A salute to the bridal couple

BANG, BANG, BANG! Together with your friends you fire away – in the air of course, as you don't want to hit anything. The rifle shots announce the arrival of the bridal couple. Everything shows that all eyes will be on them today. Their chairs are garnished with velvet cushions. The bride is wearing an extra decorative cap over her ear iron. The groom smokes his finest pipe. A salute like this is an indispensable part of the tradition on this day. Fortunately, you know exactly how the double-barrelled shotgun (24) works. Judging from the many traces of use and repair on it, it must be very old. You and your father regularly go hunting to prevent wild animals from causing damage to the crops in the fields. You shoot with hail. Hares for example. They will eat really anything! But knowing that accidents can happen, you are always very careful with weapons.
