The night before the wedding, the groom quietly pulled the preacher aside.
After making sure no one was listening, he slipped a $100 bill into the preacher’s hand.
“I’ve got a small favor to ask,” he whispered.
“Tomorrow, when we get to the vows… could you skip all that stuff about love, honor, faithfulness, and forever?”
The preacher looked at the money…
Smiled…
And nodded.
“Consider it done.”
The groom walked away feeling pretty pleased with himself.
The next day, the ceremony began.
Everything went perfectly…
Until it was time for the vows.
The preacher turned to the groom, looked him straight in the eyes, and said in a loud, solemn voice,
“Do you promise to obey your wife without question…”
“…to serve her breakfast in bed whenever she desires…”
“…to cherish her every wish…”
“…and to never so much as glance at another woman for as long as you both shall live?”
The groom turned pale.
Every guest was staring.
With a shaky voice, he muttered,
“I… do.”
As everyone applauded, he leaned toward the preacher and whispered,
“I thought we had a deal!”
Without changing his expression, the preacher quietly slipped the $100 bill back into the groom’s pocket and whispered,
“Sorry, son…”
“Your bride made me a better offer.” 😂
