On their way to get married, a young couple are involved in a fatal car accident. They find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St Peter to admit them to Heaven.
While 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 and find out."
The couple sit and wait for an answer... For a couple of months. As they wait, they discuss whether IF they were allowed to get married in Heaven, they SHOULD actually go ahead with it, what with the eternal aspect of it all.
"What if it doesn't work?" they wonder. "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!" say 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 on the ground.
"What's wrong?" ask 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?"
