On their way to get married, a young Catholic 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 showed 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, and waited. Two months passed and the couple
are still waiting. As they waited, they discussed that IF they were
allowed to get married in
Heaven, what was 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?"
