The Marriage Vows

When I got married in the early 1990's, my wife to be came up with the brilliant idea to write our own marriage vows. I never really took her seriously until the morning of the wedding when she called me up and asked me if I had written them yet. I was sitting there watching some Three Stooges videos with my little brother and my nephew so I used the Stooges as the inspiration for my wedding vows. What better role models for the institution of marriage than Larry, Curly, and Moe. In one of the skits we watched that morning Moe asked some man "Are you happy or are you married?" About that time a flower vase came flying out of the door, the man ducked, and the vase cracked over Moe's head. Moe picked himself up, dusted himself off, and replied "You must be married." My vows turned out fine but she was lucky when the preacher asked me if I took her to be my wife, I didn't reply "Soitanly!" and slap him. Maybe I should have gone with that. A classic Three Stooges pie fight would have been great at the reception. My in-laws would have loved it and please note the sarcasm....
