An Unusual Offer
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, "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."
