"SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER REMAIN SILENT" (The Wedding Day Conspiracy)

"If anyone here has any reason why these two should not be joined together, let him speak now or forever remain silent"
....The priest had barely concluded his words before we heard the doors yawned open paving the way for this tall, dark-skinned, fine looking young man, dressed in a nicely cut grey suit. The knocks of his shoe heels on the floor was all that was to be heard in the auditorium, as the whole place had gone dead silent on his appearance.
Startled by this scene, and confused by the thought of trying to reason out what exactly was going on, the priest could at best draw out his white handkerchief from the pocket of his robe as he wiped his face severally as if to say, every one wipe made him see better.
For all those minutes it took this man to make his way up the alter, I understood better the meaning of the medical term "SHOCK".
The bride, you mean what was happening to her? I fear we don't go there, she had gone past the stage of something happening to her, at the moment she had been "Happened to" already. If one will judge the atmospheric condition by the virtue of the number of shakes per seconds displayed by the bride, one should have no doubt believing we were in Moscow and the winter has been blowing heavily.
A quick look at the groom revealed nothing but anxiety. Within 60-seconds, he had slackened and re-adjusted his tie almost 12-times. I've never seen a face so ruffled. At that time, this young man was wearing what I'll call the "World Most Ruffled Face". Both his fists as i observed at the time had been folded, it was glaring he had hanging somewhere in his options, a cold blooded wrestle/fight.
Back to Jaiye, oh pardon me, I never told you his name.
Jaiye made his way down to the alter amidst overwhelming confusion wrapped in grave silence. Not one man could utter a word, obviously this movie began to look like ending as a one man show.
"Who are you youngman?" (Alas, a courageous sentence from the priest broke the silence).
And what exactly are you here for?
I'm here in response to your call made earlier about a reason why these two should not be joined together. Sir, I've got just one question to put to you, and this esteemed audience, and that'll be all. (Jaiye spoke with such confidence, he became more threatening speaking than he was walking up the altar).
By this time, both the bride and her super-hero looking groom had gone numb, they were worse than vegetables.
Right there where I sat, I whispered to myself, saying; "This is the best wedding ceremony I ever attended". Call me a devil, I wouldn't mind, but I've grown sick of attending dry-one-way wedding ceremonies. I was glad to hear recently that an American Rock star by the name Avril Lavaigne got wedded in a black dress/gown, defying the odds and norms of the usual white garment worn by ladies. (Am not about what's right or wrong here, rather breaking silly folk lores that hold no water. Like how does that blue, red, white, black, indigo, fuchsia-pink apparel you'll die for, impact your marriage and its afterwards?)
It baffled me always to hear the preacher/priest utter those lines; ("If anyone here has any reason why these two should not be joined together, let him speak now or forever remain silent"), and we see no one walking down the corridor or raising their hands to respond to this call.
Could it be that no one present there has a reason or two why they should not be joined together as man and wife?
Could it be that everyone getting married are saints and have done it all right in the build up to getting a spouse?
Could it be that there has been some bribing and settlements done earlier/in time to avoid anyone speaking up in objection to the marriage on the D-day?
ORRRRRRRR....
Could it just be that a peaceful and objection free wedding ceremony is one between two people who "CLEARED THEIR LOGS" perfectly???
*********DEEP SIGH***********
(Now its yours for the thinking.)

.....Alright, you may speak. (Said the priest, in response to Jaiye's 'speech')
(Jaiye now speaking) : Sir, I need to get something right here, did you say earlier that; "If anyone HERE has any reason why these two should not be joined together, let him speak now or forever remain silent"?
(Priest now speaking): Yes, I did, you heard aright.
(Jaiye now speaking): Fine, thank you Sir, I'll also as a matter of urgency and importance want to know if that word "HERE" covers both the auditorium and outside it, because outside there stands one man presently being restricted from gaining access into this auditorium by security personnels, he claims he has a million and one reasons why these two should not be joined together.
(That sentence did not end before the bride collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness).
(As if that was not enough),
Jaiye continued thus;
Also, there is another man here on hold(he brings out his mobile phone from out of his breast pocket) who claims to have reasons why this wedding cannot progress beyond this stage.
(Now it was the turn of both the Groom and one of the officiating ministers to slump under the shock).
A CONSPIRACY??? maybe?

That (il)legal Tender.

"A huge number of humans have their Truth-Reserve/account either fat or static. We rarely withdraw nor spend from it, and will rather run life's transactions with that (il)legal tender, LIES". -TW™ Its not so amazing today how accepted, tolerated, and infact enjoyed (in the actual sense) lies are. Little wonder I chose to coin it as "(il)legal Tender". Illegal tender in every sense of it, yet legal tender judging by the widespread acceptance and employment of it. Why Account? Account owing to the fact that we know the truth, identify it, gather it, but yet fail to employ it, resulting to a mere build up (Account/Reserve) in our hearts, while refusing to spend/transact with it. Note: Truth spent yields even more dividends that truth stored. Why Lie? The "cover my/your arse" mentality/syndrome has taken the good-life over from us, I wonder why on God's earth we left our arses open in the first place, and who told us lies truly covers anyone'

You Didn't Deserve To Die, I Didn't Deserve Your Life.

"Though you knew the world won't receive you, you still gave your life to try. Wonderful Jesus, how can I fathom you!" -TW™ What a burden you chose to carry, what a load of Sin. Without my burden, you rode on a donkey, with mine and the whole world's upon you, you decided walking on your feet was better. What manner of man are you? You saw us kill you, yet you allowed it, for you, anything will do, just as long as it'll please the Father. The bruises and the stripes alone was good enough, if it was just about the shedding of blood, you gave it in good quantity through the torture suffered in the hands of the Roman soldiers, you really did not need to die. This was more, this was great, in fact, "Greater love than this no man can give". You paid it all, you laid your life, you paid the ultimate price that I might live. Rejected and abandoned, yet all you saw was me. Disgraced, crucified and killed for a crime you had no hand in, yet all you saw w

"Meanings Make The Man, His Definitions Define Him"

"Its difficult, if not impossible to respond beyond your heart". How do I mean? "Your conceived, derived and/or imbibed idea of thing, defines your attitude towards it"-TW™ You've always wondered why you act the way you do, react the way you do, or respond to things the way you do. Hey, am not talking temperaments here, the boss (Tim Lahaye) already did, and he "took it to the cleaners'. Even in deceit, its a hard thing to behave/respond to a thing beyond what you think about it, know about it, and the values you have placed on it. Catching a golden mug falling directly towards your head for example is a scenario that captures correctly an aspect of my discourse. There exist a couple of options to this, and believe me, every man could respond differently to this situation. One of the responses to expect, which I know you know already is; Catching the mug, preventing it from hitting your head or even the fall. Another response would be; completely do
