I kept some stuff for my daughter, I have my rings, dress and some photos. I intentionally planted some photos, etc that I came across in things I knew he was taking, I suspected that he was cheating but couldn't prove it. I found out recently, after it was final that he was cheating and is planning to get married in a few months. Divorce has only been final since December.
I still have all of mine and I think I will probably keep it. I have two little girls and I feel like I might want to share it with them when they are older.
That is the biggest reason I have kept my stuff, is in case DS is curious later.

I sold my rings.
Threw away all wedding photos and books. (My mom has a photobook at her house that she kept for DS1 if he ever wants to see it and so we have photos of family as well)
I spray painted my wedding dress to use as part of a Halloween costume at work. Very therapeutic, by the way.

I was planning to sell my rings but they were stolen. Our pictures are in storage at the house I moved out of that XH still lives in and we will show DS some day if he asks. I have a box with some invitations and stuff with my shit in storage too. Mostly I just didn't really want to see it but I couldn't part with it either. My mom had my wedding dresses boxed up before we were divorced and she asked if I wanted to sell it or take it to consignment and I couldn't really do that either. I'm not the most sentimental person but I didn't want to throw it all away like it didn't happen. It's still a part of my story.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
Well I definitely removed all pictures from frames and stuffed my wedding dress carelessly into a duffel bag that I put in the basement. And after a few chances to collect his belongings, everything that was still there when I moved I brought to goodwill. I haven't gotten around to fully purging. Right now I go by the out of sight, out of mind philosophy.
