People Share Times Someone Actually Objected During A Wedding And The Stories Are Cringeworthy
"If anyone has any reason why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." It's said at just about every wedding, and many films have had the bride or groom's true love burst through the doors to object to the marriage just in time — happily ever after!
While very common in the movies, objections during weddings seem so be much less common in real-life, probably because they're really awkward and horrible for just about everyone involved. These are real-life wedding objection stories that people shared on Reddit that will make you cringe so hard.
Sis Collecting Husbands Like It's A Hobby
"I saw a wedding interrupted because the bride was already married in three different states under three different names!"
Honestly, some people stop at having one husband, but this woman is an overachiever who really wanted to collect them all. After conquering the 50 states, she could move onto countries. Her work ethic is inspiring.
Big Yikes! Girl Dodged A Monster-In-Law
"At my friend's wedding, his mother stood up during the vows and, staring at his wife-to-be, said, 'Objection! I don't want my baby to be with that rat for the rest of his life!'"
"Everyone in the audience was shocked and confused, and my friend just turned red and ran right out of the church. I guess he felt the same way."
Baby Not On Board With The Marriage Thing
"My husband and I got married when my oldest child was three-months-old. Well, when the officiant asked if there were any objections, our baby started crying loudly. The officiant replied, 'Too late,' and everyone started laughing."
I bet that baby grew up dealing with jokes about trying to break up their parents' marriage for years.
This Is Something Straight Out Of A T.V. Drama
"One of my good friends was marrying a man she thought was a truck driver, but when the priest asked for objections, a woman stood up.
Turned out, the guy wasn't a truck driver at all, but a married man from another state who had two kids. The woman who stood up was his wife."
Why Is It Always The Sister?
"I was at a wedding in which the bride objected herself. She had recently found out that her soon-to-be husband had been sleeping with her sister for the past eight years!"
This storyline is so predictable. Can grooms start cheating in original ways, like with her dentist or her regular manicurist? Spice it up.
A Classic Way To Deal With Wedding-Day Jitters
"A friend of mine told me about a wedding he went to during which, when it came time for the objections, a voice in the back yelled, 'SHE SUCKED MY **** LIKE 30 MINUTES AGO!' The bride burst into tears, and the groom just walked away."
All around huge yikes.
Getting Drunk At The Reception Is One Thing, But...
"Not quite objected, but I went to a wedding where the bride got smashed before the ceremony and couldn't say her vows, had to go have a nap and missed the reception."
Honestly, I respect this bride. My mom was super high on valium for her wedding and the ceremony was so much more entertaining because of it!
Girl Was Just Trying To Secure The Bag
"I went to a wedding in which the groom's father objected, saying he had proof that she was just using him to pay off her debts."

Reality T.V. Wants This Level Of Drama
"I went to a wedding and everything seemed to be going well. Turns out, the groom had felt up the bride's 18-year-old niece the night before, and the mother of the bride found out while the bride and groom were at alter."
"Let's just say that things went downhill very quickly after that. The best part is that the cameraman just kept recording."
Using Religion To Take Revenge
"After the marriage was finalized at a Jewish wedding I was attending, the bride said, "I'm divorcing my husband for sleeping with my sister!"
In the Jewish faith, once married the bride or groom basically cannot remarry someone related to the previous spouse. This bride publicly humiliated her groom and sister by outing them and sealed the fact that they can never be together.
The Past Will Come Back To Haunt You
"At a wedding I attended, when the "objections" question was asked, the entire crowd began laughing wildly. Turns out, the bride and groom had both led, ahem, colorful lives."
Honestly, it's really nice that they both had done very questionable things. I might even go as far as to say that they're a perfect match.
Bro, Don't Get Married—We Won't Hang Out As Much

The Most Wholesome Objection Story Ever
"When I was three years old, I objected at my aunt's wedding because I didn't want her to get married. My family still brings it up to this day."
Honestly, if one of my nephews told me that they didn't want me to get married during the "speak now" segment of the ceremony, I'd probably call the wedding off.
When Will You Learn That Your Actions Have Consequences?
"I went to a wedding in which someone objected and said, 'We've been f***ing, and she's better off with me!'"
"The groom dumped her immediately and the story became huge news all around where she lived. She ended up having to move provinces just to escape scrutiny when trying to date again."
The Weather Would Like To Object
"A big thunderstorm blew up during the ceremony; and just as the minister asked, "Does anybody have any objections?" Lightning strikes the church with a tremendous ka-boom and all the lights go out."
"There's some nervous laughter, and the minister says "That doesn't count!", and the ceremony continued. Made for an amazing wedding video!"
Team Rivalries Are Very Serious
"I was a musician at a wedding in which someone objected because she was a Spurs fan and the groom was a Liverpool fan."
The Reddit user explained that, despite their allegiance to different soccer teams, they still got married. Maybe they should just watch the games in separate rooms."
I Feel So Bad For This Guy's Wife
"Not an objection, but had a drunk (guy) friend tell me (the bride) to give him a call when things didn't work out. Obviously cut him out of my circle."
"He called me a few years later, a week before his own wedding, and asked if I was still happy. My husband and I just celebrated 15 years together and look forward to many more."
I'm Sure The Mother's Speech During The Reception Wasn't Awkward At All!!
"At my (half) sister's wedding when they got to the objection part her mother (same dad different mum) whispered 'Yeah, he isn't good enough for her.'"
"The officiant stopped the wedding and asked her to speak up, saying it's a legal part to the wedding and if she has any objection, then please state it loud enough to hear. She laughed it off and sat down red-faced."
This Calm, Sad Ending
"Not exactly an objection, but I worked as a photographer at a Vegas wedding chapel. Once, a young couple came in with their friends to get married, and when the minister got to the vows part, the groom kept putting the ring on the bride's finger and then taking it off again."
"Finally, the groom asked the bride if there was someone else. She nodded, and they decided not to get married after all."
