=== Continued in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 /E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2]]". ===
----
 
=== Tropes present in this episode ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E25 a Canterlot Wedding Part 1/YMMV|YMMV tropes here]]): ===
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** Of a sort. At one point, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza smiles in a very similar way to one of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E6/E06 Boast Busters|Trixie's]] expressions back in season one. {{spoiler|Once she's revealed as the Changeling Queen and returns to her true form, she shares a voice actor with Trixie.}}
** Shining Armor's is "Captain of the guard", a profession once shared by Jaller in ''[[Bionicle]]'', whom shares the [[Andrew Francis|same VA]] as Shining Armor.
* [[Affectionate Gesture to the Head]]:
Line 51:
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: Twilight's first reaction to being told her brother is marrying Cadence is nothing more than absolute glee that her childhood friend and the "best foalsitter ever" is marrying her brother. Then she sees the [[Jerkass]] Cadence has become {{spoiler|(or seemed to)}}. {{spoiler|In the end, thanks to Impostor Cadence, she ends up becoming this in everyone else's eyes to some degree.}}
* [[Call Back]]:
** Applejack is the caterer for the wedding like she was for the Summer Sun Festival in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E1/E01 Mare in Thethe Moon|the very first episode.]]
** Fluttershy's [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E1/E01 Mare in Thethe Moon|bird]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E5/E05 Griffon the Brush Off|choir]] makes a return.
** Twilight [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E1/E01 Mare in Thethe Moon|is the]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E11 Winter Wrap Up|organizer.]]
** Rainbow Dash is called to perform her [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom.]]
** Pinkie plays the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E10 Swarm of the Century|Parasprite Polka]] while demonstrating to Mi Amore Cadenza.
*** She was using it to portray The Chicken Dance, an old wedding tradition in some circles.
** We see that force field that Twilight conjured [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 /E23 Ponyville Confidential|in "Ponyville Confidential'']] except this time Shining Armor's the one who made it. (Maybe she learned the spell from her big brother.) The [[Anti-Magic]] bubble from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E2/E02 The Return of Harmony Part 2|"The Return of Harmony Part 2"]] also looked the same.
** Twilight does her joyful jumping around thing both as a filly and an adult, like she did in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|''The Cutie Mark Chronicles'']].
** The [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E3/E03 Lesson Zero|Smarty Pants doll]] makes a brief reappearance in Twilight's flashback to Cadence. Twilight is pulling Smarty Pants out of a toy chest with her magic just before Cadence walks into the room. When Twilight sees Cadence, she drops Smarty Pants to get a hug. Smarty Pants is even seen with her quill and notebook!
** In the same scene, near the roof is a kite exactly like the one Apple Bloom tried to learn to fly in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]].
** Call Back to "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E14 Suited for Success|Suited For Success]]", possibly mixed with [[Character Development]]. This time Rainbow Dash is able to articulate what she doesn't like about her dress and how it can be improved, and Rarity is more pleasant about making changes to it.
* [[The Cameo]]: Luna appears several times throughout the two-parter, though she has no bearing on the plot.
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: [[Zig-Zagging Trope]]. {{spoiler|Everypony dismisses Twilight's claim that Cadence is evil. But then Cadence is revealed to be incredibly nice. The jerk-Cadence was an impostor.}}
Line 70:
* [[Control Freak]]: Mi Amore Cadenza -- understandably, since it's her wedding and she has to do all the preparations by herself with her groom tied up with the upkeep of the protection spell. {{spoiler|But it's not really her.}}
* [[Creator Cameo]]: [http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/170412 The female Pegasus] in the flashback is a [http://sibsy.deviantart.com/#/d4wnsuy creation of SIBSY].
* [[Crying Wolf]]: Twilight's habit of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E3/E03 Lesson Zero|making mountains]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 /E20 Its About Time|out of molehills]] comes back to bite her in the flank, [[Tear Jerker|big time]].
* [[Damned By Faint Praise]]: Twilight see's Princess Cadence's actions towards the other ponies like this, though none of the other five notice it.
* [[Dark Reprise]]: Of Twilight's "B.B.B.F.F." song, after she's alienated her brother.
Line 115:
* [[Nice Hat]]: The Mane Six's hats -- both in the episode(s) and in promotional material (see, for example, the [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03/updated-billboard-size-more-parody.html billboard image]).
* [[Non-Standard Character Design]]: Princess Cadence is a [[Winged Unicorn]] with black-rimmed eyes like Celestia (either eyeliner or just trait of the family's royal lineage), gradient wings, and an unusually shaped face.
* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Celestia's looking worried [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E1/E01 The Return of Harmony Part 1|again]]? We're doomed.
* [[Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure]]: The episode ends with every last one of Twilight Sparkle's friends -- and her ''mentor!'' -- on the outs with her. Luckily, the status quo is back to normal almost as soon as the second part begins.
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Twilight.
