Has anyone stopped a wedding? Has it ever worked?

If the priest does say "Speak now or forever hold your peace", has it ever worked if someone objected?

I've never tried it, but it would have come in handy at my mine.

I was invited to a wedding a few years ago. At the time I was backpacking in South America so to be honest I didn't really want to go but had to as it was a close friend, the wedding meant that I had to be home a month sooner than what I wanted.

Anyway the two of them had been going out for 13 years, laid eyes on each other at a fresher ball in college on the first week and stayed together right throughout their 20's. He had proposed when they were both about 25/26ish but she said they were too young but was on for the idea of marriage someday.

Then he proposed again when they were 30ish but this time he did it in front of family members on Christmas Day, right there at the table over the turkey and stuffing. She was in shock but rather than ruin Christmas she said yes. She probably got used to the idea over the next while but 8 months later she called the whole thing off about 10 days before the wedding day. Lost big deposits on the hotel and dinner for 200+ guests.

I just shaked my head and got right on the phone to a travel agent to extend my flights by 3 weeks and went travelling Patagonia for the rest of the trip. Happy days

He married someone else not too long ago, she is in a stable relationship for a while now too. Both of them are happy and given the hindsight we've all had it was the right decision when all was considered. It just need not have taken her 13 years to get there but c'est la vie

Their was a succession of fine Women in that show. My personal favourite was Roxie. She was seriously hot.

Her real name is Soleil Moon Frye, which is a most excellent name.

She was a child star in the 80s, I believe.

My cousin and I once conspired to ruin a wedding. At the exact moment where the celebrant said the "Should any person know why these two should not wed...", we sent his 3 year old son (complete with mini-tuxedo) running up the aisle, calling out "Daddy! Daddy!"...

Classic.
