Thankfully, they’re both decent enough people for them to wind up in heaven. Hand in hand, the pair walk up to Saint Peter, stood by the pearly gates, and ask him “is it possible for us to get married in heaven?”
Saint Peter thinks about it for a moment. “Wait here” he says before turning and walking into heaven.
An hour passes. Then two. Time keeps moving and the young couple have nothing but each other to entertain themselves. Eventually, the couple start talking more seriously, with one of them saying “I know I love you, but we’re young and we have forever in front of us. I fully believe this will work, but if it doesn’t… What then?”
Eventually, Saint Peter returns with a tired smile. “I just checked and, yes, you can get married in heaven.”
“Thank you” says one of the pair. “But we have been talking and… Just in case, is it possible to get divorced in heaven?”
Saint Peter starts saying some very unsaintly words upon hearing this question, giving his podium a heavy thump. “You’re kidding me! It took me most of a DAY to find a priest in heaven, and now you want me to find a LAWYER?!”
