On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple is
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 showed up, they asked him. 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, and waited. Two
months passed and the couple were still waiting. While waiting, they
began to wonder what would happen if it didn't work out; could you get a
divorce in heaven? After yet another month, 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 onto
the ground. "What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple. "OH, COME ON!,"
St. Peter shouted, "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?"
