...because there were rifles and pistols there, too.
When I got married, one thing I didn't want was just a bunch of the normal boring american-gothic style wedding photos. You know, "bride and groom standing with bride's parents", "bride and groom standing with groom's parents and sibs", "bride and groom and a scenic park bench, with [relative of choice]" ad nauseam.
So since my wedding was held at my house (which simplified the logistical requirements), I asked the photographer if she would take a couple of photos with the entire wedding party armed to the teeth. She jumped all over it (always looking for interesting stuff for her portfolio).
Many of the people in the wedding are not shooters, so I took two of the groomsmen who are shooters, and we triple-checked and cleared each piece before handing it out. One of the kids (the young boy) we gave a checked-and-cleared BB gun, instead of a real firearm.
That's me with the Bushy XM17S. My lady-wife is carrying my Kel-Tec P32 (and perspective makes it look like she's covering me with the muzzle -- she's not). If you look closely, you can see a couple of Mossy shotguns, an AR-15, and maybe a Glock. The girl in the foreground (my stepdaughter) is holding a Savage .22WMR.
So. My wedding photo:
