    "Why was she not invited if she was a friend of the bride? And why was she there anyways?" asked u/Feather_of_a_Jay.

    "Don't know the details but my cousin and her friend were angry with each other and so my cousin didn't invite her and she came anyway to create a scene." u/SuvenPan clarified.

    Font - Husbandaru • 4d The mom of one of the Bridesmaids got up and yelled "Yeah I object: You fucking stole him from her!" While pointing at the bride. I've known the groom for a long time and by proxy the bride. I am still very good friends with them. I have never seen her more infuriated than at that moment. The bridesmaid got up from her chair and was like "I'm so, so sorry. Let me get her out of here." The bridesmaid and the bride's stepfather escorted the woman out of the wedding and it co

    Font - 1024 hundreddollar • 4d I went to a Catholic wedding where, when the priest asked this question, one of the groomsmen did a VERY loud, long, throat clearing, which got everyone laughing. Everyone except for the bride's elderly Italian Grandmother who marched out of her seat and angrily hit the groomsman with her handbag and shouted at him in Italian! Reply 7.5k

    Font - Bayou Mama • 4d This was in America, and the wedding was in a Buddhist temple. Parents of the groom stood up and objected because they didn't believe the bride was of the same class. They spoke in another language so most of the English speaking guests didn't know they were objecting. My husband was the best man and those closest to the couple knew this might happen. The Buddhist priest said he would handle it if the parents tried anything.

    Font - After the parents spoke for a while the priest said to the groom, "You've heard what your parents had to say, what do you want to do?" The groom replied, "I want to marry my bride." So the priest asked the parents to leave. At this point the rest of the guests are clueing in that this was not a nice part of the ceremony, and that the parents were actually objecting, so, as the parents walked out, some of the guests were berating them saying things like, "You should be ashamed of yourself"

    "Wow. That's fucked. I'm very impressed both that they are obviously happily married and that they decided to allow the father into their lives." said u/RepresentativePin162.

    "If I had to guess, either one of two things happened: A) the mother was the one that was unhappy with it and he just went with it because it's his wife or B) once his wife died, he realized 'oh shit. My wife is gone and now I don't have a kid. I hope they'll take me back. I miss them and this isn't worth it'" said u/-Awesome333-.

    Font - Amaevise 4d ● My husband's first marriage. The brother of the bride stood up and said to my husband "Say no, you can still be happy!" They went through with the marriage, wound up divorcing with a messy break up. Brother in law is still best friends with my husband (as far as he's concerned he gained a brother and lost a sister and is better off for it) and he never lets him forget the fact that he was right and he should have bailed lol.

    Font - FDS_MTG • 4d I had a friend who was a minister, and the subject came up if he asked the question during ceremonies he officiated. He laughed and said no way. He basically tells the couple not to include it because it only invites a moment of anxiety at best, misery at worst. His best story (and one of the reasons he stopped including the question) was a couple where the lead up to the wedding the couple was obviously in love. The bride to be was very smiley and happy. Day of the wedding s

    "Slightly different circumstances, but I know a guy that was the videographer at a wedding where the groom was the one that objected to the wedding at that point. When the priest asked if anyone objected the groom broke down crying and said that he couldn't go through with the wedding. Apparently he had gotten a stripper pregnant, and felt like he had to marry the stripper instead of the bride. He got pulled into a side room by the officiant, his father, and the father of the bride while everyone else (including the bride) stood around awkwardly. A few minutes later the father of the bride came out and told everyone that the ceremony was over and the wedding was off, but that everyone was welcome to go to the reception and enjoy the food. My friend didn't stick around for the reception, so I have no idea how it all turned out. But apparently the bride was understandably not taking it well." said u/The_quest_for_wisdom.

    Font - Rabies182 4d A woman, in her 20s at the time, objected to her mom marrying my uncle. So she started yelling, "Mom don't marry him!" during the ceremony. The ceremony proceeded and some family on the mom's side lead the daughter away to quit interrupting. I don't blame her-my uncle was a lying, lazy bastard. The marriage didn't last. Reply 11.2k

    Font - ibiacmbyww.4d 2 Awards Not quite the question as asked, but too funny to not share: Priest: "Any objections?" Father of the bride: lets out the hardest, loudest, most complex-sounding sneeze I've ever heard in my life, completely with involuntarily saying "ACHOOOO00" Mother of the bride, hammered on champagne: "For fuck's sake, Jerry!" It took a good five minutes for everyone to regain their composure. ... Reply 13.1k

We looked at each other but the minister finished anyway. Divorced within a year. ... Reply 1.6k

    Font - jamesshine 4d Kind of. My uncle was getting married. Small, just a handful of family and a minister. I was videotaping. My grandmother was not into it at all. With each line spoken by the minister, she had a cutting, sarcastic response. I could not believe it. It was so unlike her, When that part came up, she said "I object. But does it really matter? They are going to to do it anyway." The minister just ignored her and proceeded, business as usual. They were divorced within a year. Wish

    Font - Lord_Banana_14. 4d One of my cousins is married to literally one of the kindest and coolest dudes I have ever met. Before the wedding, her little sister was saying how "she's marrying my best friend." At the wedding, when the priest dude asks if anyone objects, the room is dead quiet and all you hear is a little girlish whisper "I do." It was honestly really adorable and we all laughed, and my cousin's husband and her little sister are still best friends. Reply 11.1k Lord_Banana_14 • 4d I

    Font - linux1970. 4d Oldie but a goodie, this happened back in the 70s, this was shared to le by the guy who married my parents. It went something like this: "does anyone object to this union?" "I do! That's my husband!" So they paused the wedding, the bride, groom and the woman objecting went into a small room. The woman who objected provided documentation showing the groom was still legally her husband. Apparently the couple had started divorce proceedings some time earlier but never finished.

    Font - peeweekiwis I worked a wedding where one of the moms objected, but I think the groom knew that the parent was going to say something, so they just responded with, "Oh sit down, (parents name), we knew you didn't like this a year ago and clearly we're not going to change our minds today." The wedding continued like nothing happened, but the mom was lowkey shunned and people avoided her at the reception. 4d ● ... Reply 1.5k

    Font - DannySpud2 . 4d I dunno if it's a UK thing or even just a one specific church thing but I was told by the priest in a rehearsal that if someone objects, even as a joke, the priest is required to pause the ceremony and talk to the objector alone to discuss their concerns and decide if they have a valid objection. Like it's not a fun jokey moment, it's a real legal part of the ceremony. He also said it used to be custom that if you raised an invalid objection you then had to pay for the wed

We were all sitting there like normal people at a normal funeral and she walks up to the casket and starts yelling, "James Lester, raise up!" I didn't know she was there or I would've prepared myself for shenanigans. Also I didn't know my uncle's middle name was Lester, so please imagine the confusion. So
