If anyone objects to this wedding, speak now... or forever hold your peace

"Hold your piece" is not the same thing as "hold your peace," and they are not interchangeable.

The phrase is "Forever hold your peace," which means to make or be at peace with what is happening and to remain silent.

To "speak one's piece" means to say something prepared, as in an opinion or statement... so telling people to "forever hold their piece" is saying "don't ever say what you came here to say."

A. Hold your peace: Be silent, and be at peace.

B. Hold your piece: Shut up.

The most disturbing thing is what she chose to wear to the wedding. Utterly deplorable.

Yes, nice of mom to wear her shorts to the wedding.

His mom clearly didn't give two fucks about them getting married, which is why she didn't dress up for it.

I mean, she paid for the bride's dress! (rofl) So obviously, she had money to buy a nice outfit.

This Karen was actually funny. Hey, she stood up for her son!

And the groom just stood there, doing nothing.

For the mama's boys out there, if your mom seriously objected at your wedding to your partner, would you still go through with it? Again for the mama's boys who have mothers who are total cunts, but think their son is a perfect angel and vice versa.

Was this actually “The Wedding” or was this a Rehearsal?

It was the wedding, R7!

People don't do rehearsals in their wedding clothes.

R8 - But all the other people there were dressed like they came to mow the church’s lawn.

Must be Florida.

She paid for the dress yet she objects like this? odd.

And the groom stood completely silent throughout.

Oh I would punch that old bitch.

I couldn't hear.

What was her objection?

When the bride and groom were saying their vows R13, it sounds like the bride said something about loving him "despite his faults," and that's when his mom lost her shit!

"My son doesn't have any faults! How dare you criticize him!" Rofl.

R1 who said anyone here confused the two?

It was a pre-emptive "you may shut the fuck up," for the inevitable grammar troll bitch, R15.

The lady who stood in front of the mother reminded me of Dr. Robin Zasio from Hoarders. It was the fried blonde 80’s hair and likely leathery skin.

TRASH!!! Gotta love the groom in his rent-a-tux and white shoes.

My mom always wears jeans to funerals. I asked her does she have a pair of black slacks or chinos or something besides denim?

R19 wtf?

R19 wtf?

R1 thanks for the irrelevant post.

What are you expected to do if someone objects at a wedding. Is there a custom. Or you just lose your shit too.

Since the Datalounge holds that whoever is dressed worse is in the wrong, do we think the mother or the bride is dressed worse?

Sure, the mother is wearing shorts to a wedding, but the bride is wearing her gown so fucking tight that she's made a decent figure into a pot belly.

I wonder if the mother voted for Trump? LOL

This wedding ended in tears and a big Jerry Springer food fight.

"I paid for that cake!"

She seems nice.

[quote] it sounds like the bride said something about loving him "despite his faults,"

In that case FUCK HER. What an asshole move. She’s the real Karen here, not the mother.

Complete fucking nonsense. “Speak your piece” is the idiom. “Hold your piece” is not idiomatic English. It’s just gibberish.

There isn’t a corresponding opposite idiom for every idiomatic expression in English. If one says “break a leg” to a performer, to wish them well, one doesn’t say “quickly heal a fracture” to wish failure on a disliked performer.

Similarly, “a curse in the open” is not the opposite of “a blessing in disguise.” Again, it’s gibberish, precisely because an idiom is NOT the plain meaning of the words used. I mean, for fuck’s sake, do us a favor.

The groom is pathetic, and this marriage is doomed. Momma’s boy could have shut that down in a second. At least the bride frau spoke up for herself. The white trash mom is amazing.

In other words...

I hold my piece when I'm jerking it.

I agree. I'm happy to see that the bride stuck up for herself and didn't cry and run out of the room.

She's bragging about paying for the wedding. What wedding?!

LOL - she's wearing shorts and a t-shirt to her son's wedding.

She couldn't even be bothered to wear business casual.

Everybody hates to stupid people writing their own stupid vows, finally someone stood up and called the idiots who write their own vows badly on their shit!

Shorts Momma oughta be a Datalounge Icon!

I would have knocked Mom out cold.

The mom is going to be a fucking NIGHTMARE to deal with for the wife in this marriage considering the son just stood there like a dullard watching the whole thing and not saying anything. Pathetic.

It was a very Springer moment.

She's my hero!

I really like this lady. She was defending her son.

And she gave zero fucks about the wedding.

Florida?

You judgmental bitches cannot appreciate casual matrimony wear.

Not even a skort?

R42 probably weren't any available on layaway.

Jersey transplants to Florida?

R39 must be the mother-in-law. I can't imagine anyone looking at that and not thinking she's complete trash. My cousin has a psycho mother-in-law like this. She can't let go of her son and has done nothing but wreak havoc throughout their marriage.

I didn't think Karens came in white trash.

That is one sparsely attended wedding.

Also loving someone in spite of all of their faults/flaws is a classic lovey dovey cliche type of wedding vow. It's not some kind of arrogant passive-aggressive form of verbal abuse directed at the groom to be like his mother and a couple of posters in this thread took it as.

