text: when you say your vows, the question is asked  does anyone object if someone says yes then what happens.?   it depends on the official. he/she may ask the objector to state their reason(s) and then ask if you wish to proceed. others may merely say, "noted" or something along those lines and continue on like nothing happened. there are some that will discontinue the ceremony all together as everyone in attendance must approve of the union.  my ex and i opted to write that part out of our ceremony. we'd already been together for six years and figured that if anyone had any objections, they'd had more than enough time to say their piece before the wedding.
