Joke:
There was a young couple, very much in love, who the night before they
were to be married, were both tragically killed in an automobile
accident. They found themselves at the pearly gates of heaven being
escorted in by St. Peter.
After a couple of weeks in heaven, the prospective groom took St.
Peter aside and said, "St. Peter, my fiancee and I are very happy to
be in heaven but we miss very much the opportunity to have celebrated
our wedding vows. Is it possible for people in heaven to get married?"
St. Peter looked at them solemnly and said, "I tell you
what, wait five years and if you still want to get married, come back
and we will talk about it again."
Well five years went by, and the couple still very much
wanting to get married, came back. Again St. Peter said, "Please, you
must wait another five years and then I will consider your request."
Finally, they come before the St. Peter the third time, ten
years after their first request, and asked him again. This time he
answered, "Yes, you may marry. This Saturday at 2:00 p.m., we will
have a beautiful ceremony in the main chapel. The reception will be on
me!"
The wedding went beautifully, all the guests thought the
bride was beautiful. Moses brought some flowers from the Nile River
Delta and Gandhi came wearing his finest hand-woven sari. But, you
guessed it, the couple was married but a few weeks when they realized
they had made a horrible mistake, they just couldn't stay married to
one another.
So they made another appointment to see the Lord God
Almighty, this time to ask if they could get a divorce in heaven. When
the Lord heard their request, he looked at them and said, "Look, it
took us ten years to find a minister up here in heaven; do you have
any idea how long it'll take to find a lawyer?"
Rim shot!
I sent this one to my sister. She's a lawyer and I'm a minister.
