So what have you done with yours????

[brightwell]

Photo's, I gave ex baby photo's that had him in but I've still got the wedding photo's......8 years after he left. Always felt I should keep them but don't know why. I suppose I thought dd may want to have them. My parents split when I was in my 20's and I've got their wedding album and both their wedding rings.

I am not a single mum but my parents divoreced and I have their wedding photo album, so maybe it is an idea to keep for your dd?

Wedding rings (that we never got to exchange), threw them into the sea off the pier.

Engagement ring... no idea, stuffed in a drawer somewhere I think.

Kept all photos of DS with exP in, dont want him to think his dad is a tw*t!

Couldn't you have kept the rings and thrown xh off the pier?

Have kept wedding photos and ring incase children want them. I also use the photos as a bit of a gauge. They used to make me breakdown and howl when I looked at them. Now I think 'twat', but no tears!!!! Yay me!!

I have all pics of dc, and birth keepsakes etc. Xp never asked for any of it.

My parents divorced about 17 years ago and recently when my dad cleared the loft out, they managed to have a row (through me,they haven't spoken since the split) about the pile of baby's birth cards that my dad found.
Both of them wanted them.

In the end myself and my brothers decided that we would have them ourselves to save anymore arguing.

My dad also found their wedding album which neither of them wanted, and he was going to chuck it out but I have it now.

I have all the boys baby pictures, and still have a few pics from our wedding day stuffed in my photo box. Ex H wouldn't be bothered about having any of the boys baby photos.
Don't actually know where my wedding album is, but still have the video somewhere in one of my drawers. Would never watch it though. (not that I even have a video recorder now!)

My parents still have our wedding photo on display!

Wedding ring is in my bedside drawer & have no idea where engagement ring is, but lost the diamond to it a good year before we separated, so it wasn't even worn for the last year or so of our marriage.

Wedding dress is in one of the wardrobes at my parents house.

Hi Pinkchampagne .

I still have my wedding album and all my honeymoon photos in envelopes somewhere with stuff from the wedding - gift lists, menues, wedding cards, which I always meant to put into scrapbooks and never got around to. Also my engagement & wedding rings - which I miss wearing because they were designed and made by my sister and rather unusual - and my dress is in a box. My parents have also got my wedding photo out on display with pics of the rest of the family - but none of me with DP yet!

I keep all this stuff for DD - after all, despite her parents being divorced, I want her to know that we were really happy at the start, as her father's not a bad person, and nor am I - we were just the wrong people for each other, and we produced a lovely DD .

Wedding photos and all photos of me an ex before DS I left at our house when I left him. Knowing ex they are now in a rubbish tip somewhere along with all his other posessions he lost when he was evicted, the twunt.

I have kept some pics of ex with DS for DS to have when he's older, so he knows he was loved by his dad, even if he can't be bothered any more. Most of them though, especially the ones of all three of us, I ripped up and binned a long time ago.

Wedding ring I chucked into a bin.

Hi Tanee

My parents have our wedding picture in a frame alongside their wedding photo & my sister's. Can't see them removing it just yet either!

I feel similar to you in that I wouldn't get rid of any photos & bits because of the boys. We are both their parents, we were married, and much as things didn't work out, we don't hate each other.

My dd's told me that my parents had cut exh's face out of all their pics of us together.

wedding ring went into the North Sea.
wedding dress was cut up for rags, for general household use.

Still have a shedload of pics upstairs, and still have my wedding pics too.

I had thought about "editing wedding" photo's, cutting ex's face out & putting Johnny Depp's in, seemed quite comical after a bottle of rose. They are still intact, in a carrier bag in a cupboard. I threw my rings away years ago.

its all in a box in the loft. I put it up there whn i moved here 2 yrs ago, and can't see me looking in it for a long long time tbh.

All my photos, our wedding album, my wedding ring, rings my ex bought me, little things that were associated with my son that my ex didn't take when she raided the house while I was out last year, the diary I have written in since she left are all put together.

I am going to make a large oak memory box by hand, with iron fittings (and a bronze name plate with my son's name on it) and put it all inside. I'll give it to him when he is 18 or 21.

It's part of his history and hopefully will turn into some sort of family heirloom at some pont.

I split up with dd1's bio father when i was 6 months pregnant and burnt every picture, gift and momento from him.

Keeping my album for the kids, DD will get my wedding ring when she is older, don't know what exH has done with his. DD has my tiara and veil to play with and my dress is inmy wardrobe ready for selling when I can be bothered, exH was the one who always said don't sell it ??? PIL stil have wedding pics up.
