Heavenly Wedding

On their way to a justice of the peace, a couple has a fatal car accident. At heaven's gates, they ask St. Peter if it's still alright if they get married.

St. Peter says he doesn't know, it's the first time he's been asked, and tells them to wait while he finds out.

Months go by. The couple begins to wonder if they really should get married in Heaven, what with the eternal aspect of it all.  "What if it doesn't work out?" they wonder.

St. Peter returns after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled.

"Yes," he informs the couple, "you can get married in Heaven."

"Great," says the couple, "but what if things don't work out? 
Could we also get a divorce?"

St. Peter, red-faced, slams his clipboard onto the ground.
"Geez!" he says. "It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it's going to take for me to find a lawyer?"
