The ending of a marriage usually comes along with a marital settlement agreement which spells out the terms of the division of property This process can be painful since over the course of the marriage an individual can become attached to certain material items. Interestingly, divorced individuals have started to compensate for items rendered in their settlement agreements by having a form of celebration.
Recently "unbridled showers" have come into the spotlight and are quickly spreading across the country. The idea came from bridle showers and the celebration of a new life. Males and females are both sending out their own invites to the unbridled showers.
