The Bribe

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 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,
"Yes," then leaned toward the pastor and hissed: "I thought we
had a deal."

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