We've all seen the movies where there's a dramatic 'I object!' right before a couple gets married. Usually it's a male character, the good guy, who the audience is rooting for over the acknowledged groom, but it isn't always. Real life isn't always like the movies; sometimes things happen that you can't believe you're seeing with your own eyes. The person who may object to the wedding, or at least reveal some deep secret about the couple, isn't always the second man in question. 

This brings us to the Reddit thread. On this couple's wedding day, things get a little uncomfortable when it's speech giving time. The maid of honor reveals a little too much about her relationship with the bride. She even goes as far to get emotional, saying that she can't provide the same to the bride as the groom can. Obviously the guests gasp in horror. Gossip fills the air, as the mouths of guests can't believe what they've heard. Needless to say, choose your maid of honor wisely.

    She continued to tell more stories of intimate moments between her and the bride, before getting emotional and saying: "I'm so glad you found [groom] who can give you everything in a partner that I can't." The room audibly gasped.

    I recently attended my cousin's wedding, which for the most part, was fabulous sweet poems, - songs sung by the family, a beautiful sunny day and lovely sunset. It was an almost perfect wedding were it not for the MOH.

    Now, my cousin has always been a bit of a tomboy - very athletic, very independent, and also very private. So I know nothing about her sexual orientation at all.

    Personally, I am openly bisexual and have attended family gatherings with both male and female partners at various points throughout my life. However, my cousin and I are not close and have never discussed any sort of thing.

    Anyways. Onto the ~moment~ During the speeches, after the FOB and the MOG spoke, it was time for the MOH speech. And boy, it was a doozy.

    First, she started telling the story of how "once upon a time" she and the bride had been “engaged,” seemingly jokingly, while they were forced to hunker down in a foreign country alone together during COVID lockdowns.

    buzzed with gossip after she sat down. I have no idea what their history is, no idea if they'd had a romantic relationship that dwindled, or (more likely) that her MOH was madly in love with her, my cousin played along jokingly at the time, and then eventually

    came clean that she had zero attraction to her and was in love with her now husband. But OOOOOOF. The collective embarrassment for both the bride and the somewhat intoxicated MOH was palpable.

    Sassiest Pants • 3d ago I went to a wedding with a similar dynamic. The MOH, the bride's sister, was extremely fond of the groom. In fact, she started off her speech with "My sister and I didn't get along at all when we were kids.

    her flowers for her first Valentine's Day while living with them, and so on. She didn't reference her sister again until she said that their kids will be "cute and well-fed." She didn't even say that she gets along with her sister now.

    The groom is a really nice guy and madly in love with his wife, so none of us suspected that anything went on between the groom and MOH. We think that she wasn't used to men treating her like a human, so she fell head over heels for the first man that was kind and respectful.

    It was so awkward. The rest of the wedding was a bit of a disaster. The poor couple. They're nice people, but a lot of their respective families suck.

    lot of questions about why the bride was so late to walk down the aisle that the song played through twice, paused for a few minutes, before eventually commencing. Tbe bride said she couldn't find her jewelry, but with the cloudy context of the speech, some noticed
