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 supposed 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 the time comes for the groom's vows, the pastor
looks at the young man in the eye and said, "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, "I do."
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."
