Todays episode of the View featured a segment on divorce. Jill Testa, our founder, was in the audience and introduced the hosts to the Wedding Ring Coffin.

Jo Wood and the WRC

After a resounding victory in our “Who Gets the Coffin?” poll, Jo Wood, the former wife of Rolling Stone guitarist Ronnie Wood, became the proud new owner of a Wedding Ring Coffin. The United Kingdom’s Daily Mail ran this story (click here) about Jo and her Wedding Ring Coffin. We were thrilled to discover that she loved it! Jo had a little ceremony and placed her ring in the Wedding Ring Coffin, a perfect way to close the lid on her 31 year marriage.

We wish Jo good luck as she competes on Strictly Come Dancing as well as lots of happiness as she begins this new chapter in her life.

More Secret Lives

Did you watch “Secret Lives of Women” last week? Both Amy Botwinick and Angie Schmidt were so impressive. They’re great examples of women who were able to turn lemons into lemonade.

When Amy suddenly found herself getting divorced, she ended up writing a book about her experience, Congratulations Your Divorce . She continues to help women get through the painful process of divorce by running workshops as well as offering counseling.

Angie Schmidt started a website, www.smashingkatie.com, which sells a variety of fun, unique items to help deal with a breakup. BTW, Katie is the name of the other woman in Angie’s marriage—a good business woman and a good sense of humor!

Life after divorce—you never know what the future holds…

Secret Lives of Women

In the last couple of years, I’ve gotten to meet some great women with really interesting divorce stories. Amy Botwinick is the author of “Congratulations on Your Divorce” and Angie Schmidt is the founder of smashingkatie.com. Both women will be featured on “Secret Lives of Women” airing Tuesday, September 8th at 10:00 PM on the WE network. There’s even a chance that the Wedding Ring Coffin will get some air time. Don’t miss it! Set your DVRs and pop some popcorn!

Some Favorite Epitaphs

I was just cleaning up around the office and came across a discarded Wedding Ring Coffin plaque. It was one that a customer had wanted for his/her coffin, got scratched and so was just laying around. But it was one of the more witty ones we had been asked to create, and I thought I’d share it and a few other favorites with you.

Some happy, some sad. Some bitter, some resigned. At the end of the day, it’s all about whatever helps you move forward.

NEW Ivory Wedding Ring Coffin

WRC — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:50:34 +0000

Not long after we began selling the Wedding Ring Coffin to divorcees around the world, we started getting calls from people who wanted to use the Wedding Ring Coffin as a ring bearer’s box in their marriage ceremony. We were inspired to add a new color to our line to complement a wedding. It’s also perfect for proposing marriage.

The Ivory Wedding Ring Coffin is now available for purchase from our on-line store. We’ve also added a couple of new plaques for the special occasion— ‘Til Death Do Us Part and I Can’t Live Without You.

Wedding Ring Coffin Takes the Cake!

Divorce parties are a great way to acknowledge the end of a marriage and when there’s a party, you have to have cake! I just LOVE this divorce party cake which features the Wedding Ring Coffin.

This is one of the many deliciously unique cakes created by our friends at Elite Cake Creations in Pembroke Pines, FL. Check out their site at http://www.elitecake.com.

Wedding Ring Coffin, Take 2

WRC — Sun, 10 May 2009 14:00:09 +0000

They say variety is the spice of life, thats why we’ve decided to add a new design to our product line. This new style is as fabulous as the original—same mahogany finish, velvet ring insert, and engraved brass plaque—the only thing missing is the metal handles.

Our new version also has a new price tag, $29.95. We like to think were doing our part to help out during these tough financial times. Just because we’re in the middle of a recession doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself or a friend to a Wedding Ring Coffin.

Divorce Index – The New Economic Indicator?

WRC — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:25:04 +0000

Nobody wants to see marriages fail. And what kind of person would actually cheer as the number of divorces rise? (Divorce lawyers and Wedding Ring Coffin salespersons excluded.) But I’ve noticed an interesting trend. This past month there has been a higher level of celebrity divorces; Pete Townshend and Karen Astley, Robyn and Mel Gibson, and most recently Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn.

When times are tough, as they have been now for the past couple of years, divorce levels seem to go down. It’s too expensive to breakup! So then, could the inverse be true? If the economy is improving, do more people file for divorce? Is financial stability the last straw that empowers the broken-hearted to break the chains of a bad marriage?

Maybe this trend is a signal that the worst is behind us and we can look forward to a better tomorrow.

WRC and the Countess

jill — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:42:37 +0000

As you may have already heard, “Real Housewife” Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and her husband are divorcing. This news came out just as LuAnn was beginning her book tour for her new book, “Class with the Countess.” Lucky for me, her tour included a stop in my town and I had the privilege of hearing her speak and then got to meet her. She is a lovely, classy woman and she has very good taste—-she loved the Wedding Ring Coffin I presented to her. She also has a good sense of humor. She laughed out loud when she read the engraved plaque on the front of her Wedding Ring Coffin. It said, “Marriage…you can’t “count” on it.”

We wish LuAnn success with her book and lots of happiness as she begins a new chapter in her life.
