Wedding Objection Stories: Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace

As they say, love conquers all and this is what the bride did luckily, she was backed by her best friend.

“I grew up in a super fundamentalist Christian community. My best friend fell in love, but her parents were pissed because they wanted to do an arranged marriage for her, so they locked her in the house for months. Finally I helped her escape and she got married in a very small ceremony. She used to be very close to her brother, so she invited him. He was also angry about her eloping, so he wore all black, including black sunglasses, and stood there looking pissed the whole time. We specifically asked the pastor to not do the “does anyone object” thing because we didn’t want to give anyone the chance. When her brother realized the pastor wasn’t going to say it, he tried to stop the wedding anyway. My brothers had to escort him out. The whole thing was f**king heartbreaking.”
