Didn't the same thing just happen to an American couple?

Perhaps people will start realising that posing with loaded guns is a bad idea.

Gives a whole new meaning to shotgun weddings... even though they had a rifle.

Pointing a loaded gun at someone. Guess you really can't fix stupid people.

This one's easy: if he didn't make sure they weren't loaded, that his own damned fault. Sorry, but that's just DUMB. That, and ensuring the B/G werent actually resting their fingers on the trigger, but on the guards.

In italy its very common to celebrate a wedding by firing shots in the air. Tragic accident, but in all honesty like most people here stated its very very stupid thing to do.

I've never understood cultures that celebrate this way, is this the way cheap hosts clear out all of the guests part way through the reception so as to avoid paying for more food? After all what goes up must come down.

True. Why even have the bullets in the guns? It's not like they'll be in the photograph. Oh well, that's the kinda thing you can only do once...
