Throwing out old wedding album

Tammy, on February 14, 2012 at 4:33 PM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 23

I have been divorced for 5 years, and am preparing to marry someone else. My old wedding album has been collecting dust on the top of my shelf. Time to make it go away. It seems WEIRD to just toss in the trash can, tho. WHY??? Maybe because I know how much I paid for it even that many years ago?...

What is the world are you supposed to with the last remnants of a previous marriage?????

    Do NOT throw it out. I would have been completely heartbroken if my mother had told me she threw out her wedding album from her marriage to my father. Sure the relationship didn't last and it was a hellish childhood for me. But I still cherish those pictures even if she doesn't. The album is currently on display with my other albums in my living room. I enjoy pulling it out once in a while and looking at it.

    My son hasn't seen his father in almost 4 years. He is so afraid of forgetting him. I let him have a pic of his dad and he keeps it in his room. My FH understands the situation. I would keep the album in storage or maybe your parents house (if that is possible) Just so your FH doesn't find it open it up and see what in it. It hurts to see someone you love with someone else, even tho' it was the past. I just did a CD of my FH and his kids and there moms. It was my FH's life. 1ST wife then the baby, 2nd wife then another baby and so forth.. my fh and his kids loved it.. but it was kind wierd at first looking at all those pics. I am friends with 2 of his ex's they are the mothers of two of his grown sons, but wonderful woman.

    If you have children, you keep it for the kids. I was married, and still have alot of momentos from it. My husband doesn't mind and knows about it. He also has stuff from his first marriage. We both have children with our previous spouses, so those things will be important to them someday.

    It's not something I look at- ever. But I do keep them for when my children are older.
