Has anyone ever been at a wedding where someone objected?

[TellItLikeItReallyIs]

Inspired by another thread where poster wrote she fantasised about a man doing that moving thing of objecting when the vicar says 'if anyone knows of any reason why this man & woman etc".

Does this ever happen for real?

I get it might have done in the 1700s when someone from the village 40 miles away walks all day to burst in to point out he's already married to Daisy from Lower Rockingham - but in the modern world, has anyone ever witnessed it?

*doing that movie thing that should say
not moving thing.
Although I guess it would be very moving for the bride & Groom and not in a good way!

No but I do get a sudden fear that I might put my hand up and object

Apparently unless they are going to report bigamy/ sham work visa marriage or similar illegal acts it doesn’t matter anyway. I’ve seen similar threads where people have said others have objected for dramatic reasons and the celebrant / priest etc has just taken them into a side room for a quiet word and continued if the B&G want to.

Someone said "Ah" very loudly at mine!

Eveyone stopped, there was a mini-moment's silence, the vicar raised a single eyebrow and carried on!

I suspect PoisnousstbxSILs univited parents were the source of the well timed noise.
