Wedding Vows

[Bruce]

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. Just leave out the part about me promising to 'love, honor and obey' and 'forsake all others, being

faithful to her forever,'" 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 trapped groom gulped, looked around, and said in a tiny voice,

"Yes."

After the wedding, the groom pulled the pastor aside and hissed, "I thought we had a deal."

The

pastor put the $100 bill into the groom's hand and whispered back, "She made me a much better offer."
