Did you understand what happened to the author's wife? Have you ever had or heard about a similar experience? 

じゃれマガ 2012年07月10日号
My wife was going somewhere on her motor scooter. Suddenly, a bee hit went inside her helmet. It stung her just above her right ear. She was planning to go shopping, but the sting hurt so much that she had to come home. The pain went away after 30 minutes, but it still hurt when she touched it. Now she understands how painful a bee sting can be. She remembers our poor younger daughter who was stung several times by bees when she was small.

JareMaga July 6 - Divorce Ceremony

I've never heard of this before, and was really surprised!

I watched a unique ceremony on TV the other day. People have wedding ceremonies, but how many people have a divorce ceremony?  
The couple getting a divorce invited their friends and had a party. The master of ceremonies ("shikaisha") introduced their personal histories. Some of their friends said a few words. It was exactly the same as a wedding ceremony, but there was one big difference. They broke their wedding rings with a hammer. 
If you were invited, would you go?
