Welcome back online ladies. Weddings have so much diversity and emotion tied to them. From all the planning, the invitations, having everyone you know and love together for one event celebrating your love, it's a lot to take in. Having both sides of the families there can also be quite a mess. There's a myriad of dramatic situations that come up during weddings due to this clash of personalities. It's almost like living in a movie. 

Speaking of movies, we all love a rom com, where someone so gracefully and romantically stands up and objects to an unreasonable wedding that we all agree shouldn't be going on. From Shrek to The Graduate, the wedding objection takes its shape in all kinds of movies, and we eat it all up. But who has ever seen a wedding objection in real life? Not too many people I presume…but for those who have seen one, boy do they have a juicy story to tell. Here's to hilarious first accounts of wedding objections, cheers.

    maeveomaeve • 22h ago Incredibly anti-climatic, an ex-boyfriend stood up and said he was still in love with the bride so the wedding couldn't go ahead. Officant said that wasn't a valid reason, he sat back down.

    curtludwig 15h ago I was shooting a wedding video, the preacher gets to that part and just as he says "Or forever hold your peace" there was a HUGE peal of thunder.

    Lighting had hit a TV tower on the other side of the valley. I'd seen the strike and had just enough time to think "thats gonna be loud" and cover my ears.

    After the thunder died away there was a long pause and the preacher said "Well thats never happened before." It was awesome. AFAIK they're still married....

    ligmasweatyballs... 19h ago I saw this once. The pastor is asking this and people are looking around 2/3s of the way back is a very pregnant young lady standing up. People start to turn to look at her. She say "I'm sorry, I have to pee" That was as a

    John McClanes Pe... 22h ago There wasn't an objection, but my cousin's rehearsal dinner was nuts. The bride and the maid of honor were both pregnant by the groom and the best. man.

    But vice versa of what you think. It all came to a head because the best man spoke up that the wedding was a bad idea.

    ijustwanttogotoj... • 17h ago The groom's Dad stood up and loudly said, "It's not too late, son!" right as the bride was coming down the aisle. She sobbed the whole way down and the show went on. They're divorced now.

    Particular These7... • 17h ago So kinda, but not really. I was maid of honor at my best friend's wedding, and her dad had some mental health issues along with a tendency to be annoying.

    I knew that when the groom had asked her dad for permission to marry her, he had technically said no. So we were all on pins and needles a bit.

    The time came for the "does anyone object" question, and the dad steps up to speak, and I watch my friend's face go completely ashen and I'm ready to throw up or throw hands or something.

    And the dad says, "growing up, [bride's name] always hated this song, and we always joked that we'd sing it at her wedding, so here it is!" And he and her mother proceed to sing the song, while I bore a hole in his face with my eyes and a few

    Bobdehn 16h ago Funny story: my oldest sister was getting married for the third time. The first two were big weddings, but this one was small, just immediate family. The "rehearsal" was immediately before the ceremony the pastor came -

    out to talk us through what would happen and when, and what our cues for participation would be. At one point he said "And here, I will ask if you will love and support them as a couple, and you respond..."

    From the front row, Dad boomed "NO!" The pastor looked stricken. Dad explained "She's 42 years old. She can support herself." Family, include the bride, laughed. The pastor then explained he was

    talking about spiritual support, not financial. Which, of course, Dad knew fully well. Cut to the actual ceremony, about 15 minutes later. The pastor was actually wincing as he came up to the fateful

    question. "Will you love and support Judith and Clark in their lives together?" The relief was palpable as everyone said "yes." But then the pastor realized that there was another

    question right after this one that he forgot about earlier. Again, you could see it on his face as he made a decision. His next line went like this:

    "Isthereanyoneherewhoobje ctstothisunion? Dearlybeloved,letuspray." I was cracking up (as quietly as a could) for the rest of the service. And Dad had an impish smile all day.

    Oh yes, the best part of the ceremony was the amateur bagpipe player who couldn't keep all of his chanters going, so when he played Amazing Grace at the end, he'd have to hit the bag repeatedly, making it go WAAAMP each time.
