There's an old joke about what brides allegedly say:
"Aisle altar hymn!"

'Aisle' is normally kind of elided into one syllable, Susan, and so is 'child'. There was a debate on another thread about 'child'; some of us think it's exaggerating the word to pronounce it chi-uld. I believe you say 'toward' as one syllable, whereas it's definitely two to us!