Shouting that you’re not leaving the cheap fly-by-night wedding because you paid for the dress is DL GOLD!

R47, it's probably sparsely attended because of Covid.

Also, the mom likely didn't pay for shit. She's probably conflating allowing her son to live in the trailer in the back yard as giving him money, which means in her mind, she paid for everything.

The poor bride is doomed. Her husband-to-be showed right there he has no balls and he will let his mother terrorize his wife until the day the mother dies or the wife divorces him.

weddings during a pandemic are super spreaders

The guy sitting next to the mother looked like he wanted to get swallowed up by the Earth. Looks like the father was trying to quiet her down. Mom is a complete harridan.

Shorts? At a wedding and no flowers or anything in that ugly church or whatever it is? Bet it's some kind of Baptist. They are always ugly and plain.

Does the mom own a gun? Were there guns at the wedding 💒? I’m glad the bride 👰 didn’t have her glock!

If this was Florida, the bride could have blown mom away by claiming she felt threatened.

Creepy breeder frau with inappropriate attachment to her SON. Women like that are the worst.

That was sad.

Waaaaay too much hosility in the room. There's no joy after something like that.

One wonders what the couple's history is and why mom is so hostile. It's possible that mom has a reason but it's still declasse to act that way.

[quote] Shouting that you’re not leaving the cheap fly-by-night wedding because you paid for the dress is DL GOLD!

She also paid $500 for "that guy over there," so the bride could act "high and mighty!"

ROFL!!!

Can anyone figure out what that was all about?

Lol at the 1 min 30 sec mark: "I gave that man over there $500 because he wants to live high and mighty!"

Followed by moans and groans...hahaha.

Sounds like people in the audience knew what she was referring to.

I need to know!!

Her name is Judy, not Karen!

[quote] I wonder if the mother voted for Trump? LOL.

That outfit says "yes".

Divorce in what,1,2,3 weeks?

Bet Mom will dress real nice for that filing...

Looks fake. Why are there no decorations, flowers, etc. Looks like they just got 9 people together after church for a gag. 'Mom' can't say she paid for anything but the dress because there's nothing and no one there.

[quote]The poor bride is doomed. Her husband-to-be showed right there he has no balls and he will let his mother terrorize his wife until the day the mother dies or the wife divorces him.

Well if he has so many faults and she's so perfect--we ignore faults when someone has a cunt between their legs--then maybe she shouldn't be marrying him in the first place.

[quote]The phrase is "Forever hold your peace," which means to make or be at peace with what is happening and to remain silent.

I thought it was "Speak NOW, or forever hold your peace."

this is why people are getting covid

I love how Americans always default to “Touch me and I’ll have you arrested!”

Challenge accepted - SLAP!!!

[quote] I love how Americans always default to “Touch me and I’ll have you arrested!”

To be fair, that bridezilla's family was on the attack.

I would have charged those fuckers!

The son is probably one of those passive-aggressive straight man who always has a total bitch around, because he wants to be thought of as the "nice guy" who is always sweet to everyone and who smooths things over, because he keeps a wife/girlfriend/mother around to bitch out anyone who annoys him.

The problem is he's trying to change out his bitch, and have his wife take over his mother's old role as the one who bitches out everyone in the vicinity. But of course, the mother isn't about to let go, and she'll probably get him back soon enough.

I should add that my own father is one of those straight passive-aggressive "nice guy" assholes who has his wife or mother bitch out everyone who displeases him, definitely including his children.

Unusually, his wife and mother get along beautifully, even though they're both stone-cold cunts who live to slam others. Apparently my mother did it by throwing her own mentally ill mother under the bus, and convincing her mother-in-law to treat her like a poor orphan who needed a surrogate mother, and in return my mother has ensured that her husband was dutiful and attentive towards his mother. But that's a much higher level of manipulative bitchery than you're going to get from this trash.

This wedding looks fun.

The dad tried to control the mom, then he just gave up.

The bride's family tried to control the mom, and they got threatened with having the cops called on them.

MomZilla wins!

Notice how even the pastor stayed out of it. lol

[quote]Does the mom own a gun? Were there guns at the wedding 💒? I’m glad the bride 👰 didn’t have her glock!

Then they would be holding yet another kind of "piece."

and yes trash like this vote and determine the future of the country

R9 is my favorite ... I had a hearty guffaw ... come sit by me sweetie

I love how the son just stood there with his hands in his pockets.

You can tell he knows better than to stand up to mom.

And his dad tried to act like a boss, but then sat his ass right back down.

Rofl!

[quote]What are you expected to do if someone objects at a wedding. Is there a custom. Or you just lose your shit too.

It's intended to be an opportunity for anyone present to state if there is any 'legal' reason the two shouldn't marry, such as one of them is already married or they're close relatives (brother and sister). No one stops a wedding just because a mommy frau Karens throws a tantrum.

Has anyone ever heard of anyone objecting at this point in a ceremony? Anyone outside of "Jane Eyre"?

Because I don't think that was the point where Shorts Momma lost it, I thought she was reacting to something in their stupid self-written vows.

I also thought the OP was making a masturbation joke.
