When my husband , at the time, informed me that “we did not have a future together,” I was in disbelief. I felt sad and painfully betrayed. It was like my ground was taken away. Later, I realized that was the best thing that could have happened to me, and I became very grateful for it. 😊
Rituals and ceremonies symbolizes important rites of passage. And, just like a wedding day, I made an entire day to celebrate my un-wedding day. The great symbolic moment was leaving my wedding album to beautifully burn at the temple in the magical Burning Man. It was very special!
My wedding day was beautiful, significant, happy and deeply joyful. And so it was my un-wedding day.
Rituals and ceremonies help us move forward to a new phase. It marks what is being left behind. A wedding states that the single life is over, and there is a commitment between those people. My un-wedding, represented the closure of a past relationship, and reinforced my commitment with myself.
Sometimes, some big changes in life are not expected or desired. They initially don’t seem as good or as happy. However, we have the power to choose the meaning we are giving to it, and how we will move forward. And nobody can take this power away. Nobody!
I hope you always remember your power too!
Happy un-wedding anniversary for me !
I love myself! 💕✨💃✨💕
These pictures are from my un-wedding day, a celebration of my (unexpected) divorce. I was purposefully wearing white and the earring from my wedding. This day was as joyful as the wedding day. And it felt good to leave the wedding album in the Burning Man temple to burn, in such memorable way.
