What do you do with your wedding photos after the wedding?

What did you do with your photos after the wedding? Do you have them up in your house? Do you have an album? If you have an album, do you get it out and look at it regularly? … I mean, I could put one or two up, but I live in a small apartment and I don’t want to turn it into a wedding theme park.
