After dating a young lady for some time a young man
decides it is time to marry her.
He proceeds with all the necessary plans and finally the
day comes.
On the day of the wedding the young man has yet to pay the
pastor for performing the ceremony. However the pastor has
a plan.
The service proceeds as planned the vows are exchanged
etc. Now it is time for the groom to kiss his bride. The
pastor sees this as the perfect opportunity to ask to be
paid. He pulls the young man aside and asks him. Can you
please pay me?
Not wanting to create a seen the young man asked. How much
do I owe you?
The pastor thinks quickly and replies, pay me according to
your wife's beauty.
The young man discretely pulled out five dollars and gave
it to the pastor.
Although annoyed by this, the pastor continues the
ceremony and says; you may now kiss the bride. At this
point the veil is lifted from the brides face to allow the
groom to kiss her. As the groom is about to kiss his new
bride the pastor interrupts and promptly hand the groom
four dollars and fifty cents.
