Wedding Vows

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 'forsaking all others, 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 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."

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."
