On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple tragically got into a fatal car accident.

Moments later, they found themselves outside the Pearly Gates, waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.

As they sat there, a thought crossed their minds. Could they still get married in Heaven?

When St. Peter arrived, they asked him, “Is it possible for us to get married in Heaven?”

St. Peter looked puzzled. “Huh. That’s a first. I’m not sure… Let me go find out.”

And with that, he disappeared.

The couple waited. And waited. Months passed.

As they waited, they started discussing the reality of an eternal marriage. What if it doesn’t work out? Are we stuck together forever?

Another month went by before St. Peter finally returned, looking exhausted and a little disheveled.

“Yes,” he said, sighing. “You can get married in Heaven.”

“Great!” the couple cheered. But then they hesitated.

“Uh, just one more question… What if things don’t work out? Can we, um… get a divorce in Heaven?”

At this, St. Peter’s face turned bright red. He slammed his clipboard on the ground and shouted—

“OH, COME ON!!! It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it’ll take to find a lawyer?!”
