Usually, when we think about people objecting during weddings, we think of popular movies or TV shows. Situations like that are so dramatic (and possibly romantic, depending on who you’re rooting for) that it seems like it has to come from a great screenwriter’s imagination.
However, these sorts of objections happen in real-life, too. But they might look very different from what you’ve seen on-screen. Twitter users from all over the world pitched in and spilled the tea about some of the most memorable wedding objections that they’ve ever witnessed, after business owner Sienna asked them to do so.
Sienna, the founder of a lip gloss company called Glosshood, reached a ton of people with the post, and it went viral, netting nearly 302k likes. Scroll down for the best wedding objection stories, upvote the ones that impressed you the most, and don’t forget to tell us all about your own experiences in the comments, Pandas. Just remember, think twice (or even thrice!) before objecting during a wedding yourselves.
Bored Panda got in touch with Anna and Sarah, Team Leaders at The Wedding Society, for a chat about wedding objections, why they fascinate some people, and why they're actually not a good idea in real-life. You'll find our full interview with them below. Remember, just because something looks glamorous on the silver screen doesn't mean that it's what you should do during actual weddings.

I assume the twin brother was not at that wedding? Otherwise this would have been cleared up faster.
I notice that a lot of these objections were raised at *first weddings*. I hope they all chose better partners for their second (and hopefully last) weddings.
I'm a marriage celebrant and in 27 years I've only ever had one couple request the 'obey' word in their marriage vows. It was one sided though, the groom didn't use 'obey' in his vows.
I believe the groom was the cousin in this matter. At least, I hope so.
At the hands of his child, the one he had with the woman in 1950!!!
HOW? Did the fiance and him get married? I still have so many questions.
Just a thought... if you actually knew the person you were getting married to was the actual Anti-Christ, would you still marry them if you were in love with them before finding out? I mean, the Anti-Christ could theoretically give you everything you've ever wanted in life. It's just that, at some point, that person would do questionable things and destroy the world.
I honestly can't see the humor in crashing someone else's wedding. I understand the desire because "harhar" but please, it's someones special day. Don't ruin it.
There was this one guy whose dream girl was getting married to some jerk who didn't even love her and was just after her because of her social status, and his friend told him to bust into the wedding when the "does anyone object" part happened. He got there too late, but ran in yelling "I OBJECT!" anyway. It was a big mess, but it all worked out in the end after he confessed his feelings and a dragon ate the groom.
My take: If you object to someone getting married you shouldn't wait until the actual vows to tell them. And if you have tried and they didn't listen, no need to mess up the ceremony.
Exactly. The whole "if anyone object" is seriously outdated & a relic of a bygone era. If there's an actual problem, deal with it beforehand; don't wait for that line. It was intended for back when people lived in smaller communities that might not travel far, and gave a chance for people with select or "secret" knowledge to come forward. For example if the couple were actually related but only Mary knew & wasn't aware they were even a couple until the wedding. Or one of them was already married a few towns over, or wasn't baptized, whatever.
Load More Replies...A marriage is a legal contract. The celebrant, bridesmaid and groom are legal witnesses. (In some religions, including Catholicism, there is a religious wedding separate from a legal wedding.) The question is a legal question, asking if they know of a legal problem with the wedding. No-one is asking if you think the bride is a "s**t," or the groom is a vulgar jerk. The purpose is to determine if anyone knows of prior, unresolved marriages, if the partners are too closely related, etc., and at least formerly, infections, sterility, etc.
I've never been to a wedding when they even asked if there were objections. I don't why these people getting married even included it, as the officiant does go over everything with the couple.
