Oh, the favorite rom-com question, “Speak now or forever hold your peace.” It’s dramatic, thoroughly juicy, and serves a plot twist that makes for a great movie. But does anyone actually storm into the church to stop the couple from making the worst mistake of their lives?
Apparently, they do, because when redditor Bowlingcabbages asked netizens if they ever witnessed a wedding objection, more than 600 people shared the unfortunate protests. From cuckoo clocks to fed-up priests, these people have seen a lot of stuff. So, grab some popcorn and scroll down to enjoy the drama and absurdity of these unfortunate ceremony interruptions.
While you're at it, make sure to check out a brief chat we had with Bowlingcabbages - the person who started this discussion in the first place.

My MIL showed up to my wedding in a black funeral type fundamentalist Mormon looking dress in protest. She was supposed to wear purple, silver or teal to match wedding colors and had shown me two outfits she bought in those colors.
But she got mad at me for not letting BIL give the blessing at the rehearsal dinner because I wanted the actual pastor in attendance to do it and threw a fit and threatened not to come to the wedding. She ended up coming but in that funeral dress and frowned in all the wedding pictures and pretty much ruined my wedding.

Very small wedding, just family, and a few of us close friends. The guy performing the marriage asked if anyone objected, paused for what felt like forever (was probably like 45 seconds), and then said, 'Are you sure? Like, really sure you don’t have any objections? All of us sat in awkward silence. Everyone knew it was a rough relationship, but the couple had not listened to anyone’s concerns. Three years later they are still married, although they were separated for most of it.

Wasn’t necessarily and objection, but a friend of mine was getting married and his fiancées mother wasn’t invited. Idk all the details of why but from what I understood she sort of dropped her as a child for a few years then when she heard she was getting married she tried to show up. Anyways the mom and her boyfriend show up and makes a huge scene about how her daughter is getting married and she has a right to be there. She ends up getting pushed down the stairs by security because she was throwing punches at security trying to get into the chapel. It was a crazy experience.

My little brother yelled it at our parents wedding.
It was after the kiss and we all laughed. He cringes at it today but I learned to laugh at it.

I was at my uncle's wedding back in the '90s. He was getting re-married and had three kids from a previous marriage. At the objection part, my cousin, who is his oldest son, yelled, 'DON'T DO IT, DAD!!! They went through with it but got divorced like five years ago. They were married 20ish years though

Yes I have. I was a Wedding Photographer about 20 yrs ago and the other guy showed up and Holy S**t I have never seen a group of Groomsmen beat the hell out of one guy like that. Then the Bride and Groom went somewhere with the Priest and the Maid if Honor came out and announced that the company was welcome to enjoy the meal at the reception, but please retain tour gifts as the wedding was canceled.

Not an objection but when my friends got married, the oficiator asked if everyone in attendance would be supportive of the bride and groom and what not.
I, along with the other groomsmen, took a swig from our flasks of alcohol.

Never witnessed one but I'm fully prepared to pull an objection stunt. Couple is poly, they tell their family they are good Christian monogamous. Family will disown them. Also the boyfriend is a manipulative narcissistic a*****e who only picked to be poly so he could cheat without repercussions.
I don't care if I become the villain in the story, so long as I can topple this pos off his high horse I'll sleep well.
