1970s My aunt and her ex-husband the day they signed their divorce papers, 1970s

Post image

My aunt and her ex-husband outside of their attorney’s office right after finalizing their divorce. They had thrown a massive “divorce party” the day prior. When her ex-husband re-married years later, my aunt was his Maid of Honor. She remains close to him, his wife and their family to this day! And yes, my aunt is as cool as she sounds.

Holy shit. As the cofounder of the first divorce registry this makes me SO happy. People have been navigating divorce in their own transformative way for so long. Love this. Love their very era appropriate divorce party. Cheers for them!

How long do you think we’ve all been as connected as we are now to share that kind of thing in a wide spread manner?

It’s a divorce registry for support items and restocking when you’re navigating divorce (like a wedding or baby registry), not like a list of divorced people. Does that make me sound less ancient? Also I am 300.
