Made to Bark, I Married Another; They Regretted It

On the day I came to bring my bride home, my fiancée's ex-boyfriend blocked the doorway, his face full of provocation. "You want to take Amelia? First kneel on the ground and bark like a dog ninety-nine times, to show that after the wedding you'll obey Amelia absolutely, like a dog." The whole thing struck me as absurd. Who lets their fiancée's ex block the door at their own wedding? Then the man spread his legs apart. "Then crawl through between my legs like a dog, or it means your heart isn't sincere."
