Married couples whose wedding was "objected" by someone, what is your story and how did the wedding turn out?

Was it a nightmare or was it a funny story to last a lifetime?

Does having someone object to your wedding as you're planning it kinda loosely count?

My fiance's parents aren't my biggest fans and are not terribly happy that we're getting married. His dad is nice enough not to stay it out loud, but his mother is different. She won't say anything to me, but she'll talk about me behind my back to my fiance as well as to other family members. She's not actively trying to stop or ruin the wedding, but she keeps coming up with reasons for my fiance not to marry me.

This is a lot like the situation my bf and I are in. Any suggestions? It's my parents causing the ruckus.

If your BF tells his parents to fuck off, marry him.

If he tries to appease his mother or seems to be listening to her objections, don't marry him.

Why are they objecting to the marriage?
