what happens when someone actually objects to a wedding when asked, does anyone have a reason why these two should not be married?....i've never heard anything about this...

The wedding is paused while the officiator straightens everything out, then either proceeds immediately, is postponed or is canceled.
Only a cad would do this AT the wedding. An honest person with true objections would approach the bride and groom long before the wedding.

They are allowed to state their reason, but unless there is a legal reason (the couple is kin, or one is already married to someone else) the ceremony can go on, if the couple chooses to. Just because someone objects, doesn't mean the ceremony has to stop. You can also request that this part be left out.

I officiate at many weddings.
It is rare to even hear this question asked at weddings (minus in the movies for that, "No, don't marry him, I love you," from the guy in the back.
The purpose of the question was not for some love lost to step forward, but was done to prevent a man or woman who was already married from taking a second spouse (this would have been before the day of computer referencing and stuff like that).

This differs. The officiant will sometimes stop the ceremony and ask the couple if they want to continue despite this or not. Other times, the officiant stops the ceremony and takes the couple and the person who objected into another room to discuss why they objected.

Not sure if it is actually said during the wedding any more.
I heard it was originally said if their were legal reasons, like the groom already had a wife.

As long as it isn't for a legal reason (such as one of you is already married), then it is still up to the bride and groom. People are allowed to state their opinion, but it rarely changes the bride and groom's minds. They still go on with the ceremony.

If someone were to object, then the minister would have to determine if he would continue the ceremony, or if the issue were severe he could stop the ceremony.

ACTUALLY. If anyone objects to the wedding, the minister/officiant/clergy whomever cannot legally marry you. You would have to wait 7 more days and reapply for a marriage. They cannot legally marry you if someone objects. Even if they're joking. The second those words come out of someone's mouth, its OVER. If you're worried about someone objecting at your wedding, do NOT invite them, or you wont be married. IF you're worried about someone who is uninvited showing up, have your ushers or someone close to you keep an eye out for them, and if they show up then have them removed.
So play it safe! Because if anyone, even joking i may remind you, says those words that they object, you will not be getting married that day, or for a whole week for that matter!
