A young couple are on their way to church to be married when they are tragically killed in a car accident.
Shortly thereafter, they both find themselves standing before the Pearly Gates, with St. Peter himself holding a golden clipboard and large quill pen, beckoning them forward. Realizing where they are, they put their heads together and after a few minutes of hurried whispers, they approach the good saint. "St. Peter, we were on our way to be married when our lives on Earth ended." St. Peter replies "Yes, I am aware of this." The couple then ask's St. Peter if it would be possible to be married now, right there so they could enter Heaven as a married couple.
St. Peter pauses for a moment, thoughtfully strokes his beard and say's "Well, that's a very good question. In fact, it's never come up! But I don't know if you can or not. Wait here while I go find out, please." And with that, he turns and passes through the gates.
He is gone quite a while. The young couple excitedly discuss the possibility of being married in Heaven, and as is normal, their thoughts revolve around only the good aspects of marriage. After a bit, though, the thought creeps into their minds of the bad aspects. What if they find out they aren't really compatible? What if it doesn't work out? Worried, they start to discuss the possiblity of divorce and if it's even possible!
After three days of waiting at the gate, the couple spies a decidedly haggard looking St. Peter walking towards them. As he emerges from the gate, he tell's them in a weary voice "I have found your answer, and it is yes, you can indeed be married here in Heaven!"
The couple thanks him, and then ask's him about the possiblity of getting a divorce if things don't work out.
St. Peter throws his clipboard to the ground an exclaims "Oh, come on! It took me three days to find a priest in there! How long do you think it's gonna take me to find a lawyer?!
