A man and his fiancee are driving in the rain. Seeing a deer in the road the man swerves and the next thing they known there is a large welcoming white light. When it subsides a little they find themselves in a very beautiful landscape standing before a man with a clip board welcoming them before a large pair of gates.
The man introduces himself as St Peter and explains that they have both passed away and are there to be admitted to heaven for eternity. Having dealt with the checking in formalities, it occurs to the lady that by passing away at that time they have been deprived of their marriage which still means a great deal to them both and so she poses the question whether they are still allowed to marry in heaven, and if so can they get a priest or vicar to officiate. St Peter looks concerned by the question and tells her that he has had no-one ask that question before and he will have to look into it, he asks if they can take a seat as it may take a little time.
The couple wait patiently for a while, having no concept of time they waited for what on earth would be about a year, chatting about their future. Eventually St Peter returned.
"Great news!" he announces "yes you can marry!"
"Ah, great. We have been thinking..." says the lady "what if it doesn't work out, can we get divorced?"
"Oh no..." says St Peter "...it has taken me a year just to find a vicar up here! Have you any idea how rare lawyers are, I'll be an eternity finding one of them!
