The percent of marriages that end in divorce continues to go up. Around 50% of all marriages in the US end in divorce or separation, and 41% of first marriages are over before ‘death do us part’. So, it only makes sense that people are starting to view divorce differently – some people are even choosing to celebrate their divorce in unique ways. Take Illinois-native Katylynn Mokee for example.
Divorcee woman named Katylynn Mokee from Illinois who is seen being celebrating a divorce photoshoot after four years of her failed marriage. The couple were together for 10 years before going their separate.

The red-headed young woman decided to put back on her $1,500 wedding gown after getting out of a four-year marriage. While wearing the gown, she splashed around in muddy waters before setting it on fire.
The dramatic photoshoot was in stark contrast to Katlynn’s wedding day photos.
Katlynn, pictured on her wedding day, says her ex-husband even offered to be a part of the shoot – but she declined.
She brought a cannister of petrol and a bottle of wine to help with her mission.
