WEDDING OBJECTIONS

"At my cousin's wedding, her twin brother interrupted at that moment to propose to his then-girlfriend. He had a huge speech prepared and everything. The bride and groom were clearly appalled. The mother was trying to get him to sit down, but man was he determined. The worst part was when his girlfriend said, No!’”

"I went to a gay wedding last summer.

One of the grooms' sister stood up and yelled, 'Marriage is a MAN and a WOMAN!'

She got kicked out and to add insult to injury, it was their parents who escorted her out."

"So, I was chilling with my friends before it happened. One of them, before we entered the room, was all, 'Oh I'm going to act a fool when they ask for objections'. However, he was all inflated and didn't act on his words at all throughout our many encounters, so we joke around a bit more before we enter and sit down at our designated spots. Then the wedding was about to begin.

I noticed something peculiar about the face of the woman who was being married. Then it hit me. And when they asked, 'If anyone has a reason...'

I responded,

'THAT'S WHO I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DATING TOMORROW.'

Everybody laughed, I ran out in embarrassment. It turns out, the girl that I met online had a sister - a twin sister, who was now married to my friend, who never brought this up before.

I texted her one final time after the incident for a date at the movies; she responded 'maybe' and never came back to that conversation.

"This happened at one of my friend's sibling's weddings. Her parents are super conservative and hadn't gotten the chance to know the daughter's fiancé very well before they got married. In their minds, all that was relevant about him was that he was 10 years older than her and had been previously divorced. They had made subtle and not-so-subtle comments here and there before the wedding that they weren't happy about it.

It should have been a forewarning of what was to come.

The day of the wedding, everything was beautiful. My friend's sister and her fiancé were ecstatic to be getting married and invited friends and family from both sides to their outdoor wedding. All was going well until the preacher asks the audience if anyone has objections as to why they should get married...and as serious as can be, dad of the bride stands up and says, 'Her mother and I object,' and then after a long hesitation sits back down.

Silence.

No one can believe that that just happened. Not knowing exactly how to handle it, the preacher just says 'okay' and finishes the ceremony as planned. I can't even imagine how the bride and groom must have felt. My friend says the tension in the room was unbelievable. But they got married all the same, they just do a lot of avoiding the in-laws as one might imagine."

"I'm sitting at a wedding for a cousin. Suddenly the 'speak now or forever hold your peace' part happens and instantly total silence. The wedding does not continue. The priest is obviously waiting for something. A relative is squirming in his seat beside me muttering that he can't believe that he has to be the one who has to do this.

I asked him what he meant...

He casually explains that cousin Jerry was cheating on his bride with a girl named Heather. I explain that wasn't Jerry's girlfriend...

He answers, 'Yes a secret girlfriend' and asked if I could I believe it...

I say, no not groom Jerry the other Jerry. He realizes that in our family, we had at least 7 Jerrys, 2 who actually called themselves Jerry.

And guess what... Heather was another Jerry's girlfriend.

He actually spread this false rumor around to about 30 percent of the bloody congregation and slipped a hundred dollars to the priest. Not that he took it... no, it took a couple threats about clocking a holy man for him to take the hint.

Luckily the couple wasn't mad, they were just happy to be getting married and accepted the priest's apology afterward about the pause.

It may have been a bit more awkward for the guests as this was not a couple second pause, but more like 2-3 minutes."

"I was at a college buddy's wedding when a childhood friend (that had one too many drinks) of the bride tried to stand up and profess his love for her.

The bride's father immediately stood up and tried to haul off said guy by the ear, except he was so pissed he pulled too hard and partially severed the guy's ear.

I was also pretty tipsy and laughed a little too hard when the dude screamed like a small girl, but I was not the only one. A few people even applauded."
