Heavenly Marriage

On their way to a justice of the peace to get married, a couple suffered a fatal car accident. Later, sitting outside Heaven's gate waiting on St. Peter to do the paperwork, they asked if they could possibly get married in Heaven. St. Peter said, "This is the first time anyone has ever asked. Let me go find out."

The couple sat for a couple of months and began to wonder if they really should get married in Heaven, with the eternal aspect of it all. "What if it doesn't work out?," they wondered, "Are we stuck together forever?"

Peter returned after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled.

"Yes," he informed the couple. "You can get married in Heaven."

"Great," said the couple, "but what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"

Peter slammed his clipboard onto the ground. "What's wrong?" exclaimed the frightened couple.

"Sheesh!" St. Peter exclaimed, "It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it's going to take for me to find a lawyer?
