start with something funny, and I heard about this groom. During the wedding rehearsal, he said to

the minister, I'll make a deal with you.

If you'll leave out all that honor, obey, and love stuff, I'll give you $100.

He slipped a $100 bill into the minister's hand and walked away with a smile.

The next day during the ceremony, the minister said to him,

do you promise to bow down before your wife and take her breakfast in bed,

fulfill her every desire?

He gulped in astonishment, said in a weak voice, I do.

He then whispered in the minister's ear, I thought we had a deal.

The minister handed him his money back and said,

Your wife made me a much better offer.

Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible.
