On their way to get married, a young couple is 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 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,
SHOULD they get married, what with the eternal aspect of it all.
"What if it doesn't work?" they wondered, "Are we stuck together
FOREVER?" After yet another month, St. Peter finally 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'll take
me to find a lawyer?
