You know what they always say at weddings: "Speak now, or forever hold your peace." In most cases, the phrase is just ornamental. In most cases there's nothing to speak about, because only the newlyweds' opinions should matter on their special day. Even if you don't think the couple are right for each other, it's common practice to hold your tongue and let them make their own poor decisions at the altar.
In the olden days, people were asked to object to a wedding if someone suddenly found out the bride and groom were cousins, for example. Back in the days before the cars or the internet, a couple might not know about that until a great-aunt showed up to spoil the wedding for everyone. Basically, asking if anyone objected to the marriage had an important purpose in the past. Today, it seems like the objectors are scorned exes, loud children, dads who can't resist making a dad joke, and sometimes even animals!
These people shared their stories of the times they've actually seen a wedding guest object. Some stories are funny, while others are just crazy, and you can read them all below. My favorite is the seagull story: it's not every day a birdo chooses to interrupt your big day.
