Getting Married in Heaven
On their way to a justice of the peace to get married, this couple has a
fatal car accident. The couple is sitting outside heaven's gate waiting on
St. Peter. In conversation while waiting, they wonder if they could possibly
get married in Heaven.
St. Peter finally shows up and they ask him. St. Peter says, "I don't know,
this is the first time anyone ever asked. "Let me go find out," and he
leaves.
The couple sits for a couple of months and in conversation, they begin to
wonder if they really should get married in Heaven, what with the eternal
aspect of it all. "What if it doesn't work out?, " they wonder, "Are we
stuck together forever?"
St. Peter returns after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled.
"Yes," he informs the couple, " you can get married in Heaven."
"Great," says the couple, "but 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?" exclaims the frightened couple.
"Jeez!" St. Peter exclaims, "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!?"
