On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple is
involved in a fatal car accident. The couple find themselves sitting
outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into
Heaven. While waiting, they begin to wonder: could they possibly get
married in Heaven? When St. Peter showed up, they ask him.
St. Peter says, I don't know. This is the first time anyone
has asked. Let me find out.
The couple sat and waited, and waited. Two months pass and the
couple is still waiting. As they waited, they discussed that if they
were allowed to get married in Heaven, what was the eternal aspect of it
all. What if it doesn't work? Would they be stuck together forever?
After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking
somewhat bedraggled. Yes, he informs the couple tersely, you can get
married.
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, slams his clipboard onto the
ground.
"What's wrong?" asked 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?"
