On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple was involved in a
fatal car accident. The couple found themselves sitting outside the
Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While
waiting they began to wonder; Could they possibly get married in
Heaven?
When St. Peter arrived they asked him if they could get married in
heaven. St. Peter said, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone
has
asked. Let me go find out," and he left.
The couple sat and waited for an answer... for a couple of months.
While they waited, they discussed the pros and cons. 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? Are we stuck in
Heaven together forever?"
Another month passed. St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat
bedraggled. "Yes," he informed 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, slammed his clipboard on the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
"OH, COME ON!!!" St. Peter shouted. "It took me 3 months to find a
priest up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take to find a
lawyer???"
