The Heavenly Marriage
=======================
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 fiance 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 him and said, "I'm sorry, I've never heard of anyone
in heaven wanting to get married. I'm afraid you'll have to talk to the
Lord God Almighty about that. I can get you an appointment for two
weeks from Wednesday."
Come the appointed day, the couple were escorted by the guardian angels
into the presence of the Lord God Almighty, where they repeated the
request. The Lord 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 the Lord God Almighty said, "Please you must
wait another five years and then I will consider your request."
Finally, they come before the Lord God Almighty the third time, ten
years after their first request, and ask the Lord again. This time the
Lord 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
Ghandi came wearing his finest hand-woven sari.
But, you guessed it, the couple were 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?"
