Three weeks into it is still fast to get the shotgun, isn't it?

Right. Note to self: be very careful once I start dating. Shotguns are bad wedding accessories.

The shotguns traditionally show up on the bride's side of the aisle.

There's proper etiquette even for shotgun weddings?

Doesn't make 'em any less tacky.

And I wouldn't want Dad to go have to buy a shotgun, anyway.

Well....the reason the shotguns are there is that the bride's menfolk are making sure the groom does right by her....if ya know what I mean.

Yeah, I know. ;-)

I can just picture some fussy wedding planner tryin' to make sure the boys with the guns are in their correct place in line, that's all. ;-)

Aha, I see Msdrby hasn't regaled ya'll with details of Operation Gut Suck. To use the highly precise technical term, I had a gallbladder-ectomy. Spiderboy took this picture yesterday. The bruises are more yellow and cool looking today.

I think the boys with the shootin' irons are in the front row....or made to be the ushers.

Nope...my apartment is having a me-ectomy, and I'm obsessing at least as bad as the girls are about their job interviews.

PE...seriesly. And milk it for all its worth. ("I can't do that, honey...I've had my guts hoovered!")
