Op-Ed: A Fair To Remember

If you plan to divorce you mate but don't know where to begin? You can start your "New Beginning" by visiting Vienna's fair. Just remember to leave your spouse and children behind.
Anton Barz who has organized enchanting wedding fairs has turned his attention to the horrific and vulgar misadventures of divorce.

It seems that lovers who are in the throws of romance happily delve into stressful wedding plans. However when the fun of love and war has become nothing more than a crazed illusion, there is no magical escape.

In order to help these disillusioned individuals, the sympathetic Mr. Barz came up with tasteful but rather gruesome idea. He decided that couples whom have been robbed of the love and trust they once held for eachother are in need of guidance. Therefore he is hosting the world’s first divorce fair. This novel event is due to take place in Vienna on the 27th and 28th day of October 2007.

To date, as many as 20 exhibitors have registered. These vultures include lawyers, mediators, estate agents, life-crisis experts, private detective firms and DNA laboratories offering paternity tests. The affair is also offering a “series of lectures on subjects” such as the affect divorce has on children.

These disenchanted couples who may have at one time been perceived as being normal, will need to adjust to being viewed and labeled as dysfunctional.

One company understands the trauma of brutal marriages, which end furiously and fiercely in divorce. Therefore they are "offering divorcee’s a therapeutic package holiday." And, I doubt that these holiday packages are meant for two.

Perhaps, the next time you attend a wedding and the preacher asks, “Does anyone here know of any reason why these two should not join their hands in holy matrimony, please speak now or forever hold your piece.,” You should stand up and answer, “Do you know that in Vienna alone, 66% of all marriages end in divorce?”

    For someone who's always loathed being single, maybe I should stop whingeing about it. At least I don't have whole industries living on my failed relationships. "Horrific and vulgar", indeed.

    Interesting that with divorce rates like that, people are considered dysfunctional. You'd think they'd be considered normal.

    I think that the last statistics I heard was that 1 out of every 2 marriages fail. Out of 3 failed marriages...maybe some day I'll get lucky and have a successful one! LOL!

    Is it being single which you find as being loathsome or is it being without a significant other? Marriage can sometimes kill a decent relationship, or do I mean indecent?

    I think "marriage" is a bad word. It can make people do crazy things.

    Both, in both cases. Marriage used to be a sort of social compulsion, and I think that's where the problems started. My parents gave me a bit of advice which stuck: "Marry someone you like".

    Well, it could happen.
