Divorce parties help achieve post-marital bliss
Maritime divorce lawyer Terry Shepperd says attitudes are shifting around how people deal with divorce because marriages aren't lasting as long as they used to. He says some young people have an easier time letting go of their past than their older counterparts.
"Generally, the younger the client, they're happy it's done and over with," he says.
"If they're older they tend to be more upset, tearful that their relationship has broken down."
For those in the mood to celebrate their newfound freedom, there's no shortage of ideas on how to throw the perfect divorce party.
There are party planning books that outline suggestions about selecting themes, invitations, and entertainment ideas. Recently divorced people can even purchase plates and napkins with slogans to let everyone know they're "single again." There's even a website with suggestions on what to do with wedding rings, once they're not needed.
"Give a dead marriage its proper, final resting place," says a selling point on weddingringcoffin.com.
"The Wedding Ring Coffin is the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one for bringing closure after a divorce."
Post marital BLISS? Hey, why not hold the divorce party at a swingers club, really show how "progressive" you are, it's a perfect match. Bury the ring, a symbol of love, and celebrate the end of a relationship while switching partners. Win/Win!
I understand that some marriages should end, but this is getting ridiculous. Maybe Heather Mills should hold a party, she has the money.
Heather Mills is on the offensive again after her $53 million divorce settlement with ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney.
She has posted a sign outside her mansion threatening the press with legal action for trespassing, reports say.
The 40-year-old former model placed a sign outside her Peans Wood Mansion in Robertsbridge, East Sussex that read "Private - legal action maybe taken against unauthorised persons found on this property.", Britain's Telegraph reported.
Oop's guess she's not in the mood to party.
The family unit is the most important component to the success of our society. A stable family life helps our children become well adjusted adults. A breakdown of the family unit makes it much harder for our children to succeed. To celebrate the failure of that family is wrong.
From the comment section at CTV:
Heather
As one who has come through a divorce that was not my desire to have, I can only attest to the grief, pain and horror of having half of your life suddenly ripped away from you. I continue to live through the hardships the children who, through no fault of their own, are forced to encounter. There IS healing available and, yes, new beginnings are possible - but divorce: something to celebrate? How ridiculous!
So, as one party celebrates, the other tries to adjust to their new reality. Someone is always hurt in the breakup of a marriage, always. "Progressives" are fooling themselves if they think a failed relationship is something to celebrate, but hey, "progressives" seem to think, if it feels good do it. This article, especially on Easter Sunday, is downright disgusting.

It appears some people can not read! It clearly says NO SWEARING will be tolerated.
Frankly if swearing is your only way to make a point, it doesn't say much for your maturity level.
