What a remarkable woman Dil is...their ceremony is one of the most moving things that I have ever seen. I pray that she finds new happiness.

Traditional weddings are the most beautiful I have ever seen❣️

Thank you, Sir Grayson, for designing this divorce ceremony. It was very moving. It's so important how we frame things, and this allowed them to lift up the good of the present and future and also acknowledge the good of the past.

Been thinking about this forever. It's completely natural to end a marriage, worldwide. If people want to get married--legally bound, for whatever reasons--acknowledge the probability of divorce, by some very simple process...taught from a young age. Step one: separate finances; Step two: do not adopt your spouse's name; Step three: give baby boys their father's last name; baby girls their mother's. Keep the good memories, and carry on. Hurray.

Perry's divorce ceremony was truly beautiful. I wish all people had the sense, mutual respect and sensibility to divorce like that. And to know if and when they need to divorce, rather than force themselves "for the good of the children" to stay in a relationship consisting of nothing but quarrels, hatred, aggression and disdain for each another, rendering themselves unhappy, embittered wretches, and wounding and traumatizing their children for life by having them witness all of it.

I am a Wiccan High Priestess since my Initiation in 1967. We have a Ritual of Handfasting (Marriage), and a ritual of Hand Parting (Divorce). We have Rites of Passage for all important points in the life of an individual. We honour a number of passages that do not exist in most other Faiths, and they assist us to adjust to the changes that come throughout life, from Birth to Death. Even the pregnancy is honoured in each trimester. The last law making Witchcraft illegal in the British Empire was repealed in 1951, and most of the basic Rites of Passage were celebrated in the family’s religious identity rather than in our own because people didn’t talk about being Wiccan. What Rites of Passage we may once have had fell by the wayside, but as Wicca gained acceptance more broadly, people began to ask for these celebrations within the Wiccan context. Over the years we re-invented Rituals to make this possible for our people. It has been a fascinating journey, and family members, experiencing our style of ceremony for the first time was often at a Handfasting. Every time we do a Ritual with family in attendance, the family members tell us how beautiful and meaningful they found it. We have even had non Wiccans ask if we would do their Weddings or renewal of Vows…and once a parent asked if we would do their funeral when it was time. People want, and need Ritual in their lives…especially the important moments, and many want something other than the traditional Christian Ceremony, as they do not feel it relates to how they think and feel.🖤🇨🇦

Beautiful show ✨

Another great journey in life. Tnx!

Grayson Perry what is there not to love about him.

Well, the divorced couple got on tv. Otherwise what a demeaning and valueless pretense of a ritual. But what are rituals when no emotions or values underpin them? A show.
