During the wedding rehearsal, Bob the groom approached the preacher with an unusual offer: "I'll give you one hundred bucks if you'll change the wedding vows."
"What do you want me to do? the preacher asked.
"When you get to the part where I'm supposed to promise to love, honor, obey, and be faithful to her forever, just leave that part out."
The preacher took the bribe.
The next day at the ceremony, it came time for the groom's vows. The preacher looked Bob in the eye and said, "Will you promise to prostate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning, and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not even look at another woman for as long as you both shall live.?
Stunned speechless, Bob gulped and looked around. All eyes were on him. Feeling totally betrayed and too afraid to bolt from the altar, he squeaked out, "I will."
When the ceremony was over, the groom, whose shock had turned to anger, pulled the preacher aside and, through clenched teeth, hissed, "I thought we had a deal."
"We did" admitted the preacher.
Returning the $100 that Bob had given him the day before, the preacher whispered, "But the bride made me a better offer."
