During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer:

“Look, I’ll give $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I’m to promise to ‘love, honor and obey’ and ‘forsaking all other, 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 has moved into that part of the ceremony where they exchange vows. When it came to the part where the groom will say his vows, the pastor looks the young man in the eyes 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 ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?”

The groom gulped, looked around, and said in a tiny voice, “Yes.” Then he leaned toward the pastor and hissed, “I thought we had a deal.”

The pastor put a $100 into the groom’s hand and whispered, “She made me a better offer.”
