Process:
I wrote out two copies of the separation document, one for each of us. I took the text of a document I found online and modified it. I used handmade paper and a dip pen and ink. No witnesses or rabbi were present for this ritual. We each read ours out loud, then we signed and dated and gave it to the other person. Then we broke a glass together.
