divorce parties: for or against?

Divorce parties became popular after actress Shanna Moakler gave one in Las Vegas in November 2006. The now-infamous divorce cake featured a shocking design: a bloody groom and a blonde, knife-wielding bride. Whereas for some people a divorce represents a traumatic experience, for some others, it can turn into a colourful, funny celebration with a cathartic effect.
What's your opinion then: for or against divorce parties?

StormGirl

neither for or against them
If this is what someone needs to move on then they should.
IMO personal opinion, neither a right or a wrong one..
If the man I am divorcing throws himself a party, well then, no explanation needed as to why Im done with the immature, cold hearted, self centred jerk.
If the failure of our commitment , and broken bond is something to celebrate, whatever floats his boat, and my condolence to the next poor woman that cares something for him.

Although if a few sombre drinks, a gathering of trusted supportive friends, and a night of reflection would probably do us both the world of good.
If that means a few isolated laughs, that can be good for the soul also...
...but a celebration... thats more a reflection of maturity ( lack of it ) than taste.

Haha! ;-)

It depends on the circumstances. If the divorce was inevitable and yet you did nothing wrong in the relationship, then you should "celebrate" or do anything that will make the transition better and easier to deal with. It doesn't have to be tasteless or harmful to the other person. If you're celebrating that you get to be with the next runner up on your list of potential partners then you might need to get your head examined.
I like the idea of trashing a wedding dress and having a photoshoot. It just seems cold and heartless, much like divorce. That can give someone some type of closure I would think, and it is something that is a part of their lives whether they had a choice in the matter or not (broken vows , etc)

I am against it, I mean, marriages are supposed to be happy!

I'm neither for or against, but I just look at it this way: if one breaks up with their boy/girlfriend and they're happy enough to celebrate with their friends, there probably wasn't much going on between the couple in the first place. the same is true in a marriage, in my opinion.

if my husband and I were to divorce, I think it would be a somber thing for both of us, no matter the circumstances. we have been in love for the better part of a decade and have been through so much together that even if we drifted apart, I doubt we'd ever celebrate our separation. our relationship has been too meaningful.

Definitely FOR. It is part of the therapeutic process and keeps you connected to your primary support system. Additionally, it symbolizes the progression of mourning the loss of a significant relationship and makes the statement "I'm OK, i'll be OK and no I can move on from this place". Put simply, it is a way to convey the statement that you are ready to move forward and allows you to reach out and accept the support of those who love you and will stick by you on your journey.

My sincerest apologies for not posting this in the proper place but the "bugs" thread is not letting me post.

For some reason a whole heap of stuff doesn't seem to be working properly. Noone's palettes/patterns are showing up on their profiles, just the bio and recent comments, I can't edit anything and none of the drop down menus are working.

Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me?

I just love this. The peachy colours look so calming and serene and then there's the grey and the turquoise which gives off a 50's feel (which I just love on its own). It's a perfect colour palette for this summer.
