I had to do research for this “If there’s any reason for these two to not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace” bit, because it only comes up in movies and I could not fathom the last time it had ever come up seriously. Turns out it was already outdated in the last century when news travels fast enough that anyone holding a legal objection could reasonably raise it months in advance. And jokingly raising an objection - while a once-in-a~~lifetime opportunity ~~ is in very poor taste for obvious reasons.

Anyway, got more pony cyberpunk shenanigans this week!
Shadowtrot, Session 4 - Rules of Engagement: Podcast | Video

DM: Princess Celestia continues leading the rehearsal while the “loving couple” makes moony eyes at each other.
Princess Celestia: Before we exchange the vows, I’ll offer a few words. Once I’m finished, I’ll say the usual “Speak now or forever hold your peace,” and then we can–
SFX: (SLAM!)
Twilight Sparkle: I- *I OBJECT!*
Rarity: Did you just…?
Rainbow Dash: Tee up a really obvious joke on the fly? Looks like it.
DM: Phew! Got it in one.
Pinkie Pie: I’m so proud…!
Shining Armor: Man. I’m glad this is just a pretend rehearsal for a pretend wedding, btu that STILL made my heart stop.
Princess Cadance: Next time our characters get married, *no drama*.
Shining Armor: Agreed.
