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
they are waiting, they begin to wonder, "Could they possibly get
married in Heaven?"
When St. Peter shows up, they ask 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 sits and waits for an answer. It takes a couple of
months. 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, slams his clipboard onto the ground.
"What's wrong?" asks the frightened couple. "OH, C'MON!" 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?
