On their way to a justice of the peace to get married, a couple has a fatal car accident.
The couple is sitting outside heaven's gate waiting on St. Peter to do the paperwork so they can enter.
While waiting, they wonder if they could possibly get married in Heaven.
St. Peter finally showed up, and they asked 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.
The couple sit for a couple of months and begin to wonder if they really should get married in Heaven, what with the eternal aspect of it all.
"What if it doesn't work out?", they wonder.
"Are we stuck together forever?"
St. Peter returns after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled.
"Yes," he informs the couple, "you can get married in Heaven."
"Great," says the couple.
"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?" exclaims the frightened couple.
"Geez!" St. Peter exclaims, "It took me three months to find a priest up here!
Do you hav any idea how long it's going to take for me to find a lawyer?"
