She took it the wrong way, and thought it a perfect example of male vanity. “In sickness and in health" is another howler that could be jettisoned. When I'm practical- ly dying with the 'flu,' she has less sympathy than she would have for a rattlesnake making She wanted the "obey" delet- ed from the phrase, "love, honor and obey," and fought me right up to the altar, where she mut- tered it only to avoid a scene. And, of course, she has never obeyed me since. In many ways, I agree with the trend.

"Well," I thought, "if this is the way these Anglicans do it, OK," made a smart left turn and was about to whip up a snappy salute, when my bride, who knew the damn fool was telling me to kiss her, solved the situation by grabbing me around the neck and kissing me. It was a beautiful kiss. I got a mouthful of her veil and that's about all. The last bit of farce at our wed- ding was when the preacher, being a little coy, looked at me and asked, "Would you care to salute the bride?"
