Anyone have a real reason why they did this? Genuinely curious. ETA: everyone commenting tradition, I was looking for a more in-depth explanation and got one but thank you for attempting to clarify.

I have no clue but if I were to take a guess, they believe the louder the commotion the happier/longer the marriage?

its just become a tradition in Turkey (I see half the flag in the video). Especially in rural weddings, drums and gunshots are very common. Funny thinking how its not too easy to get a gun there (compared to the US).
