You Both Look So Lovely in Your Divorce Pictures

breakin up is hard to do

I can verify that one of the first things you do when you decide to get divorced is to take down the wedding pictures and put them away. (Some folks probably rip or burn them, but I'm guessing that depends on the nature of the split.) It's a sad moment, when you remove the evidence of a time when you were a happy, optimistic couple just starting out on married life together.

Well hell, why not just replace them with some pictures that commemorate your new, love-has-torn-us-apart divorced life? At least that was the brainstorm of one photographer, who says divorcing couples all over Italy are lining up to get a wedding-style album of their breakup. Because it's a milestone, you know. Um, what exactly do you wear though? 

The photographer says, "…I started to offer photo sessions for freshly divorced couples—them smiling or shaking hands or in some cases even kissing." Good lord, shaking hands? "Thanks for the good times, champ, and too bad it didn't work out." Do you come up with a divorce song too, and maybe get some sort of cake that you split 50-50? Somehow I have exactly zero desire to do this. But hey, tell me what you think…
