Well... uh... since the quote you used really doesn’t seem to imply a polygynal
relationship between the bridegroom and the virgins unless taken out of context,
shouldn’t you have found a better quote, unless you were making a joke? I mean,

Ha! That’s awesome. Who edited the text? The same people who run Fox news? The
fact that they cut out “feast” from “marriage feast” is hilarious. I’m almost
suprised they didn’t cut out words from intermittant sentences and mash them
together in a Simpson-esque manner.
