A couple about to be married had a car accident the day before their wedding and died. At the Pealy Gate they asked, “St. Peter, we would really like to be married here in heaven.” Peter replied, “Why don’t you wait a few years to make sure you really want to spend eternity together.” “OK,” they replied. So they waited.
About a hundred years went by, and they asked again. Again Peter said to wait a while. So again they waited. Another hundred years passed, and they asked again. Peter finally said, “OK. Sure, why not.” So of course they had a grand wedding. About eighty years went by, and they went to Peter and asked for a divorce.
Peter replied, “Hold on! It took me two hundred years to get a minister up here. How do you think I’ll ever get a lawyer up here?”
