A couple were on the way to church to be married when they were both killed in a horrible automobile accident.
They next find themselves at the pearly gates and Saint Peter is there to welcome them in. They are really heartbroken that they were not married before they died and ask St. Peter if they can go ahead and be married in heaven.
St Peter says "Wow, that's an unusual request and I really don't know the answer. Wait here and I'll check on it"
Hours pass and the couple begin discussing their life together. I occurs to them that this is really eternity and that they will be married forever. They become concerned that it may not work out and wonder if a divorce is possible in heaven.
Several more hours later, St Peter returns looking tired and road weary. "Good news! I can get you married in heaven"
"Umm" says the couple "We've been thinking about it and were wondering if we could get a divorce in heaven if the marriage does not work out?"
St. Peter explodes" It took me all day to find a preacher up here. How do you think I will ever find a lawyer?"
