Keira: No, that’s not it… Well, not all of it. I do miss Discord, yes, but I just have too much running through my mind. I’m scared that I’ll make a bad decision without him being here to help me pick out things.
Cadence: But wasn’t the plan for today only to help you come up with ideas?
Keira: But how do I know I’m making good choices? I don’t want to pick something he wouldn’t like on our wedding day! I want the big day to be about us. A day we can both be happy about everything. I don’t want to do something to make him angry on the big day! How do I know if he’s going to like something if he isn’t there to help me pick things?
Cadence thought over what Keira said and remembered what it was like before her wedding day. She could remember when all she could do is worry about small details and what Shining would think of anything she did.
Cadence: Keira, I can understand what’s going through your mind. I was just like you when I was an engaged mare. It was even worse because I knew I was going to be married in front of every pony in Canterlot. I felt like not only did I have to make my husband-to-be happy, but every pony that came to see.
Keira: Really? I couldn’t imagine that stress… but now I’m worried about what every pony else will say. What if all this is a mistake?
Cadence: There’s no way it could be a mistake. The love you two feel for each other could never be a mistake. I want you to remember something for me. Even though you feel like you have to please every pony, don’t think that you have to. The only ponies that should be happy are you and Discord. If he truly loves you, then he’ll love whatever you decide to go with.
Keira: I never really thought about that. Maybe you’re right, Cadence. I wanted to just get ideas and I let the stress get to me. Sorry about that. I’ll try harder to not let it get to me.
Cadence: No need to apologize to me. Come on. Let’s head back to the castle. Maybe you, me, Shining, and Discord could sit down together and talk about what we went through before being married. Hopefully that will help the two of you more.
Keira: Thank you, Cadence. I really appreciate you helping me and Discord out.
