I came across our stack of Polaroid guest books (remember how popular those were on TK?) and it was really fun reading through them and looking at the pics. Some people have passed away since then and it was a little bittersweet to see their faces again.

The big album is trotted out every anniversary-ish. The out takes are on constant rotation, Lucy loved them! It's kind of nice, every anniversary I'm surprised at how good the actual album is haha

We actually just pulled our DVD out because my BIL passed away recently. We realized our girls are 7 and 5 and they'd never seen it! My son was 5 when got married and he remembered a lot. It was kind of great for us all, but yeah, some tears because of those who are gone The kids look at all of our photo albums about once a year, they'll pull them out and look through for hours. Sadly because of digital photos I don't do albums anymore. I frame or canvas ones I love.
Not pics but I finally saw my wedding video for the first time on my 10th anniversary. I cried a bunch because it was a total surprise arranged by my H (I thought we'd never get it because the videographer, who was also a friend, procrastinated a whole bunch and then moved out of state). It was the best surprise ever!
I haven't looked at our album in quite some time, nor have I watched the slideshow the photographer gave us. I do look through my FB album from time to time, most recently was on our anniversary in May.

Aside from the one on the wall in the bedroom, and the one on the wall it the family room, not much. I looked at them a lot more our first 4-5 years of marriage (probably weekly or so), but now if I'm looking at photos, I'm probably looking at photos from our travels. We've been on a lot of pretty awesome trips since then.
I used to look at our "guest book" almost every day (it is a wall hanging). Unfortunately, we don't have a great place to hang it in our new house, so it's still in storage.
The video is on VHS, so, um... I think I've seen it once. We don't have anything that can play it.
We have a few photos from the wedding framed in our living room, so I see those every day. Otherwise, I look through the digital pics on my computer a few times a year.
Our album sits on the bottom ledge of our coffee table. I still only look at it a few times a year. It is in a place where I can easily grab in case of a fire or tsunami though. At least that's what I tell myself when I move it to dust every week.
Every few months I glance at a digital album of a random wedding event as I sift through iPhoto. There were a lot of pre-wedding events so there are a lot of albums. I will print them into an album eventually.
But I still hate that the photographer I had researched and vetted had to get divorced and bankrupt his business right after I got married and I never got my print albums or video that I paid for.
I went to a wedding this weekend where the bride was obsessed with photos. Like obsessed to the point of getting married in the 100 degree heat on the beach in no shade just so she could have beach wedding photos. She already had like 5 pre-wedding event professional photos posted on her FB over the last 6 months. For her sake, I sure hope she gets all the photos her heart desires.
Usually once or twice a year when I need a good Facebook pic I don't think I've ever watched the video, I'm not even sure where it is but now I have the urge to go find it just so I know it hasn't disappeared.
