There’s a point at every wedding where everybody holds their breath – the moment the officiant says something along the lines of: “If any person present knows of any lawful impediment to this marriage, they should speak now or forever hold their peace.”

Most people will never experience hearing someone speak up at this point, so Reddit user _AhappyTeddyBear posed the question: “For those who have witnessed a wedding objection during the ‘speak now or forever hold your peace’ portion; what happened?”
