WR Poll: Objection?
My friend (who is here for her bachelorette party) is writing her own ceremony. We were talking about it last night and the topic of having the officiant say "If anyone has any reason why these two should not be joined, speak now or forever hold your peace..." came up. I did not include this in my ceremony, nor will she include it in hers. She then asked me "does anyone do that anymore?"
I figured I'd ask...
[Poll]
Re: WR Poll: Objection?
I just realized I'm actually more "special snowflake." We had our officiant say this:
"By being here today, you are making a promise to [bride] and [groom]. You are promising to support them in the marriage, and to honor the commitment they are making to each other."
Loosely translated, it meant "Since you showed up, you don't object, be happy."
I don't think so, but I'd have to watch the video to be sure.
ETA: I should add, in my diocese, they announce upcoming weddings in the church bulletin so someone has an opportunity then to object for cause (already married basically). But we didn't get married in the church. I'm thinking that it was skipped, though, based on this practice in my diocese.

Married
I know it wasn't mentioned at ours, but I voted SS because we had the shortest ceremony in the world. It was a JOP friend of my parents who was probably more nervous than we were. No stories about love, no parables, no readings, songs or poems. We got up there, do you? Do you? Rings, kiss, and out. But apparently it worked!

I voted no for this reason. We got married in the church & for 3 weeks before they announce it in the bulletin, so no need for it to be said at the ceremony.
I don't know, mine was pretty short. We did the "I Will's","I do's", ring exchanges and kiss the bride. it was literally 5 minutes.
