They then find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them to Heaven. While waiting, they begin to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven?
When St. Peter showed up, they asked him. St. Peter said, 'I don't know. But this is the first time anyone has asked this question. So let me go find out,' and he leaves.
The couple sat and waited, and waited. Two months passed and the couple are still waiting.
As they waited, they discussed that if they were allowed to get married in Heaven, what was the eternal aspect of it all...
'What if it doesn't work?' they wondered, 'Are we stuck together forever?'
After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled. 'Yes,' he informs them "you can get married in Heaven."
'Great!' said the couple, "....but we were just wondering, what if things don't work out?.... Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?'
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground. What's wrong?' asked the frightened couple.
'OH, COME ON!', St. Peter shouted, 'It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?!'

A milkman and a lawyer died in one accident. Both were taken to the heaven. They met St Peter at the Pearly Gate. Later, St Peter took them to their homes, where they were expected to spend all of eternity.
They got into St. Peter's holy vehicle and headed down a gold road, which turned into a platinum road, which turns onto an even grander road, paved with diamonds, to a huge mansion where St. Peter turned to the lawyer and said, "Son, here is your home for the rest of eternity, enjoy! And if there is anything you need, just let me know." Lawyer happily thanked St. Peter and went inside the mansion.
Then, St. Peter took the milkman to his home, back down the diamond studded boulevard, down the platinum highway, down the street of gold, down an avenue of silver, along a stone alley and on an unpaved footpath to a shack.
St Peter to milkman said, "Here you go"
When St Peter was about to leave, the milkman caught his leg and asked, "Why the hell did the lawyer get the big mansion and I got this shack?"
St. Peter retorted: "Well, milkmen are a dime a dozen here, but we have never had a lawyer before.
