In the weeks following my divorce, I resolved to go to Paris and throw my wedding ring into the Seine. I was searching for a symbolic way to mark a new beginning and this seemed fitting, given our five-year marriage had finally ended on Pont Neuf – the one thing my ex and I agreed on. Then my mother reminded me that one of our two sons might want the ring one day so, instead, I settled on a divorce party, an American rite of passage that has become a growing trend over here.
