It appears that a couple got killed in a tragic car accident before they had time to get married. As a result, upon reaching the Pearly Gates they asked St. Peter if it would be possible for them to get married in Heaven. "Difficult," said he, "but we'll see."
The couple waited patiently for five years--nothing. Again approaching St. Peter they asked the same question. "Very difficult," said he, "we'll see what can be done."
A further 5 years passed, and the couple went back to St. Peter yet again. "Great news," he said, "At last I'm able to accommodate your request."
Happily, they were married but, as happens on Earth, it wasn't long until it was obvious that the marriage was not going to work out well and the couple felt they should separate. Reluctantly, they approached St. Peter for assistance. "My goodness," he replied " It took me ten years to find a minister, and now you want me to find a lawyer?"
