During the wedding rehearsal, the groom
approached the vicar 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 clergyman the cash and walked away satisfied.
The wedding day arrives, 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 vicar 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 vicar and hissed, "I thought we
had a deal."
The vicar put the $100 into his hand and whispered back,
"She made me a much better offer." |
