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 asked him.
St
Peter said, “I don't know
This is the first time anyone has asked
Let me go find out.”
The couple sat and waited, and waited
Two months passed and the couple are still waiting
While waiting, they began to wonder what would happen if it didn't work out; could you get a divorce in heaven
After yet another month, St
Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled.
“Yes,” he informs the couple
“You can get married in Heaven!”
“Great! 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, slammed his clipboard onto the ground.
“What's wrong?” asked the frightened couple.
“OH, COME ON!”, St
Peter shouted, “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?”
