speak now or forever hold his* peace

Further to CK's story, there is an apocryphal story concerning a guy getting married, who had been guilty of many severe practical jokes at his friends stag nights and weddings. He told none of his friends about his own wedding, fearing some terrible reprisals. All went well until the minister asked the question "Does anyone know any just cause or impediment..?" etc.. A voice from the back of the church boomed out "I do!", and the whole congregation turned in shock to watch the protester make his way slowly up the length of the aisle to the bride and groom. Having arrived, he stared first at the bride and then at the groom and said "Dreadfully sorry, wrong church" and made his way out again.
