I'm not saying that should have appeared before then, but they could've at least been mentioned considering that they were rather important people to Twilight.

Take for instance the Grand Galloping Gala from Season 1. That was brought up and was very prominent in two episodes before the event actually took place. There's a sense of progression and that the Gala actually has weight to the characters and we know why they're actually going there. Maybe Twilight could've gotten a letter or something from Shining Armor every now and then in throughout the second season. I know Shining Armor and Cadence were created for the season finale, and while I do like them, that still doesn't excuse the fact that they came out of nowhere with barely much of a song to act as an introduction.

I know I'm sounding cynical but that's just my view on the issue.
