'I think women need to know that sometimes it feels like your life is burning down or you're breaking, but you're not.'The very first day I realised I was getting a divorce, I remember going on a sad bender, crying to my friends over bottles of wine. That was the hardest of seasons – so having a divorce party that coincided with my 30th birthday felt like closing the chapter.
Our marriage was very unhappy. We separated last summer, and the divorce was finalised in March this year. I earn a living as a business coach and influencer, and ended up paying out to my ex-husband in the proceedings - spending four times in legal fees what I was originally quoted. I felt like, ‘If I'm going to all of this money, then I should get a party to celebrate myself.’People choose to invest in a wedding because they think it’s an important moment in their life.
For the main event, I wore a $2,400 Clio Peppiatt dress – the same one Taylor Swift wore on her 34th birthday – and paired it with Louboutins, as well as treating myself to professional hair and make-up. I had everyone dressed in black because I thought it would look really chic and sexy. It’s funny, my mum said, ‘All black? Isn’t that like a funeral?’ I said, ‘Yes, for my marriage.
But my favourite moment was sling-shotting my wedding band into the ocean before we sat down for dinner. I asked my dear friend Andrew to be my ring bearer, so he was in charge of keeping the slingshot and the wedding band safe. It was a bit emotional, but my glass of Dom Perignon afterwards moved me through it. It was really healing, and maybe one day the wedding band will wash up on the shores and be somebody's gift from the sea.
