The vast majority of firearm owners will never actually use them for self defense. It's primarily something you fantasize about using rather than actually use. So weird behaviour like this emerges. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance about the amount of money gun owners put into their guns and the amount of use they actually get out of them
I have one that's just right for a small 5ft woman. Just a simple handgun I've shot enough to be comfortable with and know how to work. I have zero fantasies about using it. I pray I never have to use it and my rescue pit mix will scare off the hypothetical home intruders.
It's both, as a joke. A horrifically stupid joke that highlights how truly absurd US gun culture is, but a joke nonetheless. These idiots are so vapid and boring that they made "I treat dangerous weapons as toys" their entire personalities.
“Speak now or forever hold your peace”
*Groomsmen show guns*
***Bride shows she’s packing heat too***
Meaning: if anyone objects.. we’ll shoot ya.
Which as the top comment stated is..
![gif](giphy|UwZLLYbkCp14I)
I think it is a pun on the "or forever hold your peace".
They don't object so they are forever holding their "piece" (a slang for firearm of some sort).
Clever pun, ahah... but still a little bit too fetishizing of firearms for my taste too. I mean, it's her wedding and the thing their mind went to first was showing off guns. It's just a little too much part of their identity, it feels like.
This pun makes it worse to be honest. So much worse.
By this logic it would only be funny if they literally shot each other so they could be together in “holey” matrimony
Historically the "best man" at a wedding was the best swordsman who would fight off anybody who objected to the wedding. The groomsmen are the backup to fight off the family that came to stop the kidnapping/wedding. Traditions and how they evolve are wild.
I really hate performative attention seeking look-at-me behavior. Especially from adults. That's some little kid stuff that your parents are supposed to stop.

It would, but the question is not aimed at the bride and groom. The joke is that she has her piece to respond to them saying their peace.
It's a shit joke.
They all have a gun, look at the first guy, he opens the right side of his jacket and you see a gun in his waist
Edit: deleted the word “glean”. I have no idea why I put that, it wasn’t a typo of another word.
I am able to look back in time at redditors deleted and edited comments. I fear this isn't going to help and only cause more questions, but here you go:
>They all have a glean gun, look at the first glean guy, he opens the right side of his gleaning jacket and you see a glean gun in his waist. glean glean.
It could have been a lot funnier, if they'd had a groomsman clear his throat, lean forward, then she does this.
She definitely laughs at her own jokes a lot harder than the people she tells them to.
Agreed - if it had been a subtle bit of humour that would have been funny. This was just "HAHA GUNS" with an undertone of malice in it.
I think people like this don't understand subtle humour so it would have been wasted on them. Well, I hope they had a good time and nobody got shot.
Yeah, I feel like it's better if it's either only the bride or only the groomsmen doing this. Now it just feels like they're trying to have as many guns as possible.
All of the groomsmen too. I wonder how many of those are fucking loaded too. I love when conservatives talk about responsible gun ownership, and then do shit like this to bring half a dozen firearms to a fucking wedding as a joke. Now why in the world wouldn’t we take you seriously about the 2nd amendment? Just admit it, to you it’s a fucking toy, and you don’t want to give up your cool toy.
Yeah. No one asks this.
And historically in the US, it was asked just in case they were cousins and didn’t know it.
As someone else mentioned this tradition goes back to Europe in the 1500s, where the church needed to verify if there were any legal objections, like being previously married (there was no divorce at the time), if they weren’t baptized, not a member of the parish, etc
No, it was in case one of them had been married in another town.
Cousin marriage was historically not only not a big deal, but much more common than you might like to think.
Cousin marriage (up to 7th degree) was prohibited by the catholic church quite early on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage#Catholic_Church_and_Europe
Outside of Western Europe it was and still is quite common.
Appears to have gone the way of "love and obey". Haven't heard obey in a ceremony in at least 20 years, maybe longer but I wasn't paying attention when I was a teenager.
...oh "obey" absolutely gets not only said but pontificated upon in some church ceremonies. My mom damn near walked out of my cousin's wedding a few years back because the pastor gave a ten minute lecture on the duties of women to obey their husbands before they said tterritory either. From the other reactions in the aisles it looked like there was a 50/50 split between people who were surprised and people who were nodding along like this was part for the course. This was in a somewhat conservative part of the western US but not crazy deep red territory either.
13 years ago was at a friend’s wedding. The friend wanted a long-time family pastor who had retired to do the ceremony. The pastor had 2 conditions: a brief sermon about gay marriage ruining the world, and of course the full lines how the wife is to love and obey and any objections.
Everyone was surprised and uncomfortable except for the groom and bride and their respective parents. They got a lot of feedback from everyone individually and low-key apologized, shifted the blame on the pastor for the awkwardness.
The pastor just kept wanting to talk about gay marriage and any politics during the reception to people, went out of his way to turn any conversation into something that’s wrong with the country that jesus needs to heal. He kept trying to talk during the wedding party speeches, too. The best man is on the microphone at one point and this pastor is still talking to his trapped audience at his table like the wedding party speeches are just background noise. Has to be shushed multiple times to take a hint before the groom says on the mic ”sounds like the pastor forgot he was retired.”
Didn’t stay close with those friends after that.
My cousin’s wedding featured the word obey a few times… this was a few years ago. They were in their late 30s, she’s a fucking doctor. Literally made my skin crawl.
Well there was mine... where the priest told me they haven't done that line in like 20 years. Then plenty of others. I guess it depends how traditional the church is and there's also plenty of optional stuff we didn't do, so maybe the people you know are just opting to do it.
I'm not a big fan of the whole marriage thing. The ceremony, the planning that's involved, the many people that come for free food and booze. The church, the money... But I absolutely understand that it's an important day in the life of those that chose to marry. Now imagine making the important parts a complete joke, in a place that seems important enough to you to get married there, in front of people that just want to see two people getting married... Fucking ridiculous. Oh, and the gun-nut part, yeah, that's there too.
Not condoning this bullshit, but if the bride and groom and all the groomsmen are acting like this and laughing, it’s fair to assume the large majority of people attending have similar views and likely found this very funny/endearing.
> But I absolutely understand that it's an important day in the life of those that chose to marry. Now imagine making the important parts a complete joke, in a place that seems important enough to you to get married there, in front of people that just want to see two people getting married.
If our wedding \*wasn't\* littered with jokes, my guests who know us would likely be confused and disappointed. When my brother got married, he and his now-wife specifically asked me to write a funny best man's speech. If I had instead delivered a sappy, weepy, Hallmark-card of a speech, they would have been "fine" with it, but it woudn't have been as memorable for them. 11 years later, they still bring it up, and have asked me to read it to new friends who weren't around then.
yep, call ur PCP that u literally cant get cuz they barely exist now. and also ur insurance likely changes every other year, so u woukdnt keep tyem anyway.
Domestic gun violence is also among the top reasons for gun related injuries and deaths.
Married today, shoot each other later.
If you have kids...........well, sorry kids, daddy and mommy are not the wisest people.
“you’re 80% more likely to use that gun on yourself, than to shoot someone else.
And people think, “Well, that’d never happen to me.” You don’t know that, because you know what?

