* BrickJoke: Early on, Bon Bon says the cake looks "good enough to eat", and tries to sneak a bit of the frosting from the cake, only for Melody to stop her. Later, Bon Bon realises the rings fell into the cake, and opens it to pull them out, to Melody's annoyance until she sees the rings, and since the rings are covered in frosting, Bon Bon licks it off.

Clover's older sister Meadowlark is getting married today to a stallion named Cheval, and Clover is helping her with her outfit. Clover accidentally launches Meadowlark's garter into the air by stretching it, but Meadowlark manages to leap into the air and catch it. Meadowlark can barely contain her happiness about today being her wedding day. The other girls are amazed at Meadowlark's outfit, and Clover shows off Meadowlark's engagement ring. Clover tries to put her mother's borrowed pearl necklace on Meadowlark, but it snaps and the pearls fly everywhere. Their mother thinks Clover and her friends should stay out of the way until the ceremony, but they still want to help. Meadowlark has prepared a list of errands for Clover: check that the flowers are delivered on time, see that the baker decorated the cake properly, and pick up the wedding rings. Their mother is apprehensive about the idea of Clover carrying out these tasks, but Meadowlark has confidence in her sister. Starlight and Bright Eyes stay to fix the necklace while Clover takes the other girls with her.

When Clover has the rings, she drops the box and the rings go bouncing out of the shop. Fortunately, before they can fall into an open manhole, a pony pokes his head out and they bounce off his hardhat and onto Clover's hooves. Sweetheart points out it's bad luck for someone other than the bride to wear the rings. Just then, they see Cheval with another mare, Suzette, who thanks him for her engagement ring before he compliments her beauty. The girls immediately think he's a two-timer, not helped by him planting a kiss on her forehead. They hop into the wagon containing Meadowlark's flowers to spy on the duo discreetly, realizing too late that they've crushed the flowers. When Cheval and Suzette are gone, Clover sends Sweetheart and Patch to take what's left of the flowers back to the house, warning them not to mention anything about what they just saw, and takes Melody and Bon Bon with her.

When Sweetheart and Patch return, they're hesitant to let Mrs. Bloom see the flowers, but she pulls out the cover and is horrified at their state. Patch decides to gather some flowers from the garden.

Meanwhile, the other three are still watching Cheval and Suzette converse some more and apparently collecting a wedding cake of their own. Clover angrily charges at Cheval, but tumbles forward and into the wedding cake. She berates him and runs away to tell Meadowlark.

'''Original air date''': October 30th, 1992

Clover's older sister Meadowlark is getting married today to a stallion named Cheval, and Clover is helping her with her outfit. Clover accidentally launches Meadowlark's garter into the air by stretching it, but Meadowlark manages to leap into the air and catch it. Meadowlark can barely contain her happiness about today being her wedding day. The other girls are amazed at Meadowlark's outfit, and Clover shows off Meadowlark's engagement ring. Clover tries to put her mother's borrowed pearl necklace on Meadowlark, but it snaps and the pearls fly everywhere. Their mother thinks Clover and her friends should stay out of the way until the ceremony, but they still want to help. Meadowlark has prepared a list of errands for Clover: check that the flowers are delivered on time, see that the baker decorated the cake properly, and pick up the wedding rings. Their mother is apprehensive about the idea of Clover carrying out these tasks, but Meadowlark has confidence in her sister. Starlight and Bright Eyes stay to fix the necklace while Clover takes the other girls with her.

When Clover has the rings, she drops the box and the rings go bouncing out of the shop. Fortunately, before they can fall into an open manhole, a pony pokes his head out and they bounce off his hardhat and onto Clover's hooves. Sweetheart points out it's bad luck for someone other than the bride to wear the rings. Just then, they see Cheval with another mare, Suzette, who thanks him for her engagement ring before he compliments her beauty. The girls immediately think he's a two-timer, not helped by him planting a kiss on her forehead. They hop into the wagon containing Meadowlark's flowers to spy on the duo discreetly, realizing too late that they've crushed the flowers.

When Sweetheart and Patch return, they're hesitant to let Mrs. Bloom see the flowers, but she pulls out the cover and is horrified at their state. Patch decides to gather some flowers from the garden

Meanwhile, the other three are still watching Cheval and Suzette converse some more and apparently collecting a w wedding cake of their own. Clover angrily charges at Cheval, but tumbles forward and into the wedding cake. She berates him and runs away to tell Meadowlark.

Clover reaches Meadowlark back at the house and is just about to tell her the news when Cheval and Suzette show up. Clover furiously orders Cheval to confess, but it turns out Suzette is Cheval's ''sister'', who's engaged to someone else. Realizing the wedding has been ruined for nothing, the girls resolve to fix it.

Clover wakes her mother up later to tell her everything is back in order, but Clover then realizes she doesn't have the rings. Fortunately, Bon Bon realizes they're inside the cake she reassembled.

The wedding is able to proceed forward, and Meadowlark isn't mad with her sister, and in fact thanks her for making her special day one she won't forget.

* BilingualBonus: The name of Meadowlark's fiancee Cheval; it's actually a French word for horse.

* {{Bridezilla}}: Inverted; Meadowlark manages to keep a level head when her parents panic over Clover and her friends jeopardizing the ceremony.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
-->'''Sweetheart:''' Cheval! The wedding! ''(lays on the floor crying, believing [[MistakenForCheating Cheval is cheating on Meadowlark]])''\\
'''Patch:''' Don't mind her. She always cries at weddings.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While spying on Cheval and Suzette, the girls hop into the wagon of flowers for Meadowlark to hide, thus crushing the flowers.
* HoldYourHippogriffs:
-->'''Mrs. Bloom''': Many hooves make light work.
* MistakenForCheating: The girls believe Cheval is cheating on Meadowlark with the mare he's talking with about engagement, but she turns out to be his sister who is engaged to someone else.
* OldNewBorrowedAndBlue: Clover is putting together some wedding outfit items of this nature for Meadowlark at the beginning.
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: The girls witness Cheval having a conversation with another mare named Suzette about her getting engaged, and they think it's with each other. Turns out she's actually engaged to someone else.
