Apparently, they do, because when redditor Bowlingcabbages asked netizens if they ever witnessed a wedding objection, more than 600 people shared the unfortunate protests. From cuckoo clocks to fed-up priests, these people have seen a lot of stuff. So, grab some popcorn and scroll down to enjoy the drama and absurdity of these unfortunate ceremony interruptions. While you’re at it, make sure to check out a brief chat we had with Bowlingcabbages - the person who started this discussion in the first place.

What pushed them to ask this question online was the terrible weddings they witnessed themselves.
“I’ve been a guest at weddings where the couples were clearly a match made in hell, which made me wonder what each party’s life would be like if the weddings never happened to begin with.
Once, a groom threatened to cancel the wedding (he had anger issues and was arguing with the bride). The bride was in tears but acted like nothing happened during the ceremony itself. Their family members had to cajole both parties.
It was a shotgun wedding, as having children before marriage is still considered taboo in Asian culture.
They divorced after a harrowing few years because he discovered her cheating.
Separately, I share mutuals with other people whose friends are definitely getting married, not out of love but out of fear of embarrassment. It’s terrible.”

They told us, “I usually share my concerns about the relationship privately, but I have learned that it’s, unfortunately, better for some people to learn things the difficult way.
I have had friends whose exes made them choose between us, and they ended up begging the exes to keep their friendship with me. It’s not exactly a compliment since I’d expect more loyalty in a friendship.
So probably not, UNLESS there is a huge mitigating factor that either the bride or groom should be made aware of and there isn’t enough time to inform them privately, or if I’ve been given blessings by the victim to do so.”

Like many Western wedding traditions, this question comes from Christianity and European customs. In fact, the phrase is a shortened version of a longer sentence “Should anyone present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.” Try saying that in one breath.

This includes information like the bride or groom being already married, related, underage, or unbaptized. Because people are creatures of habit, this tradition has been included in ceremonies for generations and is still used to this day.
