Once the Decree Nisi has been pronounced is it possible to cancel it even if the other party still wants a divorce?

Once the Decree Nisi has been pronounced is it possible to cancel it even if the other party still wants a divorce? My present partner and I are divorcing our previous partners and want to get married but we are concerned that our previous partners may attempt to cancel the divorce proceedings if they find out we are getting married to prevent it happening.

If one or both of your existing spouses refuses to apply for the Decree Absolute, this could hold things up as you would have to wait a further three months before you could apply for it.

Otherwise, they could only realistically apply to have the proceedings withdrawn if  one of you were going to be reconciled with your ex - so it's not very likely.
