During the weeks before Brenda’s wedding, she was terribly anxious about making mistakes at the ceremony.
The minister reassured her several times, pointing out that the service was not difficult and that she would do just fine.
“All you have to remember,” he said, “is that when you enter the church you walk up the AISLE. The groom and best man will be waiting before the ALTAR. Then I shall request the congregation to sing a HYMN…. then we shall get on with the ceremony. All you have to remember is the order in which those things happen and you can’t go wrong.”
The happy day finally arrived, and the bridegroom waited nervously for his bride to appear.
When she arrived and stood alongside him, he heard her quietly repeating to herself, “Aisle, altar, hymn, aisle, altar, hymn.”
At that very moment, the bridegroom realized that his friends who had warned him about marriage were correct, as her thoughts which he could now hear quite clearly – “I’ll alter him. I’ll alter him.”
The Bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand.
Everyone in the room was wondering what was given to the father by the bride.
The father could feel the suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say something.
So he announced: ” Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the luckiest day of my life.”
Then he raised his hands with what is his daughter gave him and said,
“My daughter has finally returned my Credit Card to me!!!” The whole audience burst into laughter.
Except the Groom.

“Tell us Susan, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your husband?”
Susan responds, “Well, I’ve learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, meekness, forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness — and a great many other qualities you wouldn’t have needed if you’d stayed single.”
