Let’s consider the following four cases.
1. Quietly announce to yourself, “Wait a minute.”
2. Declare “Wait a minute!” and do not leave the ceremony hall even if asked to “please leave”
3. Even though the bride is ignoring her, she keeps nagging at him in an attempt to stop her from getting married, saying, “Wait a minute!” 4. Forcibly takes the bride away from the stage by saying, “Wait a minute!” 1. It is barely safe and does not constitute a crime, but 2. is a crime of not leaving the house under Article 130 of the Penal Code, which means imprisonment for up to 3 years or a fine of up to 100,000 yen, and 3. is a crime of forcible obstruction of business under Article 234 of the Penal Code. The penalty is imprisonment for up to 3 years or a fine of up to 500,000 yen. Item 4 is a crime of abduction for the purpose of marriage under Article 225 of the Penal Code, and there is no fine, but a prison sentence of 1 year to 10 years. It’s good to enjoy it as a sideshow, but if you try to make it look cool like in a drama and actually break into it, you should be careful, as it may be a crime. Congratulate the bride and groom quietly.
