My step brother and I were in the wedding party. He was about 6, I was 10. The preacher asks if anyone objects and my brother raises his hand so very politely. My dad asks why, and my step brother replies, "because I want you to promise to take me fishing whenever I want, first."

Objections At Weddings Actually Happen In Real Life And Here Are 30 Stories That Folks In This Online Group Shared When my cousin got married to her wife, her parents, grandparents and a few other older family members stood up and walked out. They didn't say anything or try to stop the wedding, it was just a symbol of their disproval. My cousin was pretty devastated because she thought the attendance meant they had changed their mind and wanted to support her, but it was just a trick.

Immediately, his son (who was the man of honor) yelled at him to sit down. To his credit he did. For about 12 seconds then stood up again. He objected because there was a big f**king storm coming up the driveway and about to smack the ceremony and all of our hurrying couldn't beat it. My wife made it inside before getting drenched...no one else did. Got married inside instead.

Objections At Weddings Actually Happen In Real Life And Here Are 30 Stories That Folks In This Online Group Shared I grew up in a super fundamentalist Christian community. My best friend fell in love, but her parents were pissed because they wanted to do an arranged marriage for her, so they locked her in the house for months. Finally I helped her escape and she got married in a very small ceremony.

She used to be very close to her brother, so she invited him. He was also angry about her eloping, so he wore all black, including black sunglasses, and stood there looking pissed the whole time.

We specifically asked the pastor to not do the "does anyone object" thing because we didn't want to give anyone the chance. When her brother realized the pastor wasn't going to say it, he tried to stop the wedding anyway. My brothers had to escort him out.

The whole thing was f**king heartbreaking.

Objections At Weddings Actually Happen In Real Life And Here Are 30 Stories That Folks In This Online Group Shared My cousin was marrying a Korean guy she went to grad school with. His family had come in from abroad and were sitting all together on one side of the room. When they got to the objection part, this Korean girl yells out "NO!" and stands up and starts screaming in Korean at the groom. As everyone is trying to figure out what the hell is going on, an old lady calmly walks up to the girl and slaps her face. The girl starts sobbing as some more older women grab her and pull her outside.

The explanation was that she was just a drunk friend that didn't want him marrying an American. Found out later that the girl was actually a childhood sweetheart that was screaming how the groom promised to marry her-- which was awkward since the two were related to each other in some way (was not quite sure how). Anyway, cousin and her husband are quite happy, so no harm in the end.

Possibly. But why would she be at the wedding? I've met couples that sleep around while the other is out of town, it is an agreement they have. The extra gf/bf gets dropped when the main SO comes back. Sometimes they are in denial and will cause drama. Happened with my husband's EX-FWB right after we got married.

Objections At Weddings Actually Happen In Real Life And Here Are 30 Stories That Folks In This Online Group Shared As the story goes, my parents’ wedding was officiated by my mother’s grandfather. When asked if there were any objections to my parents’ wedding, my father’s parents rose and stood silently. This was not a surprise; my mother and my father’s parents did NOT get along at all. Everyone knew this, so it wasn’t a surprise.

In response to their silent disapproval, my great-grandfather lauded their silent standing by saying something along the lines of “Ah, the parents of the groom have risen in support of the couple. Thank you!”

It’s unclear how the attendees responded, but my paternal grandparents left silently at that point. I never met them, but I think I’m glad I didn’t

Objections At Weddings Actually Happen In Real Life And Here Are 30 Stories That Folks In This Online Group Shared I was at the wedding of that rare beast - a work colleague who was actually a good friend as well. Only a couple of work people were invited by her, including a guy we'll call Matt, because that is his name. Matt and the bride had dated for a while a few years ago, but had remained good friends after.

So the ceremony starts, no sign of Matt... we get to the bit 'does anyone have any lawful objections etc' and the church goes quiet, then the heavy wooden door to the church door bangs open and there is Matt, looking red faced, flustered and upset and you could see the thoughts run through everyone's mind... 'Oh s**t'... and Matt limped awkwardly to a pew in the back and sat down quietly.

