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 shows up, they asked him.
"I don't know," St. Peter replies, contemplatively scratching his gray-haired head, "This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out."
He then leaves. The couple sat, waiting for an answer. A day passed, then a week, and then a month, followed by another. While they waited, they began to discuss the possibility of being allowed to get married in Heaven, which, in time, changed to the question of SHOULD they get married, considering the eternal aspect of it all. "What if it doesn't work?" they wondered, "Are we then stuck together FOREVER?" After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes," he informs 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, slams his clipboard to the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
"OH, COME ON!" St. Peter shouts, "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?"
