My late Father-The Reverand Dr. Adam Cuthand

I'm recounting one of Dad's funnier experiences in his 30 years of Ministry.
"The wedding congregation were in Church for their family's special Day. Dad came to the part where the question is asked '...that if either of you know any impediment, why you may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, you do now confess it.' The brides ex husband stood up and yelled "I object!". The Father of the of the bride replied "you can't object you divorced her." Where upon the congregation went outside to settle the question. Dad said he sat quietly waiting for the outcome.He was trying to recall,what to do in such a situation. The disheveled congregation returned and announced,"The wedding can resume."
What happened outside I leave to your imagination.