He'd overslept and twisted his ankle running to the church, that was all - so no objection, no drama, but damn we all though for a second it was going to kick off. My friend the bride even saw the funny side, about 3 months later.

My older sister torments me about the second wedding I went to as a kid (first being my parents wedding).

Apparently attention seeking 4 year old me thought this gap of silence needed to be filled with my best cookie monster impression, so during the silence I yelled "Cookie Monster om nom nom nom."

Obviously everyone looked around at me in shock for breaking the silence, before the bride and most of the congregation burst out laughing.

This is the only wedding in my extended family that ended in divorce (4-5 years down the line) and as such I am one of the people that get stared at everytime this moment happens in a wedding. The oracle known as Cookie Monster.

I had one objection at a wedding, where the person who spoke claimed the groom was already married. That’s enough to stop the wedding. Turned out they were Serbian (which I knew) and didn’t know our legal system. The groom hadn’t realised the church wedding was also the legal wedding, so they’d married each other in a civil ceremony a few days before. That was fun to sort out!

Objections At Weddings Actually Happen In Real Life And Here Are 30 Stories That Folks In This Online Group Shared I was at a wedding where there were three parties: the bride's, the groom's, and the groom's mother's. She hated the bride, thought she was not good enough for her son, etc. I was friends with both bride and groom, and they had to invite the groom's mom and dad, but they had the priest avoid the "Objection" part of the ceremony.

At the reception, there was a moment where the groom's father danced with the bride, and a few minutes later she stormed off the dance floor. The groom's dad had offered her $5,000 cash to walk away right then and there and have the marriage annulled. The reception featured a flambeau entrée, and everybody was watching the groom's mother, half expecting her to grab one of the flaming skewers from one of the waiters and hurl it at the bride.

They're still married 30 years later and have two kids, but I believe they are estranged from the groom's family for some reason...

Objections At Weddings Actually Happen In Real Life And Here Are 30 Stories That Folks In This Online Group Shared It wasn't verbal, and no one will admit it was 100% on purpose.

My husband's grandmother intentionally made him an hour late to our wedding, hoping we would just call it off.

She gave him directions to her timeshare that was her gift to us for the wedding night - except she conveniently gave him the wrong one. The one that was on the other side of the city from both the wedding and the correct one, and that he had to cross Interstate 4 (one of the worst highways in Florida, and possibly America) during 5pm traffic on a weekday to get to.

Everyone chalked it up to "oh, she's a senile old lady, she just got mixed up."

No she wasn't, and no she didn't. She was only senile when she could use it as a cover for being malicious. I could detail many other examples, but I won't.

What happened? The wedding started an hour late, so we lost an hour of the reception, and we're still married 13 years later.

As the priest went to the objection part everyone in her side of the family looked at me and this made everyone else look at me too.

I was weirded and later learned that everyone thought I had a crush on her and would be injection to the wedding. She was a friend and I had no romantic feelings for her and I was dating her sister at the time (no one knew). She's still married to him and they have kids so I guess it's a good marriage.

Distant relative's wedding, she was marrying a foreigner and the wedding in her home country was just a formality as she was already legally married. We get to the objection part and some dude screams out and starts sobbing and yelling at the bride on how she was a wh**e for not marrying him.

Turns out the object was an ex she had before moving away, the ex was a piece of s**t abuser who left her to be a movie star but became a drug abuser. He was pissed she was getting married to someone else. Here's the biter her family brought that guy to the wedding knowing this was going to happen.

To those asking and getting all sus, I'm okay I genuinely did not have any romantic feelings for her. It was weird how they all looked at me but i thought I must've carted out loud or was saying what I was thinking.

We all looked and my Nan was sat there, arms crossed and a face that would freeze the deepest pits of hell. Turned out she objected as my aunt was a better cook. Took a few months but they broke the ice when a big surprise party came up and my aunt asked my nan to help her cater for it. They made awesome food together and did so for a few decades. Grandad passed and aunty did the catering for it with nans blessing and aunty had nan move in not long after. My nan left my aunty with a book filled with all the recipes they had done together and a note saying 'The best part of my life was in the kitchen with you.

