Anyone ever witnessed an objection at a wedding?

This used to be a legal part of the wedding - were people were given the chance to state if they knew any legal reason why the wedding should not take place. Today, it is not required and usually left out.
If someone would object, and not have a legal reason (another marriage not ended, couple are secretly siblings, etc) then most likely that person would be removed, and the wedding would continue. If per chance a legal issue was brought up, the officiant would have to recieve proof that the issue was resolved before the wedding could continue (meaning, divorce papers, etc).

This is NOT only in TV and Movies. It IS however, rarely done anymore. Most weddings do not have that part anymore. Those that do are generally in a rather strict religious ceremony (catholic mass or something of that nature). On the rare occasion that an objection should occur (there are various reasons that this could happen) a 24 hr "wait" is put in effect, generally so that the officiant or couple can rectify the problem. If it is found that the trouble is legal (bigamy?), then the wedding cannot continue until the legal issue has been fully resolved.

I just got married in August 2006 and the minister gave us the option if we would like that said, or not, he said because if someone should object, he ( the minister ) would have to stop the wedding take the person who objected into his office, and find out why he or she has a problem, and if the minister agrees that these two people should not be married after hearing the objection....he will not finish the ceremony, my best advice... cut that part out of the wedding

I think most people who would object either aren't invited or choose not to attend.
Honestly, what would be a reasonable objection? If you loved one of the people, but they were choosing to marry someone else, what are you supposed to do? FORCE them to marry you?
I suppose, if you had a situation where someone WERE being FORCED into a marriage, that would make sense to object to. But I can't think of any current situations where that might apply.
(And no, I've never seen it - but I was glad that the last wedding I attended it was left out of! There were some SERIOUS jokers in the crowd who might have jumped in just to do it!)

The minister who married us told us during our counselling session that this actually happened to him once. If someone objects, the wedding cannot proceed. They can go on to the reception site, or sit through a regular church service, but no weddding can happen on that day. Even if someone objects as a "joke".
In my minister's case, he gave a short sermon to bless the couple, and then everyone went on to the reception. The couple stopped at the minister's house the next morning before leaving for their honeymoon so that they could get married.

I experinced this once @ my uncle's wedding. My grandma and my cousins did not like the woaman that he was marrying @ the time, so they all dressed in black (like they were going to a funeral) and when the question was asked about if anyone objects they all stood up and said that my uncle could marry the woman he was going to marry. Anyways after about 10 minutes of this fiasco, my uncle and his wife continued thier wedding and were later married. Needless to say if you know of someone that will do that @ your wedding do not invite them.

Why no longer merchandise until now the marriage. something which you need to assert, that would impact the end result on the marriage could have an identical consequences now. in case you come back to a sort to merchandise, you will ought to stand and tell all and sundry regardless of this is you % to assert...and it extra desirable be sturdy at that. Then the couple and the minister will in all probability have a private assembly, to return to a sort what they're going to do..regardless of if this is a criminal remember, then the declare might must be explored, if its ethical concerns, you will in all probability be faraway from the premisis. the undertaking is, you're disrupting an afternoon for no longer basically the bride and groom yet all of the chums and famiy too. in the event that they arrive to a sort to circulate forward with the marriage, youve in basic terms placed a great black mark on what's meant to be THE DAY...in the event that they dont, youve embarrassed one among the two events, and made all and sundry else uncomfortable. in basic terms handle it now, on the main recent crash the rehersal. do in basic terms what u ought to do until now they walk down the aisle PLEASE

Why would you invite someone you would think would object?
I have never even seen this in a wedding. I was in a Catholic wedding about 2 weeks ago, and they never asked if anyone objected.

My sister's ex-boyfriend objected to her getting married. The minister, rabbi, etc. takes the bride, the groom and the objector to somewhere private. Have a discussion about why the person objects and then go from there.

If someone objects you have to wait 24 hrs. before you can get married offically. I was at a wedding and it happened. She had told someone she was going to do it. So they got married before the ceremony started by the pastor.
