Accident at the Rehersal Dinner

The night before they were to be married a young couple was in a fatal car accident on their way to the church rehearsal.

The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.

While they sat there, still deeply in love, they wondered: Could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter showed up, they asked him.

St. Peter said, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out," and he left.

The young couple sat and waited for an answer. Weeks passed. While they waited, they pondered and discussed many related questions: "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?" They wondered, "Are we stuck together FOREVER?"

After a month, 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?"

"OH, COME ON!" St. Peter shouted, "It took me five weeks to find a priest up here!.......do you have ANY idea how long it'll take to find a lawyer?"
