Marriage Made In Heaven

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 Gate 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 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?' they wondered, 'Are we stuck together forever?'

After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat be-

dragged. '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 just to find

a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find

a lawyer?'
