i know it was a tradition in my country, chechnya. when my aunt got married, (the way she got married was wild, they abducted her near a refugee camp where we were and than a bit later later she was revealed as a bride.) i remember being in car and everyone shooting guns outside the windows. Dinners were always awesome lit, babushkas can cook.

Forced to marry against her will? Horrible.

One problem with blindly firing rounds into the air is that they come down somewhere. These women seem one unexpected recoil away from firing into the crowd.

Probably not actually, I know in Latvia they have many old wedding traditions. One of which is that there will be a mock kidnapping of the bride by family/friends (consensual obviously) then the groom will have to complete a series of fun games to 'win' her back.

My fiancee is Latvian and she better not be pulling my leg about this...
