A woman celebrated her divorce by burning her wedding dress and telling her ex she's #&34;the best he will ever have#&34;.Lauren Brooke, 31, was married to her former partner for 10 years after tying the knot in October 2012.Lauren split with her ex-husband in September 2021 but by law had to be separated for a year and a day before they could file for a divorce in parts of the US.After the divorce was completed in January 2023, Lauren, alongside her mum, Felicia Bowman, 58, and best friend wanted to do an #&34;empowering#&34; photoshoot to mark the occasion.Lauren, a banker, from Cherryville, North Carolina, US, said: #&34;The intent was to show the fact that divorce is hard, ugly and painful for all parties involved.#&34;There were days when every morning I would wake up and cry.#&34;There were times when I thought my life wouldn't improve, but it has.#&34;We are getting divorced but we have to work with each other for the rest of our lives to bring up our children.#&34;I survived it, I came out onto the other side. I don't cry in the morning when I wake up anymore.#&34;I am in a better place.#&34;After her ex-husband filed for divorce in October 2022, Lauren thought her #&34;life was over #&34;and was left in a dark place.Lauren said: #&34;Life happens. People make choices and sometimes people have to live with no consequences. #&34;My intent with the separation was that I wanted to work it out, but that did not happen.#&34;I said 'if this does not work out if I am in pain, I will make light of it' and we did.#&34;The photoshoot took place in March 2023 in Lauren's back garden.Lauren said the shoot was #&34;spontaneous#&34; and #&34;last minute#&34;.Her mum, Felicia Bowman, 58, is a photographer, who took the photos and her best friend, is a videographer who filmed the shoot. Lauren said: #&34;There were lots of laughs that day. I am terrified of fire and they are lighting the dress on fire with me in it.#&34;I felt empowered. I was worried that there might be a moment when I was sad. It is the end of the marriage that I thought I would have forever.#&34;You are grieving the loss of the relationship but I didn't it was fun.#&34;The shoot took an hour and Lauren can be seen stamping on wedding pictures, ripping her dress up and setting it on fire.The mum of two said: #&34;I am very happy now.
