Does anyone use "Speak now or forever hold your peace"?

Movies and tv would make you think that during wedding ceremonies the officiant will ask whether anyone objects to the marriage, and if so they should "Speak now or forever hold your peace". Have you ever seen this part included in a ceremony? Will it be in yours?

    Whenever I think about this, I think of Grey's Anatomy when Jackson and April ran off. I will be skipping this in our wedding! Haha.

    Our officiant said something similar at ours and no one said anything so it moved right along. We probably could have asked to skip it but it never really occurred to us and it didn't bother either or us so we didn't

    Unfortunately yes. It was a former friend's wedding. It was the groom's ex girlfriend who objected. We all thought it was a joke initially bc the couple getting married were goofballs but then we saw their reaction. They girl was quickly walked out which was made easy since she was in the very back and the pastor went on with the ceremony. We all acted like it didn't happen.

    My family has been against my fiance the entire 6 years of our relationship so I don't doubt one of them will speak up so we plan to have our officiant say: if anyone here truly believes these two should not wed, keep your objections to yourselves as we do not care. Smiley smile
