Wedding Vows

Before the wedding, the groom went up to the minister 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 expected to promise to `love, respected and obey her forever,` `give up all others,` and `be true to her forever,` I’d be happy if you just leave that part out”. He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom’s vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, “Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you’ll never even look at another, woman, as long as you both shall live?” The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself he said in a low voice, “Yes, I will.” Then the groom whispered to the minister,
“I thought we had a deal.” The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”

It's not the thing to joy with love.
