Have you been to a wedding where someone objected?

When I’m at a wedding, it’s all I can do not to say a word when the minister/celebrant asks if anyone objects to this union.  It’s not that I object, I just want to say something during that pregnant pause. “YES!  I OBJECT!  YOU TWO CANNOT BE MARRIED! HE CHEATED!  HE CHEATED!”  …Or something dramatic like that.

Inquiring minds want to know: Have you been to a wedding where someone objected and if they did, what happened?

    ELAINE!!!! i’ve never witnessed someone object, though i’ve sure wanted to several times. but that scene in the graduate where dustin hoffman is yelling elaine while she gets married is just the best.

    I’ve been to my share of wacky weddings….. those who did object simply did not come.
    One was at a “mountain man” pot latch gathering. The ceremony was preformed by an Indian Shaman, the groom was wearing buckskins and the person who gave the bride away was in a civil war union corporal’s uniform! The bride and her attendant were dressed in pioneer lady dresses and we all stood around a camp fire on a mountain top. This wedding offended the Bride’s parent’s Catholic sensitivities and they did not attend. The most recent eclectic wedding was one of my daughter’s friends who’s family is Jewish. She man she married had been raised Jehovah’s Witness. They got married on a rooftop overlooking Puget sound by a “priestess” who called herself Sue Zen. Tongues were wagging afterwards, though no one objected to their union.

    No…but like the writer of this blog, I’d like to. Perhaps a man throwing up his hand, rising to his feet and proclaiming his love for the bride who realized that their break-up was a huge misunderstanding which led to her rebound with the man at the alter with her. At this point, a woman stands up and objects also, having had a misunderstanding with the groom. At that point, the bride and groom switch partners and there are two unions that take place that day and then a big party happens and everyone lives happily ever after ;-)

    Not yet, though this year I’ll be going to the wedding of an old friend and biting my tongue and hoping time proves me wrong.

    No, but I’ve been to a wedding where the bride didn’t show up- does that count?
