In the course of the wedding rehearsal, the groom
draws near to the pastor with an uncommon offer: "Look, I'll give you $200
if you'll alter the wedding vows. As you get to the part where I'm supposed the
pledge to 'love, honor and obey' and 'be faithful to her forever,' well, I'd be
grateful it if you'd just leave that out." Immediately, he gave what he had
promised to the minister a $200 bill and disappeared like a lightning.
Come the wedding day, when it came time for the
groom's vows, the pastor gazed at the young man’s eye and pronounced: "Will
you swear to prostrate yourself before her, follow her every command and wish,
serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, and vow perpetually
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 leaf though, and grumbled in a
microscopic voice, "Yes," then leaned toward the pastor and whistled:
"I thought we had a deal."
The pastor put a $200 bill into the groom's hand and
spoke softly: "She made a better offer."
