The Worst Things That Happened In the Five Minutes After a Wedding Objection
When a Reddit user asked others on the site “Redditors who have objected at weddings or seen someone object, what happened in the next 5 minutes?” answers flooded in about some of the most embarrassing moments that have ever happened to otherwise happy couples.
Whether it was family members airing their grievances or exes seeking revenge, all of these objections caused confusion, embarrassment or shock for everyone in attendance!
And sometimes, divorce was imminent after the shock wore off…
The Best Man Knew the Bride Too Well
“Not really an objection, but a friend of mine works at a wedding venue. She told me about one wedding where the best man made some jokes in his speech about the time that he slept with the bride. He assumed that the groom already knew about it… he didn’t.
Groom was NOT happy, the reception ended up getting cancelled and all the guests were sent home.”

Six-Year-Old Step-Son Objected
“My dad marrying his third wife. My step brother and I were in the wedding party. He was about 6, I was 10. The preacher asks if anyone objects and my brother raises his hand so very politely.
My dad asks why, and my step brother replies, “because I want you to promise to take me fishing whenever I want, first.”

Conservative Parents Were Not Happy With Their Son-in-Law
“This happened at one of my friend’s sibling’s weddings. Her parents are suuuuper conservative and hadn’t gotten the chance to know the daughter’s fiancé very well before they got married.
In their minds all that was relevant about him was that he was 10 years older than her and had been previously divorced. They had made subtle and not-so-subtle comments here and there before the wedding that they weren’t happy about it. It should have been a forewarning of what was to come.
The day of the wedding, everything was beautiful. Friend’s sister and her fiancé were ecstatic to be getting married and invited friends and family from both sides to their outdoor wedding.
All was going well, until the preacher asks the audience if anyone has objections to why they should get married…. and as serious as can be, dad of the bride stands up and says “her mother and I object,” and then after a long hesitation sits back down. Silence.
No one can believe that that just happened. Not knowing exactly how to handle it, the preacher just says “ok” and finishes the ceremony as planned. I can’t even imagine how the bride and groom must have felt. My friend says the tension in the room was unbelievable.
But they got married all the same… they just do a lot of avoiding the ILs as one might imagine..”

The Bride Storms Off
“When the pastor got to the part ‘or forever hold your peace,’ the bride said, ‘Yes, I’d like to say something.’ Then she turned around to her guests and said, ‘I’d like to thank my maid of honor for sleeping with my fiancé last night.
’ With that, she threw her bouquet and stormed off. The story even made it on the radio at the time.”
