- [Man] Once I was at a backyard wedding,
and random guy rode by on his bike yelling, "Don't do it!"
(mellow music)
- [Woman] My now husband asked my father
for my hand in marriage before he proposed.
My dad flat out said no.
My dad talked to me every week
in the two months leading up to the wedding
and said I don't have to go through it if I didn't want to.
I wouldn't upset anyone.
We had a destination wedding,
and when my parents arrived to the resort,
he told me he would fly me back home if I wanted to.
Right before walking me down the aisle,
he asked if I was sure,
and again mentioned flying me home
if I didn't want to go through with it.
- [Woman] It was at a rehearsal dinner.
My aunt's mother stood up and gave big long speech
about how my uncle wasn't good enough for her daughter,
and how my uncle would never amount to anything.
My aunt started crying,
and my uncle told his now mother-in-law
to sit down and shut up.
They were getting married no matter what she said.
They have been married for 20 years now,
and my uncle's mother-in-law hasn't spoken to him since.
- [Woman] My grandmother is known for making trouble.
She really liked my uncle's former wife.
They flew my grandmother out to the wedding
and sat her right at the front next to the bride's mother.
The priest asked if the parents of the bride and groom
approve and bless the marriage.
My grandmother straight up says no.
- [Woman] My late grandfather was a reverend.
He married my older cousin and his fiance.
My mother, brother, and I didn't attend the wedding,
but my late grandma told us
that my older cousin was so drunk
that he kept objecting to his own wedding,
and my grandfather kept asking if he meant to object.
- [Woman] I went with an ex-boyfriend
to his cousin's wedding.
Everything seemed fine and normal
until they asked if anyone objected.
The bride's sister made small coughing noise
and asked if she could speak to the two of them privately.
Turns out the bride had a shopping addiction
which put her $45,000 in debt,
and she'd been hiding it from the groom.
Wedding went on after that,
but it definitely put a damper on the celebration.
- [Woman] I was at wedding between
one of my really good friends and her fiance,
who she had been with for nearly four years.
Then in the middle of the ceremony, my brother,
a year younger than the groom, stands up and yells,
"We can't live in this lie anymore, Will,"
and proceeds to run up to the front of the chapel
and kisses the groom.
Instead of objecting, the groom kissed him back
and professed his love to him,
and what a mistake he was about to make.
My friend just immediately burst into tears
and started screaming about all the time he had cost her.
She ran out of the chapel, and I followed her.
- [Man] I said no at my wedding.
It was a super fast ceremony at her new house
with just the officiant
and a couple of people for witnesses.
When he asked if I took my spouse in marriage,
or something like that,
I honestly don't remember, I said no.
There was about a beat, and then I said yes.
I thought it was funny at least.
- [Woman] Right before the wedding,
my aunt pulled me aside for quick walkabout,
in my dress and everything,
to let me know she thought I was making a huge mistake,
and she just couldn't watch it happen without telling me.
- [Woman] I accidentally objected to a wedding.
It was my first time taking the train,
and I walked into the wrong station.
It was a wedding venue.
I was trying to find my track.
I was randomly opening doors.
I opened the doors at the perfect time
as they were asking if anyone objects.
It was quiet and awkward and loud.
- [Woman] The bride read the groom's cheating comments
from his phone account as her vows.
Said he didn't deserve her,
and that he needed to excuse himself from the venue.
We all watched him tuck tail and leave stunned in silence.
She then addressed his family stating,
"All of you have been so good and kind to me
"over the past four years,
"my respect and love for you has not changed.
"Please join all of my family and friends at the reception
"for a celebration of truth, love, and freedom
"to make the right decisions even though they hurt."
Only his brother and two friends didn't go to the reception.
Everyone else attended and had a blast.
- [Woman] When my mom told me
that my now ex-stepdad proposed, I objected.
She threw the ring across my room in a fit yelling at me,
"I don't want her to be happy."
