2. I have all the wedding pictures.

They represent an important event, and I can't imagine getting rid of them. We were married for 25 years.

My ex was not the love letter sort, but somewhere in one of the boxes I've yet to unpack, are the few letters he did write me at the beginning when he was away for some reason or another. Again, they still matter to me.

My advice would be to pack those things away -- except possibly for the bouquet as I can't imagine it is in any reasonable condition if it's been more than a few years -- and think about looking at them in the distant future. If you have children, the photos may be of interest to them, or to any grandchildren, someday.
