Oddly, no.As in who was being forced to keep it?
My theory is that some women plan for wedding for years before they even meet their future husband, they are wearing the most expensive dress they will ever wear - the only couture, looking better than they will ever again. So, the wedding is important even when the marriage isn't. The men just want the photos because their ex wants them.
(It would be the same the other way, things the wife wants only because the husband wants them, but they would differ for different people, so not so readily apparent)

I've turned that option off: I don't like facebook curating my nostalgia.It is rather odd switching to facebook and seeing a picture taken of a holiday we had 2 years ago, brings back good memories

I don't know how to do that.

I click the little arrow at the top right of the post, and there's an option that is something like "I don't want to see this". Click that, and then it asks you if you still want to see the old postings. You say "show me less" or something like that. I've done this twice, and only seen 2 such postings.

I'm wife no. 2 for my husband. After a few years (and waaaay before I came along) , his first wife had tired of him and walked out - entirely her prerogative, and, as he and I have just celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary I have to say that one woman's junk is another woman's treasure, and I'm generally more pleased than not that he was available and on the market at about the time I happened to be looking.
Anyhoo, once she'd cleared out and left, he'd been in a bit of a state for a year or two, then he picked himself up and started to get his life back together, and he and I met up.Shortly after this, she took to ringing him up now and again, just for a 'little catch up chat'. I was younger then, and a lot more tolerant (or naive?!) than I am nowadays, so to begin with, I put up with it. Then, the day came when I happened to be in when she rang for the second time in a couple of months. Funnily enough, she wasn't keen to speak to me. But it was ok. I had a spare copy of one of the wedding photos. One of just me on my own. I put it in an envelope and sent it to her, with a little note explaining that:
a) I was real
b) we were married
c) she'd had her chance and hadn't wanted him
d) it would be a fair thing to say he deserved the chance to make a better go of marriage no.2 than he had managed with marriage no.1.
Funnily enough, we never heard from her again.
That was the best use I've ever put one of my wedding photos to.

Neither me or mr6 are big fans of having our photo taken and I found the whole trend of taking you off to a random spot of green to pose a bit naff, so we didn't have a photographer at the wedding.The plan was for friends and family to take candid snaps throughout the day, give me the copies and I'd make an album.
In practice my cousin fancied himself as a budding David bailey and took quite a few posed shots, and despite everyone and their brother shoving a camera in my face nobody ever handed over the snaps.
We have half an album of pics which sits in the wardrobe with a couple of others. On our anniversary I share a grainy shot on fb and revel in being told how young we look .

My wedding photographer gave us a disc with all the photo's on and we just had a few photobooks made up (one for us an the two mums) when we returned (married overseas).
I'm divorced now, but photobook is in a box of stuff at the back of the wardrobe, it comes out occasionally as the OH thinks I look sexy dressed up as a bride. In fact the wedding dress has been out once of twice for the same reason!

We got married in Vegas and had some professional photos taken but the best ones by far were taken by the limo driver, a waitress and some random couple at our hotel entrance.

Being of a little soppy nature I guess I now don't look if ever Mrs spike gets the album out
A, because it's 26 years ago and I look quite a bit younger
And
2, because seeing all my long lost relatives and especially my dad it always ends in tears

By this time we'd just had enough "posing".

Saw these in the paper, a couple recreate their wedding pics 40 years on. He's in the same jacket and she's in the same dress!
