#1 Mother Knows Best?
So my mom HATES her sister-in-law with a passion. My uncle knows this but invited her to the wedding anyway.
My sister and I were the flower girls and when the whole “speak now or forever hold your peace” portion came up, my mom stood up so fast that her chair fell back. She screamed, “I OBJECT!! I HATE THAT LADY!! WHO’S WITH ME ON THIS?!”
Literally, everyone was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. My grandma and my aunt dragged my mom out of the church.
She wasn’t seen at the reception, although you could hear the distant slamming of fists at the doors for a good 45 minutes before she gave up and took a taxi home. The couple is still happily married today.
#2 Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones.....
When I was four years old, my sister was getting married for the second time. My aunt stood up and called my sister a really bad word. Needless to say, it didn’t go over very well.
I am too young to remember the brawl that happened after, but I am now 36 and still haven’t spoken to that side of my family since.
#3 That's Some Bull!
My cousins were very farm-oriented. They had a large piece of land that they mainly farmed animals on—cows, bulls, sheep, pigs, you name it. The bride and groom decided to have a local wedding on the farm.
They decorated the barn and planned to have the ceremony there. On the big day, everything was going great. The ceremony started and the pastor got to that point. He asked the question about any objections and none came.
As he started the next passage, one of the bulls came rushing into the barn. The bull got loose and decided to crash the party. Everyone had to scatter and the whole party had to leave the barn.
The bull got into a fight with some chairs and they closed it up inside. The rest of the ceremony had to be continued outside. At the after-party, everyone joked about how that bull must have been in love with the bride and had objections.
#4 Trying To Spoil The Anniversary
My grandma and grandpa renewed their vows on the day of their 50th wedding anniversary. My brother's best friend stood up and made a hilarious speech declaring his undying love for “sweet Georgianna.
" He was dragged off by my uncles as part of the joke, kicking and screaming the entire time. It was the highlight of the day and I thought my grandparents were gonna drop dead from laughter.
