married in heaven.

[xen 0]

On their way to get married, a young couple are 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 begin to wonder:-

'Could they possibly get married in Heaven?'

 

When St. Peter showed up, they asked him.

 

St. Peter was somewhat taken aback and said, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out." and then walked back into heaven, closing the gates behind him.

 

The couple sat and waited, and waited, and waited. Two months passed and the couple were still waiting. And as they did, they wondered if they were allowed to get married in Heaven, what was the eternal aspect of it all. 'What if it didn't work out? Would they be stuck together forever?'

 

After yet another month, St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat

bedraggled, harassed and worn out.

 

"Yes." he sighed. "You can get married in Heaven."

 

"Great!" exclaimed 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, exploded, and slammed his clipboard onto the ground so hard that it shattered into a thousand pieces.

 

"What's wrong?" quaked the frightened couple.

 

" Good God!!! Screamed St. Peter. "It's taken me three sodding months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it would take to find a bloody solicitor?"
