A term for a forced marriage after an unexpected pregnancy.

Originating from when the father of the pregnant girl would force the baby's daddy to marry his daughter at gunpoint. This gun was most likely a shotgun as many fathers in the United States were hunters.

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."

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.
Person 1: Did you hear about Kent's marriage? What a disaster!

Person 2: Well what do you expect? Everyone knew it was a reverse shotgun wedding.
