Todd Huggins’ new avatar — a forced union (7,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shotgun wedding

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a forced union' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'todd huggins' new avatar' is the wordplay.
'todd huggins' new' can be anagrammed to 'SHOTGUN WEDDING'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for shotgun wedding that I've seen is " Matrimony under duress".)
