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 begin
to
wonder: could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter
showed up,
they asked him. St. Peter says, " I don't know. This is the first
time
anyone has asked. Let me go find out, " and he leaves.
The couple sat and waited, and waited. Two months passed; the couple
was 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? " they wondered, " Are we stuck together F
OREVER? "
After yet another month, St Peter finally returns, looking somewhat
bedraggled. " Yes, " he informs 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, 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's going to take me
to find a LAWYER? "
