...yes; you missed a lot, Princess.

Haha, You're so odd sometimes, Luna. [she's being playful though.]

...Let's just say you're a really heavy sleeper princess.

It was probably for the best...

And what, pray tell, did I miss?

Whatever dost thou mean, Rainbow Dash?

[...frooown]

Did nopony wake me again?

Wherefore, dear Fluttershy?

Well, um, it's just, you could have gotten hurt or something...

In a nutshell:

my brother's wedding, infiltration from a Changeling Queen, everypony turning against me for a little while, a Disney-style plot twist, a changeling invasion, my friends and I fighting them off, Shining and the real Cadence's wedding and the reception.

But not to worry, Princess; there's plenty of cake left over!

We kicked Evil's butt and I did my Sonic Rainboom at the wedding!

[blank look]

Hurt? [what, was Discord loose again?]

[She shrinks back a little. Oh boy, does she really have to say it? She doesn't want you to feel bad ;; ]

Uh... See...

[DEEEEEEP breath, and then she speaks super-rapidly.]

Princess Cadence wasn't Princess Cadence but a Changeling Queen and she defeated Princess Celestia and Shining Armor was under the Queen's spell and the giant shield broke and we had to fight all these other Changelings but then the real Cadence broke the spell over Armor and then their love defeated the Queen and banished the Changelings.

[DEEEEEP exhale. Squeak.]

...

No. Nothing much... Auntie.

...It's a little more complicated than that.

Juuust a little, Princess.

[eartwitch. Brat.]

Then why the commotion?

Uh... Well, there may have been a slight Changeling problem. But it's all taken care of, Princess.

Glad you made the reception.

[well, this is different]

What was it this time? [why does everything happen during the day]

A few problems. Nothing worth worrying yourself over.

Although you did miss the wedding itself as well. My brother did remember to invite you, didn't he? [ If not, she'll have a few choice words with him later. ]

[staring]

...Perhaps I should remain in Canterlot next time thou visitest. [mane cast seems to bring trouble wherever they go]

A most excellent display, I am sure. [that she missed.

...] "Evil's butt?"

[how often does she say 'butt' anyway]

Let us hear it, then.

[...aslkdfjaLSKDja. Defeated Celestia??? Oh and Cadence too, I guess.]

Was anypony hurt?

Yep! These terrible things attacked the castle! They were so nasty looking. they had holes in their legs, princess!

[hmmmm. Well. The castle is still standing. Couldn't have been that bad, right? Right??]

Yes, I did receive an invitation; I had to attend to business elsewhere and I did not plan to return 'til nightfall.

"A slight Changeling problem." Forgive me for sounding skeptical, Shining Armor, but that doth sound like an understatement to me.

[a nod] I was glad to have attended some part of it. Congratulations on thy nuptials.

What? What had occurred whilst I was away?

[being away from Canterlot seems to be the most logical explanation]

(Of course they do! They wouldn't be a very good mane cast if they didn't.)

You could get plenty of screen time that way! Maybe we can also arrange a party for your next visit.

Thank you, Princess.

[He bows. You may technically be his aunt, but he still feels like he should bow.]

And I'm sorry if I'm understating; I just don't want to think about it too much.

[... Not... l-looking you in the eyes.]

... W-well, they're all better now.

[well that answers her question.]

Whither were they banished, Fluttershy?

Um, I don't know where the Changelings were banished to, but they were blown back pretty far away.

[she'd take 'princess' over 'aunt' any day. 'Aunt' makes her feel old.]

The captain of the Royal Guard doth not wish to think upon a security breach of uncertain magnitude.

With all due respect, I don't. Cadence and I have been through a lot. This whole thing was my fault anyway.

[and now she's glowering at the horizon. Gonna need to get the reports from guards, ask Celestia about the fight, take out a few units of the guard, rearrange the castle security, take necessary precautions, round up the Changelings and send 'em back to Tartarus. Or wherever.

Stupid wedding. Did they really just continue with the ceremonies?]

[not earning any points here]

Do tell. How was it thy fault?

The Changeling Queen impersonated Cadence. She kept using her magic on me whenever I started to get suspicious... My head still hurts...

[apparently, it is possible for her countenance to get even darker. Illusions and trickery, that's what it came down to. One of her areas of expertise, in other words. Perhaps she should've taken more of an interest in the wedding, or even just in Cadence. Ugh.

Hell, maybe she should've stayed in Canterlot more.

A sigh.] The blame does not rest on thy shoulders alone.

It feels like it does.

I couldn't tell the difference between the love of my life and an evil bug.
