| Billy Idol – White Wedding Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Actually, they call it a "shotgun" wedding because in popular lore, usually in redneck or hillbilly humor, there is the image of the bride's father holding a shotgun on the groom who got his little girl pregnant, to make sure he marries her and makes an honest woman of her. Google "shotgun wedding" images to see it visualized. "Shotgun wedding" has nothing to do with a "quick marriage," although that's the result. The meaning is that the father of the bride is willing to use a shotgun to make the groom "do the right thing." | |
