wedding humor

Keep your eyes wide open before the wedding, half shut afterwards.
(Benjamin Franklin)

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.
(Rodney Dangerfield)




After his husband forgot the wedding anniversary, his wife tells him: 'You'd better have something in front of the house, tomorrow, which goes from 0 to 100 in 4 seconds.' The next day, she finds, on the road, a bathroom scale.
