My mom has mine, so the girls can have them when they are older. My rings too.

What are you doing up so early?

I kept my wedding dress and from time to time I model it....LOL jus jokin

When he was here the first week after he left getting some things, our wedding album was sitting there and he said I don't want this, i was so hurt and angry I threw it out, I started to go back and get it out later but by the time I did the trash ppl had already picked it up...why I am crying because of that now...All I have left is 2 large wedding pictures and my flowers...and though I think I need to ...I can't bring myself to throw it away.......

My wife and I went through a bunch of stuff after she told me she wanted out of our marriage (and that she wasn't sure she should have ever married me). One of the things she asked me if I wanted was some answering machine cassettes that I had saved from when we first met. I said "No." and she was hurt. I couldn't keep those, they would be too painful, but she had the nerve to get upset with me for not wating to keep them. BUT SHE WAS THE ONE LEAVING! Crazy.

I think I have no memorabilia of my wife. I wish none of this would have happened, but I can't hold on to what's gone. It's too hard.

Sent mine for my mom to store. Everytime I ran across those photos it would really cause me to regress. Don't know if I will ever look at them again, but they are there for my children to see.

I still have all my albums, but no pictures of my husband displayed in the house anywhere. He is still the father of my children, so if they want to look at them, I have no problem.

I am wondering the same thing now too!

After reading all of your responses, it seems that those of you who kept the pictures, did so for the children. I have no children and therefore don't need to keep them for that reason, but can't bring myself to treat them as trash!

Don't know where they are and I know I am going to run into something like that sooner or later.

s2bx said she wanted to keep her wedding rings for some reason. All of this is making me hurt thinking about it.

From my first marriage I saved the album, video, nothing else. I have been told that my wedding dress is still in his house in the same spot I left it in.I left him with the house. His fiance lives there and for the love of me I don't see why she wouldn't want to get rid of it. From my second marriage, yes, I know twice married, she must be a loser, but in fact those guys were the losers, anyway, I condensed those memories to a shoebox, if it didn't fit in the shoebox, then it went into the dumpster. I then put that box way up into storage. Out of site out of mind. You just have to do what you feel is best for you to move on.

I'm keeping it all stored away - my youngest is 1 and I'm sure at some point she'll want to see.

I'll let my 2 daughterss decide what to do with it when they're older. Dress too.

Rings - going to have them melted down to a ring for each of my daughters. I didn't tell him that's my plan, but I think that would be a nice thing for their 18th birthdays - or an off to college gift, or maybe even have it made for when they get married. We may not be together anymore, but there was love there once and they should get the benefit.

I threw my wedding pictures away along with pawning my ring. I want nothing to remind me of the 20 years of lies and abuse. It a lot of abuse from him to get to this point but I am glad I am here. The past with him is not anything I want to look back on. I donated my wedding dress just last week.

It's too early for me to decide right now. I still don't know whether to bury them or burn them. Right now I'm leaning towards burning them, but I'll wait till I'm opened minded about it.

I still have our wedding pictures. I have no idea if she would want them or not. I also have a cross stitched picture that her mom gave us. They are on a shelf in the bedroom closet. I may look at them again someday.

I came across a picture of us on our honeymoon the other day and we looked so happy. I felt so sad because there was a light a sparkle in my stbx's eyes that I have not seen in years. He is a shell of the man that he once was and this makes me sad. I too have a child and will save the pictures and dress for her.

Good question. I have not decided what I want to do with anything yet. I did not take all of it when I left the house. I am not sure if he took it or not. I will sell my wedding dress as I had planned to do this before the divorce ever came up. I have our professional pictures and video. I will hold on to that for the kids. My wedding ring still sits in my jewelry box. I actually put it on the other day. It felt so foreign to me to have it on. I would like to pawn it and buy a nice piece of jewelry with it. My birthstone is diamond but I don't want to make another ring from that. I think I will pawn it and buy a different diamond for myself. I left behind wedding day momentos and snap shots of our wedding day. I often wonder if he took them or left them behind when we lost the house.
