During the =
wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual =
offer. "Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. =
When you get to me and the part where I’m to promise to ‘love, honor and =
cherish’ and all that stuff, I’d appreciate it if you’d just leave =
that part out." He passed the minister a $100 bill and walked =
away satisfied.
It is now the =
day of the wedding, and the bride and groom have moved to that part of =
the ceremony where the vows are exchanged. When it comes time for the =
groom’s vows, the pastor looks the young man in the eye and says: =
"Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every =
command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, =
and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not =
ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall =
live?"
The groom =
gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, =
"Yes."
After the =
wedding, the groom pulled the pastor aside and hissed, "I thought =
we had a deal."
The pastor put =
the $100 bill into the groom’s hand and whispered back, "I got a =
better deal. She gave me a $500.00 check . . from your =
account."
