Keep anything after divorce?
I was curious how many of you kept items from your marriage after getting divorced or if you threw everything out the window. Did you keep the ring?
Re: Keep anything after divorce?
He kept my replacement wedding band (the original was stolen); I kept the engagement ring (I actually need to get around to selling that...). I also kept my gown (need to sell or donate), and electronic copies of pics. He didn't want the china, and I wasn't about to donate Vera Wang to goodwill, so I took it. I also took the VW toasting flutes and champagne glasses, and have been loaning them out to people who want them. I also put my faux fur shrug into the CIncinnati knotties wedding pool board - it's still being passed around from bride to bride, as far as I can tell.
He kept hard copies of the pics, our wedding album, and the guestbook. Well, actually he kept everything else, but whatever.
When I moved out, I took my clothes,shoes and accesories' my DVDs / Blu-rays / records; and my books/papers. He kept EVERYTHING else. Superhappy fun times.

We had a very small, family centered wedding, so there wasn't much "wedding stuff". We both have digital photos and I still have my dress (just haven't found a place to donate it yet) and my rings.
As for other "stuff", I kept the house and everything that I purchased (before and during), my car, my clothes, my sanity and my self respect!
I got rid of all the sentimental things, the only thing I waffled on was some pics that my stepson had drawn for me, and a note he wrote to my boss asking if i could stay home from work to play legos. I ended up throwing it all out. I knew the only time I'd ever look at anything like that would be at 2 am with a bottle of wine and cry my eyeballs out, so I opted to avoid that.
