I'd never heard of such a thing, but the Houston FOX station had a story about it Wednesday night. Take a look at it:

'Separation Celebrations' Trendy as Divorce Rate Increases

Did you throw one for yourself? Would you have? Check out the reporter's blog too ... some interesting remarks in there.

Yeah, these things are becoming big business. I saw a news report a few weeks ago where a company will pick you and your friends up in a limo, make dinner reservations for you and take you for a night on the town in celebration of your recent divorce. Almost made me wanna get married to get divorced. lol.
