Number one is my favorite.
"My ex-stepmom was getting married to my cousin. I really like my cousin, and my ex-stepmom is one of the worst people I know, so I tried to talk him out of it, but he was committed. They said their vows and everything, but when the pastor asked if anyone objected, I stood up. I talked about how terrible of a person my ex-stepmom was, and how she was tricking my cousin. I practically begged him not to marry her, but he wouldn't even look at me. After a minute of me talking, I realized that everyone else in the room was actively hating me, so I left. They're still married to this day – five years next Thursday. They seem to be genuinely happy. I'm starting to wonder if I just had the wrong idea about my ex-stepmom. I go over to their house sometimes and eat dinner."
I have so many follow up questions, but mostly I wonder if the married couple are saints or if they add some "special seasonings" to that person's plate?

An old friend of mine said he wouldn't be able to go to my first wedding. He said he'd have a hard time not protesting because he thought my ex was not the right person for me to marry. He never said he wanted me to marry him, just that my ex was wrong for me. He was right. When this same friend met DH, he said now this wedding I would've been happy to attend; he's good.

We were actually terrified that my husbands ex girlfriend was going to show up at our wedding and do just this. She's a psycho, and she found our wedding website with all our info a few weeks before the day. She left us comments in the guestbook so we knew she knew the details. Fortunately the day went off without a hitch, but man did we start sweating when the priest got to that part!
One of the reasons I opted not to attend my former best friends wedding was because I didn't trust myself not to object. That, and I gave birth 1.5 weeks before the ceremony, so I had a legit excuse not to go! I've been told by mutual friends that there was a whole lot of tongue biting at her wedding during that part. Her husband is scary.

Yes. The father of the bride is a jokester, who raised his hand, stood, & explained his objection was on the grounds the wedding cost too much. Everyone laughed, & the smiling bride left the alter to hug her dad. She later explained that her dad had struggled with the idea of his only daughter getting married; him making the joke at the ceremony meant that he had accepted her husband & was treating him (& his parents/extended family/friends) like family.

I went to one wedding where the minister went on at length about how this is only if someone has a legal reason why the couple may not be married and should not be used for any other purpose.
It's the only wedding where that has ever happened so I did wonder if they were expecting something to happen (nothing did, though).

No but I have to a shotgun wedding. It was funny and sweet.
The bride's family all had shotguns( big hunting family). The father of the bride gave a gorgeous shotgun to the father of the groom. They release clay pigeon after the ceremony and the couple shot at them.

My wedding didn't even have that part. Nor did mine. In fact, I don't know if I've been to a wedding that did include this. |
