On their way to get married, a couple has a fatal car accident.
The couple is sitting outside heaven's gate waiting for St. Peter to do the paperwork so they can enter. While waiting, they wonder if they could possibly get married in Heaven. When St. Peter finally shows up, they ask him.  |

St. Peter says: "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has ever asked. Let me go find out," and he leaves.
They sit and wait for the reply, but begin to wonder if they really should get married in Heaven.
"What if it doesn't work out?" they wonder, "Are we stuck together forever?"
St. Peter returns after a month or so, looking somewhat disheveled.
"Yes," he informs the couple, "you can get married in Heaven."
"Great," they say, "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?" exclaim the frightened couple.
"Geez!" 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?"