When my great grandfather married my great grandmother his parents objected because she was a working woman. My great grandmother had become a war time nurse and then continued to be a nurse until she got married. My great great grandparents threatened to disinherit my great grandfather if he married her. They came to an agreement where my great grandparents could keep the farm only if they gave my great great grandparents their first born son. They agreed and that is why my great uncle grew up a mile down the road with his grandparents instead of with everyone else.

That's... kind of messed up. Who would give up their child for land? Also, was the great great grandfather Rumpelstiltskin?

I'm a JP in Ct, I do weddings all the time. And that 'objection' bit isn't in any of the paperwork we use. And I have to say, I've never been to a wedding where it was used. And I'm old. Where is this awful custom still being used? Is it a certain religious sect? A certain state law?

It persists in some religious services, but it is a bit of a carry-over from the old custom of posting (or reading) the Banns several weeks before the wedding. The purpose was to let people know the couple was getting married so that if there was a prior marriage (remember, no divorce in general) the new marriage could be stopped. The truth is that only a legitimate, legal objection was to be entertained, although in some cases trying to marry outside of your religion would qualify. In the modern era it's mainly just an anachronism which is intended to indicate by silence that all in attendance are supportive. As a pastor I have never, and will never, include it. I also will not use the "obey" part of the vows.

It's part of UK law. The celebrant is also an officer of the crown in the UK, so the question has to be asked in public at the ceremony otherwise the marriage can't legally go ahead.

I got married in a Catholic church in 1999 and it was optional if we wanted it in or not. We chose not to have it. Was nice to have that option though.

I've never heard it at a wedding as adult (and don't remember the ones when I was a kid), so my guess is it's not much of a thing anymore.

My Anglican wedding had it. But that was 1994.

I guess most people don't know this but an objection at a wedding is not quite the threat it's perceived to be. When I asked the priest "what happens if someone objects" she said that she and the person go have a quiet conversation elsewhere for a couple minutes and then we proceed.

My parents had a very quickly put together wedding as my dad was in the military and was being shipped out in less than a week. It was a very small wedding where my dad met his soon to be brother-in-law for the first time in the church office. My mom's little nephew's had to be at the wedding as the wedding dinner was being prepared back at the house and they would be in the way. There were maybe 8 people there. It just echoed in the church. One of the nephew's, just a little guy, could not pronounce my mom's name, so he made up his own for her. Almost empty church, the minister asks for objections. Her little nephew said very loudly "What ya doin' Auntie Dodo?" Everyone broke up laughing.

Why does anybody have this stupid text in their ceremony? If there is a real, important reason to object, do it before everything is arranged and the wedding is already in progress - if you want to be petty, funny, dislike or want to declare your everlasting love for either bride or groom just STFU. Thank you very much.

I wholeheartedly agree. I think it acts as more of a reminder to the attendees that they shouldn't object (unless abuse) to the marriage after it is already done.

Some context. In the UK, Weddings conducted in church are legal ceremonies. The celebrant is acting as an officer of the crown. The wedding certificate is a legal document signed (until very recently) physically in the church during the ceremony. As such, this question must be asked publically of the congregation and the couple before the marriage takes place. The correct wording is 'If anyone here knows a reason IN LAW why this man and this woman should not be wed, you are to declare it now'. The only reasons acceptable are legal ones, and if made the whole ceremony has to stop while the objection is investigated. To prevent this happening on the day, Banns are read at each of the couple's home churches and also at the church they are to be wed in each of the three Sundays prior to the wedding. This gives a chance for anyone in the local community to go 'hang on a moment', before the big day happens (a bit redundant now since we all live in towns and don't know our neighbours)

I always think the 'any objections' part should be left aside because it gives nosey parkers an opportunity to get the attention they so desperately desire. If there are legal objections it's the "officiant's" job to find out, e.g. if the person is already married or if they are a foreigner who is attempting a marriage of convenience just to get a passport etc. (Yes that often happens here as many other africans try to come live here due to the higher quality of life -- we have something like 5% of our population as immigrants from the rest of the continent).
