That sounds like it will be one hell of a party, class-factotum!

How about a “My sweetie doesn’t have to pay alimony anymore to that lazy wretch who’s had the five years since he filed for the divorce (and she just now signed the papers) to get a job and her own health insurance and he even gave her the entire house and put her and her daughters through college because she wouldn’t go after her daughters’ father for child support” party? That’s what I am looking forward to celebrating five years from now.

Apparently one of the hot new party trends in Vegas (and other places) is the Divorce Party, complete with invitations and gift registries. There are even divorce cards you can send to people.

Wonder if they’ll come up with a new magazine too? And how about Divorce Gowns and Divorce Tuxes? And bouquets and photography and … okay, I’ll stop now.

As a companion rule to the above, never marry someone you wouldn’t want to divorce.

After my divorce a very dear friend of mine gave me 2 pieces of advice about remarrying. He said: 1. Never marry a man who doesn’t have his own health insurance. and 2. Never marry a man who presents you with a diamond engagement ring that is too small to be made into a necklace after the divorce.

I like the ring coffin, and I might have bought it right after my divorce. I still have that ring–what do you do with an old wedding ring, anyway? My kids don’t want it; I took the diamond out and put it in a mother’s ring; but I still have two (soldered) white-gold bands.

When I got divorced, my roommate got me a cake. Apparently the girl at the store had a great time with the “Happy Divorce, Kate!” part. Wasn’t anywhere near as elaborate as that cake, although it did the trick. As for the ring-coffin, I find that the shoebox wrapped in duct tape (which still lives in the aforementioned roommate’s attic) works just great for rings, the dried bouquet, photo proofs, and a couple of mix tapes.
