25 years ago today, my husband and I said, “I do.”
Feels like 25 minutes ago, and I have to tell you that the secret to happiness? Laughter. It really is as simple and as complex as that.
Here’s a small dose of wedding humor for you:
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.
It is now the day of the wedding, and the bride and groom have moved to that part of the ceremony where the vows are exchanged. When it comes time for the groom’s vows, 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 leaned toward the pastor and hissed: “I thought we had a deal.”
The pastor put the $100 bill into his hand and whispered back: “She made me a much better offer.”
A young couple were having their first fight, and it was a big one. After a while, the husband said: “When we got married, you promised to love, honor and obey.”
His bride replied: “I know. But I didn’t want to start an argument in front of all those people at the wedding.”
My Dad and I were talking the other night about love and marriage.
He told me that he knew as early as their wedding what marriage to my Mom would be like. It seems the minister asked my Mom, “Do you take this man to be your husband.” And she said, “I do.”
Then the minister asked my Dad, “Do you take this woman to be your wife,” and my Mom said, “He does.”