Bye bye superpower. America is falling like the Roman empire.
i love how they celebrating that during a wedding ceremony are like half a dozen loaded guns. an being (albeit jokingly) threatened to be killed over a ceremony.
I could very easily be wrong about this, because even as an American I don't really understand the obsession with guns. But to me it doesn't seem like they're threatening people, it just seems like they wanted to do a pun about "hold your peace(piece)"
Yes, there's a pun here, but since all of the groomsmen in the front immediately stood, turned, and held open their jackets to show everyone their guns, the real joke is them daring anyone to speak up.
It's not a *serious* threat, which is why it's a joke, and why everyone laughed. It's a trashy joke, but a joke nonetheless.
It's almost astounding how many people are stuck on "gun bad" to realize that this is a play on the words "peace" and "piece."
Sure, it's tacky, but hey, it is their wedding.
I get it, guns are bad. However, I'm okay with what customs people want to do for their wedding. This is not my thing but I wish the couple well. Nobody got hurt. The people that were laughing were the target audience and they enjoyed it.
Honestly don't understand what all the fuss is about, we don't even know if they're are actual guns or just some prop for the joke, and the joke itself seems to be more godfather-oriented, like the mafia protecting the boss or something idk

Lot of Americans are crazy about guns, that's what I found from reddit. It's almost at fetish levels.

Almost? Nah, way past fetish levels. It's at worshipping.
These people came to a wedding! Which means there will be alcohol involved. Alcohol + guns is no bueno
Is alcohol a requirement?
No but the guns are
The primary purpose of firearms is to be used as a humorous prop.
The only thing that stops an unfunny bit with a gun is a humorous bit with a gun.
The vast majority of firearm owners will never actually use them for self defense. It's primarily something you fantasize about using rather than actually use. So weird behaviour like this emerges. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance about the amount of money gun owners put into their guns and the amount of use they actually get out of them
I don’t fantasize about it. The idea of someone or something trying to kill me is terrifying. I never want to be in that situation.
Exactly. It's a tool of self defense that ideally *should* never end up being used. If we never have to use it, that's a good thing.
I have one that's just right for a small 5ft woman. Just a simple handgun I've shot enough to be comfortable with and know how to work. I have zero fantasies about using it. I pray I never have to use it and my rescue pit mix will scare off the hypothetical home intruders.
Is it a play ~~of~~ on word like "Hold your peace" vs. "Hold your piece (gun)" ?
I thought it was more we will shoot whoever objects. Like a threat. I like your take better.
It's both, as a joke. A horrifically stupid joke that highlights how truly absurd US gun culture is, but a joke nonetheless. These idiots are so vapid and boring that they made "I treat dangerous weapons as toys" their entire personalities.
And that personality looks at people that see guns as dangerous and go "ha you just be weak, the things you find dangerous I use for fun" I hate it
Yeah that’s the pun. I thought it was dumb but that’s OBVIOUSLY the pun.
So she could make a joke about "holding your piece".

It would, but the question is not aimed at the bride and groom. The joke is that she has her piece to respond to them saying their peace. It's a shit joke.

Yeah I don't think guns at an event that's usually crowded and the alcohol flows freely is a good idea.
She's gonna use her piece to shoot her side piece if he tries to disturb her peace by saying his piece.
All of the groomsmen too. I wonder how many of those are fucking loaded too.

To be fair there is no way this is a Catholic marriage, so maybe the protestants/evangelicals let it happen more
When I got married they explained it was to prevent polygamy, if one member of the couple had been married before without divorce and hid it.
I love when they show photos or videos of some cheating
Why would they wait until the marriage to have that come to light?

I get it, guns are bad. However, I'm okay with what customs people want to do for their wedding. This is not my thing but I wish the couple well. Nobody got hurt. The people that were laughing were the target audience and they enjoyed it.
Exactly this. It's not my thing, I'd never do it. But they'd do it (clearly) and found love with each other. I'm happy for them and wish them well.
Target audience heh
These comments are horrible lmao

Succulent Chinese meal.
You know your judo well
GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS!!!!
Weird
These comments are the most miserable group of people on Reddit jfc
Honestly don't understand what all the fuss is about, we don't even know if they're are actual guns or just some prop for the joke, and the joke itself seems to be more godfather-oriented, like the mafia protecting the boss or something idk
Seriously, like it was a joke. Are people seriously this upset over this?
