A small tourist hotel was all abuzz about an afternoon wedding where the groom was 95 and the bride was 23.
The groom looked pretty feeble and the feeling was that the wedding night might kill him, because his bride was a healthy, vivacious young woman.
But the next morning, the bride came down the main staircase slowly, step by step, hanging onto the banister for dear life. she finally managed to get to the counter of the little shop in the hotel. The clerk looked really concerned, "What happened? You look like you've been wrestling an alligator!"
The bride groaned, hung on to the counter and managed to speak, "Ohhh God! He told me he'd been saving up for 75 years and I thought he meant his money!"
95세인 신랑과 23세의 신부가 호텔에서 결혼했다. 신랑은 매우 약해 보인 반면 젊은 신부는 건강하고 활력이 넘쳐 잘못하다간 신혼 첫날 밤에 신랑이 돌연사 할 지 모른다고 다들 우려했다.
그러나 다음날 아침 신부는 계단 난간을 붙들고 거의 기듯이 내려와 호텔 내 가게에 간신히 들어갔다. 가게 점원이 물었다. "도대체 어떻게 된 일이죠. 당신 몰골을 보니 말이 아닌데요."
신부가 힘에 겨운 듯 간신히 대답했다. "그 남자가 75년 동안 절약했다고 해서 돈인 줄 알았는데… "
