No gun at our wedding, but just want to point out that the bride stands to the left in order to leave your right hand friend to draw your weapon should you need to defend her.

I wrote out my congratulations on your engagement, but then realized that it might be a hypothetical future and not a definite one at this point with the way you worded it. If the date isn't yet set, you might have a different gun by then. And if it is, congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! May you live out the rest of your days in peace and happiness together!

I didn't need to be armed. Last time I got married it was 1979 and she was pregnant. Her dad supplied shot gun coverage. :shock:

I was 17 when I got hitched up. I wasn't "legally" able to do any of the fun stuff yet. :angel:

I carried my normal setup on my wedding day - Hi-Power OWB @ 3:30 and LCP pocket-carried.

I did forgo the usual belt-hung 2-mag carrier, as it filled out my waist a little too much for the guayabera I was wearing. I carried a spare in my pocket, instead.

Had I the choice, I might have carried something a little more fancy, like a stainless/polished 1911. I don't have one of those, and that wasn't in the wedding budget. ;-)

I don't know where I could hide my snubbie in a wedding dress and still be able to reach it. :shock:

It's an interesting challenge. Maybe that explains why some bouquets are so large. :headscratch
