Getting married in heaven

[kenner 266]

On their way to get married, a young Roman Catholic couple was

involved in a fatal car accident.

 

The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting

for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.

 

While anxiously waiting they began to wonder; could they possibly get

married in Heaven?

 

When St. Peter arrived, they asked him if they could get married in Heaven.

 

St. Peter said, “I don't know. This is the first time anyone has

asked. Let me go find out,” and he left.

 

The couple sat and waited for an answer... for a couple of months.

 

While they waited, they discussed the pros and cons. If they were

allowed to get married in Heaven, should they get married, what with

the eternal aspect of it all? “What if it doesn't work? Are we stuck

in Heaven together forever?”

 

Yet another month passed before St. Peter finally returned, looking

somewhat bedraggled.

 

“Yes,” he informed 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, slammed his clipboard on 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 to find a lawyer???”
