SHOTGUN WEDDING PROTOCOL — Survey says, REMINGTON and MOSSBERG are the preferred choice of the celebrants in a Shotgun Wedding. Etiquette requires the shotgun with full stock to be draped in a white organza sheath and tied with red bows. The survey also tells us Buck shot or number three shot is the preferred round.

A shotgun wedding is a form of forced marriage occasioned sometimes by an unplanned pregnancy or violation of the Laws Of Virginity. Some religions and cultures consider it a moral imperative to marry in such a situation, based on reasoning that premarital sex or out-of-wedlock births are sinful, not sanctioned by law, or otherwise stigmatized.
The phrase is an American colloquialism, though it is also used in other parts of the world. Shotgun weddings have become less common as the stigma associated with out-of-wedlock births has gradually faded and the number of such births has increased; the increasing availability of birth control and abortion, as well as material support to unwed mothers such as welfare has reduced the perceived need for such measures.
Also the availability of cheap overseas ammo has increased the amount of nine-millimeter weddings with the Kalashnikov 7.62 AK series in third place. But, people never cease to amaze me, in Muslin Middle East nations the AK-47, Draganov's, RPG are gaining popularity.
There is nothing prettier than a six month pregnant bride and the two families looking at each other with blood in their eyes. A very colorful combination! I had the pleasure of shooting one of these when I was working for a Wedding Mill in NYC. And the proper dress for the Sullivan Law Violations was the .45 and 9.mm in shoulder holsters under the suit jacket.
DIRTY HARRY VS. COLT .45 WEDDING — It was the Northern version of the Southern style shotgun wedding. The difference? The guns, Colt 1911’s or S&W revolvers were worn under the tuxedos whereas in the South they used garish hip holsters decorated with pearls and sequins for the ladies. Or just slung them over the horses in leather cases.
Modern Shotgun Wedding In the Bronx NY - From the minute I walked in the hall, I knew I could be dead. I had been booked into an Italian (Roman Catholic) Polish-Russian (Eastern Orthodox) wedding. Fact: one half of the room told me that if I spent too much time on the other side of the hall I would be dead. I felt I was living West Side Story while traversing the North-South Korean DMZ.
Then the brain kicked in, why not shoot two weddings here? I just shot twenty-four rolls of 120 films, carefully marked them, family "E and O”.
I was exhausted. These were 120 square format shot on Rollie, Mamiya, Yashica Twin Lens cameras and #5 bulbs. I had scorched fingers for a week. The boss made separate albums for both sides and I got paid double commissions from the shooting and the additional prints. I was really proud of myself.
And the “sellers” really worked them, each side wanted to know what the other ordered and then they increased their order week after week. In the end run it was double the work and triple the commissions.
