Objections during a marriage ceremony?

Ok so my brother's getting married in a few hours and last night during the rehearsal I got to wondering...so you guys know how the priest says "If anyone has any objections that these two should be joined together blah blah...speak now or forever hold your peace"

I was just thinkin...I wonder how many times, if ever, someone has actually decided they needed to object to a wedding in front of so many people. Do any of you guys know of any instances of this happening. Personally I think it would be one of the most embarrassing/awkward/hilarious moments ever.

 

i've seen it happen in at least 10 movies.

 

I have never personally seen that...but i do know a couple that got married and were seperated that same night and had an annullment the very next day.

 

yeah, it's the climactic scene in a bunch movies. I think that "the graduate" may have been the first though (great movie, btw)

I find very formal situations like that to be uncomfortable, and that particular moments is the most so.

I'm sure it would be a great moment for a one-liner, but you would likely never be forgiven for it, and it could well be the last wedding you ever get invited to.

Said, Great Opening For A One Liner, Just Don't Expect To Attend The Reception

Afterwards....



Cheers Glen.

 

thats awesome.

I would consider doing that if I could think of a good one..

never getting invited to another wedding would just be a side benefit :2thumbsup:

 

"is there any reason why these two should not be joined in lawful wedded matrimony?"


oh yeah, sure, but this is a rented tux and we don't have all day

 

I've been in a few weddings where I would have loved to do that.

But its mostly something I associate with movies

 

"is there any reason why these two should not be joined in lawful wedded matrimony?"

you mean a reason other than that they're cousins?

 

Makes ya wonder how the phrase got put in traditional vows in the first place though.

Maybe back in the days where ladies were courted by a bunch of noble men.

I bet there were lots of more objections followed by duels in those days.

 

I have a feeling that was why, lode. I think that back then when "virginity" was a super big deal, it would be a reason for objection. That and after the wedding ceremony, the couple and all of the wedding guests were go to in a big room while the couple had sex and everyone watched to "bear witness" to the initial step of marriage...kinda creeeeepy!

 

Well what are legit reasons to object a marriage?

1. You're in love with the bride.

2. The Bride/Groom will ruin the others life.

3. Poisoned wedding cake?

 

4. Genital warts




(stole that from family guy couldnt find the clip)

 

5. Girl is a ladyboy?

(Only works if they've never been together and would ruin their wedding night)

 

(6)..She's Pregnant With MY Child.......

Guaranteed Ceremony Stopper..........



Cheers Glen.

 

the groom gave me AIDS...

 

The results are in! The groom is, in fact, your brother!

 

how about yelling "stop! it's a trap! run while you still can!"

 

I have not seen it expect in movies. Though it would be quite funny I think.

 

"I object!..... April fools....."

OP didn't you ever watch shrek?
