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 start to wonder: Could they get married in Heaven?
When St. Peter shows up, they immediately ask him.
St. Peter replies, “I don’t know. This is the first time anyone has asked.
Let me go find out.” He leaves.
The couple sat and waited for St. Peter to return, but he never did.
Nine weeks later, and the couple were still waiting.
They started to wonder, if things didn’t work out, could they get a divorce in heaven?
Another month later, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled.
“Yes,” he informs the couple. “You can get married in Heaven.”
“Awesome!” the couple responds enthusiastically.
“But we were just wondering, what if things don’t work out?
Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?”
St. Peter’s face suddenly turned red with anger.
He slammed his clipboard to the ground.
Frightened, the couple asked “What’s wrong?”
“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?”
