Divorce ceremony ?

31 Oct 2011

Have you ever heard about Divorce ceremony?  Until when I watchd on TV, I never known such a incredible event. It must be a kind of joke, but it really exists in Japan and somebody do business officially… Can you believe it?

Generally, image of divorce is rather sad or dark than happy or brilliant. On the other hand,  divorce also gives freedom and joy for separated couples  - this is the target for divorce ceremony.  Let’s  see more detail together

- Program

Speech by host how couples made the final decision for divorce

Speech by couples

Speech by freinds who experienced divorce

Hit wedding rings by hammer for the last task together

Buffet  (No alcohol for avoiding fight!!)

Not like wedding dress, divorce dress is shorter as cutting  your love to partner.  Some guests wear in black like funeral.

 Wow…  I lost my words … wonder how many couples want to have such a ceremony for their divorce. However, each couple has different opinion  as wedding. If they want to divorce officially in front of people, it is all fine. Divorce is not as tragedy in our life as before. “Restart your  life” will be soon added on new dictionary for Divorce – I feel. I don’t think divorce is bad if  both can start better life after separated by mutual agreement. But even so, it is difficult for me to understand this trend and hope nobody invites me…
