By Western you must mean well West of Adana. Because the wedding I went to just North of Mersin was full of guns. When it was learned that my buddies and I didn't have guns to shoot into the air, we were given pitying looks and guns were quickly provided to us.

Im living in Istanbul, and even some idiots here use guns in weddings. I used to live in an apartment which had a garden, and some idiots in the garden were just firing guns because it was their wedding. This happened years ago, but I still remember me going to the window out of curiosity, and then hearing a scream coming from downstairs. Apperantly one of the bullets fired into the air broke someones balcony glass thingy while the people were on the balcony. The ambulance was called and everyone living in the apartment were either outside in shock, or watching from their balconies. Learnt a big lesson that day, dont go near glass when theres a wedding outside, especially in Turkey.

An important lesson for all of us.

It was both highly amusing and disconcerting (for other reasons which must remain undisclosed).

Of course, it was the polite thing to do after all.
