20 people who witnessed an objection during a wedding share what happened.

Most weddings don&#39;t involve the dramatic interruptions and emotional fall-outs of a romantic comedy, but some do.There are truly few scenes more cinematic than the sight of someone interrupting a wedding ceremony to air their grievances, or better yet, expose some dirt on the true nature of the couple.In a popular Reddit thread, people who witnessed a wedding objection shared what happened.1. From lilsugarpackets: My husband and I got married in a public park, near a bay that we grew up fishing in. Mid-ceremony, a little fishing boat motors on by, with two guys in it. The are probably about 80 yards away, holding beers. One says &quot;Look, it&#39;s a wedding.&quot; About a minute later, the other yells, &quot;SHE DON&#39;T EVEN LIKE YOU!&quot; My mother-in-law yelled back, &quot;DON&#39;T MAKE ME CUT YOU AT MY SON&#39;S WEDDING.&quot;  Forever immortalized in my wedding video. That&#39;s what I get for having a wedding in a public area. 2. From MiyaxKapugen: So, so late to this. When my neighbours got married, they had a semi- pirate themed wedding on a tall ship anchored in the harbour. They had met in fencing class and are also some of the most eccentric people I&rsquo;ve ever met.  When the officiant asked the question, one of their fencing buddies stood up and yelled that the bride deserved better, and the groom was nothing but a swashbuckling good-for-nothing. So the groom challenged him to a duel, they fenced their way up the aisle and the groom threw him over the edge of the boat. They&rsquo;ve been just as entertaining to live next door to ever since. 3. From CBD_Sasquatch: My dad is a minister. He once had a lady stand up in the church and say that the marriage couldn&#39;t go forward because she was still married to the groom. Wedding canceled. 4. From smilbandit: My mom wanted to stop the marriage of her half-brother and her step-sister, but the wedding was in prison so she wasn&#39;t able to attend. 5. From LookatitOmar: My wife&rsquo;s grandmother was a sweet woman who was battling dementia and Alzheimer&rsquo;s. When it came to that part of the ceremony, she blurted out &ldquo;Women aren&rsquo;t allowed to marry people!&rdquo; (Our officiant was a female minister). After a short pause and some shushing from the family she then exclaimed &ldquo;BUT HE LOOKS LIKE AL ROKER!&rdquo; I&rsquo;m a pasty Irish boy, for what it&rsquo;s worth. 6. From jyuro: My husband and I had a Justice of the Peace wedding, then did the actual ceremony with a priest later. The priest was super cool and had come through at the last second when our original officiant backed out. When he got to the part about objecting, he said &quot;And if anyone has any reason why these two should not be wed... you&#39;re too late.&quot; 7. From Andermaal: Priest: &quot;...that these two should not be wed?&quot; GF of best man: &quot;THAT AIN&#39;T YER KID IN THERE!&quot;  Best man was f*cking the fiancee since the groom&#39;s 2 month trip to China. He thought he was great at hiding it from his GF. He was not. Think 3 relationships ended there and a few more friendships. 8. From ShabaDabaDo: My best friend, the morning before his wedding, his crazy uncle (you know, that one black sheep uncle that everybody seems to have), shows up at his door. &quot;You don&#39;t have to do this. We&#39;re 2 hours drive from Mexico, here&#39;s the keys to my car, the tank is full, and here&#39;s 10 grand in cash.&quot; My buddy laughs and closes the door on him.

Immediately that uncle stands up in the pew, in the back, starts rattling his car keys as loud as he can, and yells &quot;TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, BOY!&quot; 9. From Auto_Fac: I am a Priest, here&#39;s a mildly interesting tidbit about this. In a church context this question is a holdover from the days when the civil authorities had little to do with weddings and it was simply administered solely by the church, therefore it was the churches responsibility to ensure that nothing was amiss: most notably, issues of adultery or of consanguinity (being too closely related by blood).  Now that couples must receive their marriage license from the state before being married in the church, this question is essentially moot as the state has already determined that barring some sort of identity theft, there are no impediments to their being married.  We still ask because there may be reasons, such as adultery, that require investigation. If someone does object during a church service it is protocol to take them and the couple into the vestry and determine what the source of the objection is. If it was a joke, they are a jerk for interrupting and we carry on. If it is real, like a groomsman sleeping with the bride the night before her wedding, then stuff hits the fan. 10. From challam: I really wanted to...bride/groom had decided to split a week before the wedding, but bride&#39;s dad said he wouldn&rsquo;t pay for all the related expenses (and had already paid all deposits) unless they went ahead with the wedding, so they went ahead with the sham.
