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 obey' and, be faithful
to her forever,' 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 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."
The groom leaned toward the pastor and hissed,
"I thought we had a deal."
The pastor put the $100 bill into his hand and
whispered back, "She made me a much better offer."
