If you are considering this......Don't.
This question is no longer being asked during a ceremony in some instances.
Usually the minister/priest/rabbi tries to gloss over the comment. Ushers escort the objector out. If there is persistence the ceremony is stopped so the issue can be dealt with, PRIVATELY. If there is a ruckus, the police are usually called.

this rarely happens but i have known of it happening . my dad was a minister my grandfather and my brother were also.
to the best of my knowledge only my dad and grandfather had someone object. during the service. others have prior to the service. that is much less un common.
the clergyman most often takes the person who objects into the back of the church in another room and asks for his reasons.
there are legal reasons why a person may not be married and this is the only legal reason the minister must not carry on with the wedding. the minister may stop the wedding if he feels this new information is such that the couple should have time to re think what there doing.
an example of this might be one of them had commited a serious crime in the past . has a child not mentioned this sort of thing.
the clegyman does have the legal right to arrest anyone in the church who is disrupting a religious service and this happens from time to time however if you were to look into it you would find that the police are the ones most often arrested. you see the church grounds are not subject to the laws of the goverment but only follow the laws as most often they are in aggrement with them . so from time to time a cop has entered a chruch and atttempted to arrest a person in the congregation this is when the church arrests the officer.
some people do ask for sancuary in a church and it is granted from time to time . in canada the united church of canada has done this lately a number of times.
any person that is going to object to a wedding should really come forward long before the service and state his reasons at that time. during the service is not to late but it is something not adviced. if your objection was found unjustified you might end up being charged with disruption of the service and the couple might get very angry and attempt to sue you would all be things that could happen.

The word is OBJECT not abject...
Never known it to happen - but if were to happen, it would depend on the reason for their objection. It the reason was a legal one [they were really still married to someone else for instance] then the ceremony would be stopped by the person overseeing it...minister, justice of peace, etc. and proof would be required.
Otherwise if it's just an objection due to the objector thinking they shouldn't get married just because...nothing happens except minor disruption and embarrassment.

Our minister told us that if someone objects, the ceremony stops. That issue, whether a joke or not, has to be resolved before the ceremony can continue. And he personally wouldn't be allowed to perform it on the same day...we'd have to wait until the next day.
This is optional. I suggest that if you even remotely think that someone might object, then don't give them the opportunity.

when the question is asked "does anyone here object to these two being married?" is pretty much a formality, but in the event someone says something, then they have the right to speak their peace. Might want to do something before the wedding, or you'll have a reputation as a wedding wrecker

As far as I can tell people skip that part these days. I have yet to hear it other than on television where someone always seems to or thinks about it anyway. if you need to object maybe you want to do this long before the wedding takes place

You can leave that line out of the ceremony so no one can object....its silly anyways. If someone does object you'd still go ahead with the wedding anyways...so I would jsut leave it out.
