Match Made in Heaven
A young couple were driving down the road one day, happily,
deliriously in love and due to be married the next day. Suddenly, a
large truck swerved from the oncoming lanes into their car! BOOM! And
they both died. At the Pearly Gates, the young couple confronted St. Peter. "Sir, you
have to help us! We were to be married tomorrow. Is there any way we
can be married in Heaven?" "Hmmm," replied St. Peter, "I don't recall there ever being a marriage
in Heaven. Well, let's take it up with God and see what he says." So they approached God with their plea. God sat for a moment,
pondering the request. Then he looked down and said, "Come back in
five years and ask me again." Five years later, the couple approached God again, even more in love
than ever and pleading that he allow their marriage. God paused for
quite a while, musing over their request. Then he spoke, "Come back in
five years and ask me again." And once again, five years later, the couple was again in the presence
of God, more in love than ever and begging God's permission for the
third time to marry. This time God smiled broadly and thundered, "Yes
my children, you may marry!" Well, the wedding went off beautifully, the reception was huge,
everyone thought the bride was simply breathtaking and the groom was
soooo handsome, and everyone was happy! Until... Two years later, the couple was back before God, and things were not
looking so good. The couple had come to the realization almost
immediately that although marriages were made in heaven, they didn't
last very long there! And, in spite of their struggles to come to
terms with the situation, they had decided there simply was no
alternative but to get a divorce. Black clouds fractured by lightening rolled across the sky, and the
ground shook with explosive thunder. God glared down at the tiny
couple before him, his face becoming dark and angry, and he roared,
"Divorce?! Impossible!!! It took us TEN years just to find a priest in
Heaven! Do you have any idea how long it will take to find a
LAWYER?!!"
