A young bride and groom were on their way to their wedding ceremony when suddenly, theer was a terrible automobile accident, and both were killed.
The souls of the young lovers approached the gates of heaven and were met by St. Peter.
"Welcome to heaven!" Peter said warmly. "Do you have any questions for me?"
The young lovers looked at each other affectionately and asked, "We were just about to be married when we died. Is it possible for us to be married in heaven?"
St. Peter scratched his head and tugged at his long beard. "Hmmm.... no one has ever asked this before. You wait here while I go find out!"
Well, one month went by, then two months, waiting, waiting. As they sat there day after day, they began to wonder, "Gosh, suppose after a while, we are unhappy in our marriage. I wonder if divorce is allowed? We should have asked!"
Finally, after three months, St. Peter returns with the answer: "Children, I am happy to inform you that, yet, you may be married in Heaven."
The couple posed their new question and concern: "If we find that we are unhappy in our marriage, may we then get a divorce in Heaven?"
St. Peter turned absolutely livid with anger: "It took me THREE MONTHS to find a priest in Heaven, and NOW you want me to find a LAWYER!"
