Let’s Make A Deal

During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the minister with an unusual offer. 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 forsake all others,” I want you to just leave that part out.”

He passed the puzzled minister the cash and walked away satisfied.

On the wedding day, when the minister came to the groom’s vows, he looked the young man in the eye and said, “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, looked around at the guests, and managed to answer, “I shall.” Then he leaned toward the minister and hissed, “I thought we had a deal!”

The minister slipped the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”

I tell you, my hands were shaking when I took this photo. My charm didn’t work well that day. Please bear with the artwork of an amateur paparazzi. =)

If I could spot another wedding, there’s a bigger chance that this photo will disappear.

I really love this photo Ate Leen! I like the focus on the couple and that you included the photographer and that group at the right which didn’t actually distract me from the picture’s point of interest but added story to it. Great job Ate Leen!

I have a suggestion. I think it would be better if you will crop in photoshop the guy wearing stripes at the left.

Thanks Nicks!
