The announcement wouldn't make it legal. Open carry is still illegal in Texas unless you're on property you own or control, are traveling, or are engaged in a sporting activity commonly requiring use of a handgun.
True enough, so then have it at a friend's or relative's country property. It would still be the talk of the town for years to come! :mrgreen:

Re: Wedding Carry... what to do?

Well, here is my question:

If your fiance wants you to carry, several others are carrying, and you want to carry, I don't understand the problem. I'd buy a belly band for under the cumberbun, and, if the huggers objected, tough. ;-)

Personally, I like the idea of everyone carrying outside, if there will be no alcohol. Wouldn't it be fun to make that part of your announcement that all, who are licensed to carry, may do so in the open at your wedding? It would be a wedding that they'd talk about forever and never forget! :cool: Wonder if that would freak out your Pastor? Guess you'd have to run that one past him, first, but it would certainly make a statement.

Maybe, I'm getting a bit cranky in my old age, but I'm really tired of bending over backward to please everybody, who has this little problem or that little suggestion or another getting hurt over any little thing. So, I'd just do whatever makes my wedding special to me and my fiance, and the rest could like it or leave. The wedding is for you ... not them. So, if they hug you and feel a gun, and complain, tell them that is the feel of freedom, upon which this country was founded and blessed, and if they don't like it, go to someone else's wedding! ;-) Well, it's probably not a good idea to say that to them, but it would really feel good, wouldn't it? Oh, well......... :roll:

Just remember that this is your wedding, and you have the right to make it special to reflect the likes and interests of you and your fiance, without having to bend over backwards to accommodate folks, who "might" complain. Have fun!
