Description

Jeanie Johnson brings an unusual story from Glengormley on Good Evening Ulster. While gunshots would normally cause alarm, the local police remain unfazed. Why? Because the culprits are a group of cowboys - well, sort of. These country and western enthusiasts have turned their friend's wedding into a Wild West showdown, complete with a staged bank robbery.

What began as a suggestion to host a Western-style wedding spiraled into something much bigger, with one member narrowly escaping a mock hanging, thanks to his soon-to-be bride. After some light-hearted theatrics, the couple traded cowboy boots for more traditional attire in the church ceremony that followed.
