Speaking of Church humor.

A friend of mine is a mail order Minister. He can officiate at weddings. The first such had him a little nervous. A performer all his life, he had never been the focus of something quite like this. And, he stutters. Singing seems not to be too bad for him, but in speaking roles, and especially when nervous, he does sometimes have a problem.

He was shaking nervous. And then, he said: "And who gives this man to be wed?"

It brought the house down. And it also ended his nerves. Nothing like a little levity in a serious moment to ease stress. The couple loved it.
