a redneck wedding in which at least 1 of3 males attending carries a shotgun to the wedding or some other firearm. Often results in drunken misfires killing guests. Usually held at trailer parks or farms. Often more than one person there is missing a limb from farming accidents, and almost none have all their teef.
Redneck 1:Little Billy Ray Joe Bob Jr. and Amanda Mae Sally Sue are having a shotgun wedding at his mamas trailer lot, hope none of tha guests git shot!
Redneck 2: yep. we betta bring our whiskey and huntin rifles...
When a couple unexpectedly get pregnant and they say, "Why not?" and just move in together and maybe a few years down the road quietly get married and nobody says much aboot it. Eh?
"So how did you two meet?" "Oh, we were drunk and our birth control failed, eh? So we figured we'd have a Canadian shotgun wedding."
"Will there be a lot of people at your wedding?" "No, just immediate family, eh?. Didn't want to make a big fuss 'cause it's a Canadian shotgun wedding."
When a friend of yours thinks a great idea to get married, though months into it realizes it is absolutely horrendous and awful, but he can't get out of it because there is a child on the way.
Person 1: Hey, can you believe what happened to Kent? Just a shame...
Person 2: Who gives a crap. He had his chance to get out of this reverse shotgun wedding, but he's screwed now...forever...
A rushed marriage that crumbles to pieces after a couple of months. Derived from a "shotgun wedding" where the bride and groom are forced to marry due to an expectant child. In a reverse shotgun wedding, the couple is rushed amongst themselves and the whole thing blows up in their face.
