The Rev. Makes a Deal
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...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 me and 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.
On the day of the wedding, when the bride and groom moved to that part of the ceremony where the vows are exchanged, 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.”
The groom then leaned toward the pastor and hissed, “I thought we had a deal.”
The pastor put the $100 bill back into the groom’s hand and whispered, “She made me a MUCH better offer.”
