wedding ever. Running through the twisting roads and trotways she quickly found the area where all of the chairs and carpet had been set up for the wedding, was she too late? Without even thinking she began to bolt down the center of the isle making note of all the ponies that she saw there and grinning as she recalled her first time meeting Lampwick and how strange that Heartbeat thought she was at first. But even after that first encounter the two had become good friends, and Heartbeat was also thinking that all of these ponies here and herself were so lucky to have met her and were also so lucky to be invited to her wedding. “Well it seems that we have our final speaker here finally.” The priest pony said with a grin as he backed away from the podium and made room for Heartbeat. Clearing her throat she stepped up to the podium, the microphone making an awkward squeal at first before falling quiet. Silence fell over the crowed even as the bells in the distance still chimed to make sure that everypony in Canterlot knew that there was a wedding going on. “My fellow friends.” It was a cheesy way to start but Heartbeat didn't have time to worry about that now. “We are gathered here today to make our love for Lampwick Flicker Jane and Acorn Sugar. Both of these gorgeous mares have been nothing but kind to me and I am sure they have been no less to anypony else, even in times of hardship I knew that I could always call on Lampwick and she would at least extend her condolences for the things I was going through.” She took a deep breath before she continued. “I know that I shouldn't be making this about me, since it is their special day...” She trailed off as she looked over and saw both the golden mare Lampwick and the snow white mare Acorn Sugar sitting together and looking absolutely stunning in their wedding attire. She couldn't help but grin and blush slightly, the red showing up even more on her own white coat then it normally did.“I have yet to figure out what to call these two, both of them brides, no. They are more then that, they are entangled in fate and life now. But I think that I am digressing from the facts, I mean...” She trails off again obviously having lost her spot on the pages of her words. Finding it again she nods her head and then leads herself back into the words.“In conclusions I would just like to state that I wholly give my blessings to both of these mares even though they clearly don't need them.” She took another deep breath.“And without further notice, I would like to say: Congratulations to you both and I hope that you have plenty of fun on your hunnymoon and be sure to make lots of good memories with each other. But also know that each one of us is still here for you like you were here for us.” She grinned as she thought in her head how stupid she sounded seeing as she skipped half of her speech but she was too frazzled to even attempt to go back and fix it. With a bow she took her notes and as she walked past she handed them to Lampwick, and as she did Lampwick took the time to look down on them, she found nothing but four blank pages and one page that says:“Forever in my mind, and in my heart.To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.Don't ever forget your loving memories of us all, but also be sure to make some new ones with your family.Respectfully and faithfully yours,Heartbeat.”[colour=#0000ff]Adorableness by LovinMoonlight![/colour][colour=#0000ff][/colour][colour=#0000ff]Pretty Prancing Ponies by Dunes![/colour] 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Manestream Posted September 22, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thank you everypony, for the heartfelt words and warm wishes- Mir and I are both stunned by the unexpected gifts- they are gorgeous and took us completely by surprise! We've already set several different pictures to our desktops as we plan out the final details; it has been a wonderful and sweet reminder everytime we look at our phones or computers to finalize guest lists, or call someone and see a picture of lampwick and acorn trussed up and ready to go- it makes me tear up :')I was approached by fawkes and shown his blog link where the well wishes were originally kept, and when asked by another if the art and well wishes could be displayed in a thread I thought that would be a very nice sentiment- I am very glad to see others chiming in to wish us well on our special day.I love this community, have poured my heart into it, and plan to continue to do so; its really touching to see others here excited for us, even to go as far as make beautiful artwork, poems, and literature about us- thank you so very much for caring, and sharing in my special days. Its been so much work lately its been hard to find time for the forum, so i find it really cool to see the forum reaching out to me to wish me well!Thank you all so very much- I heard a friend say this once when we parted, knowing we wouldn't meet again for years; it was the best blessing i've ever heard, and I'd like to share it to all of you:"I hope the worst of your future is the best of your past" It caught me off guard when I heard it, but if the worst of my future is the best i've ever known, then that would make for a pretty spectacular future. I wish the best for all of you- and look forward to getting to know you all better as we continue to grow as a community.Thank you again everypony; i'm sorry if i'm a little long-winded tonight, i'm getting married tomorrow and my stomach is full of all sorts of good butterflies ^_^;; Thank you again for the wonderful words, and gifts- I cant begin to express how thankful we are for your thoughtfulness :') 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
