What if Princess Cadence was in the first episode?

Looking at the original toy models for Celestia and Luna, they wanted a traditionally pink pony Princess. But when Faust dug her heels in and went with her original designs, Hasbro tried to have their cake and eat it too by introducing Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, your pretty, pink pony princess partaking in a fairy tail wedding to her knight in shining armor, all seemingly made for the sole purpose of selling those traditional girly horse toys. 

But what if Hasbro got more of their way earlier? Celestia and Luna didn't have to be stereo-typically feminine and frilly princesses. That they could keep their more mythic and regal natures as intended, so long as there was a pretty pink pony princess to sell toys of. 

Perhaps while Celestia is busy raising the sun, the moon and running a school of magic, Cadence is the day to day face of the kingdom as well as being Twilight's tutor and big sister figure. She's the one who asks Twi to help her plan Aunty Celestia's Summer Sun Celebration and not worry about NMM. Episode goes as planned until NMM shows up and she foalnaps Cadence and it's up to Twi and the others to not only find the elements but save Princess Cadence too. 

 

So how would the show have been received with a stereotypical girly looking third princess written in from the start and occasionally being featured across season 1? Is The Best Night Ever and A Canterlot Wedding sorta fused into one at shows end? The fairy tail wedding becoming a party of disaster and debauchery? Would there be episodes where Candence would've been better suited to the role than Celestia? How would you have horse shoe'd Cadence into episode 1 and by extension Season 1?

If Cadance had been around from the beginning we might have seen an episode in the future that would explain how Cadance became an Alicorn.
