Funny Divorce Meme Shows That Splitting Up Can Be Celebratory (PHOTO)

Finally, A Meme That Illustrates How Many Divorcés Feel
|

Little known fact: Not all divorcés are shedding a river of tears, inhaling tubs of ice cream and blasting "All By Myself" after the split is finalized.

For some folks, a finalized decree comes after months and even years of battling it out with their ex in divorce court. The end of the divorce process is something worth celebrating, which is why we're big fans of the meme Redditor defchan posted on Friday to commemorate his finalized divorce.

Take a look:

Indeed.

A little backstory on the photo: It was originally posted by Redditor zagood about a year ago to celebrate his birthday and his new post-split life. "40th birthday," he wrote. "Going through a divorce. Moved in with my parents. Cheers!"

A sentiment that's perfectly worthy of a meme, if you ask us.

The Unitarian Universalists' divorce ceremony, called a "ceremony of hope" takes place in a church and is done in the company of a minister and an intimate group of friends and family, just like a wedding. In this way, the same community who helped the couple celebrate the beginning of the marriage is there to commemorate the end, according to Beliefnet. During the ceremony, the divorcing parties apologize to one another and seek forgiveness for pain they may have inflicted during the marriage.The ceremonies take place whenever the participants are ready, before or after a civil divorce has taken place.
