                          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."
