Have you ever objected at a wedding?

Are you shitting me? You're thinking of doing it at the wedding? Talk to him in private, don't be a douchebag. EVEN IF she is a total bitch, this is their day, you don't have the right to ruin it for them even if you hate her.
 
He does have the right, fool. Why would they say "speak now or forever hold your peace" part if they didn't mean for it to be used!
 
what kind of business do you have?

this changes things, because you have a vested interest in ensuring that your brother has no reason to change the business relationship with you. just support him, dont say anything negative about his choice of woman. you can't fix stupid.

At my fathers birthday dinner when I left to go to the bathroom she announces that if they have an autistic child they will name it after me.

He really doesn't take criticizing well, at all. He used to flip out when you would point out that he was abusing the hell out of his dog.

Sounds like she and your brother deserve each other.

The best response. Hell, the only response.
 
To all the people saying that you should let it go and let them get married: I keep thinking she will do something later down the line of their marriage. If she seems as much as a bitch as im thinking, she will not be above cheating on your brother. I say make sure he doesn't marry her. If she cheats on him (without prenuptial agreements) she will probably take the child so she can get paid child support. All of this money accumulating over 18 years and depending on how many children they have, this will cost more than the bullshit wedding.

Make him kick her ass to the rocks, there are plenty of women out there.

I would demand a pren-up because she could potentially get a large sum of the business [either money or otherwise] if they do get divorced. That influences you directly and your bottom line.

Mos def do this. His libido doesn't have the right to infringe on your life, especially monetarily.

So I am looking at a $200 a night room, buying their fancy asses a gift (they only registered at Williams and Sonoma!) and throwing a bachelor party.

This is the worst fucking part about weddings. (Getting stuck paying for "their" special day beyond a gift.)

Thankfully I can balance the scales of justice at the one I'm going to this month because it has an OPEN BAR. I am going to Conan the Destroyer that shit. (You think your puny time limit on it is going to stop me? mwahahahaha)
 
Don't bother doing it at the actual wedding. You'll just look like a nut, and will get blamed for ruining the day. Even if members of your family agree with you, they won't back you up at the wedding. Now if you talk to your brother privately, you might be able to put the brakes on the wedding.

Your objection isn't going to stop the wedding unless it is something shocking that your brother didn't know. And since you know about her sleeping with her old boyfriend after breaking off the engagement, I'll assume your brother found out first and passed that info on to you.
 
Maybe he knows something you don't like the girl is a dirty, dirty tramp and will screw him anywhere, anytime. Some dudes will put up with anything if the sex is good enough. It's like some joke I heard once about there being a proportion to how hot a chick is against the "crazy quotient". :lol

I say start digging and find some dirt... Either that or find some way of tricking the chick into cheating on him and get proof.

Hey, if it could work in a movie...
 
Hmm... well let me know what you decide. After meeting the d-bags my little sister has dated so far I expect to be in your boat someday.
 
First you need to form a coalition of the willing. Don't stand up alone, have family members stand up with you to object. It'll be more powerful and invoking in that way.

haha. I personally don't think it's very funny to joke about that sort of thing. Considering my GF has a mentally challenged cousin and my sisters work with special kids.

Both of them are on prescriptions for who knows what. I think he is taking aderall and she is on lexapro. God only knows what will happen if they go off meds and try and have a baby.

If all the other shit is not enough to discourage him IDK what will. The only reasonable thing I think I can do is not go.

edit: hmm. I have thought of something. She is an uppity bitch. All I have to do is convince her that my brother is a loser. Should not be too hard. I am just going to casually bring up some interesting facts that she may have not heard before. :lol
 
What do you anticipate is going to happen if you go through with it? Your brother will say "Fuck man you're right! Thanks!" and then run out of the church?

All you'll be doing is losing a brother. You need to talk to him beforehand, 1on1, or not talk to him at all about it.

Dude, they don't actually ask that anymore. It's only in movies. And if they ever did it, it was for legal and/or religious reasons, not for people to just say, "I think the bride's a bitch."
Click to expand...

Sure they do. Church weddings in the UK include the line, and there's an opportunity to object at services for several weeks prior to the wedding. And yes, you need a 'just cause or impediment why these two may not be joined together in holy matrimony'. "I think she's a bitch," doesn't cut it.
 
I am going to try some good old fashion sabotage. She tries to act like she is rich even though she still gets an allowance from her parents. My bro has collectors after his ass all the time. I think if I shed a little light on how horrible he is with money she will freak out and leave him.

Do not do this. This is the very definition of a bitch move, and your brother will hate you for it.

This is a TERRIBLE idea. Don't attend the wedding, it's infinitely more classy and a more poignant statement than this totally garbage idea.

Don't go, and tell your brother ahead of time WHY you're not going, the same way you explained it to us. That is really the only solution. If he still wants to get married, back the hell off, stay home, and let HIM deal with his choice.

At this point I don't really care. Some more interesting shit has come to light that I don't want to get into here for legal reasons.

And, wait, she's the bitch?

If I can't make him see what a bitch she is the only option is to make her see what a loser he is.

Why do gaf posters always come here for advice, get surprisingly sound advice (for the most part), then, WITHOUT FAIL, take a 180 degree detour from logic and make matters unnecessarily complex, dramatic, ill-advised, etc.???

It absolutely never fails. What were the chances that Flo was going to actually talk to his brother in a civilized manner about the same issues he so openly talked to us about, then re-assessed the situation on whether to even attend the wedding and allowed his brother to ultimately make a decision that's only really HIS to make??

Since this is gaf...........ZERO.
 
do it, but make sure you have your shit together. don't lose your train of thought from being nervous and just let everyone know how this woman is. make a presentable case and maybe others will have the balls to back you up.

Like I said before, its been brought up to him before by his friends family members and others. He will not listen. He literally thinks he is smarter than everyone.

HE WAS THERE when she said all that shit. HE KNOWS she went back to ex. #2.

Like I said there are some new circumstances. He is stealing from me. This shit will not stand.
 
The only thing I would recommend is to get other people, family, friends, whoever, who feel the same way you do, and sit him down and discuss this together. One person objecting he could ignore, but a group of people all airing the same grievances I would hope would get through and realy think about this.

this

they might not even ask the question and if they would you will feel fucked looking at all the faces at that moment
 
Another GAF staple: a thread with a seemingly simple premise that takes an unexpected turn into oblivion and drama.

The only thing funny about these is that people will continue to give you advice based on the original premise. :lol

Almost completely true. There was that one guy who worked at a bank that took the advice. But that was the exception, not the rule.

Oh please OP. Please do this. And film it. Film it for GAF.

After you yell "OBJECTION" you have to slam both hands on a nearby desk. Then you must wiggle your index finger back and forth until you've finished speaking.
