On their way to get married, a young couple are involved in a fatal car
accident. The couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting
for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they begin to
wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter shows up,
they asked him.
St. Peter says, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let
me go find out," and he leaves.
The couple sat there and waited for an answer... for a couple of
months. While they waited, they discussed that IF they were allowed to get
married in Heaven, what if it doesn't't't work? Are we stuck together
FOREVER? Finally after several months, St. Peter returns, looking somewhat
bedraggled. "Yes," he informs the couple, "you CAN get married in
Heaven." "Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering, what if
things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slams his clipboard onto the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
"OH COME ON !!!" St. Peter shouts, " It took me three months to
find a priest up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it will take me to find
a lawyer?
