So to celebrate the end of her 13-year-old marriage, this woman decided to get a bold photoshoot and went viral for it.

47-year-old Marie Lollis ended her marriage earlier this year, however, she refused to be upset about it. After all, she got the chance to start over and got a great photoshoot idea out of it. “I wanted a way to close a chapter in my life my way and throw a divorce party after finally making it official,” Marie told the Daily Mail.

So the divorcee put on knee-high boots, grabbed a bottle of wine, her wedding photo, and divorce papers, and cheerfully posed in front of the camera. The funny photos were taken by her sister-in-law Natasha Lollis who runs the Tiltin’ My Lens Photography business.

During the photoshoot, Marie posed happily with the wine glass that reads “Boy Bye”, smashed the photo frame and burned the photo, and stood joyfully holding her finalized divorce papers while holding a message to her ex-husband “I would wish you the best but… you already had it!”

The photo idea behind was to show that not every marriage ends up in tears. Marie wanted it to represent ‘strong powerful women’ who ‘have the strength to carry on’. “After everything, I’m stronger and I’m happy with my life. I’m blessed with a good man and family and close friends,” she said.

Marie told Daily Mail that the reason behind the divorce was her ex-husband’s abuse of drugs. “He got hooked on meth and got around with a wrong crowd,” she said. “It’s sad how meth can change a person. When he was not on that, he was a good man.”
