i am going to burn them. he is a monster.

That sounds more like my original plan!

Just keep them for a while. And you will know what to do as you heal from the divorce.
You never know what you want to do with them.
Although the marriage did not work out, the wedding day proably had some happy moments. You may want to cherish some of those moments.

When I say 'Happy moments', I am talking about being with your family, friends, and etc.

jgarc,
I don't know I haven't gotten to that point yet... we are still working on getting the house on the market.. but we have so many old pics... and I dread going through them. I may save them until a time I can better deal with this., It has only been a total of 6 weeks for me that this started and three weeks that he has been out of the house. I have to take things a little at a time and the house on the market is first and hard enough. I think though to your question I would save them for a year and then see how I feel
Wish you all the best....

From personal experience---I would pack it all up and if you can store it in an attic in a plastic rubbermaid container--do it. If you cannot--ask a close friend or family member to store them for you.
I was so depressed when my spouse divorced me that five months after the divorce bomb hit, I tossed them on what would of been our anniversary---since he had a wedding already lined up with the other woman three months later---I figured I wouldn't want them anymore. BUT I did regret it because I saved and scrapped book random pictures guest took that did not have him in it (pictures where I had no negatives to reprint from) and I also scrapped booked the front and inside of cards with signatures from friends and family---some who have passed on from life...I'll never get that part back. Keep them, if you have to, have someone else store them and then forget about them.

Threw them out or deleted them. I remember it enough every day - and its been 3 years. I don't need the hard copy reminders.

we cant make this decision for you though - just ask yourself what you are expecting to gain by keeping them. everyone is different.

I've been debating this one myself. I think, for me, that right now I'm keeping them. I don't want to make decisions like this while I'm still so emotional. And while right now I'm angry and bitter a lot of the time, eventually I won't be and I might want to remember the happy times too. Or maybe just to remind myself that once there really was love, and that I deserved it and I still do (working on believing that part of it, ugh, uphill battle). I find that I need tangible reminders, because I don't trust my memories. But that's me.

In the beginning I just threw them all in a container and put it far away from my daily life. After 24 years of Marriage and 3 kids later and 7 grandkids I am 2 years out of my very bad divorce but I am at peace with it and I recently went through the pictures and I wrapped them up for each of my kids and put their names on them and I asked them to let me know when they would like them. My daughter said she would like them after she moves into her new place and my sons I didn't hear from and if I do not I will give my daughter a chance to have them all and if not I will toss them out. I am in a other relationship now and I do not need to see what my past was with my ex but my kids can't divorce the fact or memories we are their parents. They do not bother me to look at or know they are in my residence or my boyfriend isn't bothered that I kept them. What they mean to my kids might be more than what they will ever mean to me. You will know after you heal what to do with them. Good luck.

I kept some of mine. They're in a scrapbook in the garage now. I reused the plain frames however :-) The girly frames (flowers, lace, etc) I put in a box and dropped off at my ex wife's place.

I figured that I might want to give them to my son when he's older. or not. but I am content to make that decision later.

Thank you guys. I guess there is no harm in keeping them for now. Even tho there's no real reason why I would ever want to look at then ever again. I just wish I could erase these 6 years. Will someone knock me in my head so I can forget?
