Sazukari Kon
Yesterday, I introduced you to the Japanese term dekichatta kekkon (できちゃった結婚), which means "shotgun wedding."
However, since the expression '...chatta' (～ちゃった) contains a nuance of "unexpected" or "unintended," dekichatta kekkon does not have a good image.
Because of this, these days people have come to use sazukari kon (授かり婚) instead.
Sazukari (授かり) means "be given/gifted," and kon (婚) is an abbreviation for kekkon (結婚 - "marriage").
That is to say, sazukari kon implies that the marriage is led by a given baby.

授かり婚
昨日は「できちゃった結婚」という言葉を紹介しました。
しかし、「～しちゃった」という表現は「予期しない」というニュアンスを含むことから、「できちゃった結婚」はあまり良いイメージを持っていません。
このため、近年ではこの言葉を「授かり婚」に言い換える動きがあります。
「授かり」は "be given/gifted," 「婚」は "mariage" を意味する「結婚」を略したものです。
すなわち、赤ん坊が授けられて、それをきっかけとした結婚というわけです。
