Listening to this, the groom became extremely embarrassed and said, ‘I apologise upon this weakness of mine.’

The bride replied, ‘Your excuse is with you; however, I cannot stay in the house where sustenance for the next meal is preserved. Now, either I will stay here or this piece of bread will.’
