first wedding photo album

SCD1126

I still have my proof album from my first wedding. It's buried in a closet that I found while cleaning today. I have 2 daugthers with my ex. Do I keep the proof album in case they want to look at it some day (they're 5 and 4) or should I pitch it?

I'd keep it.  It's part of your history, and may be special to them someday.  It certainly doesn't threaten your second marriage.

Definitely keep it. I still like to see pictures of my parents together.

I gave my album to my daughter when she got her own place.  She has it tucked away somewhere, but it's her history, so I knew she'd want it.

Definitely keep it.

I kept mine for my kids or grandkids. I know I'd love to see a photo of my grandparents together before they divorced and I don't think any exist anymore.

I kept mine and plan to give it to my son.

I kept mine, and a few other things, and put them in a box in the basement labeled 'For the Kids'.  I know exactly what's inside, and I figure I'd let them decide if they want them someday.

I know my new H isn't comfortable, but I have mine. When my boys are old enough, they can share it. It made me the woman I am. Not having it doesn't change the history of a 16 yr marriage. My boys adore their dad and probably will look for that one day.

I've kept everything that involved my ex including the family ornaments we had for our Christmas tree. It's in a box marked KIDS bc one day my children may want it. FI actually suggested it, he tossed his stuff by his own choice bc they had no kids, nothing connecting them

My ex husband has it, I assume. I personally didn't want it, but I thought maybe our kids might. I remarried (and have since divorced that husband) and him keeping stuff from him and his ex really bothered me so I didn't want anything from me and my ex even though we had kids (he didn't have kids so I didn't see why he had stuff from his 1st marriage). Now that I am getting remarried, and this time we both have kids, I can see why we would have stuff from the previous marriage. If  there are kids from the marriage, yes, keep it for the kids. I have the albums with their dad. Its about them, not us and our marriage. Let the kids decide what they will eventually want.
