Well if you thought divorce parties and cakes were a bit OTT for you wait until you read the below! In the US edition of Marie Claire they note a few different ways to move on from divorce. Which one surprised you the most?
Divorce registries: U.K. mega store Debenhams offers "divorce registries," where preselected gifts (dishes, linens, flat-screen televisions) are sold and delivered to the newly single.
Divorce ceremonies: In Tokyo, unhappy couples flock to the Divorce Mansion (a small rented room in a secret location) to smash their wedding rings with a mallet in front of family and friends.
Fireworks displays: The Great Northern Firework Company in England will set off a theatrical display of fireworks for just-divorced folks spelling out messages like "Free at last!" and "Just divorced!"
Networking events: "Life After Divorce" is a US$40 NYC-based event for women in the throes of a divorce where they drink cocktails named "Alimony" and "Settlement" and mingle with matchmakers, nutritionists, psychics, and divorce lawyers.
