What happens when someone objects to the marriage during the wedding ceremony? That question was inserted into the ceremony by the bride. How is that handled by the officiant, the bride and groom, family, etc...
That is very old fashioned. Why is the bride asking to have that included? Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
The bride has chosen traditional/biblical ceremony language and included the question of objection. Friends tell me she may want someone to object to take the heat off her own doubts...OR perhaps she thinks it will make a difference in how people view her marriage to a young controlling male. Friends are encouraging her to call off the wedding. Is there any advice?
I can't tell what your relationship is to the bride but try to get these two (or, at least just the bride) into some counseling before the wedding. Perhaps some probing questions from a caring friend or family member could open the door for discussion.
But, if she insists on leavibg this line in the vows and moving forward with the wedding, the bride will have to make her own plans about how she will handle someone objecting. If it were me, I would hope that anyone close to me would speak up well before the wedding.
This reminds me of the TV show "Everybody Loves Raymond" when the mom almost ruined the wedding by speaking out during the service. Maybe if the bride could watch that episode on dvd she might realize how foolish she's being by waiting until the wedding day to hope someone else will let her off the hook.
Hopefully, her pastor, family and friends can lead her to make the right decision. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
